It did not seem to be an appropriate question for Vicky to ask as Tyler broke Alex’s legs because of her.
Asking about it seemed like rubbing salt in Alex’s wound, but not asking about it would make her seem heartless…and she truly did want to know if he had recovered.
Alex smiled casually. “With modern technology, I’ve recovered a lot of time ago.”
In truth, he had just recently recovered because Tyler had beaten his legs with such brute force that he came close to being bound to a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
His family had traveled all around the world in search of skilled doctors and finally managed to cure him some time ago. He would have never waited so long before coming back to rescue Vicky.
Vicky stared at him. “Really?”
“Of course. When have I ever lied to you?”
She relaxed. “Where is Gloria? I want to see her.”
Since Tyler had already been informed, Vicky realized that she would need to think of something else.
“Come on, then. I’ll take you to her,” said Alex.
He led her out of the room and arrived at another room where the lights were dimmed.
Gloria was tied to a chair with tape over her lips. Her hair was ruffled and both her cheeks were swollen with faint palm prints on them.
Gloria, who used to be elegant, seemed extremely discomfited.
She widened her eyes in disbelief and started to move as she made muffled screams when she saw Vicky walking into the room with Alex.
“And who are you glaring at, Gloria Shaw? I’ll gouge those eyes out!” Alex said sharply.
Gloria ignored him and continued to glare at Vicky.
After a few moments of silence, Vicky whispered, “Let’s at least remove the tape on her mouth.”
Alex had always been obedient to Vicky and glanced at his subordinate. “Take the tape off.”
Once the tape was removed, Gloria could finally talk. “You did this, Vicky?!” She stared at Vicky. “You resent me for keeping you out of the house and making you sick that day, huh? This is how you get back at me, is that it?”
Alex’s expression darkened. “So you caused Vicky to come down with a fever and end up in a hospital?!” He glared at Gloria in disgust. “You again! You’re a disgusting hypocrite! You partnered with that crazy Sparks woman and framed Vicky time and time again all those years ago. Heh! I guess a b*tch will always be-” >
He paused and recalled that Gloria was Vicky’s cousin.
‘If I call Gloria a b*tch, what does that leave Vicky?’ he thought and swiftly changed his words.
“I guess a tiger can’t change its stripes.”
Vicky opened her mouth to speak when one of Alex’s men came in. Mister Torres, Tyler Hart is here.”
