Tyler froze for a moment upon hearing what Vicky said, but he soon snapped out of his trance and glared daggers at her. "How dare you mention that pregnancy to me?!"
He reached out abruptly to grab her by the jaw, forcing her to meet his eyes with a dark expression. "If you've found out about the disgusting things you've done in the past, what makes you think that you have the right to confront me?"
She paled as she stared dazedly at his face, when memories of her conversation with Sheila filled her mind.
"Vicky, why do you think Tyler married you? Why didn't he punish you for destroying my hands? Why did I have to leave? It's all because you lied and said that you were pregnant! I could've turned a blind eye to the fact that you tricked him into sleeping with you, but I can't ignore the fact that you were pregnant! Tyler married you and I left the country as you wished in the end. A year after that, I went and asked Sasha if you had given birth to a boy or a girl, and she told me that...you were never pregnant."
Vicky, Tyler, and Sheila were the only people who knew about her 'pregnancy' at the time. Since Vicky's plot to sleep with Tyler had already been the talk of the city, none of them wanted to become the laughingstock of an unborn child.
Sheila became increasingly agitated as she spoke. "Vicky Shaw, do you have any idea what a horrible person you were? You used the pregnancy as your leverage to tie Tyler down! You even threatened to announce your pregnancy to the public if he refused to marry you. Since your situation couldn't be worse, you didn't mind letting others know. Even if I marry Tyler, the fact that he had an illegitimate child before the marriage would haunt us for life!"
Vicky had never expected to learn how vicious she had been in the past and asked, "So what happened to the child?"
