Chapter 555

The lights on the ship were hardly enough to bring light to the ocean.

Tyler stood his ground in silence.

“From the moment you stepped foot into the ship, Tyler, I’ve ordered my men to set sail. I know you

have all the resources you need in Stoneford City, but with this ship so far from the coast at this

moment, your men won’t be able to help you,” Alex said.

When Tyler arrived, Alex demanded that Tyler was the only one allowed on board, so none of Tyler’s

subordinates could help.

Alex had been worried that they might not be far enough from the coast at first, but since the lights

along the coastline had faded from sight, he knew that Tyler had no means to protect himself.

Tyler kept his composure and said, “Looks like you’ve finally grown a brain after the past four years.”

“Tyler, are you sure you want to waste your time on meaningless insults?” Alex’s expression darkened

as he looked behind Tyler.

Gloria was held down by two men, who pushed her closer to the edge in response to Alex’s words.

Half of Gloria’s body was hanging in the air dangerously, and Tyler narrowed his eyes at the sight.

“Alex, this is your last chance. Let her go.”

“Of course. Sign this, and nothing will happen to Gloria.”

Time ticked by, and tension in the air intensified.

Tyler and Alex stood across one another quietly, staring into one another’s eyes.

The ends of Tyler’s coat fluttered in the wind, and his features looked exceptionally cold under the

moonlight.

“Tyler, don’t agree to it!” Gloria shouted. “Even if you do, he won’t let us go! Besides, I don’t want you to

make any compromise for my sake!” A determined look appeared on her face as she took one last look

at Tyler with a longing smile. “Goodbye, Tyler.” i

With that, she leaped and fell into the ocean.

It all happened in the blink of an eye, and no one expected Gloria to jump.

Not only were Vicky and Alex stunned, but even Tyler froze in shock for a split moment.

The two men who were restraining Gloria held her toward the edge to push Tyler into choosing, and

under the circumstances where anyone would struggle to get back onto the deck, Gloria jumped

instead.

The two men came close to falling alongside her the moment she jumped. They instinctively steadied

themselves by backing away, but by the time they thought of reaching out to grab Gloria, it was too

late.

Vicky paled and hurried over to the edge, but Gloria had disappeared into the sea.

Before she could react, another figure leaped into the sea as well, and her breath caught in her throat.

Alex’s men remained stunned. “That woman jumped, and so did Tyler…”

“Mister Torres, what… What are we supposed to do?”

“D*mn it!” Alex was furious as he did not expect Gloria to jump into the ocean.

Though he had made a lot of threats, he only meant to force Tyler into choosing, using Gloria as a

hostage. He never meant to kill her.

“What are you two doing, just standing there?!” Alex questioned sharply. “Get down there and rescue

them!”
