As for what Tyler mentioned about the later events, he only told the truth, and Vicky could not argue
with his logic.
After a long silence, she said, âTyler, I canât just stay home or live by your side every breathing moment.
I have my own life. If you are that worried that Gloria might get hurt, thereâs no point in wasting time on
me. After all, there might be others who want to hurt her. If you are that worried about her, you should
stay by her side to protect her instead.â
Vicky was slightly upset that Tyler cared so much about Gloria, and it was a bitterness she had never
felt when she misunderstood the relationship between Sheila and Tyler.
Gloria was different because she was Tylerâs first love.
He would rather stay away from Gloria than allow Vicky any chance to harm Gloria, and such
thoughtfulness filled Vickyâs heart with envy.
Just as she was absorbed in her thoughts, Tyler warned fiercely, âVicky, Iâm warning you. If something
happens to Gloria again before she gets discharged, I wonât spare you.â
Vickyâs heart sank, and she said coldly, âFine. If something bad happens to her, you can come at me all
you want.â
Vicky never expected that her words would come true soon and that Gloria would truly be in trouble.
With that, Vicky did not even stay for breakfast and left with her purse.
As the mansion door shut behind her and her figure disappeared from Tylerâs sight, his expression
darkened.
He picked up his phone and made a call. âAlex Torres has been locked up for long enough. Itâs time to
set him free,â he said.
â¦
Vicky and Cece arrived at a certain mansion as per the clientâs request.
A young, beautiful woman sat on a couch inside the mansion and chatted with another man.
âNoah, Stoneford City is impressive. Even designers here are far more talented than the ones from
where we come from. A few days ago, a friend of mine introduced a fashion designer to me, and her
design styles are just eye-opening⦠Iâll check with them and see if they design clothes for men as well
so that they can design something for you as well. Oh, I have a party to attend tomorrow, and I need a
date. I can rely on you, right?â
âAva, invite someone else. Iâve been accompanying you to all sorts of parties for a whole week, and my
cats are losing weight because no one would feed them.â
Avaâs lips twitched. âJust say you donât want to come, and stop using your cats as an excuse. Youâd
keep bringing your cats up whenever youâre looking for an excuse to get away. Anyone can tell that
youâre lyingâ¦â
Just then, Vicky and Cece entered the mansion alongside the servant.
âMiss Canyer, weâre the designers that you have hired. Iâm Vicky Shaw, and this is my assistant, Cece
Lynnâ¦â
Before Vicky could finish, Noah gasped.
âVâVâVicky?!â
Vicky turned and spotted Noah with surprise. âNoah?â
A helpless look instantly appeared on Noahâs face. âItâs over. Tyler is going to come after me again.â
He shot Vicky a sympathetic look and said, âVicky, you should leave right now. If Tyler finds out that we
met, his imagination might run wild again, and we will both be doomed!â
