Chapter 143
"I thought Missus Hart can't play at all! She's...at the level of a brilliant pianist!"
"My daughter has been learning to play for six years, and she's not even half as good as Missus Hart!"
"It's no wonder that Mister Hart doesn't go out to listen to others play.
She’s much better at it compared to other performers out there!"
"Didn't someone say that Missus Hart injured Miss Mayland on purpose because she's jealous of Miss
Mayland's talent in playing piano? Why would she even be jealous of anyone?"
The crowd erupted into a heated discussion, and the majority of them started to look at Nikki with odd
expressions.
"Could it be that...this woman fell on purpose and framed Missus Hart on purpose, all to capture Mister

"Maybe it's just an old trick that only ignorant girls like her would use."
Nikki paled at the comments directed at her.
Maria's expression darkened as she struggled to believe that Vicky could play piano.
'How is this possible?!' she snarled inwardly. 'Throughout the three years she has been married to
Tyler, she had only played once and became the city's laughingstock because of how terribly she did.'
Vicky never played the piano in public before the fall of the Shaws, and it was her cousin, Gloria, who
was known for her skills in the piano.
Gloria was yet another elite lady who was comparable to Vicky, and the two were referred to as two of
the most beautiful women in Stoneford City.
Maria's mind was in complete chaos, and she could not figure out what had gone wrong, but she could
not deny what was happening before her own eyes.
Just then, steady footsteps echoed within the hall as Tyler strode toward Tyler.
His presence was majestic and intimidating and wherever he went, the discussion would die down
naturally.
He ignored everyone but Vicky and stared at her intently. Emotions that she could not begin to read
filled his eyes.
"Why are you playing piano all of a sudden?" he asked.
He did not look surprised or happy but seemed to have conflicted feelings about the sight before him. i
Vicky did not have time to study the look in his eyes and simply turned to glance at Nikki, who was
about to collapse. "Miss Sparks and Miss Mayland accused me of shoving Miss Mayland and ruining
her hands because I'm jealous of her talent..."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBefore Vicky could finish, they all heard a gasp.
Nikki was already weak from her injury, and the shock she experienced pushed her body to its limit.
Everything went black as she collapsed onto the ground.
By the time all was handled and they returned home, it was already past 11.
Tyler's phone rang as soon as he entered the bedroom, and as he walked to the balcony to answer the
call, Vicky took the chance to open her social media account.
There was not much record, but she seemed to have marked all the details about her wedding with
Tyler, along with how they spent birthdays and anniversaries.
It was obvious she used to be deeply in love with him and only recorded their memories together
because she cared about him.
Vicky scowled and scrolled up to the history of before their marriage and on the first birthday Tyler
spent with her present.
