âOn the day I was kidnapped, did you blame me for seeking help from Harvey instead of you?â A
gloomy look appeared on Gloriaâs face. âI was furious when I found out about âthat incidentâ, and since
Iâve saved Harveyâs life once, I wanted to give him the chance to make it even and break all ties with
him. I just didnât expect itâ¦Vicky to get kidnapped as well.â
Gloria was young and proud back then. She had always been the brightest star wherever she went and
had countless pursuers, who included two of the most eligible bachelors of her generation: Tyler and
Harvey.
She had saved Harveyâs life once, and from that day onward, she became his priority above all. He
even confessed his love for her in public, making her the target of envy of all women in the city.
She was not interested in Harvey and turned him down, but he continued to care for her as he had
always done.
After that, Tyler started pursuing her as well. Though his approach had not been as obvious as Harvey,
everyone in the elite community knew about it.
In truth, she was far more interested in Tyler than in Harvey.
Gloria had fallen for Tyler long before he started to pursue her, and that was a secret she had kept from
him all along.
She had always been prideful and only meant to test Tyler if he truly loved her, but to her bewilderment,
Vicky took the opportunity to get between her and Tyler.
When she received a text message and went to a room to find Tyler naked with Tyler, she was furious.

She could not tolerate the fact that her pursuer was sleeping with her cousin, so she left Stoneford City
against all objections.
She thought that Tyler would come after her, but he did not.
Soon after she left, she heard that Tyler had started seeing Sheila, a woman who caught his attention
by playing âThe Moonlight Bayâ. Afterward, the rivalry between Tyler and Harvey intensified.
Harvey failed and fled Stoneford City, while Tyler ended up marrying Vicky.
Gloria was surprised at first, but she realized that it made sense. After all, Vicky managed to break
Tyler and her apart with ease, so Vicky was more than capable of getting rid of a mere substitute, no
doubt.
âThe person who helped her sure had a brilliant mind⦠I even suspect he might be behind the
kidnapping.â A dazed look appeared in Gloriaâs eyes.â Tyler, have you looked into that person?â 1
Harvey knew about the mysterious man and had been investigating him, but he found nothing so far.
âI havenât found anything,â Tyler said. âHe seemed to have sensed that something was wrong and
hadnât reached out to Vicky since we got married.â
Gloria narrowed her eyes slightly. âTyler, after so many years, do you still⦠blame Harvey? Heâs paid
the price for being in prison for three years.â
A contemptuous look appeared on Tylerâs face. âHe is just a clown.â
Gloria sighed a breath of relief. She had been worried that Tyler would see Harvey as the enemy who
killed his father. Though Tylerâs fatherâs death was indeed related to Harvey, Harvey was not the one
who caused the car accident.
Before Gloria was about to say something else, Tylerâs phone rang.
The moment he answered, a frantic voice blustered through the speaker,â Mister Hart, your wife is
awake, and sheâs in a bad state! Do you need to come back to see her?â
