“Noah…” Vicky muttered with resignation.
Though Tyler was hardly a great man, she could not help but marvel at how paranoid Noah was.
Noah studied the disbelief on her face and shook his head. “Ever since you broke up with him, I got a feeling that he was slowly going insane. I went and looked into his family background afterward, and I think…” He paused and glanced at Cece and Ava.
Cece took the hint and immediately pulled Ava to the side. “Miss Canyer, you can brief me through your requirements first.”
Ava glanced at Vicky curiously. “Does Noah know Miss Shaw?”
“Mister Canyer was Vicky’s senior back in school.”
Realization dawned on Ava. “I see.”
Noah dragged Vicky to the door and lowered his voice. “Vicky, listen to me. Leave now, or that lunatic… might just do something crazy again. You said that you lost your bag on the day when you were supposed to file for divorce. If you ask me, Tyler definitely has a hand in that. That so-called thief he captured is odd as well…”
Vicky wanted to argue but was instantly rendered speechless when she recalled what Tyler had done because Noah was absolutely right about everything.
When Vicky did not respond, Noah took it as a hint that she was wavering. “Before he plays some kind of trick to drag you home, you should hurry and go home now. Your man has the patience of a goldfish. If you upset him, he won’t spare you.”
Vicky remained calm. “Don’t worry, Noah. Gloria has just come out of surgery, so all his attention is on her. He doesn’t have the time to care about who I’m meeting with. So long as I don’t show up in front of Gloria or bother them, I’ll be fine.”
“Gloria?” Noah scowled. “What’s with her?”
Vicky hesitated for a moment, before explaining everything.
“… That’s pretty much what’s been happening.” She sighed. “I guess I am to blame for what happened. My phone ran out of battery when I was on the phone with Cece.”
“Vicky, Gloria means nothing to anyone. Why does she bother you so much?”
“I’m not bothered by her, but ever since she came back, Tyler has been taking extremely good care of her. He would go to every one of her concerts and has been seen going pretty much everywhere with Gloria. Besides…” She paused. “He has said yes to pretty much every request she made, and whenever something bad happens to her, he’d rush to her rescue immediately…”
The more examples Vicky gave, the more convinced she became that Gloria was special to Tyler.
“He’s using her as a distraction to numb you.” Noah rubbed the bridge of his nose. “From what I can see, he succeeded. Look at you… You’d rather believe that he cares about Gloria than believe that he’s a ruthless, cunning man.”
Vicky was a woman, while Noah was a man who had suffered a great deal at the hands of Tyler, so he knew what Tyler was plotting.
Vicky scowled. “But what’s so important for him to cause misunderstanding that he’s in love with another woman?”
“It’s just one lie, but he ends up covering it with more lies. You are right that it seems like it’s not worth all the trouble, but how would you know if he is hiding something else as well? How would you know if he is doing this on purpose to upset you or make you jealous? We don’t know anything, so anything is possible.”
“But Gloria…”
Noah did not bother himself over Gloria. “She only sees what she wants to see, and she overestimated her importance. Vicky, Tyler isn’t as loving as you imagine him to be. Truth is, he is cold, cruel, and great at manipulating people around him. I don’t know how he feels about you right now, but I want to remind you to make sure that he doesn’t resent you. You can’t bear the consequences of crossing someone like him.”
Due to the loss of her memories, she could not really understand what Noah meant.
