Chapter 614: Chapter 616

Chapter 616

Selene remained still, and after some time, her anger began to escalate. Just as she was about to say

something, Gloria said, “Vicky, if you want some kind of compensation, name anything. We will do our

best to fulfill your wish.”

Vicky glanced at her. “A casual apology from Miss Rathborne and a simple promise of compensation is

supposed to cancel out all the damage done to our studio and Cece’s reputation?”

Gloria paused. “I will compensate twice the loss to the studio, and I will make a public statement on

social media about the truth. My dresses for any concert in the following year will be ordered from your

studio, and after each performance, I will include your studio’s name in my social media as well. Is that

okay?”

Gloria was proposing to be the spokesperson for Vicky’s studio.

As a world-famous pianist, Gloria never had to worry about money despite the downfall of her family.

She never accepted any roles in commercials and rejected offers that paid over eight digits in the past,

which went to prove just how difficult it was to hire Gloria as a spokesperson.

Considering Gloria’s popularity, one could only imagine how many orders Vicky’s studio would receive

with her as the spokesperson.

Cece glanced at Vicky and thought, ‘Vicky and Tyler are in a strange stage of their relationship right

now, and based on what I know about Vicky, she might not agree to it.’

“Sure,” Vicky agreed right away.

Cece, Gloria, and Selene were all stunned.

Vicky turned to look at Cece. “Cece, go and draft a contract based on the terms Miss Shaw proposed.’

Though shocked, Cece asked, “Should… Should I go now, then?’

“Go ahead.”

Shortly after, Cece returned with a printed copy of the contract.

Gloria did not expect Vicky to agree to her terms, but since she had made a promise in front of Tyler,

she could not go back on her promise. After taking a look at the contract, Gloria signed her name on

the very last page.

Vicky signed her name as well and signaled Cece to put the contract aside.

“Since this has been resolved, it’s time we discuss the other thing.” Vicky stared at Selene. “How are

we going to deal with the fact that Miss Rathborne here drugged Tyler?”

Tension rose in the air.

Selene panicked at first, but she immediately regained her composure.” Vicky, what are you talking

about? You were the one who received the drug from Gloria. How am I involved in any way?”

“Would you prefer that I present the evidence right in front of you, Miss Rathborne?” Vicky questioned.

Selene choked on her words.

Just then, Tyler, who had remained quiet the entire time, spoke out, “Get out, the two of you.”

Gloria glanced at him hesitantly but dragged Selene out of the room without a word in the end.

Vicky and Tyler were soon left alone in the room, and Vicky looked up at the man before her. ‘Are you

trying to protect Selene, or do you still think that…I did it?”

“Selene would’ve never had the chance to do what she did if you hadn’t agreed to Gloria’s terms.”

Vicky instantly realized that Tyler had found out the truth, as it was never difficult to investigate.

Had Tyler not been so certain that Vicky did it, Selene’s bungled acts would have never managed to

fool Tyler.

Still, Selene succeeded in the end.

‘Can I blame Selene?’ Vicky thought. ‘Standing in her shoes, it seems reasonable that she wants to

bring Gloria and Tyler together.’
