Tyler grabbed Vicky's wrist tightly and turned to leave. When Vicky's feet landed on the ground, however, the pain from her sprained ankle became even more intolerable.
All of a sudden, someone grabbed Vicky's other hand.
Tyler stopped walking and looked back at Mister Kirby. Seeing his hand grabbing onto Vicky's other hand, he snarled, "Let go of her."
Mister Kirby smiled as if he did not give a sh*t about what Tyler said. "I should be the one saying that."
Tyler proudly stared back at him. "Do you think you have the right to say that?"
Mister Kirby scoffed. "It's not up to you to say that. The most important thing is…what Vicky thinks."
He averted his gaze from Tyler and stared at Vicky, saying softly, "Vicky, do you want to go with him?"
Vicky glanced over at Sheila, who was standing not far away from them. 'They came out from this restaurant. I bet they were eating together, and Tyler must've taken the chance to tell Sheila I got locked up to please her.'
She put on a straight face and turned to look at Mister Kirby instead of Tyler. "My ankle is sprained. Can you please send me to the hospital?"
Mister Kirby looked very pleased with the answer. "You don't have to be so polite with me."
Tyler was amused to see how close Vicky and Mister Kirby were. "Vicky Shaw, don't tell me you're running back to this guy again."
It felt ironic and insulting to Vicky as she furrowed her brow uncomfortably. "Tyler, stop judging other people's relationships based on your assumptions. Mister Kiby and I are just friends. No one ever created a rumor about us nor had we ever displayed public affection."
"Mister Kirby?" Tyler squinted. "You're taking his side? A man who has to fake his identity and give you to another man like you were a pet?"
Tyler's hand tightened around Vicky's wrist as he, looking into Mister Kirby's eyes, continued, "Am I right…Harvey Sparks?"
