Chapter 1128
As he finally controlled his anger after a while, Tyler said in a deep voice, "The Hart family is more devious than you
think. Staying here any longer will only put your life in danger. Do you understand?"
Vicky scoffed. "And who's to blame for that?"
She would not have ended up in the Hart family's place if Tyler did not hurt Lincoln. It was he who did not think of
the consequences. It was not like they would do anything to Tyler since he was related to them by blood. She,
however, was an outsider. If it were not for Old Mister Hart, whose position had not been determined, Tyler would
have taken Vicky away a long time ago.
Tyler fell silent as he did not know how to answer her, but after a while, he said, "The Yeagars would never call off
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe marriage, so you'll only make an enemy out of them if you're too close with Lincoln."
"It's simple, then—I'll just have to stay away from Lincoln," replied Vicky indifferently. In other words, she had no
intention to leave with Tyler, and this made his temper flare up again.
"And about what happened this time." Tyler's voice turned cold. "In a sane person's eyes, it looked like you pushed
my mother into the water out of self-defense, but you should know my family has never been the one to be
reasonable. If word get out about what you did, do you think my family will
help you over Missus Hart?"
"So you want me to apologize to her? Fine, I'll do it," replied Vicky lightly.
"Just how badly do you want to stay here?" growled Tyler.
Vicky chuckled wryly. "It's not that I want to stay here so much. It's more like...the only way I can get away from you
is to stay here."
"Get away from me?" At that point, Tyler was in full-blown rage mode. "Do you want to get away from me that
much?"
"Yes. Very much so." Vicky, too, could not keep her temper in anymore. She became as furious as Tyler was. "I
wanted to do so many years ago. You should know that."
She would not have brought up the past if it were not for Valencia making her life difficult and Tyler forcing himself
onto her today. She was too young and naive then. In other words, she was no match for Valencia, who was used to
pulling underhanded tricks to survive in a family like the Harts. Being so experienced, Valencia only needed to say a
few words to make Vicky see how futile it would be for her to stay with Tyler.
Vicky could have chosen to stay with Tyler even if she was forced to break up with him, but she did not, and she had
come to regret that decision, especially after knowing how much she had hurt him and what the Hart family did to
him after that. However, while it was true it was her fault for breaking up with Tyler in the past...all the guilt she felt
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfor him gradually dissipated each time he took revenge on her.
'I hate how he won't take no for an answer. Maybe my breaking up with him in the past was all part of his plan to
buy himself some time to gain a foothold in the Hart family and make me put down my guard. Maybe...he never
thought of letting me go in the first place,' thought Vicky.
So many years of deliberation were enough to show Vicky how terrifying Tyler was, and she became rightfully afraid
of him. She had no will to endure his revenge anymore.
She thought Tyler would erupt in anger when she brought up the past, but for some reason, he actually calmed
down.
His powerful arms subconsciously tightened around her. "It wasn't your fault," he said in a tone that seemed to be
trying to convince himself more than her. "You wouldn't have broken up with me if they didn't force you to do that."
Vicky felt her breath catch in her throat. "You knew all about it already?"
"Yes," said Tyler after a moment of silence.
