Chapter 26
Sebastian’s expression darkened. “Vicky, if nothing is troubling you, you can tell me. Others might be scared of crossing Tyler, but I’m not.”
The Hart family was one of the most powerful families in Stoneford City, but the Mills family was among
those on the list as well.
Feeling moved, Vicky said, “I’ve already decided, but thank you, Mister Mills. I’ve caused you a lot of trouble in the past two days.”
He scowled. “Vicky, we’ve known each other most of our lives, so you don’t have to thank me… Don’t call me
Mister Mills. Just call me Sebastian.”
“Alright, Sebastian.”
He walked over to her bed. “Vicky, you might not remember this, but we grew up as friends. I know that I’m a stranger to you now and you can’t trust me, but…” He looked into her eyes. “I know you. You would’ve never dropped the charges for no reason at all.”
She did not respond.
He kept his eyes trained on her. “Vicky, can you tell me what happened?”
All of Vicky’s pretenses meant nothing to the people who knew her. After a long moment of silence, she confessed, “I made a trade with Tyler. He’ll help to get Cece out, and I’ll drop my charges on Sasha.” She then proceeded to briefly explain what happened to Cece.
Sebastian listened to her thoughtfully and said, “Why didn’t you tell me about Cece? Even if you don’t agree to Tyler’s terms, I could’ve helped to get her out as well.”
“Cece fell into a trap, yes, but she did hit Hector Larson. He’s the only son of the Larson family, and they’re
not about to let Cece go. It’s not that easy to get her out.”
The Larsons would not care as to why Cece had beaten Hector to begin with. Tyler had been reluctant to help, not because he hated Vicky and wanted her friends to suffer; he was not that petty. In his perspective, crossing the Larson family for a mere assistant was not worth it. More precisely, Vicky was not worth the
effort.
Sebastian studied the look on her face and muttered huskily, “Even if it’s not easy, I have my ways.”
