    ‘Tyler''s right. What am I trying to convey? Whether it was consensual or not, the deed has been done.


    If I truly found it uneptable, I can just report it to the authorities. Why go through the trouble of


    exining myself to someone who could be considered a perpetrator?’ she thought. ‘Do I still harbor


    some unrealistic fantasy about him?’


    At that moment, the abrupt ringing of a phone shattered the silence.


    Tyler picked up the phone and nced at it. His gaze deepened before he answered. "Avery."


    Hearing Avery''s name, Vicky''s blood ran cold.


    “Tyler, what were you doingst night? Why didn''t you answer my calls?" came Avery''s sweet, teasing


    voice from the other end of the phone.


    "I was at a banquetst night and had a bit too much to drink." Tyler''s voice remained slow and


    melodious.


    "You scared me. I thought something happened to you."


    "I''m fine. There''s no need to worry.”


    “Tyler, I''ve booked a flight for this afternoon. I''ll be in Stoneford City tomorrow to be with you.” Avery


    asked hesitantly, “You won''t be mad at me for doing that, will you?”


    Over the years, Tyler had gone on business trips frequently, and Avery mentioned apanying him


    before, only to be turned down.


    Afraid of angering him, she usually did not insist. Still, a business trip to Stoneford City or Zendonia


    was different.


    Over the years, Tyler had traveled to numerous countries, yet he never came to Zendonia. She knew


    that Old Mister


    Hart did not want Tyler to return to this particr country, so he never arranged for him to travel here


    on business.


    Since Tyler had taken control of the Hart family empire, it was only normal for him to return to Stoneford


    City to check on Hart Corporation.


    He might not even run into Vicky. Even if he did, judging from Vicky''s behavior thest time, it seemed


    she had no intention of acknowledging Tyler. Still, Avery felt inexplicably worried, and she could not


    bear the thought of Tyler being alone in such a ce.

    "Why would I be?" Tyler''s tone was chilly but gentler inparison when speaking to Vicky. "What time


    is your flight? I''ll pick you up at the airport.”


    Avery had thought Tyler would refuse, so she was pleasantly surprised he had agreed right away.


    "Tomorrow, nine in the morning.”


    “Sure,” Tyler said. “I''ll go pick you up.”


    After hanging up, he turned to look at Vicky, who sat on the bed dazedly. "Well? What will it take?"


    "What?" She looked at him with confusion.


    “After all that you''ve said, you are trying to get something out of it, right?” He crossed his legs and


    continued, "Since you satisfied me, I can agree to grant you one wish.”


    “I don''t need it." She got out of bed with a vacant expression and headed for the bathroom.


    Tyler did not press on.


    By the time she exited the bathroom, Tyler was already dressed, and there was a set of female clothing


    on the bed. It was evident that he had called someone to send her new clothes while she showered.


    Vicky did not refuse it and changed into the clothes before turning to leave.


    Suddenly, Tyler called out to her. “Hang on.”
