Chapter 556
Chaos erupted and Vicky stood still, feeling as though someone wrapped their fingers around her heart
as she stared into the ocean.
âVicky.â Alex walked over. âIâm sorry. I messed up again.â
She turned around, her face as pale as a ghost under the lights. âHave you sent people to rescue
them?â she asked hoarsely.
âI did.â Noticing the pale look on her face, he added, âDonât worry, Vicky. Most of my men are great
swimmers. Theyâre⦠going to be fine.â
Vicky nodded.
Just then, they heard footsteps approaching.
âMister Torres, bad news!â One of Alexâs men hurried over.â Our people went down there to rescue
Gloria and Tyler, but they discovered that weâve been surrounded. Those people⦠I donât know when
they boarded the ship, but they have most of our people under control. I managed to escape them
because I spotted them from afar. Mister Torres, hurry up and leave! If Tyler gets to youâ¦â
Alexâs expression darkened. âWhere are Tyler and Gloria?â
âHis men probably rescued them both.â
Alex took a deep breath. âInform the men who havenât been captured to leave right now.â
âButâ¦what about you, Mister Torres?â
âLeave me. I have my own plan.â
âButâ¦â
âLeave already!â Alex roared.
The man took one last look at Alex and left reluctantly.
Though Alex said that he had a way, what happened had surpassed his expectations. He only sent his
men away to stall and avoid having everyone captured at the same time.
âIf you want to leave, use me as a hostage,â Vicky said.
âWhat? How can I possibly do that?â
âYou will suffer if Tyler captures you.â Vicky glanced at the ocean. âGloria has probably lost
consciousness. Tyler will surely take Gloria to the hospital first and wonât have the time to come after
you in the meantime⦠This is your only chance to escape.â
After a few moments of hesitation, Alex gritted his teeth in determination. âAlright. Letâs escape his
range of power for now. Weâll discuss what comes next later!â
Vicky did not respond and simply stared at the ocean dazedly.
The red light above the surgery roomâs door shone brightly and Tyler, who had changed into new
clothes, arrived by the door.
âHow is she?â he asked.
âMiss Shaw isnât in life-threatening danger, but she is a frail woman and is bound to be affected after
jumping off somewhere that high,â replied Adam.
Gloriaâs physique could hardly be compared to Tylerâs. Tyler seemed unaffected, but Gloria remained in
a coma. i
âAlright.â Tyler was about to say something else when Harry hurried over.
âMister Tyler, bad news.â
The look in Tylerâs eyes darkened. âDid Alex get away?â
âYes.â Harry dared not to meet Tylerâs eyes. âHeâ¦took Missus Hart hostage and ranâ¦â
Tylerâs eyes widened. âWhat?â
âMissus Hart has beenâ¦held hostage,â Harry repeated gingerly. âWe didnât want to risk hurting Missus
Hart, soâ¦we let Alex slip through our fingers.â
âWhere is Vicky now?â
It was silent for a good few seconds before Harry replied,â Alex took her with him.â
