Chapter 866


    “Tyler, I agree to leave with you… I like the ocean, so let’s settle down somewhere near the ocean,


    okay?”


    “Can you remove my cuffs? I want to design our home.”


    “How does this design look? Do you want to make any amendments?”


    Vicky put up a great act and appeared to be dreaming of their future together, so Tyler eventually


    started envisioning their lives together as well.


    He had always beenposed and realistic, so he was never one to fantasize about the future.


    He let his guard down and found himself drowning in the idealistic picture she painted for their future,


    only to find out that everything was merely an act.


    She escaped when he went outside and came close to truly getting away.


    He was furious like he never was before, in a way that he had never felt even when he was tortured by


    his mother.


    When Tyler caught her once again, Vicky stared at him with despair in her eyes.


    “Why does it have to be me? Why?”


    Tyler never asked why things were the way they were and had not considered what prompted him to be


    so obsessive over Vicky, so he was stunned by the question.


    ‘Why, indeed?’ He thought at the time. ‘Why does it have to be her? Is it because of love? But love is


    fickle and cheap. She once imed to love me, yet when she left me, she showed no trace of


    reluctance.’


    Tyler never proimed his love for Vicky, but he never thought of parting ways with her.


    At that time, he pondered for a long time about his obsession but could not make sense of it until he


    overheard a certain passage somewhere after a considerable time had passed. ‘She was the only light


    in the darkness, providing warmth, dispelling the shadows, and introducing him to many things he had


    never experienced before. However, that flickering light eventually extinguished and vanished into the


    boundless darkness.’


    Knock, knock, knock!


    Just then, the sound of knocking woke him up. The person outside seemed to be in a rush and barged


    in without waiting for him to respond.


    “Mister Hart, I’ve re-watched all the surveince videos… Since Missus Hart left the estate, she hasn’t


    appeared again. I’m not sure if she managed to avoid the surveince cameras, or…” Harry’s face also


    showed signs of exhaustion. He had been working tirelessly, foregoing proper rest.


    The terrifying thought that something bad might have happened to Vicky prevented Harry from finishing


    the sentence, and the look in Tyler’s eyes darkened.


    He remained silent for a while, absentmindedly tapping the table with his slender fingers, producing a


    dull sound.


    After some time, he suddenly stood up. “Gather a team ande with me to the Harts’ mansion.”


    Harry was taken aback. “We’ve already searched therest time, and Missus Hart wasn’t there…”

    “That was then.” Tyler’s eyes were as cold as an abyss. “If she was transported elsewhere, there’s no


    reason why we couldn’t find any trace of her.”


    “Could it be that your parents lied, then?” Harry asked.


    That mysterious person who helped Vickyst time, no matter how powerful they were, could not


    secretly transport someone away without anyone in Zendonia noticing.


    A faint, chilling smile appeared on Tyler’s lips. “That’s the only possibility.”
