Tyler interrupted Selene coldly, âWhere is Gloria now?â
âIn the hospital,â said Selene raspily.
Tyler hung up the phone and turned to look at Vicky, who covered her entire body with the blanket and
looked at him with her clear eyes.
âDid something happen to Gloria?â she asked.
It was late at night and very quiet. Seleneâs voice was rather sonorous, and she was not far away from
Tyler. Obviously, she could hear everything Selene said.
âYeah. That guy, Isaac Shear, followed Gloria home,â Tyler said.
Isaac Shear?
Vicky was shocked. âIs she alright?â
âSheâs in the hospital now.â
Vicky nodded. âYou should go find her now.â
Tyler stood still for a moment and looked at her. âYouâre going with me.â
âMe?â blurted Vicky.
âGo put on your clothes.â Tyler did not repeat himself.
Vicky did not feel like going. However, Isaac was her customer, and Gloria suffered from this incident
because Tyler and her left her alone. Thus, she reckoned she was partly responsible.
âOkay,â she agreed.
In the hospital.
Gloria was holding an ice pack to soothe her swollen face.
Selene opened the door and entered the ward. âHey, Tyler will be here soon. It
Gloria frowned at this and harshly spoke, âWhy did you call him?â
Selene did not think it was a problem. âIs it wrong to call him when something terrible has happened to
you?â
Gloria was unhappy. âSelene, do you know what time it is?â
Selene looked at the clock on the wall. It was past midnight.
âGloria, I know you donât like to give trouble to other people, but think about what nearly happened to
you⦠If Tyler didnât leave you alone in the
restaurant, this wouldâve never happened! And that guy is Vickyâs boyfriend!
Donât you think she should be responsible for this incident, too?â 1
The more Selene thought about it, the angrier she was. âMaybe Vicky was the one who concocted this
plan with him. She mustâve coaxed Tyler to leave with her and let Isaac have the chance to follow you
back home! You know what kind of woman she is; sheâs good at coaxing with her beauty. Maybe sheâs
trying to change Tylerâs mind so Tyler wonât divorce her.â i
Gloria initially did not think much of that, but Seleneâs words struck her, and her expression darkened.
âAre you saying Vicky sent Isaac to follow me back home?â
âIsnât it obvious?â Selene wished she could crack open Gloriaâs mind to see what was inside. âDo you
really think that sicko pervert is Vickyâs boyfriend? Heâs so much beneath Tyler and Harvey. Heck, heâs
even worse than Alex and Sebastian. Do you think sheâd fall for a guy like him?â
Gloria did not say anything, but her gaze hardened.
20 minutes later, someone knocked on the door.
âIt must be Tyler,â muttered Selene, displeased. âGloria, donât forget to complain to Tyler!â
She got up and opened the door. âTyler, youâre hereâ¦â
Before Selene could finish, she saw Vicky next to Tyler.
Selene glowered as she shot Vicky an unfriendly look. âAnd why are you here, Vicky Shaw?â she
growled.
âIâm here to visit Gloria,â Vicky answered.
Selene blocked the door and said coldly, âWe donât welcome you! Get the hell out of here!â
Tylerâs eyes were cold. âYou should be the one who gets the hell away from here.â
Selen could not believe her ears as she looked at Tyler. âTyler, what⦠What do you mean? Donât tell
me youâre still thinking of protecting her now?â âWhy canât I protect her?â sneered Tyler. âShould I be
siding with you instead?â 1
Seleneâs face looked terrible as she screamed.
