“Disappointed?” Vicky’s eyes were crystal-clear as she smiled. “Aren’t you supposed to be happy? No matter how I take it, it’ll never belong to me. It’s time for me to return it to the rightful owner.”
With a different expression, Gloria said, “If you don’t harbor a grudge, why did you stab Tyler? You should know he didn’t do anything wrong to you. It was you who has been hurting him. I know you’ve forgotten everything, but that won’t change what has happened.”
“Are you fighting for him?”
“No matter what grudges you have, you shouldn’t have hurt someone with a knife,” she said, her tone adamant. “Vicky, no matter what, he is still your husband.”
“What you see is not necessarily the truth.” Vicky could not be bothered to explain in detail and instead said, “He’s still my husband, yes, so as my cousin, it’s inappropriate for you to interfere with our marriage.”
Gloria’s eyes bore into Vicky’s and said, “Vicky Shaw. Tyler isn’t a tool for you to have your revenge.”
Vicky furrowed her brow. This was not the first time she heard this from Gloria. The last time, Gloria had said the same thing when Tyler was sent to the hospital after she stabbed him.
“Do you think I’m using him to have my revenge on you?” Vicky asked.
“Are you not?” Gloria smiled faintly. “The boy you liked confessed his love to me. Ever since then, you’ve been imitating me, insistent that you must have everything I have, even wearing the same clothes as I did… If I’m close with a guy, you’d try to get close to him too.”
Even when she was a student then, she did not have much interest in having a relationship. More often, she preferred to be alone. Over these years, the only guys she was close with were just Harvey and Tyler.
“Why would you become Harvey’s fiancee when he was pursuing me? And how do you explain why you ended up marrying Tyler in the end?” Gloria questioned.
There was no way Vicky could explain…or maybe the truth was just what Gloria said-that she stole everything from her due to jealousy.
Gloria looked at her and said, “I won’t ruin your marriage. You can either continue to be with Tyler or have a divorce. I don’t care. But there’s one thing you mustn’t do, and that is to hurt Tyler.”
“Who are you to be telling me this?” Vicky asked.
“A friend,” Gloria answered.
Vicky said faintly, “Don’t you think you’re way over the boundary to be a friend to come and tell me these things?”
Gloria held her breath.
Vicky looked away. “Did you bring me here to talk about this? Do you still want to discuss your outfit for your performance?”
Obviously, Vicky was unwilling to talk more with Gloria. Just as Gloria wanted to say something else, Tyler walked in after finishing talking on the phone. Gloria had no choice but to discuss her outfit.
Neither of them was aggressive like they were minutes ago, and neither of them mentioned anything about what they just talked about.
Around 40 minutes later, someone knocked on the door. Gloria went to open the door.
In came the smiling Selene. “Gloria, you said you were going to practice here for two hours. I was just in the area, so I thought of coming over to visit you.”
She looked and there she saw Tyler in the room. Immediately, her smile faltered. “Oh no, this doesn’t seem to be the right time for me to visit. Nevermind! I just remember
I have something else to do. I’ll get going, then…”
Gloria grabbed her from leaving. “Selene, Tyler is bringing me to meet with Maestro Warner today.”
Selene’s eyes sparkled. “Are you referring to the Maestro Warner I’m thinking of?”
