Chapter 818
"Just come with me first. I'll figure something out," replied Tyler as he reached for her hand once again.
Vicky backed away with a cold expression. "Do you really not get it? I purposefully let you kidnap me so that you'll
get caught, losing any chance to get back up on your feet."
The look in his eyes darkened, and he muttered, "I don’t believe you."
"So what if you don't believe it to be true? It's a fact. How else can you explain why your perfect plan was exposed,
including your location? There can't be that many coincidences."
Tyler was a cautious man who would never make such careless mistakes, so Vicky was the only suspect for causing
the failure.

"I do." Vicky did not give him the chance to speak and continued, "I didn't know how to get rid of you and someone
happened to come to me, saying that they could help with that and would even pay me for it..." She looked up and
met his gaze. "I'm born into a wealthy family, but the offer they made me was simply irresistible, even to me. Tyler,
what reason do I have to turn that down?"
His expression darkened. "Who came to you?"
"Does that matter?" she retorted.
"Did they force you to leave me? Is that why you broke up with me?"
She interrupted him. "Tyler, do you remember that you once said if people refuse to betray one another, it's
because they aren't compensated enough for it? Everyone has a price, and no one can remain unwavering in front
of temptation. I'm not a saint; I'm just like anyone else. Why should I leave simply because they asked me to? Why
would I obey them? Even if they were forcing me to do this, why wouldn't I tell you about it?
"Do I look like someone who'd get bullied without saying a thing? To tell you the truth, they came to me after I broke
up with you. Technically speaking, we weren't together anymore. I only showed you kindness after that because I
wanted to gain more from you one last time before leaving. Tyler, I don't know what secrets you are hiding, nor am
I interested in finding out. I agreed to cooperate with their plan to avoid getting bothered by you..."
Vicky landed her gaze behind Tyler, and her tone hardened." From now on, you won't ever get to bother me again."
She then raised her voice and shouted, "Mister Hawthorne! Tyler ran out of ammunition, so you can take him away
now."
An elegant-looking man strode out from a shadow with a faint smile on his face. "Thank you for your hard work,
Miss Shaw."
Vicky stared at Magnus. "Mister Hawthorne, you promised

"Since you held your end of the bargain, anything we promised you will stand," Magnus said. He pulled out his
phone and made a phone call. "Transfer a hundred fifty million dollars into Miss Shaw's account now."
Though Vicky was born into a wealthy family, 150 million dollars was considered a big fortune that could sustain her
for the rest of her life.
"My phone isn't with me, so I can't check. Can you show me the transaction proof?" Vicky asked.
"Of course." Magnus gladly showed Vicky the proof of the transaction.
The screen of his phone shone brightly in the darkness.
Tyler made countless transactions to Vicky's account when they first met, so he remembered her account number
by heart.
