Chapter 564
Tyler pulled Vicky into a certain room and said, âGo get a shower.â
Vicky had regained her composure and dared not to disobey, so she kept her head lowered and
headed into the bathroom to shower.
She was not in the mood for a bubble bath, but she did not want to face Tyler so soon and purposefully
stalled.
40 minutes later, Vicky walked outside in a bathing robe. Tyler had showered as well by then.
He was standing by the window and speaking into his phone. âHas she woken up? How is she now?
Yeah. Probably at night.â After a few words, he ended the call and turned to find Vicky standing behind
him.
âHow isâ¦Gloria?â she asked.
âSheâs awake.â
â⦠Good.â
âI thought youâd prefer that she never wakes up,â Tyler said sarcastically.
After a few moments of silence, Vicky said, âIf she never wakes up, Alex and L.are pretty much
doomed.â She frowned and continued, âHow is Alex now?â
A cold expression took over Tylerâs face. âThat depends on what you do.â
Vicky looked at him. âWhat do you mean?â
âItâll be a waste to not make good use of him.â He shot her a half-smile. âIf you want him to live, you
know what to do.â
She paled as she immediately realized he meant to use Alex to keep her under control. As long as Alex
was at Tylerâs mercy, she would have no choice but to obey Tyler even if he wanted to break her legs.
Her lashes fluttered as she knew this was simply one of the many ways he had to torture her.
âWhat can I doâ¦for you to let him go?â
The rain outside had not ceased, and the room remained gloomy.
Tyler stood by the window, blocking what little light there was. His figure was tall and slender in a
devilish manner.
âWho did this?â he asked.
âMe,â Vicky blurted out. âI ordered Alex to-â
He interrupted her and said, âIf you continue to lie, Iâll destroy his legs once and for all.â He narrowed
his eyes coldly as though he had everything under control.
Her heart sank as she swallowed her words. Feeling helpless, she closed her eyes and said, âI didnât
know about this. I just have no proof to prove that Iâm not involved and I didnât want Alex to take all the
blame, soâ¦I said that I was
the one who pulled the strings.â
Though Alexâs actions were questionable, he did it all for Vicky. She could not possibly leave him to die.
She opened her eyes and looked at Tyler pleadingly. âLet Alex go. He never meant to hurt Gloria. He
just-â
He interrupted her once again, âWhat did you do last night?â
Vicky paused and answered right away, âNothing. We didnât do anything.â
âDid he touch you?â
â⦠No.â
He scanned her up and down before uttering, âStrip, then.â
