Chapter 595
As a man, Harvey knew Tyler and was quite certain that the man would never let Vicky go after what happened the time before.
Vicky did not say a word.
She knew she could seek Harvey’s help with ordinary favors, but since novelxo Gloria was involved, she would be putting Harvey in a difficult position if she asked for Harvey’s help.
Vicky was not upset by the thought that Harvey would prioritize Gloria over her. She was only Harvey’s ex-fiance, while Gloria was the woman who saved his life, so it made sense that she was different.
“You once mentioned that Gloria saved your life before… novëlxo What happened?” Vicky asked.
“I told you about it before, but since you’ve forgotten all about it now, I can tell the story again.” Harvey’s voice was gentle and malicious in the quiet night. “The Sparks’ influence used to extend throughout Molivia, where there were plenty of business opportunities, but the environment there has always been chaotic. The country still has riots frequently as of now.”
Vicky’s eyes widened. “Molivia?”
“Yeah. novelxo That’s where you and Gloria went to study back then…and that’s where I ran into Gloria. I was betrayed by my men and found myself in grave danger. I barged into the backstage of a musical concert when I was on the run. When I showed up drenched in blood, Gloria was terrified and thought that I was some kind of psychopathic murderer, so she knocked me out. By the time I woke up,
I was all patched up, and she said that she only saved me because she was worried that she might’ve killed me… She took care of me novëlxo throughout that period, and we slowly got to know each other.”
Vicky nodded. “So that’s how you fell in love with Gloria?”
Harvey remained quiet for a few moments and novelx.o did not answer the question directly. “I pursued Gloria for a time and proposed to marry her, but she never agreed.”
He had not pursued Gloria for long.
Vicky turned to look at Harvey. “Is that why you got engaged with me instead?”
“It was just an accident.” He glanced at her with a thoughtful look. “Vicky, will you believe it if I say that you were the one who pursued me?’
She froze. “What? I…pursued you?”
He chuckled. “I went to the Shaws to make a marriage proposal, and Gloria turned me down mercilessly. When I was about to leave, you stopped me on my track and said that if it’s just a political marriage, it doesn’t matter which Shaw I marry. You said that if Gloria wasn’t willing to marry me, novëlxo you can take her place.”
Vicky silently considered the time and realized that it must have not been over half a year since she broke up with Tyler when she started pursuing another man.
‘Am I really the selfish, heartless woman Gloria describes me to be?* Vicky thought as she sank into self-doubt.
Harvey glanced at her again with a smile. “I could tell that you were running from something and you didn’t actually like me. I was amused and told you that I loved another. You said that we can get married and you wouldn’t interfere with my private life, but I turned you down anyway.”
Vicky was not surprised that Harvey would turn down her proposal. ‘But what made you say yes afterward?”
“You kept bothering me afterward, and even Gloria found out that you were pursuing me.” A dazed look appeared in Harvey’s eyes. “One day, I was racing cars when you found me and went on with another grand speech of yours…”
Vicky had mentioned she would not interfere with his private life and they could sign an agreement; she even mentioned that he could have lovers outside of the marriage.
Vicky appeared extremely anxious at the time as novelx.o though something was chasing after her.
“To make you give up, I suggested that I’d agree if you win my friend in a race.”
“Did I…actually win?” she asked.
