Chapter 568
After a few moments of silence, Gloria said, "Vicky came by today."
"What was she doing here?"
"To apologize, and to beg for mercy in Alex's place."
The look in Tyler's eyes darkened.
Gloria studied his face. "Tyler, are you holding Alex prisoner? If
"Yes."
"Is he..." she muttered hesitantly. "How is he now?"
"Alive for now.”
Her heart sank and she thought, 'Alive for now? Will anything happen to him?'
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Tyler," Gloria whispered. "I've known Alex since we were kids. He might be a hothead, but he's not a
bad man. Maybe he just wasn't thinking when he did all that. I'm fine now, so why don't you just let him
go since he has been punished accordingly?"
"Don't worry about Alex. I will handle it," replied Tyler.
"Tyler, can't you just leave it?"
"You should be resting," he said and turned to leave.
"Tyler!" Gloria raised her voice. "Are you this reluctant to set
Alex free because he kidnapped me, or because he...took Vicky and left?"
"What are you trying to say?"
"If it's for my sake, you've already shot him twice in return." Gloria kept her eyes trained on him. "Tyler,
tell me... Do you hate Alex this much because of what happened in the past?"
"No."
"No?" Gloria's lips curled into a half-smile. "Back when you broke up with Vicky, Alex asked her out in
public holding a bouquet of roses and caused quite a scene."
When Vicky was studying abroad, Alex had paid her a few visits. He placed candles all over the ground
and
proclaimed his love for Vicky in front of the dorm building, and the entire school was drawn to watch
him.
Vicky was one of the most popular women in the school at the time, but though everyone knew she had
a boyfriend, no one knew who it was.
Gloria knew it was Tyler from the beginning as he had been to every show Vicky performed in.
As Vicky's cousin, Gloria was relatively close with Vicky at the time and had even dined with Tyler a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcouple of times. Still, she merely considered Tyler as a distant friend at the time.
Gloria was never one to spread rumors about others, so she did not discuss Tyler's identity at school
since Vicky seemed to prefer keeping a low profile.
When Alex confessed to Vicky, everyone thought that he was Vicky's mysterious boyfriend all along
and Gloria spotted Tyler in the crowd at the time.
Vicky did not want to embarrass Alex in public, so she accepted the bouquet and the crowd around her
cheered. However, Alex and Vicky never dated afterward.
"Tyler, do you know what Vicky said when she came to me today?" Gloria took out a recording device
and played the conversation between her and Vicky.
"If you're willing to help, I can promise to do anything in return within my power."
"And if I ask that you leave Tyler and divorce him?" came Gloria's voice from the device. *
After a moment of silence, Vicky said, "Sure. If you can convince Tyler to accept that, I will cooperate
unconditionally."
