Chapter 358: Chapter 360

Chapter 360

Vicky walked out of the hospital, but she wandered on the street instead of going home.

Vicky used to feel secure at home, but it recently became suffocating to stay home as well.

Honk!

Hearing the honk of a car, she looked up to find a car racing toward her. She had been in her head the

entire time and could not react in time, so it was too late to dodge.

Screech!

The car came to a sudden halt, and the people around gasped. The car was at too high a speed to stop

immediately.

Just when everyone thought that Vicky was about to be sent flying, someone pulled her backward

abruptly, and the car raced by.

“Thank you.” Vicky turned to look at the person who helped her.

Harvey gazed down at her. ‘Vicky, what happened?”

He had never seen her in such a terrible state before.

“I’m fine,” she said. “I just haven’t been sleeping well.”

Harvey had known Vicky for long enough to spot her lie and said, “Vicky, you don’t look like you’re just

suffering from the lack of sleep.”

She had not told Tyler what happened, so she was not going to tell Harvey. Thus, she changed the

subject. ‘Why are you here?”

Harvey shot her a knowing look and said, “You went in there to see your friend and you eventually have

to come out, so I waited for you at the entrance.”

Vicky was too absorbed in her thoughts to notice him, and since he did not know what happened to her,

he decided to follow her and ran into the sight of her almost getting hit by a car.

Vicky did not want to be associated with Harvey, but she could not possibly give him the cold shoulder

when he saved her life. “Mister Sparks, do you need something?”

“Vicky, I want to talk to you.”

“We’ve said everything we needed to say on the phone last time.’

“I won’t use you against Tyler, Vicky. You don’t have to avoid me like this.”

Vicky did not respond.

“Ten minutes. Just give me ten minutes, okay?” Harvey looked at her. “You wouldn’t want me to come

to the hospital looking for you every day, would you?”

Vicky was already at her wit’s end with the masked man and did not have the strength to deal with

Harvey, so she nodded.

Five minutes later, the two sat down in a cafe by the road.

The bittersweet scent of coffee filled the air as the two sat across each other wordlessly.

Vicky was the first to break the silence. “Proceed, Mister Sparks.”

He picked up his cup of coffee and took a sip. The bitterness filled his mouth, and he drawled, “You are

aware of the fight between me and Tyler back then, right?”

She nodded.

“I came really close to buying Hart Corporation out, but Tyler’s parents died on their way to sign it, and

the buyout was never confirmed. Before stepping foot into Stoneford City, I ran a detailed analysis of

the power balance in Zendonia and though the Harts were pretty well-off, they were considered inferior

to the Sparks and even the Shaws. I extended the intention of joining forces with the Shaws, and

Stoneford City was supposed to be mine.”

Vicky did not know why he was telling her this and muttered, ‘Are you saying that you wouldn’t have

failed unless Tyler played dirty and plotted against you?”

“Tyler resented me, and it’s not strange to assume that he’d plot against me, but…”

He stared into her eyes seriously as the casual look on his face vanished.” He dared to tell you that I

gave you to another man for some woman…” He narrowed his eyes coldly. “When that ‘other man’ was

him!”
