[I've signed the divorce papers, and they'll be sent to you tomorrow.]The text message on Vicky Shaw's phone screen stunned her to the core. Her eyelids fluttered under the dim, flickering light of the candle.She looked up at the candlelight dinner on the table; the food was already cold.Situated in the middle of the dining table was a birthday cake with two unlit candles.This day was, in fact, her twenty-third birthday. Instead of celebrating her birthday with her, her husband gave this 'special' birthday present to her.Ding, ding!The latest news headline popped out of her phone.[Breaking news! Sheila Young, the Best Actress winner, was seen having dinner with the CEO of Hart Corporation, Tyler Hart. Are they about to rekindle their old romance?]The headline, needless to say, left her stupefied, but she somehow still opened the news.A photo of two people having dinner was revealed. The image showed a gracious, beautiful woman sitting across from a handsome, well-groo

What he did scared the life out of Vicky as her pupils shrunk."Tyler Hart! What are you doing?"Tyler's handsome face wore an ambiguous smile. "What am I doing, you say? Why are you asking when you know what I want to do?"Vicky felt tongue-tied. Indeed, it was suspicious to ask such a question at the moment. She placed her hand against his firm chest as she stared at him cautiously.This was never the reaction she expected from Tyler, and she had to admit that she was a little flustered."What are you going to do to a woman who you hate and is about to be your ex-wife?"His thin, alluring lips curled into a playful smile, yet his eyes looked cold."Don't tell me… you think you're still a virgin?" he asked. Two of them stood close to each other, so close that they could see each other's eyelashes and feel each other's breaths. Above them, a crystal chandelier sparkled with dazzling brilliance, revealing the expressions on their faces.Tyler looked down at her, his eyes fi

The hallway was quiet and vacant. Vicky was walking ahead with Tyler in her wake.The floor was covered with carpet, so there was no sound even when Vicky's heels clicked against the floor. Nonetheless, her brow was scrunched tightly, and she looked uneasy.As the tall man followed behind her, she could not ignore his eyes on her, and this stressed her beyond relief.She abruptly stopped and turned toward him, coincidentally looking into his dark eyes.She raised her eyebrows. "Mr. Hart, do you enjoy what you see?"Tyler was not embarrassed about being caught staring at Vicky red-handed. His gaze did not shift to another place or wavered out of shyness; his eyes were as haughty as before and calm as always.Majestic and elegant, as he was born with.He uttered. "Ugly."Vicky found it so annoying that she was amused. "Then, why are you staring at me like you have never seen a woman before?"Many of the party's attendees looked at her with various emotions: contempt, malice, and

The panic and fluster on Sasha’s face vanished at that moment.The wealthy-looking young man Cece had injured was the only son of Larson Corporation, Hector Larson. The Larson family had only one son for generations, and Hector was born when his parents were in their autumn years, so they spoiled him terribly.Usually, Hector was so unruly and caused trouble everywhere he went. Since the Larson family was wealthy and powerful, they settled every trouble their darling son caused by hook or by crook.Over time, however, Hector became absolutely lawless. As a lustful person, he could not say no to any pretty woman.Sasha, on the other hand, held a grudge against Vicky after being ridiculed by her. Vicky was still Tyler's wife, and it was Senior Hart's birthday party today. Sasha knew it was not the time for her to take it out on Vicky.Nonetheless, she wanted to have Vicky suffer for the humiliation she felt, and this was why she took it out on Cece instead.Her initial plan was to

The dial tone sounded, but no one picked up the phone.Five minutes later, Vicky tried calling Tyler once more. This time, the sound of a disconnected tone is heard.Thinking he was busy with work, she decided to call him later.After half an hour, she tried again, but the result was the same. Tyler rejected her call without any hesitation. It was then Vicky realized Tyler purposely refused to answer her calls.Taking a deep breath, she flagged down a taxi and decided to go to Hart Corporation to look for him. Frankly, she did not truly want to ask Tyler for help. Nonetheless, she could not just leave Cece in the lurch as Cece was the only person who was nice to her after she woke up from the car crash.From Cece, she knew she used to be a notable young lady. After all, the Shaw family used to be a reputable family three years ago, but somehow, her family collapsed in just one night.Vicky tried to investigate the reason from her diary and published news but turned up with noth
