Chapter 421
Sebastian shook his head. "It dawned on me that I overreacted after I got my bearings, so I tried to
contact Alex again, but I couldn't find him. I asked his family, but they said Alex had been out of it after
his legs were broken, and he never cared about other people.
"One day, he left a letter and left his family. He asked his family and friends not to worry about him
because he only wanted some time to be alone. After that...l can't get my hands on any of his news."
Vicky heard that and her eyes started to waver. She thought the dream she had last night happened
because of the shocking truth she discovered. From the looks of it, it was more than what she thought.
By then. Missus Mills came out with a bowl of washed fruits.
"Missus Hart.’ She gave Sebastian a warning look before smiling at Vicky." Please have some fruits."
Ever since Vicky was here, she had been calling Vicky 'Missus Hart'. It was an act of means to remind
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtVicky and also Sebastian of their situation.
Vicky looked at Missus Mills and said, ’Thank you."
Suddenly, Missus Mills looked solemn. "Hey, Vicky. You've grown up with Sebastian, so you surely
know what kind of person Sebastian is. I have no idea what our family has done to have crossed Mister
Hart. Hart Corporation had been targeting Mills Group and buying shares of the group. It's not just
here, but it happened to our oversea business too.
"I'm not going to hide it from you. Mills Group started to shift the business to Lovian because of the
attack from Hart Corporation. Our business power here is relatively limited. The only reason we haven't
left this city is that we are trying to shift everything overseas... Our family will, more or less, leave
Zendonia in a year.
"But..." She looked at Vicky. "Now that Hart Corporation is after our business and taking away our
orders... I'm afraid our cash flow is going to have a problem, and we'll be on the edge of bankruptcy.’
Vicky asked, "What would you like me to do?"
"Vicky, I watched you grow up, so I'm going to be frank with you. I hope you can put in some words for
us and ask Tyler to leave us alone. If he promises this, I'll immediately leave Zendonia with Sebastian
and promise never to come back to Stoneford City," Missus Mills answered.
Before Vicky said anything, the look on Sebastian's face changed. He said," Mother, no..."
Missus Mills cut him off, "Sebastian, don't tell me you're willing to see our business be destroyed? Fine.
Let's not talk about the business. What about you? It was a narrow escape for you. Have you ever
thought of...what if it happens again?"
Her eyes became watery. "Do you want us to grieve and mourn for you?"
Sebastian felt sorry too. He said softly, "Maybe he's not the one who caused the accident..."
"Maybe, you say?" Missus Mills sneered sarcastically. "Have you forgotten what he had done to you
before you left Zendonia a few years ago?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt left Sebastian speechless.
Vicky did not know there was a hidden reason why Sebastian left. She thus asked, "Missus Mills, can
you please tell me what happened in detail?"
Missus Mills did not intend to hide anymore and told the truth. "Sebastian had always had a thing for
you. After your family was ruined and your engagement with Harvey was over, Sebastian wanted to
marry you... You hesitated with his proposal and didn't reject him like before, probably because of what
happened to your family.
"At that time, Sebastian was very happy. As for what happened later, I don't truly know either.
Sebastian refused to tell me. I only know you ended up with Tyler, and there was a rumor saying you
were pregnant with his child.
"Sebastian couldn't accept it and tried to look for you a few times. One time, Tyler saw this and..."
Missus Mills paused and looked at Sebastian. Oddly, Sebastian's face looked terrible too.
She continued, "Tyler was a lunatic. He got someone to cause a car accident and knocked Sebastian
until he was severely injured!"
