Chapter 47

Sebastian furrowed his brows and gave it some thought before speaking,

“Mother.”

Missus Mills gave him a reproachful look. “Vicky’s mother and I were best friends

when we were young. I also saw Vicky growing up since she was a baby. Even

though we did not have the chance to make Vicky my daughter–in–law, I still see

her like she is my daughter. Do you think I will do anything to harm her?”

There was nothing wrong with the first part of the things Missus Mills said. It was

the later part…that sounded a little off.

Enter title…

If Tyler were not there, it would be fine for Missus Mills to say those things. Since

Tyler was here, it did not seem appropriate for her to say those things. Like she

was implying something and even more trying to sow discord.

After saying those, Missus Mills looked at Tyler again. “Mr. Hart, would you mind if

I borrow Vicky away from you to catch up?”

As usual, Tyler looked calm and remote, without any expression. No one could

tell what he was actually thinking. “Do whatever you like,” he said before leaving.

Missus Mills looked at Vicky gently. “Vicky, shall we talk?”

“Mother…” Sebastian still felt the need to stop his mother.

On the other hand, Vicky answered the question and stopped Sebastian from

talking further. “Sure.”

Missus Mills gave Sebastian a warning look before walking away with Vicky as

they held hands together.

In the lounge, Missus Mills started talking while she made tea. “It looks like the

relationship between you and Tyler is getting better. You two actually attended this

party together today.”

The way she brewed the tea looked so elegant and clean. There was a feeling

that no one knew how to describe.

Everyone knew Vicky and Tyler were not exactly having a happily ever after type

of marriage. Even when they had to attend the same event, they never arrived

together.

The fragrance of the hot tea emitted into the air.

Vicky sat on the chair and said, “You should be happy that my relationship with

Tyler is getting better. Who knows, maybe your son might feel hopeful of

rekindling back with me if I have a divorce… I bet that’s the last thing you’ll like to

see.”

Missus Mills was pouring the tea into the cup as Vicky was speaking. Her finger

shivered, and she accidentally spilled some tea on the coffee table. She cocked

up her head to look at Vicky’s beautiful and exquisite face. “I heard from

Sebastian that you’ve lost your memory after the car crash. Guess it was just

something you said to fool that stupid boy.”

It was impossible for Vicky to tell the irony in her words. She just smiled.

“Losing my memory does not mean I can’t think. There are many things that I can

know just by looking back at old news–like how you treat me with kindness.

However, after my family fell, you started to stop.

your son from being close to me and even started a scandal to get me to cut ties

with him…”

Her cyes turned cold as she looked at Missus Mills while still keeping a smile on

her face. “Am I right, Missus

Mills?”

Missus Mills looked into Vicky’s eyes and suddenly smiled. “I was wondering if

you really had lost your memory or you were just pretending to lose your memory.

From the looks of it…you really don’t remember anything.”

“What are you trying to say?” Vicky asked.

Missus Mills sighed. “People said that I fawn upon the rich and powerful. You

might say I am a vain person. Be close to your family before it fell down, and

immediately draw a line after your family was down like I never knew any of you.

Even if I’m really this type of person, how hard is it to put on a fake show?”

Vicky’s pupils shook. “What do

you

mean?”

“You’re a smart girl. There are things that I don’t need to say.” Missus Mills took a

sip of the tea. “But since you’ve lost your memory and do not remember anything,

I think I should warn you.”

She looked at Vicky with a serious face. “Vicky, I didn’t help you out because I

was a cruel person. The Mills family could not afford to risk it because of the

people you offended. Look at how your family turned out. Look at the families that

were close to your family. None of them survived. And…”

She paused for a while before continuing, “And your ex–fiance with such an

amazing talent. Think about how he ended up.“
