    Chapter 1153


    The look in Tyler’s eyes darkened as he tensed. “Why? Are you worried that I might hurt them?”


    Vicky shot him a look. “You know about the story between Jennifer and Anthony. Now that Anthony has


    her back, he won’t let her go that easily.”


    Realization dawned on Tyler, and his expression eased. “I misunderstood.”


    Vicky was not offended and pushed him away gently. “You promised that you’ll take me on a trip once


    we leave the Harts’ mansion… Shouldn’t you get more work done now so that you can free up some


    time to travel?”


    Tyler had indeed promised her such a thing and intended to fulfill it.


    “Sure.” He lowered his head to kiss her. After a while, he reluctantly let go of her and left.


    After Tyler left, Vicky turned her head and looked at the mirror not far away.


    Her face appeared hideous and terrifying, so repulsive that it could give a person nightmares, yet Tyler


    seemed oblivious to it and wasfortable with kissing her.


    Vicky reached out and gently touched her own cheek, chuckling softly.


    Vicky and Tyler’s return meant she had regained her freedom and could go outside whenever she


    wanted.


    This was what Tyler promised her. However, it had been a week, and Vicky had not even stepped out


    of the door.


    Even Tyler, who possessed a strong desire for control and possession over her, could not help but


    inquire as they sat face-to-face in the dining room at the moment. “Vicky, don’t you want to go out for a


    stroll?”


    “I still have a few design drafts that aren’t finished, and…” Vicky picked up her ss of water and took


    a sip. “I shouldn’t go out looking like this. I might scare people.”


    Noticing Vicky’s disappointment, Tyler gently held her hand.


    Although he did not care about her physical appearance, he could tell that she did.


    Despite her efforts to conceal it, her reduced frequency of looking in the mirror and the way she often


    lowered her head or turned her face away when speaking to him revealed just how upset she was. i


    Vicky’s beauty had always been unquestionable, or she would not have attracted so many men that


    always tried to win her over.


    Due to the change in her appearance, no man wouldpete for her attention. On top of that, because


    of the way she looked, she preferred to stay at home and not venture outside, which was what Tyler


    wanted all along.


    After finishing dinner, Vicky went to the study, iming that she had unfinished design drafts to work


    on.


    Just as she turned on herputer, her phone rang. She nced at the screen and answered the call.


    “Vicky?” Jennifer’s cautious voice rose from the other end of the line.


    “Did you find anything?” Vicky asked.Content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Jennifer let out a sigh of relief and spoke softly, “Anthony has helped us look into the matter, and we did


    discover that someone bought that type of toxin from the ck market recently. And the buyer of that


    toxin was…” She hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to reveal the truth. “Tyler.”
