Chapter 890
All the people looked at both Vicky and Tyler with an indescribably unsettling gaze.
In the past, Vicky had accompanied Valencia to numerous social gatherings, encountering various types of people
and incidents. At that time, she was young and incapable of rivaling Valencia's level of cunning.
She eagerly sought Valencia's approval and endured many unfair treatments as a result. Unfortunately, Vicky had
no choice but to swallow her pride and accept the abuse as she was facing Tyler's relatives.
Vicky could not help but feel somewhat uneasy when she saw all the familiar faces again.
Valencia had traumatized her, and in moments like these, she found herself yearning for the days when she was
oblivious to the past without her memories.
Tyler seemed to sense her unease. He gently held her hand and spoke in a soothing tone. "No need to be nervous.
I'm here."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtVicky calmed down at the sound of his voice and smiled at him. "Alright."
Then, a chilly voice cut through the crowd.
"Indeed, an uneducated barbarian can never rise to our ranks. Even young children nowadays know not to be late.
As an educated adult, how could you be so late, making everyone wait for you two? This is ridiculous."
The voice was familiar, and Vicky's eyebrows twitched as she followed its direction.
The woman's name was Isabella, the eldest daughter of the prestigious Hart family. Her relationship with the
bloodline led by Orion had never been peaceful.
There were conflicts of interest between the bloodline she was in and the one led by Orion, and she considered
anyone on Orion's side her enemy.
She was one of the strongest opponents against Tyler's return to the family. Valencia and Orion held a certain
extent of power in the family, so Isabella dared not to speak ill of them at that time. However, when it came to Tyler
and Vicky, she did not care about maintaining civility of any sort.
Over the years, Tyler rarely came home, and Isabella had only seen him a few times, so she knew nothing of his
temperament. Deep down, she never held Tyler in high regard and only felt even more contempt for Vicky.
Several years ago, Valencia brought Vicky to attend a few high-society events, and Isabella had taken every
opportunity to bully Vicky.
Taking advantage of her status, Isabella had even once poured a drink over Vicky's head, making her look
disheveled and pathetic in front of everyone.
In the midst of it all, Valencia watched silently, not uttering a single word in Vicky's defense, and because of that,
Isabella
took her silence as approval to continue.
From that moment onward, she joined forces with her group of girlfriends, finding pleasure in tormenting Vicky and
causing her a great deal of suffering.
The most outrageous incident nearly resulted in Vicky's death.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt the time, Isabella thought that Vicky would never dare to fight back, but to her surprise, Vicky slapped her
several times and even grabbed her by the hair before trying to drown her in a water basin. Had Isabella's friends
not called security in time, Vicky would have drowned Isabella to death.
The feud between Vicky and Isabella solidified after that event.
Valencia soon realized how unpredictable Vicky could be and was afraid that Vicky might actually do something
harmful to her, so she stopped bringing her to social gatherings altogether.
Tension rose as the two women who considered each other enemies met once again.
Vicky's gaze turned cold as she saw Isabella, but she refrained from confronting Isabella directly under the current
circumstances, so she simply turned her head indifferently as if she had not heard anything.
Tyler had only encountered Isabella a few times, and she had made snide remarks and sarcastic comments
towards him every time they met, so he could not be bothered to pay attention to such a simple-minded woman.
He did not even deign to look at her, let alone try to explain himself to her.
He held Vicky's hand and casually addressed Old Mister Hart, "Apologies, something unexpected came up at the
company."
