Chapter 544
It did not seem to be an appropriate question for Vicky to ask as Tyler broke Alexâs legs because of her.
Asking about it seemed like rubbing salt in Alexâs wound, but not asking about it would make her seem
heartlessâ¦and she truly did want to know if he had recovered.
Alex smiled casually. âWith modern technology, Iâve recovered a lot of time ago.â
In truth, he had just recently recovered because Tyler had beaten his legs with such brute force that he
came close to being bound to a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
His family had traveled all around the world in search of skilled doctors and finally managed to cure him
some time ago. He would have never waited so long before coming back to rescue Vicky.
Vicky stared at him. âReally?â
âOf course. When have I ever lied to you?â
She relaxed. âWhere is Gloria? I want to see her.â
Since Tyler had already been informed, Vicky realized that she would need to think of something else.
âCome on, then. Iâll take you to her,â said Alex.
He led her out of the room and arrived at another room where the lights were dimmed.
Gloria was tied to a chair with tape over her lips. Her hair was ruffled and both her cheeks were swollen
with faint palm prints on them.
Gloria, who used to be elegant, seemed extremely discomfited.
She widened her eyes in disbelief and started to move as she made muffled screams when she saw
Vicky walking into the room with Alex.
âAnd who are you glaring at, Gloria Shaw? Iâll gouge those eyes out!â Alex said sharply.
Gloria ignored him and continued to glare at Vicky.
After a few moments of silence, Vicky whispered, âLetâs at least remove the tape on her mouth.â
Alex had always been obedient to Vicky and glanced at his subordinate. âTake the tape off.â
Once the tape was removed, Gloria could finally talk. âYou did this, Vicky?!â She stared at Vicky. âYou
resent me for keeping you out of the house and making you sick that day, huh? This is how you get
back at me, is that it?â
Alexâs expression darkened. âSo you caused Vicky to come down with a fever and end up in a
hospital?!â He glared at Gloria in disgust. âYou again! Youâre a disgusting hypocrite! You partnered with
that crazy Sparks woman and framed Vicky time and time again all those years ago. Heh! I guess a
b*tch will always be-â >
He paused and recalled that Gloria was Vickyâs cousin.
âIf I call Gloria a b*tch, what does that leave Vicky?â he thought and swiftly changed his words.
âI guess a tiger canât change its stripes.â
Vicky opened her mouth to speak when one of Alexâs men came in. Mister Torres, Tyler Hart is here.â
