Chapter 1085


    Chapter 1085


    Vicky chuckled lightly, her gaze icy and condescending.” After Cece and Jennifer left Zendonia, you


    realized there was nothing left to threaten me with, so you joined forces with the Harrisons to put up a


    whole act to toy with my feelings. They won me over, and you proceeded to use the Harrisons to


    manipte and control me…”


    Tyler’s gaze flickered, and he fell silent. Vicky knew she was right. She had no weakness left, but he


    could create one for her. If it were not for the security guard assuming she waste that day and letting


    her in without informing anyone, no one knew how much longer she would have been deceived.


    The guilt she felt for being involved with the Harrisons seemedughable at this point, especially after


    she went to the lengths to agree to Tyler’s demands for the sake of the Harrisons.


    Had she remained in the dark, Tyler would continue to use the Harrisons to pressure her, forcing her to


    comply with unreasonable requests.


    “Tyler, your world consists of nothing but pretense.”


    Tyler looked at Vicky’s pale, indifferent face and spoke in a low, hoarse voice, “You say my world is


    filled with pretense, but is your world filled with sincerity? You treated the Harrisons with sincerity, but


    they didn’t hesitate to sell you fortheir interests… All feelings and bonds mean nothing in the face of


    personal gain. Vicky, you and I…we’re not that


    different.”


    “I’m not like you,” Vicky coldly replied. “At least I have friends who sincerely care for me, but what about


    you? Who do you have? Tyler, you’re a man who knows no sincerity, so no one will ever show it to you


    either!”


    As soon as her words fell, the air froze instantly.


    Vicky suddenly realized that her words had gone too far and regretted attacking him with this matter, no


    matter how angry she was.


    “I know no sincerity?” Tylerughed, but the look in his eyes held a chilling coldness. “Vicky, you


    stepped all over my sincerity, and you now use me ofcking it?”


    Vicky’s expression stiffened. She turned her face away and spoke with a tense voice, “Tyler, those


    things are all in the past. What’s the point of constantly bringing up the past or digging up old grudges?”


    “The past?” Tyler extended his slender, icy-cold fingers, gripping her chin and forcing her to meet his


    gaze. With a strange smile, he said, “It’ll never be just the past.”


    Vicky trembled slightly. “Tyler, by doing this, you’re not torturing me; you’re torturing yourself instead.


    Don’t you realize that?”


    She knew he had always harbored resentment forthat past. During their years of marriage, he had


    been cold and distant toward her. Even after she lost her memory, he treated her with a mix of warmth


    and indifference, leaving her in constant doubt.


    She thought that all of this was his carefully nned revenge, only to realize afterward that he had


    never been able to move on from that past.


    Slowly, she said, My presence is the reason that you constantly recall that terrible past… Tyler, you


    should try to let go. Let go of me and the past. Perhaps you’ll find a lighter burden to carry.”


    “I tried,” he said abruptly and lowered his head to whisper into her ear, “but I can’t do it. I can’t stand


    seeing you with someone else.”


    ‘He tried?’ Vicky thought with a scowl and asked, “Is this divorce what you call trying?”


    “Yes.”


    Remorse instantly filled her heart as Tyler might not have been provoked if she did not show up with


    Lincoln.


    As though he could hear her thoughts, Tyler muttered, “It didn’t matter. Even if you didn’t show up with


    Lincoln, I still wouldn’t have let you go. Since I can’t shake the past, you are not allowed to start a new


    life either.”


    “What exactly do you want, then, Tyler?” Vicky asked.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.
