“Is it because…you don’t want to see how much Vicky…cares about me? Tyler, do you think I don’t know about…that little thought in your mind? Other people might not figure it out… but not me… I know everything about it. You’re a lunatic… A twisted, cynical pervert. Vicky likes a righteous and just man … Knowing who you truly are…she’ll never ever like you again …” hissed Alex, despite being choked.
When Alex was nearly out of his breath and suffocated, Tyler finally let go.
Tyler was back to his usual distant, indifferent self.
“Ugh… Ack, ack!” Alex breathed in heavily.
Tyler looked down at Alex condescendingly. In his fitted formal suit, he looked utterly prestigious and supreme. What a big difference when compared to Alex, who had been tortured and who was in bad shape.
After Alex was able to breathe normally, Alex looked at Tyler’s handsome, cold face. “Why did you stop? You want to kill me, don’t you? Don’t tell me you’re afraid!”
There was no expression on Tyler’s face. He remained calm as usual.
“Alex, there’s no use trying to provoke me. And…” A contemptuous look flashed through his face. He said faintly, “Those who have a brain will think of a way to live. Those without a brain will only provoke his enemy.”
“It doesn’t matter whether or not I have a brain. You didn’t kill me, right?”
“Killing you is only going to dirty my hand.” Tyler took out a sanitizing clean wipe to wipe his hand slowly. The level of detail he wiped his hand was just like a man suffering from severe obsessive-
compulsive disorder.
After he cleaned his hand, he looked at Alex once more.
“Do you think you’re that loyal and amazing? Did you not care if you’re going to lose your life and sacrifice everything just to help the woman you like?” he asked.
Alex did not answer the question, but his expression was more than enough of an answer to him.
Tyler sneered, “Do you know what Vicky did to beg me to let you go? She disregarded her dignity and even used her body and beauty to beg me.”
Alex’s expression froze.
Tyler looked down at him and said, “Now, do you still feel proud?”
Alex was at a loss for words.
Vicky was there when Tyler commanded someone to break his leg. She was humiliated and insulted when she begged Tyler to let go of him.
Alex knew Vicky did not have any feelings for him, but she treated him like a true friend. Yes, he admitted he liked Vicky, but he did not sacrifice everything just because he liked her. Most of it was because they had known each other since they were kids.
That went the same even at present.
He had no complaints or regrets even when Tyler tortured him badly because of Vicky. As a matter of fact, he could not tell the difference between whether he helped her because he liked her, or because they had been friends for ages. No matter which reason it was, be it only one of these or both, it did not matter.
Hearing that from Tyler, his flame went out immediately just because Vicky had to go through all the humiliations and insults trying to save him. He did not want to see how Vicky begged just to save him.
He looked crushed.
“How is she now?”
Tyler said indifferently, “She went to find Gloria.”
Alex looked at him with shock. “Why did she do that?”
Tyler curled up his thin lips, yet his eyes were so cold like the winter snow. “There are just a couple of cards left in her hand. Since she can’t escape me, she can only use the remaining cards in her hand.”
That explained everything for Alex. Weirdly, he had a hard time breathing even when no one was choking him.
“She… She’s giving you to Gloria?”
Having grown up with Vicky, he could feel how upset Vicky was when she decided to leave Tyler four years ago. It was not because she did not love Tyler, but…she was still deeply in love with him.
