Chapter 552
Alex immediately steadied Vicky and glared at Tyler. âVicky, donât listen to him! When he loved you,
everything about you was perfect. When he got bored, he came up with all these excuses! Tyler, you
might as well be a man and admit you grew bored of Vicky!â
Tyler glanced at Alex casually. âVicky knows if Iâm a man better than anyone.â
Alexâs face flushed with anger. âYouâre disgusting, Tyler Hart! n
âDisgusting?â Tyler responded with a half-smile. âSince when is the intimacy between a married couple
something
disgusting? If you consider this disgusting, what would you say about the one-night-stand you had with
that woman, Holly Beaver back then?â
Alex paled. âTyler, stop running your mouth! Iâ¦â He paused and turned to Vicky. âVicky, Iâve never done
anything to betray you! I donât know what happened with that woman-â
Before he could finish his sentence, Tyler interrupted him.â You dare accuse me of running my mouth?
You were caught in bed with a woman by reporters, and it made headlines all those years ago. Have
you forgotten, Mister Torres? Should I get someone to bring me the video from the news back then so
you can relive your memories?â
âShut up!â Alex started to sweat and frantically attempted to explain himself to Vicky. âVicky, donât
believe what he said. Holly Beaver and I⦠Nothing happened between us. I looked into her afterward,
and I found something odd with the time she appeared. I suspect that Tyler was the one who hired that
woman to frame me!â
Vicky noticed the frantic state Alex was in and consoled him, âItâs okay. I believe you, so donât panic.â
All it took was a few words from Tyler for Alex to lose his composure, so Vicky knew that a man like
Alex would not stand a chance against Tyler. She stepped forward and shielded Alex. âThis is between
us, so why are you bringing Alex into it? Love is love. Thereâs no need for all these excuses.â
After getting to know someone, people could only develop positive or negative feelings toward them. If
their love was meant to last, they would stay together; but if they fell out of love eventually, anything
could be the excuse one used to end a relationship.
âYouâre right,â Tyler said with an indifferent expression.â Once the feelings are lost, all explanations are
nothing but excuses.â
Though Vicky learned part of the past, all she found out was how much Tyler resented her and why
Gloria seemed distant.
Vicky stared into Tylerâs eyes and asked, âWhy have you never mentioned any of these to me before?â
âBecause Iâm disgusted.â He met her eyes with hatred burning his eyes. âJust thinking of the past
makes me sick.â
Her heart sank as she recognized the look in his eyes.
Tyler had looked at her the same way more times than she could count, and though she never
understood why he never seemed capable of deciding what he wanted with her, she finally came to
realize why.
Tyler had likely thought that it would not help for him to continue a marriage that torture both him and
her and therefore wanted to let go of the past to resolve their differences, but the thought of the past
would fill him with disgust, and he would instantly be reminded that Vicky did not deserve mercy.
He could not bring himself to divorce Vicky and set her free, but neither could he let go of the past.
In the process of torturing Vicky, he was torturing himself with the past as well.
Vicky chuckled. âAlright, this is the end of the conversation. Itâs time that you make your choice.â
