Chapter 484
Gloria knew she could never go back to the past.
Tyler strode off, and his figure disappeared into the distance.
Gloria went into the car in devastation.
Adam sensed her depression and started the car while asking, âMiss Shaw, when did you come back?â
Adam was one of Tylerâs many assistants, and he had seen Gloria multiple times.
Gloria cast her emotions aside and smiled. âA while ago. Mister Jeeves, how have you been?â
âIâm doing alright. Iâve just come back to Zendonia myself.â
Gloria was shocked. âThere mustâve been a lot of work in Hart Corporation after the fight between Tyler
and Harvey, right? Werenât you by Tylerâs side?â
Adam glanced at the dark sky. âYeah, I left Zendonia shortly after Mister Hart was married.â
âWhy?â
âBecause of a mistake I made, Vicky came down with a high fever, so I was sent away,* Adam said in a
cold voice.
Gloria smiled. âI know Vicky. She wouldâve never sent you away over something like that.â
âAnyone can pretend to be kind on the outside.â Adam sneered. âAfter all these years, Vicky is still the
immature brat that sheâs always been and came close to getting Mister Hart killed just to get back at
Sheila.â
Gloria tensed. âWhat happened to Tyler?â
âHe was shot, but heâs fine now.â Adam sighed. âIâve always thought that you were the perfect match for
Mister Hart, but fate has its way of tormenting mortals.â
Gloria fell into memories of the past in his words and muttered, âI shouldnât have played hard to get,
should I? Tyler had been pursuing me for so long that I shouldâve accepted him instead of waiting for
my birthday to do soâ¦â
Gloria was a woman with style who enjoyed making every detail in her life a ceremony. At the time,
Tylerâs pursuit had moved her, and she was about to accept him.
âThree monthsâ¦â Tears welled in her eyes. âI wanted to accept him on my birthday in front of everyone
who knows me⦠I was silly.â Tears scrolled down her cheeks. âNow, itâs all too late.â
âYou donât know that,â Adam said.
âWhat?â
âMiss Shaw, I came back because Mister Hartâs marriage with Vicky was ending⦠He wanted to
divorce her.â
Adam would have never been able to return otherwise.
âVicky ran into a car accident after that and lost her memories, so Mister Hart held it off.â He paused
with a contemptuous look on his face. âI was working at the time and didnât know much about the
details, but I heard from Harry that Vicky kept going to the office to look for Mister Hart and even
brought him lunch and everything. There are things that Iâm not supposed to say as Mister Hartâs
subordinate, Miss Shaw, but I can see that youâre still in love with him. You two are supposed to be the
perfect couple, and to see you end up like this is a shame, i
âIâll just cut to the chase. You know what Mister Hart is like. He isnât a man who takes initiative in
romantic relationships, and the fact that he spent so much time pursuing you proves just how much he
cares for you. However, you kept him hanging and, in the end, Vicky took advantage of it. Youâre aware
of how Vicky succeeded, right? All she did was shamelessly cling onto Mister Hart.â
He paused once again and deadpanned, âMiss Shaw, you need to earn happiness in life. Thereâs no
such thing as a free lunch, and good things donât just happen for no reason at all. A relationship needs
to be maintained by two people, and if you donât fight for him, Mister Hart canât keep chasing after you.
Miss Shaw, only shameless men would go after people who donât reciprocate their love. Iâm sure there
are men like that amongst your pursuers, but have you taken interest in any of them?â
