Chapter 865


    “Yeah.” The maid nodded. “Mister Tyler searched the entire mansion and didn’t find you anywhere, so


    his attention will be drawn elsewhere.”


    “Do Mister and Missus Hart n on killing me?”


    “They want to but are both hesitant about it. Right now, they don’t want to worsen their conflicts with


    Mister Tyler. If they kill you and Mister Tyler finds out, he might not stop at severing all ties with the Hart


    Family… Who knows what cruelty he’ll be capable of?”


    Vicky frowned and wanted to argue but decided against it in the end.


    “I can’t stay here for too long. If Missus Hart finds out that I’m a spy, I can only imagine what’ll happen


    to me,” the maid continued. “She doesn’t want Mister Tyler to find out about any of this, so no one is


    allowed to get out of the mansion. Allmunication devices have been confiscated, so I can’t seek


    help from the outside world for you.”


    She nced at her watch and sped up her speech. “The most dangerous ce is often the safest as


    well. You’ve been transported back to the mansion, and it’s all up to the odds whether Mister Tyler can


    find you in time. Ms. Shaw, hang in there.”


    For three whole days, Vicky was confined in the dark basement.


    Orion and Valencia had onlye once and, upon hearing from the servant that a surveince drone


    had been discovered around the premise, they did not stay a moment longer and hurriedly left.


    Since then, no one had set foot in the basement again.


    The light in the basement had long since gone out, leaving the surroundings devoid of any glimmer.


    Enveloped inplete silence, she lost all sense of time.


    In a daze, she pondered if Tyler, just like her, had felt despair and helplessness back then.


    She arrogantly believed that she had done the right thing when in truth, she was the one who pushed


    him into the abyss.


    She was the true culprit, after all.


    The maid hade once and given Vicky some water and food, hoping it would sustain her for a while.


    However, she could not visit Vicky frequently or bring too much for fear of arousing Valencia’s


    suspicion.


    Vicky dared not eat too much at once, telling herself that she must hold on until Tyler rescued her.


    She was determined that she would apologize to him when they reunited once again.


    What he had done to her back then did not evene close to what he had endured, and the most


    terrifying part of all the horror was that the people who had inflicted the most harm on him were his


    parents and Vicky herself.


    Lost in these thoughts, Vicky’s consciousness gradually grew hazy…


    For the past three days, Tyler had been unable to find any trace of Vicky’s whereabouts.

    There were moments when he even absurdly entertained the thought that Vicky had eloped with


    another man. After all, the mysterious man who had been secretly helping Vicky had remained elusive.


    With the mysterious man’s abilities, it would not be too difficult to spirit Vicky away without him noticing.


    Tyler had barely rested and he found himself leaning back in his office chair, unknowingly drifting off to


    sleep.


    In his dreams, he relived events from long, long ago.
