âAbout your birth.â
Tyler scanned her expression and asked, âWhat else?â
âThatâs all.â
âAre you sure?â
âWhat exactly are you implying?â Vicky frowned. âIs there some kind of secret you donât want Old
Mister Hart to tell me?â
Tyler shot her a half-smile. âSecrets? I figuredâ¦that you know just as much as I do.â
She felt chills down her spine at the thought that he might have noticed that she had regained her
memories. âWhat do you mean?â
He stared at her unblinkingly. âYouâve met Gloria, havenât you?â
Vicky relaxed slightly but tensed again in the next moment. â⦠No.â
âSheâs been rescued just now.â
On their way home, Tyler answered a phone call that lasted only for a few moments. He said a simple
âalrightâ before hanging up.
âWas that a phone call informing him that Gloria was taken away?â she thought.
âI thought you said that she went away to be alone. Why would I see her anywhere?â Vicky asked
calmly.
âDonât think that no one would know what happened so long as you cut off the surveillance cameras
and erase your track, Vicky.â His eyes darkened to the point that there was no light in them. âDid you
think that I wonât know where youâd been if you left the bracelet at home?â
Vickyâs heart sank, knowing that Tyler must have found out about what she did.
âFine. I did go there and I did see Gloria, but why would you lie to me to begin with? Donât tell me that
you were keeping her there as your lover.â
âThe hospital canât deal with her depression, so I have to,â he said calmly.
âAnd that requires locking her up?â
âYou know how frequently she gets abducted. Sheâs unstable; she could wander off and get kidnapped
again if I donât lock her up.â
Had Vicky not seen how Gloria was âtreatedâ, she would have believed in Tylerâs explanation.
âIf thatâs the case, is there a difference between her being treated by you or Harvey?â
âThereâs no difference at all.â
She stared into his eyes. âSo it doesnât really matter to you whether Iâve met with her or not, does it?â
âThatâs right.â
Vicky relaxed slightly, but he then added, âI donât care that you met Gloria and informed Harvey about
it. Iâm just curious as to how you found her. Who erased the surveillance footage for you and got you off
that bracelet?â
â⦠Who else can help me here in Stoneford City apart from Alex and Harvey?â she spoke.
Alex had been captured by Tyler, so Harvey was the only one who could help her.
âIt wasnât Harvey.â Tyler smiled coldly. âI know what heâs capable of. Besides, he hasnât sent his men to
search for Gloria at all, so how can he happen upon that place?â
Vickyâs lashes fluttered. âYou caught Alex, and when Harvey found that mansion, he thought that it was
Alex who was locked in thereâ¦â
âHarvey might not be that much of a man, but heâs helped you multiple times and was your fiance once.
Donât you think itâs cruel of you to blame it all on him when someone else is responsible?â Tyler
seemed to have recalled something unpleasant, and his expression darkened. âVicky, do you just kick
people out of your life as soon as they are of no use to you?â
Startled by the look in his eyes, Vicky backed away, and Tyler was instantly provoked by her action.
