Chapter 990
The afternoon sunlight shone into the office, lighting the entire room.
Still, the temperature inside remained freezing cold.
"On the first day Ms. Shaw was arrested, she met with Cece and Jennifer, and nobody else. Yesterday, Anthony
found his way to meet with Ms. Shaw in secret in the afternoon and..." Harry bowed his head, not daring to
continue.
Tyler leaned back elegantly on his chair, his lips curling into a cold smirk." Did Anthony take Cece and Jennifer away
with him?" "Y-yes."
Tyler remained quiet for a while.

she will last," Tyler said coldly.
Harry knew what Tyler meant - he wanted to keep Vicky locked up but Harry did not have the courage to confirm it
otherwise. "Yes, sir."
Vicky had been imprisoned once before, so entering prison again did not make her feel too out of place.
Anthony had already taken Jennifer and Cece away, and from now on, Tyler will no longer be able to use them to
threaten her.
She would never allow herself to become a mistress or a pet under Tyler's control.
The problem at hand was not actually difficult to solve, but Vicky would rather be locked up than beg Tyler for help.
She refused to be manipulated by him time and time again.
She knew that seeking Tyler's help would come at a cost and she would never allow herself to sink to the level of a
homewrecker or a lover. Now that Jennifer and Cece were gone, she wanted to see what else Tyler could do to
force her into submission.
The stand-off between Vicky and Tyler was the hardest on people like Harry.
With each passing day of the routine reports to Tyler, Harry could clearly sense Tyler’s mood slowly darkening.
The chilling aura slowly grew colder and colder, and Harry began to feel chills whenever he spoke in that room.
A week later, Harry received a phone call.
"Mister Gardner, something's wrong with Ms. Shaw... She fainted..."
Harry was startled. "She fainted? What happened?"
Although Vicky was locked up, Tyler had not ordered anyone to torment her.

She was getting her meals regularly and there seemed to be no reason for her to get ill.
"Last night, Ms. Shaw developed a high fever... We called a doctor to treat her overnight, but her condition didn't
improve. Instead, it got worse..."
Harry dared not to delay and quickly reported the news to Tyler.
Tyler's purpose for locking Vicky up was never to torture her, but merely to force her into complying and that was
all. Somehow, Vicky fell ill before the purpose could be achieved.
The strong smell of disinfectant permeated the air in the hospital.
Vicky's eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes.
Before her eyes, everything was white and she thought, 'Did they bring me to the hospital?' "Awake?" A deep and
cold voice sounded in the quiet air.
Vicky's gaze flickered, and she turned her head towards the sound.
A handsome and stoic man stood silently by her bedside, his pitch-black eyes were soulless, making it hard to
discern his emotions.
Her voice was hoarse and indifferent, "Mister Hart, is there something you want?"
