Chapter 557
Vicky stood by the handrail on the deck and stared into the ocean.
The Torres family's business focused on the sea, and though they no longer lived in Stoneford City,
they still had their connections which helped Alex escape the night before.
Though Alex was reckless, he was not a fool and had prepared a way to leave.
As he walked outside, he spotted Vicky staring at the ocean blankly.
"Vicky." He walked over to her gloomily. "I wanted to get Tyler to sign the divorce agreement and bring
you with me, but Gloria..."
What Gloria did disrupted his entire plan.
"You've done a great job, but..." Vicky frowned worriedly." Tyler is a vindictive man, and he won't just let
us go. We only managed to escape because Gloria jumped into the ocean and passed out. Once
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGloria's safety is ensured, Tyler is going to come after us."
They might live if Gloria was safe, but if something happened to her, Vicky knew the worst was yet to
come.
If they caused harm to Tyler's first true love, Tyler would never spare them.
As soon as Vicky woke up that morning, she could not help but feel overwhelmed by an ominous
feeling as though something bad was about to happen.
"Vicky, don't worry," Alex said. "This is a personal sailing route that I've planned before coming to
Stoneford City. It's a vast ocean with countless ships coming and going every day, so he won't find us."
He paused and added, "It's okay even if he finds us, though. I'll just tell him that I kidnapped you. He
won't blame what happened on you."
Alex was being naive as she could not be excluded simply because he said so.
Vicky could not be excused from what happened, but she knew that Alex was a loyal friend and had
done everything for her sake, so she did not blame him.
She proceeded to ask about the past.
Alex planned to take her to safety, and it would take three to four days to do so, so he took the time to
go through all the events in the past.
Most of the events he recalled took place before Vicky traveled abroad, and since Alex stayed
overseas because of what happened to his family, he did not know what happened to Vicky when she
was studying abroad.
"You were supposed to study there for two years, but you came home after just one year. Sebastian
said that you
were depressed at the time and that you wouldn't reveal the reason. After some time, I heard from
Sebastian that you got engaged to Harvey."
"You said you overheard a conversation between me and Gloria last night. Is that true?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Of course," Alex said without hesitation. "When have I ever lied?"
"When and where did you hear that?"
"You went overseas at the time, right? I went to visit you a couple of times and you had a performance,
so I went to the concert. When I walked past a garden, I heard you arguing with Gloria."
Vicky narrowed her eyes slightly. "What's with that oath I made? Did Gloria really make me say that?"
"Who else?" A contemptuous look appeared on his face at the mention of Gloria, but he repeated what
he heard. "You said that you promised to never play the piano again. Gloria must've said something to
make you say that!"
Vicky stared at him. "And what did Gloria say?"
Alex pouted. "What else can that hypocritic woman say? She said something along the line of 'your
promise means nothing to me' or something like that... I didn't hear much because she left shortly
afterward."
