"But... Weren't you both doing well recently? Why did he suddenly want a divorce?" The look in Vicky's eyes dimmed. "He... It was all for revenge." Though it was a simple sentence, Noah, who knew Vicky's past, immediately understood. 'Revenge huh...' He thought. It sounded fantastical, unbelievable, and even a bit childish, but considering Tyler's character, Noah had no doubt that Tyler was capable of such actions.
