Chapter 1072
"How can I marry someone like that? My parents respected my wishes in the beginning, but as time went on, and
the situation at the Starling Group got worse and worse... they started to lose their patience and told me to just
choose someone. Needless to say, Tyler was the best option I had amongst all the men I described just now, so I..."
Here, Aurora dropped her head in shame.
Vicky was not surprised to hear what Aurora told her at all.
Tyler was indeed that attractive. When Vicky was younger, she fell for him hard, making her no different than
Aurora.
Vicky asked, "What happened after that? How did everything end up being fake when you had the chance to be his
fiancee?”

I discovered the truth, I didn't have the power to fight back... not until I met him."
She hesitated before continuing, "He looked into me before we met. After you found out, he contacted me privately
to ask me to put on an act with him, and in return, he would help the Starling Group to solve their problems and
also grant me one wish.
"Tyler is the most perfect man I've ever seen in my life, so I didn't want to give him up so easily. If I don't marry him,
I'll
have to marry some old and ugly pervert. But he told me he had no intention to marry me, and if I don't agree to
his terms, he won't get engaged to me either.
"Meaning to say, I'll have to go through the whole process of going on blind dates again. So, after weighing up the
pros and cons, I agreed to his terms. I'll admit that I was unhappy about being forced into agreeing with his terms,
and that was why I treated you so rudely at first, but after...."
Aurora's expression became a little weird. "But after that... I'm glad I made the right decision."
She thought herself fortunate to not be too hung up with Tyler. After spending some time with him and getting to
know him better, she realized that there was something very, very wrong with him.
It could all be down to her imagination, but it was already manipulative enough that he asked her to team up
together to trick Vicky. However, to actually rope Elijah into the whole ruse too? Imagine just how psychopathic
would a person need to be to bribe the whole world into deceiving one person!
What was even more confounding was that up to that point, Aurora still had no idea why Tyler would do such a
thing like this. Why did he divorce Vicky If he did not want to let her go in the first place? Of course, Aurora would
never tell Vicky what was on her mind because it was only her opinion. Tyler could be normal for all she knows.
Aurora looked at Vicky with a serious and sincere expression on her face.

"Vicky, I'll admit that I had ulterior motives for getting close to you in the beginning, but after getting to know you, I
realized I had misunderstood you. I don't care whether you believe me or not, but I really saw you as a friend. I
know I have no right to use the word 'friend' with you but... I want to make something very clear to you.
"Tyler and I are not married, and there's nothing hanky-panky going on between us. He doesn't like me, and I don't
like him, so you don't have to see me as a threat."
Vicky lowered her eyes to hide her feelings.
"Thank you for telling me all this, Miss Starling."
Aurora knew nothing she could do would be able to undo the lies. It was just as Tyler said. She had lost the right to
be friends with Vicky the moment she agreed to work with him.
She did not ask Vicky to forgive her but instead said, "Okay, Vicky. I'll be going then."
Vicky nodded.
Just when she was about to leave, a sudden thought occurred to Aurora. She stopped in her tracks and said," Vicky,
make sure you don't go out unless necessary for the time being."
Something flashed across Vicky's eyes. She looked at Aurora and asked, "Why?"
