âVickyâs always been good at seducing men. She spends most of her time with them, calling everyone
her friend. Both of her best friends are guys who are in love with her⦠I think sheâs been seducing
them and has kept them hanging. Will she die if she doesnât have menâs attention for once? Why is she
so hungry for attention?â
Only Seleneâs voice could be heard from the room, and Gloria had not whispered a word in response.
When Selene heard the door opening, she paused and said to Gloria, âI think Harvey is here⦠Ha! Itâs
about time that Tyler knows heâs not your only option.â
She turned around to start complaining, âHarvey, come look at Gloria! While you were gone, Vicky
bullied Gloria with everything she could think of. Gloria saved your life once, so arenât you going to
make this right forââ
Before she could finish, she spotted Vicky standing behind Harvey and choked.
After a brief moment of silence, she jumped. âVicky Shaw, why are you here? I thought that youâ¦oh, I
see!â Realization dawned on her, and she pointed at Vicky while shouting, âGloria, I told you that she
wasnât in a car accident! Look at her. She is standing here, perfectly fine. There isnât even a scratch on
her!â
âCar accident?â Vicky scowled. âWhat are you talking about?â
âKeep up your act!â Selene turned to look at Gloria dramatically. âGloria, you believe me now, donât
you?â
Gloria did not say a word and simply glared at Vicky resentfully.
Harvey took a step forward to shield Vicky from Gloriaâs glare before asking, âGloria, how are you
feeling now?â
Gloria shot him a casual glance and said, âIâm fine.â
âHow long until youâll make a full recovery?â
âA week.â
âI heard that youâll be having another concert at the end of the month. I have time then, so Iâll be there
to support you.â
Gloria narrowed her eyes slightly and said, âYou say that now, but you might not make it on that day.
Besidesâ¦â She paused, and a half-smile appeared on her lips. âI remember that youâre least interested
in music, if anything. Youâd fall asleep if you listen to someone play, so whatâs with the sudden interest
in coming to my performance?â
The smile on her face was sarcastic as her tone took a sharp turn. âHarvey, are you just trying to make
small talk because you donât want me to bully your ex-fiance?â
Gloria had always been a gentle and polite woman, so she was rarely this aggressive. However, at this
moment, she was like a hedgehog that was under attack. Unable to control her emotions, she said,
âHarvey, donât tell me that youâre protecting this thief!â
âGloria, Vicky isnât a thief.â
Gloria smiled and continued in a frosty voice, âHarvey, have you gone blind for Vickyâs sake?â
Her words were overbearing and offensive at this point, and Selene could not help but glance at her in
silence.
She had never seen such a fierce side of Gloria in the past and realized that the series of misfortune
that occurred to Gloria had pushed her over to the edge.
Harvey frowned and was about to say something when Vicky, who remained quiet the entire time,
spoke out.
