Chapter 139
"Today is Tyler's birthday, and everything you do represents not just yourself but Tyler as well. You're
embarrassing him." Maria lowered her voice but made sure that she was loud enough for the others to
hear her." How about you apologize to Miss Mayland and we'll all forget that anything ever happened?"
Maria and Nikki partnered to paint a picture for the other guests.
Not only were the elite members of Stoneford City invited, but there were also wealthy individuals from
all around the world present at the hall who were not aware of Vicky's past or the rumors about her.

Vicky with contempt.
Maria's lips curled into a smug smile when she saw the looks on the other guests' faces. 'So what if
Tyler approves of you as his wife? I want everyone to scorn you; spurn you wherever you go!'
Vicky listened to them quietly before commenting, "Just like what Miss Mayland and Miss Sparks had
said, there's nothing between Miss Mayland and Tyler, so why should I envy her at all? Don't you think
your claims kind of contradict each other?"
Tears welled in Nikki's eyes. "But you just wouldn't believe me, Miss Shaw... II
Vicky smiled. "Why wouldn't I believe you?"
Nikki did not expect such a question and paused for a moment. "I... I don't know..."
Vicky turned to scan the crowd calmly. "I know that there have been rumors about me going around. It
takes the sharpest eyes and brightest mind to tell rumors from the truth, but it's extremely easy to start
one. As Missus Hart, I swear that what I'm about to say is one hundred percent true. II
The crowd quieted down.
Vicky did not raise her voice like Maria did nor did she whisper as though she was the victim like Nikki
did. She maintained the same tone and speed without a trace of panic or concern on her face.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I don't want to comment on what Miss Mayland and Miss Sparks said, but I'm sure everyone here saw
how Tyler treated me and anyone with eyes can tell how close we are. Even if we’re just putting on an
act, I'm no longer the same woman who could be ridiculed without consequence. I used to be
relentless in my effort of trying to maintain this marriage and to seek more attention from Tyler. Now
that I have what I want, why would I do something so foolish?
"Besides..." She smiled at Nikki. "Why would I be so jealous enough to do something like this to her in
public without any regard for the occasion? Is she extremely beautiful? Is she from an extremely
powerful family? Is she loved dearly by Tyler?"
Silence fell over the hall, and the guests glanced back and forth from Vicky to Nikki.
