"Are you going to cling to him again?" Gloria glared at Vicky coldly with a contemptuous look on her face. "Vicky, what gives you the right to be in Tyler's presence after all that you've done?"
"Do I need your permission to see Tyler now?" Vicky asked.
Gloria froze. "Are you saying that I don't have the right to do that?"
"Gloria, this is between me and Tyler. It doesn't matter how upset you are about this, but you don't get to decide what happens."
Vicky circled past Gloria and was about to go after Tyler.
"Vicky Shaw!" Gloria grabbed her by the wrist. "I only let you have Tyler because I thought you must love him if you're willing to go through so much trouble to marry him, but now I know you won't ever treat him right, so I'm not going to hand him over to you again."
Gloria's grip was firm, and her nails began to dig into Vicky's flesh without her noticing. She stared into Vicky's eyes and added, "Vicky, you've already divorced Tyler. I won't let you bother him again."
This was the first time Gloria had ever spoken to Vicky with such a stern tone.
Vicky scowled at the pain in her wrist. "Gloria, let go."
"No," Gloria said. "I am never letting go again."
Vicky tried to push Gloria away, but Gloria held onto her with dear life and continued to stand in her way.
Beginning to feel frustrated, Vicky shoved her aside with all her might, and because Gloria had been standing in front of her, Vicky did not notice the waiter behind Gloria.
Gloria fell toward the waiter and the two slammed together. The steaming hot soup in the waiter's tray spilled over Gloria's arm, and her skin instantly blistered.
"Ah!" Despite the pain, Gloria immediately stared at her arm. "... My hand!"
Vicky had not expected such a thing to happen as well and froze in shock.
