Chapter 564
Tyler pulled Vicky into a certain room and said, “Go get a shower.”
Vicky had regained her composure and dared not to disobey, so she kept her head lowered and headed into the bathroom to shower.
She was not in the mood for a bubble bath, but she did not want to face Tyler so soon and purposefully stalled.
40 minutes later, Vicky walked outside in a bathing robe. Tyler had showered as well by then.
He was standing by the window and speaking into his phone. “Has she woken up? How is she now? Yeah. Probably at night.” After a few words, he ended the call and turned to find Vicky standing behind him.
“How is…Gloria?” she asked.
“She’s awake.”
“… Good.”
“I thought you’d prefer that she never wakes up,” Tyler said sarcastically.
After a few moments of silence, Vicky said, “If she never wakes up, Alex and L.are pretty much doomed.” She frowned and continued, “How is Alex now?”
A cold expression took over Tyler’s face. “That depends on what you do.”
Vicky looked at him. “What do you mean?”
“It’ll be a waste to not make good use of him.” He shot her a half-smile. “If you want him to live, you know what to do.”
She paled as she immediately realized he meant to use Alex to keep her under control. As long as Alex was at Tyler’s mercy, she would have no choice but to obey Tyler even if he wanted to break her legs.
Her lashes fluttered as she knew this was simply one of the many ways he had to torture her.
“What can I do…for you to let him go?”
The rain outside had not ceased, and the room remained gloomy.
Tyler stood by the window, blocking what little light there was. His figure was tall and slender in a devilish manner.
“Who did this?” he asked.
“Me,” Vicky blurted out. “I ordered Alex to-“
He interrupted her and said, “If you continue to lie, I’ll destroy his legs once and for all.” He narrowed his eyes coldly as though he had everything under control.
Her heart sank as she swallowed her words. Feeling helpless, she closed her eyes and said, “I didn’t know about this. I just have no proof to prove that I’m not involved and I didn’t want Alex to take all the blame, so…I said that I was
the one who pulled the strings.”
Though Alex’s actions were questionable, he did it all for Vicky. She could not possibly leave him to die.
She opened her eyes and looked at Tyler pleadingly. “Let Alex go. He never meant to hurt Gloria. He just-“
He interrupted her once again, “What did you do last night?”
Vicky paused and answered right away, “Nothing. We didn’t do anything.”
“Did he touch you?”
“… No.”
He scanned her up and down before uttering, “Strip, then.”
