On the day of the party, Vicky arrived punctually.
The venue was full of people conversing with one another.
Vicky roamed around the well-dressed guests. She had no idea why Gloria asked her to join the party, but it had been a long time since she last saw Tyler. It would be worth it if she could see Tyler here.
After walking around the venue, she did not find either Tyler or Gloria. Guessing they might not arrive yet, she found a quiet corner and waited patiently.
About 10 minutes or so later, an uproar occurred at the entrance. Sensing something, Vicky looked in that direction.
A tall, lean man walked in with a young, beautiful lady. The man wore an entirely black suit that emphasized his lean and muscular body, giving him an undeniable gentlemanly aura.
The lady beside him had a very pretty and classical look. Dressed up in a moon-white color gown, she looked like a goddess from heaven.
In this era where everyone could look beautiful with makeup and plastic surgery, the lady’s beauty was a breath of fresh air. Her look was refreshing and special.
They attracted everyone’s attention when they walked in. No one cared why Tyler changed her woman as they walked up
and greeted them. Some had never seen Vicky before and thought Gloria was Tyler’s wife and complimented her.
“Missus Hart, you’re so beautiful and elegant. Mister Hart has good taste!”
Gloria squeezed her eyebrows lightly and thought of clearing the misunderstanding. However, the socialites gathered and surrounded her while they did not shy away from showering her with compliments.
Vicky saw what happened from afar. She thought of going over but remained where she was. After much thinking, she took out her phone and texted Gloria.
It took quite a long time before she received a reply from Gloria.
A few minutes later, Gloria showed up in the garden. Getting straight to the point, she passed a small bottle with an unspecified liquid to Vicky.
“This…”
“I’ll arrange for you to meet with Tyler later,” Gloria said faintly. “Find a chance and let Tyler drink this.”
“What is this?”
“It doesn’t matter. Most importantly…” She looked at Vicky.” I have a way to help you save Alex.”
Vicky did not accept the bottle. “If you’re not going to tell me what’s inside, I won’t agree.”
Gloria’s eyes wavered. “What’s wrong? You were daring enough to stab Tyler a few times…and you’re afraid I’ll hurt him now?”
“Yes. I don’t trust you.”
This, however, did not infuriate Gloria. She laughed instead.” I’m sure you know my feelings for Tyler.”
Vicky did not reply.
Gloria continued, “I’m different from Sheila. Once he sleeps with me, he’s not going to pretend nothing happened. If you’re not his wife anymore, there’s no reason for him to hurt Alex. At that time, you can choose to be with any man you want-be it Harvey, Sebastian, or Alex.”
Vicky was irked by Gloria’s choice of words. Regardless, she looked at her beautiful face and said, “I’m surprised you’d make such a request.”
“Surprise?” Gloria frowned slightly.
“Yes. Although I don’t remember much about you, you don’t look like a person who’d do such things.”
Gloria smiled coldly. “Well, I used to recall you weren’t such a shameless person too, yet you threw yourself at Tyler at his bed still.”
Vicky was unprovoked. “Did you bring me here just so we’d dwell on the past?”
“The past is in the past,” Gloria said faintly. “There’s no meaning in talking about it when you don’t remember anything, so let’s talk about our situation now.”
She stirred the bottle in her hand. “It’s up to you whether or not you’ll accept it. I’m not going to threaten you. I’ve told you about my purpose too. If you’re no longer his wife, he has no reason to hurt Alex. It’s just that simple.”
Vicky looked at the bottle in Gloria’s hand and felt like she was stuck in a difficult situation.
In the past, she had once pushed Sheila to Tyler’s bed in an attempt to get a divorce from Tyler. Perhaps she did not feel that bad at the time because she knew nothing was going to happen between Sheila and Tyler.
