Chapter 1697


    Moreover, Tyler’s subsequent ns were even more ruthlessly cunning, essentially aiming to force her


    onto a path of no return.


    Since he hated her so much, Vicky decided to hate him with all her heart as well, which made his


    proposal of remarrying ridiculous.


    She continued, “If it weren’t for this child, you wouldn’t have stopped your n, would you? By the time


    you’re done, we would’ve detested each other, and it might’ve been…”


    Realization dawned on her, and her voice suddenly trailed off as a terrifying thought crossed her mind.


    Suddenly, Tyler’s phone rang. He nced at Vicky and answered the call.


    It seemed to be aplicated matter as the call went on for quite some time.


    Tyler spoke very little, but judging from his asional responses, it seemed to be rted to the Hart


    family.


    Finally, the call concluded with him saying, “I’ll be right there.”


    Ending the call, Tyler looked at Vicky. “I have something to attend to. I need to go out for a while.”


    Vicky did not respond.


    “We’ll discuss the rest when I return,” he added.


    Still, Vicky remained unresponsive.


    Tyler had long grown ustomed to her coldness and called Jade. After a brief exchange, he left.


    Back in her room, Vicky charged her phone. As soon as it turned on, countless messages flooded in.


    She barely replied to one message when a call from Aurora came in.


    “Vicky! Oh thank god, you finally picked up!” Aurora could not contain her excitement. “I was worried


    something happened to you.”


    Even though she had learned from Harvey that Tyler had taken Vicky away, she could not be sure


    whether Tyler would go to extremes again upon hearing that Vicky intended to terminate her


    pregnancy.


    Vicky stood by the window and replied softly, “I’m fine. Don’t worry.”


    “Where are you now? Are you still in Zendonia?”


    “Yeah, I’m still staying in his vi.”

    Aurora hesitated and mumbled, “I knew it. He has so many properties, so why else would he be so


    attached to that particr house? I bet he remembers everything right from the beginning. Maybe he


    was just ying games with you.”


    “Vicky, what does Tyler mean by keeping you locked up? Is he trying to make you have this child?”


    “Yes.”


    Aurora scoffed. “When he wants to deal with you, he shows no mercy. When he wants you to have a


    child, he kidnaps you. He acts like a bandit!”


    Most normal men would at least try tofort and deceive the women they wanted with sweet words


    or fabricate some lies to make the person feel a little better. Tyler, however, resorted to the simplest


    and most ruthless means.


    After all these years, he seemed more restrained, but in reality, he had not changed at all.


    “Vicky, what do you n to do?”


    Vicky remained silent, wrestling with her thoughts.


    As a longtime friend, Aurora naturally sensed the conflict in Vicky’s heart.
