Chapter 545
Alex scowled. âSo soon?â He then turned to look at Vicky.â Vicky, Tyler is here. Iâll need to go meet
him.â
Vickyâs heart sank at the mention of Tylerâs name, and she blurted out, âTake me with you.â
He hesitated. âButâ¦â
âTake me.â
Alex could never decline Vicky. âAlright, but donât interfere.
This is between me and him, so just leave it to me.â
She nodded with a dark look on her face.
âVicky Shaw!â Seeing that Vicky was leaving, Gloria raised her voice. âJust let me go, and we can all
pretend that this never happened.â
Vicky stilled and turned to look at Gloria hesitantly.
Sensing that she was wavering, Gloria continued, âI know that youâre upset about what happened that
day, Vicky, but thatâs just how confidential contracts work⦠In any case, I am to blame for you getting
sick, so I can understand that you want to vent your anger.â She stared into Vickyâs eyes.â Youâve had
your fun, Vicky. If this isnât enough, you can slap me in the face and weâll let this pass, okay? You donât
want to cause a scene, do you?â
Alex sneered. âMiss Shaw sure is great at being the bigger person. Havenât you been waiting for Tyler
to come here all
along? He didnât wait to hurry over as soon as he heard that you were kidnapped. What a shameâ¦â
Alex and Vicky grew up together, but he hated Gloria since they were at school.
He signaled one of the men to seal Gloriaâs mouth and said,â Leave your hypocritic tricks to Tyler. They
wonât work on me. N
He then ignored Gloria and turned to Vicky. âVicky, leave her be. Letâs go.â
Vicky hesitated for a moment before leaving with him.
Since Alex had informed Tyler about the kidnap, there was no point in setting Gloria free, so she
decided to observe how Tyler reacted.
Vicky did not wait for Tyler in the same room as Alex and was arranged to wait in a conjoining room.
Through a unique piece of glass, she could see who was in the other room and hear what they said.
10 minutes later, Alex ordered his men to bring Tyler in.
Tyler looked towering in his black trench coat, and his intimidating presence instantly filled the room.
He scowled when he saw Alex sitting lazily on the couch, and a contemptuous look appeared on his
face.
âAre your legsâ¦better, Mister Torres?â he asked casually as he glanced at Alexâs legs. âYou havenât
changed a bit after all these years.â i
Alex gritted his teeth at the contempt on Tylerâs face, but he was not the same reckless man after four
years.
