At the hospital.
The doctor checked on Vicky and confirmed she was not hurt, but Harvey did not seem to believe it.
"Doctor, the back of her hand is kind of red. Are you sure she's okay?"
"Sir, your wife is fine. The redness will fade after a while," the doctor said with resignation.
Vicky frowned at how the doctor called her Harvey's 'wife' and immediately wanted to correct the
doctor, but she felt like dignifying it with a denial was beneath her.
Once Harvey confirmed that Vicky was unharmed, he let the doctor be and turned to look at Vicky.
"Where are you going? I can give you a lift."
"I'm going home to rest," she said. "I won't take any more of your time. Mister Sparks."
Harvey was a sharp man and knew that this was Vicky's way of reminding him that it would be
inappropriate for him to send her back to her house.

Vicky did not refuse.

Once she was home, she collapsed on the couch and massaged her temples.
Harvey's words had shaken her, but she did not pay much mind to it.
She already decided to forget about the past and start her life anew with Tyler, so there was no point to
cling to what happened before.
She relied on Tyler far too much to leave her and she did not know how to tell him that she was being
threatened.
Ring!
Her phone started ringing.
She grabbed her phone to look at the display and took a deep breath before answering.
"Are you trying to get me to come over to your place by not replying to my message?" the devilish voice
came through the other end of the line.
She stayed quiet for a few moments before saying, "I forgot to reply."
Determination relied highly on heightened emotions, and once those emotions had been vented, one
might not be able to be as determined as they once were. She was far too weak to be a match for the
man.
Sensing the change in her attitude, he asked, "Are you coming to meet me, or should I come over?"
She clenched her fists. "I'll come.’
"Very well."
The man did not mention if she needed to trade his silence for the confidential information of Hart
Corporation or her body.
After ending the call, she remained seated on the couch for a while longer before getting up to head
inside Tyler's study.

At night, Vicky arrived at the hotel on time. She dared not to be late out of fear that the man would
appear in her house once again.
The man sat elegantly on the couch and his slender figure loomed in the darkness.
She could not contain her panic just from stepping into the room, and fear took over her when she saw
the masked man.
The man glanced at her as she stood outside the door. "Here you are."
"Yeah." Vicky moved closer to the man at a slow pace, but it was an enclosed space and she
eventually reached the man.
She did not dare to look at the mask on his face or his eyes, so she lowered her gaze and handed the
USB in her hand to him. "I copied some of the contracts from his laptop."
He reached out for the USD with his slim, long fingers and said, "Let me check."
Vicky stood still and waited as she did before.
She tensed once the man went into the bedroom and started sweating nervously.
Deceiving the man was extremely risky.
