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 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... 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
Harvey smiled. "Not only did you win, but you also did so gloriously. My friend instantly announced that he wanted to date you." A faint smugness appeared in Harvey's tone. "But you were fixated on me and turned him down right away.""..." After a while, Vicky asked hesitantly, "Are you sure I could race?""Why would I lie to you?""It's not like you haven't lied to me before."Harvey cleared his throat awkwardly and changed the subject. "Both you and Gloria were from a powerful family with great fame, so I thought that you'd be the stereotypical, elegant lady like Gloria. That's why I proposed for you to race my friend."Driving and racing were two different things, and a girl with Vicky's background would often view car racing as a barbaric hobby. Gloria had once shown contempt for the sport when Harvey brought it up in the past."I didn't even know I could do that..." muttered Vicky."I was shocked as well and asked you about it. You said that you went through a rebellious st
The person who got out of the car was Tyler, and Gloria was sitting in the passenger's seat in his car, looking pale and startled.Tyler proposed to send her home, but by coincidence, their path crossed with Harvey.Harvey was not driving fast and ran into a few red lights on the way, so Tyler's car caught up to Harvey right away.Tyler and Gloria were both quiet people and rarely talked when they were alone.Gloria had been observing the look on Tyler's face along the way, but there was no hint of emotion on his expression at all, and he drove steadily until Harvey stepped on the brake out of the blue.It was not Tyler's problem that Harvey stepped on the brake all of a sudden, but for some reason, Tyler did not attempt to slow down and ran his car right into Harvey's car.The moment their cars crashed, Gloria’s heart stopped.Tyler went out to check on his car and said, "So it's Mister Sparks." A contemptuous look appeared on his face. "I once heard that Mister Sparks is a ski
"Mister Sparks, you tried to avoid the blame, and now you're in a hurry to leave. Can it be that..." Tyler narrowed his eyes dangerously. "You're trying to run from bearing the responsibility?"Harvey chuckled darkly as he studied Tyler. "Tyler, when have you become so sloppy? You might as well just come right out and say you don't want me to send Vicky home."The look in Tyler's eyes darkened.Harvey glanced at the time and knew that despite how late it was, Tyler might just stall until the next morning until he got what he wanted.Harvey did not mind that, but both Vicky and Gloria needed rest and could not waste time on such a meaningless stand-off.Vicky seemed exhausted and was on the brink of collapsing, and as an adult, Harvey could not possibly waste everyone's time just to win against Tyler.He turned to look at Gloria and said, "Gloria, I'll send you home later."Gloria glanced at Tyler, and her heart sank when she saw the lack of response on his face.She was a smart
Tyler kept his gaze straight ahead and mocked, "You drove just as fast when you were running after Harvey. You weren't scared back then, so why start now?"Vicky could not help but feel guilty at his mention of the past. "I'm older now, and I am...not interested in this sort of thing anymore."Tyler did not speak and simply increased the speed of the car.After they narrowly dodge a car ahead of them, Vicky wiped the sweat on her forehead."Are you this scared of dying?" he sneered. "I'm not scared at all, so why are you?"Indeed, Tyler was the king of a gigantic business empire, and his life was worth far more compared to a nobody like Vicky."Tyler." Vicky tried her best not to look at the speed indicator. "If you agree to let Alex and Jenifer go, and stop the accusation toward Cece, I'll do whatever you want."His expression remained cold. "You don't even sound half as sincere as you were back in Forever Night."Her breath caught in her throat as she paled.What happened in
The next day, Vicky received a call from Harvey after breakfast."Vicky, I found the person who wrote the post on the internet."Vicky straightened her back. "Who was it?"Harvey hesitated and said, "Selene Rathborne.""Selene..." Vicky murmured. "So it's her."Vicky was not surprised as Selene was the only one who had what it took to frame Cece apart from Gloria.When Vicky went to meet Gloria about the dresses, Selene was present as well. Considering how close Selene was to Gloria, it should not be difficult for her to steal the drafts.An idea formed in Vicky's mind, and she asked, "Harvey, can you help me with something else?""Sure," he said with a smile.She lowered her voice. "I took part in a party some time ago. I want to know if Selene was there as well. Also, I need you to check a certain room to see if someone else had gone inside before I did."Though Selene was Gloria's friend, Harvey did not seem keen on protecting her, or he would have never told Vicky the tru
Gloria scowled at Vicky and questioned coldly, "Vicky, what do you think you're doing?""Why don't you ask your bestie here?" Vicky retorted.Gloria turned to look at Selene. "Selene, what's going on?""I don't know! Gloria, you saw everything. I was just minding my own business and Vicky just barged in here to bully me... She's probably upset that you're getting closer to Tyler and is venting her anger on me."Vicky sneered at her pretenses. "I'm venting my anger on you? As if you're worthy of my time at all." She walked over to grab Selene by the wrist. "Delete your post right now and make a public statement explaining the truth!"Selene panicked at her words as she knew what she had done.She was not worried that Vicky might find out because she was targeting Cece instead of Vicky, and it was unlikely for Tyler to punish her over an assistant.As for drugging Tyler, Selene made sure to leave no trace behind, so not even Gloria knew what happened. Vicky could not have possibly
"Selene!" Gloria hurried over to help Selene up. "Selene, are you okay?"Tears welled in Selene's eyes. "I'm fine, Gloria... Ow! It hurts."Gloria noticed that there were scratches on Selene's arms and that she had twisted her ankle during the fall."Vicky Shaw!" Gloria, who had always remained composed, finally snapped. "It's bad enough that you keep coming at me, but why would you hurt my friend? Why do you always have to be so vicious? Come at me if you have a problem with me!"Vicky snapped out of it and glanced at the angered look on Gloria's face before turning to study the pathetic expression on Selene's face with a sneer. "She had it coming."Gloria jolted in shock as she did not expect Vicky to say such a thing.After Vicky had burned her arm, Gloria was furious but did not press any charges against Vicky as her hands were alright.She could understand Vicky’s hostility toward her, but she refused to tolerate any act of violence toward her friends.Gloria helped Selene
