Chapter 1534
The black cat was unafraid of the unfamiliar surroundings and remained as free-spirited as it would at home.
Vicky walked over. "Panther."
Panther meowed at her and leaped over to Tyler before brushing its body up against the hem of his trousers.
Tyler scowled and backed away in disgust.
"I'm sorry." Vicky hastily went over to pick Panther up. However, the usually obedient cat refused to let her and
continued to circle Tyler.
Tyler shot Vicky a sidelong glance. "Are you really the owner? It
"Not really," she said awkwardly. "My friend is the owner. The cat went missing, and I'm just helping to look for it."
"Is that so?" He said. "Guests aren't allowed here, so it's quite a coincidence that you ended up here, looking for
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyour cat."
Vicky discerned the irony in his tone and chose not to defend herself. Instead, she silently picked up the cat.
Tyler watched her actions with cold eyes but did not intervene. He had no fondness for small animals, and
whichever direction the cat went hardly mattered to him.
Panther struggled in Vicky's arms, seemingly eager to join
Tyler's side. She held the cat tightly, saying, "Thank you, Mister Hart. I'll be on my way."
As she passed by Tyler, Panther suddenly scratched Vicky with its paw.
The unexpected pain caught Vicky off guard, and the cat slipped from her grasp.
Instinctively trying to catch it, she accidentally bumped into the couch leg.
Losing her balance, she tumbled heavily in a less-than- graceful manner. However, the anticipated surge of pain did
not come as she thought. Instead, a familiar, refreshing scent wafted to Vicky's nose.
Opening her eyes, she found herself face-to-face with Tyler.
At this moment, he met her eyes with a thin trace of mockery as if he were mocking her for deliberately falling into
his arms.
"Tyler, why didn’t you answer my calls..."
Just then, the room's door was pushed open abruptly, and a graceful figure barged in.
The woman's voice froze when she saw the two people inside the room. Subsequently, her eyes widened in
disbelief. "Vicky... How did you end up here?!"
Vicky snapped back to reality, hastily pushing Tyler away. However, in the flurry of panic, she not only failed to push
him away but also ended up tumbling into him.
Tyler remained motionless in his spot, his cool black gaze fixed on Vicky's flustered face, his thin lips curving into a
scornful arc.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAvery's eyes reddened with anger. "Vicky, you shameless woman! You dared to deceive me and try to seduce
Tyler?!"
Considering she had yet to have any intimate contact with Tyler, the fact that Vicky dared to be in his arms drove
Avery mad with the urge to tear her apart.
Avery lost her composure in an instant. Striding toward Vicky with fierce determination, she aimed to strike Vicky.
"Meow!"
A sharp cat cry cut through the air, and a dark shadow flew toward Avery.
Before she could react, Avery felt a stinging sensation on her face. Before she could register what happened, a
streak of blood appeared on her cheek.
Avery instinctively covered her face. Upon seeing the blood on her fingertips, she screamed. "Ah! My face!"
Vicky glanced at the hysterical Avery, then at Panther.
The cat innocently flicked its tail, its face filled with a look of innocence.
