    Chapter 1398


    Vicky trembled slightly but did not look away from Tyler.” Tyler, are you sure you aren’t


    misunderstanding something?”


    He lowered his gaze at her dazedly. Neither of them moved or looked away.


    In the end, Vicky sighed and said, “Tyler, if something’s bothering you, you can talk to me. Don’t just


    bottle it all in. Also, about me and Harvey-“


    Before she could finish, he lowered his head and kissed her.


    “Tyler, wait-mph!”


    Not giving her a chance to speak, he kissed her passionately.


    Tyler was already gone when Vicky woke up the following morning.

    Having just finished her morning routine, she received a call from Isabe.


    “Missus Hart, have you found out what happened with Mister Hart that day?” Isabe seemed eager to


    uncover the events of that day and frequently sought updates.


    “Not yet.” Vicky’s voice carried a tone of exhaustion. “I tried calling Valencia, but she hasn’t been


    answering. I’m nning to visit herter to see if I can get any information from her.”


    Isabe continued, “The events of that day are crucial. We must understand exactly what transpired, or


    even the most advanced treatment n might prove ineffective.”


    “I understand,” Vicky replied softly. “He’s changed a lot ever since he woke me as before, and his


    attitude toward me has grown distant. There seems to be…a barrier between us.”


    “Have you tried talking to him about it?”


    “He refuses tomunicate and even avoids me. Also…on the day Tyler fainted, Missus Hart


    mentioned Harvey’s name. ” Worried that Isabe might feel confused, she added,” Harvey is my ex-


    fiance, but we’re just friends. We don’t share any romantic feelings toward one another. I’ve exined


    that to Tyler in the past. Still, for whatever reason, he started targeting Harvey again… Missus Hart


    insinuated that Harvey and I were colluding or something. She might’ve said something about Harvey


    to Tyler, but I don’t know the specifics.”


    “Mister Hart doesn’t believe in whatever others say. There’s likely more to this situation than meets the


    eye. If you can’t get the truth from Missus Hart, maybe you should ask Harvey if he said anything to


    Mister Hart.”


    “That’s impossible.” Vicky shook her head. “Harvey isn’t the type to spread baseless rumors. He


    wouldn’t say anything to others.”


    “There’s no harm in being cautious. He might not say something directly to Mister Hart, but who’s to


    say he didn’t talk to a friend?”


    Vicky fell silent for a moment. After a few seconds, she finally said, ”1 understand. I’ll look into it.”


    After ending the call, Vicky headed to the Harts’ mansion to find Valencia. However, the servants


    informed her that Valencia had temporarily returned to Molivia due to some urgent matters with no fixed


    return date, clearly indicating she was avoiding Vicky.


    Vicky realized she probably would not get any useful information from Valencia and called Harvey


    instead.


    To her surprise, no one answered no matter how many times she called.


    Upon turning on the news, she came across reports that within only half an hour after the market


    opened that morning, Johnson Corporation’s stock value triggered a circuit breaker.


    It was evident that Johnson Corporation was facing an unprecedented crisis.


    Valencia’s departure, Tyler’s avoidance, and Johnson Corporation’s crisis cast an unprecedented


    shadow over Vicky’s heart.


    Returning to the office, she found that Cece and Jennifer had taken on a short-term project out of town


    for a week. With those two absent, the office seemed unusually vacant.
