Vickyâs status was not considered low, but compared to the Hart family, the difference was indeed
immense. Even with the support of her family, she was hardly worthy of being wed to the likes of Tyler.
During that time, Tyler was busy resolving his companyâs crisis, so they rarely saw each other.
As a result, Vicky was constantly invited by Missus Hart to accompany her, under the guise of teaching
Vicky proper manners and etiquette. In reality, she did not learn much about etiquette, and Missus Hart
simply took her to numerous banquets and social gatherings.
At first, Vicky thought Missus Hart wanted to broaden her horizons, but as she faced more and more
ridicule and gossip, Vicky finally realized the truth.
Missus Hart was a force to be reckoned with and managed to hide her true intention all along. Despite
all the difficulties, mockery, and grievances, Vicky did not admit defeat. She silently endured and kept
herself from mentioning any of the events to Tyler.
âVicky. Vickyâ¦â A deep and melodious voice echoed, sounding as if it came from beyond a distant
dream.
Vickyâs eyebrows quivered as she broke free from her slumber.
She opened her eyes and beheld a handsome and noble face, familiar enough to bring her solace. At
that moment, he gazed at her intently, his deep-black eyes mirroring her figure.
It felt as if she traveled back many years within an instant when he once looked at her with the same
gaze. Feeling a lump in her throat, she abruptly threw herself into the manâs embrace, unable to hold
back her tears.
Tyler remained stunned for a few seconds before instinctively holding her delicate and frail frame.
Over the years, she had seldom been affectionate toward him, let alone initiating any form of intimacy
with him. Even after her memory loss, any affectionate gestures she made toward him had always had
ulterior motives.
Tears dampened Tylerâs white shirt as he gently patted her back, his eyes showing a tenderness that
even he failed to notice.
âItâs alright now, everythingâs going to be fine,â he muttered.
It was a rare, tender moment, and the others stared at the two from afar without a word, refraining from
interrupting. However, at that very moment, Orion and Valencia entered, breaking the tranquility with
their words.
âOh my, how did Vicky end up here?â
The tender atmosphere dissipated in an instant.
Vicky lifted her head and, through tear-filled eyes, saw the middle-aged couple. Her pupils contracted,
and she unconsciously clenched onto Tylerâs shirt.
Sensing Vickyâs unease, Tyler stood in front of her, blocking their line of sight. His gaze swept lightly
over the approaching couple. âI was about to ask you two why Vicky is here,â he questioned.
Orion and Valencia had both come up with an excuse as they imprisoned Vicky.
âWe did let Vicky go. We have witnesses and surveillance footage to prove that, butâ¦â Valencia looked
at Vicky in surprise. âVicky, why are you here? Do you know that Tyler has left no stone unturned here
in our house, searching for you? I did humiliate you when I invited you here, but if youâre upset with me,
you couldâve told Tyler or talked to me about it. There is no reason for you to go into hiding⦠Do you
have any idea how much Tyler has suffered in the past few days?â
Valencia attempted to blame it all on Vicky, implying that Vicky was hiding on purpose to frame Tylerâs
parents for her disappearance.
What the maid said popped up in Vickyâs mind in the past and she thought to herself, âWhat kind of
parents are they?â
Tyler sneered coldly. âWhy do I recall that maid saying that you two were the ones who gave the orders
to transport Vicky here?â
Harry immediately brought the maid over.
