Chapter 188

Vicky answered the call and heard a man's voice come from the speaker.

"Is your husband better now?"

It was Mister Kirby.

She paused before walking over to stand in front of the window. "He's awake and mostly fine."

"Have you told your husband that you were kidnapped?"

Silence fell over the two, and tension rose.

"He doesn't believe you...does he?" he whispered.

Vicky narrowed her eyes. "What makes you think that?"

"I looked into the kidnappers' identities and found out that the car avoided all surveillance cameras

except for when you got into the car. Even the car plate is a fake one."

What Mister Kirby found was similar to what Tyler found.

"Your kidnapping lasted far too short, and you weren't injured in any way," he continued. ’There's no

surveillance footage to support your claim either, so it's hard to prove that you were kidnapped.

Besides..." He paused. "Your call resulted in your husband getting shot, so he might not believe you

and might think that you're just looking for an excuse."

Mister Kirby had a brief understanding of what happened from the conversation between Sheila and

Vicky. Though he did not know all the details, he was a sharp man and comprehended enough on his

own.

Vicky was rendered speechless as she watched the sun fade from the sky.

After a few moments of silence, she said, "Thank you for saving me."

He sighed. "If only I knew you'd be put into this position, I wouldn't have saved you."

The glass reflected the expressionless look on Vicky's face as she said," No. You made the right call.

Who knows what would've happened to me if those kidnappers had me at their mercy?"

Even if Tyler knew that she was kidnapped, he was injured and could not possibly come to her rescue,

and she would have suffered at the hands of her kidnappers.

"It's best to have your fate within your control," Vicky continued calmly." People who trust you would

believe in you without you having to prove yourself. People who don't will doubt you, even when you're

fully capable of proving yourself right. Trying to win someone's trust by risking my own life is just too

foolish."

Vicky already knew that Tyler did not believe her when he sent his assistants to investigate the

kidnapping.

She knew that they might look like a loving couple on the outside, but it was all but an act.

Tyler was willing to continue the marriage with her, but he did not love her.

She might have forgotten about the past, but he had not.

Vicky did not mention the past, nor did Tyler, but the distance between them would always exist despite

their effort in ignoring it.

Her relationship with Tyler was like a beautiful yet fragile building that could not be tested by storms.

She did not trust Tyler either.

She knew that Tyler was not in love with Sheila and no longer wanted to be with her. She even knew

why Tyler was doing everything that he did, but she still felt miserable when Tyler was injured because

of Sheila.

Her mind drifted away, but then she heard Mister Kirby chuckling. "I'm surprised that you would think

that. I thought you would try everything in your power to make him believe you."
