However, the physical pain that plagued Tylerâs arm was not as painful as the emotional pain in his
heart. Vickyâs beautiful hand was like a sharp knife, cutting his flesh little by little, causing his whole
body to stiffen in pain.
Being at the receiving end of betrayal was inherently painful, but what was even more painful was
being betrayed by a loved one when one was at their most vulnerable.
Magnus sighed inwardly and thought, âNo matter how many of my elite men I brought to take down
Tyler, theyâll never be as powerful as Vickyâs womanly wiles.â
Seeing the opportunity, Magnus immediately signaled his subordinates with his eyes to take down
Tyler. One of them immediately knew what he was hinting at and without a moment of hesitation raised
his hand and swiftly brought it down on the back of Tylerâs neck.
Even when he fell unconscious, Tyler still held onto Vickyâs hand; he never let her go.
Magnus walked over to Vicky and asked, âMiss Shaw, are you okay?â
Vicky did not answer him. She simply stared blankly at the unconscious Tyler while the image of him
looking at her with eyes filled with shock and hurt before he ultimately passed out replayed in her mind.
Vicky never imagined she would live to see the day when she would come across that kind of
expression in Tylerâs eyes.
Magnus did not get upset when Vicky ignored him.
âMiss Shaw, letâs take you back now.â
Vicky closed her eyes and nodded lightly.
Just as she was about to get up, Vicky felt her sleeves tightened. Her heart skipped a beat when she
instinctively looked down at the still-unconscious Tyler and discovered his hand was gripping tightly
onto her sleeves.
She tried to loosen his grip, but alas, he was too strong. In the end, she failed to break free.
âHere, let me do it,â said Magnus when he saw her struggling. He took out a knife and cut off Vickyâs
sleeves.
Tylerâs hand gradually dropped to the ground with the piece of fabric still clutched tightly in his palm.
Vickyâs eyes reddened. She hurriedly turned her head away, not having the heart to look at him any
longer.
Magnus ordered his men to carry Tyler away, while Vicky was quickly brought back to her school.
She knew Tyler would not have the opportunity to see her anymore since he would be locked up, but
then again, he might not want to see her even if the opportunity presented itself. After all, she was the
one who shattered his heart into a million pieces.
â¦
Vicky went back to her peaceful albeit busy life of studying and working.
She never touched the 150 million dollars Magnus wired to her, even though she could not return it to
him.
Another month passed in this way.
One late night, she just got off her shift and was locking up the cafe when she had a sudden strange
feeling. She immediately frowned and looked around her.
Vicky did not know whether she was imagining things, but for the past few days, she kept having the
feeling someone was secretly following her. However, every time she looked back, there was no one.
Suddenly, Vickyâs phone rang. She took out her phone and saw the callerâs nameâNoah Canyer.
She answered the call. âHey, Noah.â
âVicky, I just received news that not only did hypnosis fail to work on Tyler, but he also took the
opportunity to escape! We donât know where he is now, but itâs very likely that heâll look for you, so
please be careful and try not to go out unless necessary.â
