Chapter 26
Sebastian’s expression darkened. “Vicky, if nothing is troubling you, you can tell me. Others might be
scared of crossing Tyler, but I’m not.”
The Hart family was one of the most powerful families in Stoneford City, but the Mills family was among
those on the list as well.
Feeling moved, Vicky said, “I’ve already decided, but thank you, Mister Mills. I’ve caused you a lot of
trouble in the past two days.”
He scowled. “Vicky, we’ve known each other most of our lives, so you don’t have to thank me… Don’t
call me
Mister Mills. Just call me Sebastian.”
“Alright, Sebastian.”
He walked over to her bed. “Vicky, you might not remember this, but we grew up as friends. I know that
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI’m a stranger to you now and you can’t trust me, but…” He looked into her eyes. “I know you. You
would’ve never dropped the charges for no reason at all.”
She did not respond.
He kept his eyes trained on her. “Vicky, can you tell me what happened?”
All of Vicky’s pretenses meant nothing to the people who knew her. After a long moment of silence, she
confessed, “I made a trade with Tyler. He’ll help to get Cece out, and I’ll drop my charges on Sasha.” She
then proceeded to briefly explain what happened to Cece.
Sebastian listened to her thoughtfully and said, “Why didn’t you tell me about Cece? Even if you don’t
agree to Tyler’s terms, I could’ve helped to get her out as well.”
“Cece fell into a trap, yes, but she did hit Hector Larson. He’s the only son of the Larson family, and
they’re
not about to let Cece go. It’s not that easy to get her out.”
The Larsons would not care as to why Cece had beaten Hector to begin with. Tyler had been reluctant to
help, not because he hated Vicky and wanted her friends to suffer; he was not that petty. In his
perspective, crossing the Larson family for a mere assistant was not worth it. More precisely, Vicky was
not worth the
effort.
Vicky was not surprised as she had never been worthy of anything to Tyler. To him, she was hardly as
important as Sheila.
Sebastian studied the look on her face and muttered huskily, “Even if it’s not easy, I have my ways.”
”
“Thank you for that, Sebastian, but…” She paused hesitantly and said, “I don’t want you and Missus Mills
to argue over me again.”
Stunned, he asked, “How do you know about that, Vicky?” Soon, he came to a realization. “Did Tyler tell
you?
She shook her head. “I did some research on the Mills family this morning…and found something.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTyler had only mentioned that Missus Mills did not wish for Sebastian to be in contact with her, and Vicky
instantly realized that there was more to the story. Afterward, it was not at all difficult to put the pieces
together from news online.
“Vicky, Mother just has some misunderstandings about you…” Sebastian blurted out.
“You don’t have to explain, Sebastian. I understand,” she said with a smile.
“Vicky…”
Sebastian wanted to say more when someone knocked on the door and Nanny Paterson walked in.
“Missus
Hart, it’s time for dinner. You need to take your medicine after this…”
Nanny Paterson froze when she spotted Sebastian in the room. “And this is…”
“My friend,” said Vicky before turning to look at Sebastian. “Sebastian, I’m well taken care of here. You
should head back.”
Despite losing her memories, Vicky remained to be the same person as she was before.
