Vicky sat on the passengerâs seat and stared out the window dazedly in exhaustion.
She wondered how Gloria was doing and worried that Alex might injure Gloria again, as Tyler would not
let him go after only breaking his legs.
Tyler had only agreed to set Alex free because he wanted a divorce. Vicky knew that Alex was doomed
for challenging Tyler repeatedly.
Just as she contemplated how she could protect Alex, her phone rang, and she noticed that it was a
call from Alex.
She answered, âAlex?â
âVicky, bad news!â Alex said in panic.
She straightened her back. âWhat happened?â
âA group of people I canât recognize came and took Gloria awayâ¦â
There seemed to be a lot of noise with a few sounds of gunshots on Alexâs side.
Vicky tightened her fingers around her phone. âAlex, who took Gloria?â
âI donât know!â Alex blurted out. âVicky, itâs dangerous over here. Donât come here! Alsoââ
Before Alex could finish, a loud noise was heard on his end, and the call ended abruptly.
Vicky hastily tried to call him back, but he could no longer be reached.
Meanwhile, Alex glared warily at the handsome man strolling toward him.
âYou!â
The man shot him a casual smile. âWhat an honor to know that you remember me, Mister Torres.â
Alex scanned him up and down with a sneer. âTyler Hart might be evil, but youâre just as bad! I hate
him, but when compared to you, Vicky is better off with him.â
Confused, Harvey asked, âWhy so?â
âI was overseas back when Vicky was engaged to you, but Iâve heard a lot about you. Both Tyler and
you were fawning over that woman, Gloria. Tyler wronged Vicky for Gloriaâs sake, whereas you⦠You
wronged Vicky for both Gloria and your sister. Itâs a good thing that Vicky dumped you. Had she truly
married you, your sister wouldâve bullied her to death!â Alex said in contempt.
Harvey was not offended and smiled. âWhat else?â
âIsnât that enough?â Alex stared at him in disgust. âAlso, Iâve kidnapped Gloria for Vickyâs sake. Tyler
hasnât even gotten here and youâre already here to rescue Gloria. You have no pride!â
Harvey shook his head. âAlex, itâs true that Iâm here to save Gloria, but Iâm only doing so to save you
and Vicky.â
âSave me and Vicky?â Alex burst out laughing. âHarvey, can you at least find a better excuse? Do you
take me for a fool?â
Realization dawned on Harvey. âThis is how you get Vicky into trouble over and over again, isnât it?â
âIâm getting her in trouble?â Alex pointed at himself in disbelief. âHow dare you accuse me of that?!
Harvey Sparks, have you gone mad?â
âItâs bad enough that you are making a mess, but to drag Vicky into your mess⦠Alex, can you think
with that brain of yours for once?â Harvey asked in resignation.
