Chapter 879
The relationship between Aria and Tyler was not that close and yet not that distant either. In fact, it was just right.
Vicky would not have even been able to feel Aria's malice if it was not for the fact that she stepped on her
deliberately that day.
After they had finished ordering, Aria and Tyler struck up a conversation. They did not reminisce about the old days
but instead talked about matters relating to work. From their conversations, Vicky learned that Aria had come to
Stoneford City to discuss a potential collaboration with Hart Corporation.
Working together was the best way to get closer to one another.
Tyler did not say much, and their conversation soon came to a standstill. It was then Aria turned her attention to
Vicky.
"I heard that you're a fashion designer, Ms. Shaw."
Vicky nodded and replied in the affirmative.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAria looked at her. "Then it shouldn't be a problem for you if I want you to design some clothes for me, right?"
"Sure." Vicky took out her business card from her purse and passed it to Aria. "You can contact me anytime, Miss
Everly."
"Thank you in advance," said Aria with a smile as she accepted Vicky's business card.
Not long after, the waiter brought out the food they had ordered. The three ate their lunch in silence, and Vicky did
not purposely put on a show of affection with Tyler. She did not put food on his plate or fed him.
Tyler's expression and attitude were as calm as usual, therefore making the whole lunch seemed eerily normal.
After lunch, Vicky went to the bathroom.
She was standing in front of the sink washing her hands when, from the mirror, she saw a graceful and slim figure
approaching her.
Soon, she stood in front of the sink that was next to Vicky's. Turning on the tap and washing her hand, she
nonchalantly said, "I've always wondered if there’s a limit to how shameless a person can be, but now that I've met
you, Ms. Shaw, it seems like my question has been answered."
"So you've finally decided to drop the act huh, Miss Everly," said Vicky indifferently.
"Drop the act?" Aria scoffed. "As if I can ever put up an act as good as yours. Did you really think that you can erase
all the hurt you've caused Tyler just because you faked your memory loss? Vicky Shaw, if I were you, I'd never be
able to face Tyler again, let alone marry him!"
Then, she turned around to look at Vicky with a puzzled expression on her face. "How can you live with yourself
knowing that the only reason you married him is to hurt him even more?"
Vicky furrowed her eyebrows. "I have no idea what you're talking about."
Aria straightened up her body and looked right into Vicky's eyes.
"Vicky, you were the one who poisoned Tyler, right? Did you know he nearly died that time? In fact, he would've
been dead if my family-who have been generations of medical practitioners-didn't happen to have a precious and
rare antidote."
Aria's eyes were filled with sarcasm as she added, "Oh, I forgot. You wouldn't know about this since you've 'lost'
your memory."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmVicky looked at her. "Are you sure that I was the one who poisoned him?"
"You were the only one with him that week, so who else could it be other than you? Besides, you even admitted to it
at that time."
"Well, did you see it with your own eyes?"
"I didn't know Tyler at that time, so how could I possibly be there to witness it? However, there were many others at
the crime scene. The walls have ears, Vicky. If you don't believe it, just ask Tyler yourself. After all, he'll never lie to
you, right? IV
'Ask Tyler myself?' thought Vicky. 'He'd never bring up something from the past... Those things had become a sort
of forbidden thing to talk about.'
Aria pulled out a tissue. "To be honest, I might not even be here talking to you like this if Tyler had married someone
else. But to me, it doesn't matter if his wife is you or someone else because the two of you are destined to be apart
from one another."
Her eyes flashed with an emotion too fast to capture. "Vicky Shaw, you two are destined to never last ever since
you got him involved with the Hart family. The reason why he married you wasn't because he could not bear to be
apart from you but because of other reasons. Oh, by the way, do you know why the Hart family has never come
over until now?"
