Chapter 1085
Vicky chuckled lightly, her gaze icy and condescending." After Cece and Jennifer left Zendonia, you realized there
was nothing left to threaten me with, so you joined forces with the Harrisons to put up a whole act to toy with my
feelings. They won me over, and you proceeded to use the Harrisons to manipulate and control me..."
Tyler's gaze flickered, and he fell silent. Vicky knew she was right. She had no weakness left, but he could create
one for her. If it were not for the security guard assuming she was late that day and letting her in without informing
anyone, no one knew how much longer she would have been deceived.
The guilt she felt for being involved with the Harrisons seemed laughable at this point, especially after she went to
the lengths to agree to Tyler's demands for the sake of the Harrisons.
Had she remained in the dark, Tyler would continue to use the Harrisons to pressure her, forcing her to comply with

"Tyler, your world consists of nothing but pretense."
Tyler looked at Vicky’s pale, indifferent face and spoke in a low, hoarse voice, "You say my world is filled with
pretense, but is your world filled with sincerity? You treated the Harrisons with sincerity, but they didn't hesitate to
sell you fortheir interests... All feelings and bonds mean nothing in the face of personal gain. Vicky, you and I...we're
not that
different."
"I'm not like you," Vicky coldly replied. "At least I have friends who sincerely care for me, but what about you? Who
do you have? Tyler, you're a man who knows no sincerity, so no one will ever show it to you either!"
As soon as her words fell, the air froze instantly.
Vicky suddenly realized that her words had gone too far and regretted attacking him with this matter, no matter
how angry she was.
"I know no sincerity?” Tyler laughed, but the look in his eyes held a chilling coldness. "Vicky, you stepped all over my
sincerity, and you now accuse me of lacking it?"
Vicky's expression stiffened. She turned her face away and spoke with a tense voice, "Tyler, those things are all in
the past. What's the point of constantly bringing up the past or digging up old grudges?"
"The past?" Tyler extended his slender, icy-cold fingers, gripping her chin and forcing her to meet his gaze. With a
strange smile, he said, "It'll never be just the past."
Vicky trembled slightly. "Tyler, by doing this, you're not torturing me; you're torturing yourself instead. Don't you
realize that?”
She knew he had always harbored resentment forthat past. During their years of marriage, he had been cold and
distant toward her. Even after she lost her memory, he treated her with a mix of warmth and indifference, leaving

her in constant doubt.
She thought that all of this was his carefully planned revenge, only to realize afterward that he had never been able
to move on from that past.
Slowly, she said, My presence is the reason that you constantly recall that terrible past... Tyler, you should try to let
go. Let go of me and the past. Perhaps you'll find a lighter burden to carry."
"I tried," he said abruptly and lowered his head to whisper into her ear, "but I can't do it. I can't stand seeing you
with someone else."
'He tried?' Vicky thought with a scowl and asked, "Is this divorce what you call trying?"
"Yes."
Remorse instantly filled her heart as Tyler might not have been provoked if she did not show up with Lincoln.
As though he could hear her thoughts, Tyler muttered, "It didn't matter. Even if you didn't show up with Lincoln, I
still wouldn't have let you go. Since I can't shake the past, you are not allowed to start a new life either."
"What exactly do you want, then, Tyler?" Vicky asked.
