Chapter 22
Just then, the door to Vicky’s room was knocked on again, and a slender figure stepped through the door
shortly after.
“Vicky, you haven’t eaten, right? I brought you some soup…”
Sebastian froze when he saw Sheila and Tyler inside the room.
“Why are you here?” asked Sebastian, before thinking back to spotting Sasha outside the door. “Are you
here to confront Vicky?” He sneered at Tyler. “Tyler Hart, even if you don’t love Vicky, you don’t have to
team up. with outsiders to bully your wife, do you? Can’t you see that she’s sick in bed right now?”
“So you do know that she’s my wife,” remarked Tyler pointedly as he glanced at the thermal flask in
Sebastian’s hands. “Mister Mills, I can’t imagine that it’s appropriate for you to treat a married woman
with
such care.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSebastian glanced at Sheila in her wheelchair and lifted an eyebrow. “But it’s okay for a married man like
yourself to care for another woman, huh? Tyler Hart, enough with the double standards. Everyone knows
that Vicky and I grew up together. We’ve always been good friends and nothing else. You two, on the
other hand… Well, you two are hardly just friends, are you?”
Tyler’s expression darkened.
“Mister Mills, you’ve misunderstood. We’re not like that. Tyler and I are friends, and we’ve never stepped
out of the line… We’re only here to ask about what happened last night,” Sheila said frantically.
Sebastian stopped her. “The two of you decided to ignore the actual person who attempted murder and
came confronting the victim?” He shot them a sarcastic look. “Is that what they say about blaming the
victim?”
Sheila smiled and explained, “But Sasha said that she didn’t push Miss Shaw into the pool. Miss Shaw
jumped in on her own.”
“Jumped in on her own?” he repeated. “Are you saying that Vicky jumped into freezing water for fun in
this weather?”
“I can understand that you’re worried about her, Mister Mills, but you probably don’t understand what
happened last night,” Sheila said gently. “I was in a conflict with someone else, and an accident
happened. Tyler rushed over to find me, but Miss Shaw kept standing in his way… I asked the other
guests at the party, and they said that Miss Shaw was found in the pool shortly after Tyler left.”
Sebastian immediately understood what Sheila was hinting at. “Are you saying that she jumped in there
to get her husband’s attention?”
Thud!
The door was pushed open and Sasha, who had been eavesdropping the entire time, rushed into the
room.
“Vicky jumped into the pool of her own volition! She’s a vicious woman, and since she now realizes that
she can’t get Tyler on her side by jumping in there, she’s trying to blame me for it! She just smacked me
with a glass cup and tried to kill me!” She raised her voice sharply, overpowering all other sounds inside
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe room. She pointed at Vicky angrily. “She admitted to doing it just now. Stop defending this murderer!”
Sebastian glanced at Sasha in contempt before turning to look at Vicky. “Vicky, what’s going on?”
Vicky had decided not to waste any effort in defending herself from anyone, but Sebastian was the only
one who trusted her, and she did not want to betray his trust. “They…” She muttered in a hoarse voice.
Before she could continue, Sasha shouted, “What else? She admitted to it herself! Stop making excuses
for this woman. She is a vicious b*tch with an evil mind
“Miss Young.” Sebastian glared at Sasha coldly. “Did your parents not teach you not to interrupt others
when they’re speaking?!”
Sebastian was an elite from a powerful family who had a natural air of majesty about him. One look from
him and Sasha immediately quieted down.
He turned his attention back to Vicky, his face easing back into a gentle expression. “Go on, Vicky.”
Vicky repeated what she said before.
“Sasha pushed me into the pool. The water was so cold that I had muscle cramps, but she just stayed up
there to film me as I drowned… Someone else found me and helped me out of the pool afterward.”
Sheila frowned. “Miss Shaw, this isn’t what you said just now…”
