Chapter 1653

Tyler's question caught Adam off-guard. He hesitated, unsure of how to explain. "It's because..."

"Because our relationship wasn't that great back then," Vicky chimed in. "We didn't meet often, and maybe Adam

has

forgotten about me. As for me, I... I didn't have much to say to Adam."

Tyler looked at Vicky. "Why didn't you get along?"

Vicky smiled and replied, "Well, it's because Adam always reminded me not to have any unrealistic fantasies about

you."

Tyler studied her for a moment, seemingly believing her explanation, and did not press the matter further.

Due to a long day of travel and Tyler's scheduled appointments for the next day, he did not do anything to Vicky

that night, and they went to bed early.

The next day, Tyler woke Vicky up very early.

"Get up and get ready." Tyler was already dressed perfectly.

Vicky checked the time and found that it was only half past five.

Lately, she had been quite the sleepyhead. Normally, she could get by with seven to eight hours of sleep, but

recently, she was trending toward 10 to 12 hours.

"Do you want me to accompany you for breakfast?" Vicky asked, rubbing her eyes.

"I have a business meeting after breakfast."

Vicky's drowsiness faded a bit. "Am I going too?"

Tyler nodded.

Vicky was taken aback. "You want me to accompany you to a business meeting?"

"Is there a problem?"

"But..."

'No 'but'.” Tyler was becoming impatient and pulled her out of bed. "If we delay any longer, we'll be late."

Vicky, still somewhat bewildered, quickly freshened up and had breakfast. Then, Tyler forcefully ushered her into

the car and took her to the business meeting.

Upon arriving at the meeting, everyone stood up from their seats to greet Tyler.

"Welcome, Mister Hart."

"Mister Hart, you're early; the meeting doesn't start for another five minutes."

"Mister Hart, please honor us by visiting my estate."

The people at the venue surrounded Tyler, offering pleasantries and flattery. Most of them were older than Tyler,

and although he was their junior, they treated him with the respect one would show to an elder.

Watching this scene, Vicky felt a mix of emotions. One phrase naturally came to her mind: The evils of capitalism.

Thinking about how these well-established figures had to humble themselves in front of Tyler, just like she once did,

made her feel slightly better.

In some ways, they were all the same.

At that moment, someone noticed Vicky, and their expression turned to surprise. "Who is this?"

Tyler calmly stated, "This is Ms. Shaw."

The gazes of those present turned to Vicky, and their surprise deepened.

Tyler had not introduced their relationship and merely mentioned her name, but those who knew more understood.

While it was indeed attention-grabbing that Tyler had openly brought another woman along so soon after breaking

off his engagement with Avery, it was not entirely unheard of among men of their stature.

What truly surprised them was that Tyler had brought her to this kind of gathering.

Vicky also noticed that apart from a few professionallooking women who had come for work, not one person

brought a female companion. Judging from her attire, she did not look like someone attending for business

purposes.

She was instantly overwhelmed by awkwardness.

Before she could say anything, these people changed their demeanor incredibly quickly and began to offer friendly

gestures.

"Is this Ms. Shaw?"

"Please, come inside!"

"Ms. Shaw, if you’d like anything to eat or drink, just let us know. I'll have my secretary prepare it."

"I can have my assistant fetch some magazines for you to read if you get bored, Ms. Shaw."

The sudden shift in their attitude made Vicky feel even more uncomfortable.
