Tyler gave Vicky a very faint response. âI donât know.â
Vickyâs question came while she was deliberating on what happened with Gloria and Isaac, and she did
not expect Tyler to know the answer because he did not know Isaac at all. Therefore, he could not have
known who incapacitated Isaac so gruesomely.
Back to Gloriaâs apartment.
Gloria stood still as she watched Tyler drop her off. She gazed as the car drove off and remained in
that position for a long time.
Seeing this, Selene said, âWhy didnât you ask him to stay if you miss him so much? The reason you
ended up like now is that he left you halfway through the dinner⦠He should be the one to bear this
responsibility!â
The taillight of the car disappeared into the dark night. Finally, Gloria stopped looking in that direction.
âResponsibility?â She smiled sardonically. âDidnât you see how eager he was to get rid of me?â
âGloria, Iâm not going to let you think that way. If it wasnât because of Vicky that b*tch, you and Tyler
wouldâve been together by now. If she didnât take your place in the first place, she wouldnât stand a
chance of being Tylerâs wife. Besides, you know Tyler cares about you. He came immediately knowing
something bad happened to you. I think Vickyâ¦â 2
She continued with a disdainful tone, âIâm sure she insisted on following Tyler when she saw Tyler was
going out to see you.â
Gloria did not react to what Selene said. Instead, she asked, â Did you see it?â
Selene did not know what Gloria was asking. âSee what?â
âThereâs a scratch mark on the back of Tylerâs hand,â Gloria said sadly. âIt wasnât there when he had
dinner with me tonightâ¦â
Upon hearing that, something struck Selene. âI think I saw a mark on Vickyâs neck⦠Oh my god.â
Seleneâs eyes widened. âDid theyâ¦Did they justâ¦â
They were both grown adults and knew what happened.
âWhy is Vicky such a sl*t? Tyler is divorcing her, and she⦠She stillâ¦. Is she addicted to ruining other
peopleâs relationships? Hey, Gloria, Iâm sure she mustâve seduced Tyler with purpose just to let Isaac
take the opportunity to assault you! Sheâs so evil! Donât go soft on her anymore! You must tell Tyler the
truth!â
Gloria smiled faintly, disconcerted. âIf Tyler truly wanted to get to the bottom of this, he wouldâve
questioned Vicky about it just now. No matter how much I tell him, he isnât going to believe me.â
âSo are we just going to let Vicky continue her way?â Selene grumbled.
Gloria lowered her head and said nothing.
âWait! We can go find Harvey!â Seleneâs eyes sparkled. âEven if Tyler isnât going to care about you,
Harvey wonât do that to you.â
âHarvey?â Gloria shook her head. âHarvey felt sorry and guilty for Vicky because he was asked to
choose. I know Harvey will make a move if this involves Vicky. Andâ¦â
Selene asked curiously, âAnd what?â
What Gloria was going to say was that if Harvey truly cared about her, he would not have helped Vicky
to investigate Selene. He would not have told Vicky the result before informing her.
The next day, Vicky went to her studio.
âVicky, youâre here!â Cece greeted.
Vicky noticed Cece was in a good mood, so she asked, â Did something happen? Why are you so
happy?â
Cece quickly passed the list of customers to Vicky. âI donât know if Selene and Gloriaâs clarification post
worked, but the customers who canceled their orders with us called back to resume their orders. And
those male customers whom we were engaging to cancel their order called us too. They were willing to
cancel their orders without asking for any compensation!â
A lot of the time, Vicky needed to liaise with her customers. She knew exactly how hard it was to deal
with them. Knowing these customers agreed to cancel their orders and did not ask for any
compensation wasâ¦
