Vicky tightly grasped the icy iron bars. “Do you know the reason Tyler and I broke up?”

“I heard you lost your memory, and I guess it’s true,” the maid said, standing against the light, her expression

obscured by darkness.

“Ms. Shaw, back then, you were truly too naive and were completely deceived by Missus Hart. You thought she’d

treat Tyler well and love him…but you couldn’t be more wrong.”

She took a few steps back, surveying the cage before her and whispering softly, “Back then, Tyler was locked in a

cage by Missus Hart, just like you are now…” A peculiar smile appeared on her face. “You painfully sacrificed your

love and broke up with him, unaware that you were pushing him into a treacherous abyss and a realm of despair.”

Vicky was shaken. “What are you saying?”

The woman crouched down to meet Vicky’s gaze, her voice slow and gentle. “Mister Tyler suffered a great deal

here… Missus Hart was afraid of leaving any evidence, so she couldn’t resort to obvious means. To torture him, she

devised various cruel methods… First, she had someone lock him in the cage, depriving him of water, food, and

sleep. Every time he was about to fall asleep, she’d turn on the basement lights and shine them on him. But you

see, without water and food, a person will die. Upon someone’s suggestion, Missus Hart came up with other

methods…”

The woman smiled slyly. “Missus Shaw, have you ever heard of the phrase ‘ice and fire’?”

Vicky’s fingers trembled. “What is that?”

“Missus Hart had many blocks of ice brought in. She made Mister Tyler wear minimal clothing and set the air

conditioning to the lowest temperature. When his body reached its limit, she switched to ‘fire’, where she dressed

Mister Tyler in the thickest clothes, lighting up the surrounding fireplaces to blow hot air at him… This repeated

cycle is called ‘ice and fire’.”

Tears welled up in Vicky’s eyes, feeling as though a hand had tightened around her heart.

‘Is that the actions of a mother? No! It’s the act of a demon!’ she thought.

“You don’t need to feel guilty, though,” the maid continued. “You wouldn’t be able to outmaneuver Missus Hart

when it comes to scheming, even now. Old tricks work the best. Women involved in the power struggles of a

prestigious family cannot remain kind-hearted. Leaving Tyler was the right choice for you.” She straightened her

posture. “However, why did you wade into this troubled water again? Ms. Shaw, forgive me for being blunt, but

without the support of a powerful family, you have no significance in the Hart family except for being a burden to

Mister Tyler. Furthermore, you’ve become his weakness. Now that everyone in the Hart family knows of your

existence, focusing their efforts on you would be the quickest and most effective way to bring Mister Tyler down…

You’re just an ordinary person who shouldn’t have gotten involved in the first place.”

Vicky stared at her dazedly. “Who are you? Why are you telling me all this?”

“That doesn’t matter. The important thing is that…” The woman glanced around and lowered her voice. “Someone

asked me to help you.”

Vicky flinched. “Who?”

“That doesn’t matter either. I’m telling you all this because I need you to hang on until someone comes to your

rescue.”

Vicky was reminded of the mysterious man and asked, “The person who’s trying to help me… Have I met him

before?”

The maid nodded. “Do you know why Missus Hart made a scene to humiliate you?”

“She thinks that I caused the differences between her and her son and resents me for that.”

“Be that as it may, that’s not entirely true for today’s circumstances,” the maid said. “There is no surveillance

footage of her slapping you, but Mister Tyler should be able to find out about that soon. The more humiliated you

were, the chances that Missus Hart would come after you again afterward would be slimmer. Do you understand

what I’m saying?”

Vicky stared at her. “Because she’s already vented her anger, is that what you’re implying?”
