Tyler gave Vicky a very faint response. "I don't know."
Vicky's question came while she was deliberating on what happened with Gloria and Isaac, and she did not expect Tyler to know the answer because he did not know Isaac at all. Therefore, he could not have known who incapacitated Isaac so gruesomely.
…
Back to Gloria's apartment.
Gloria stood still as she watched Tyler drop her off. She gazed as the car drove off and remained in that position for a long time.
Seeing this, Selene said, "Why didn't you ask him to stay if you miss him so much? The reason you ended up like now is that he left you halfway through the dinner… He should be the one to bear this responsibility!"
The taillight of the car disappeared into the dark night. Finally, Gloria stopped looking in that direction.
"Responsibility?" She smiled sardonically. "Didn't you see how eager he was to get rid of me?"
"Gloria, I'm not going to let you think that way. If it wasn't because of Vicky that b*tch, you and Tyler would've been together by now. If she didn't take your place in the first place, she wouldn't stand a chance of being Tyler's wife. Besides, you know Tyler cares about you. He came immediately knowing something bad happened to you. I think Vicky…"
She continued with a disdainful tone, "I'm sure she insisted on following Tyler when she saw Tyler was going out to see you."
Gloria did not react to what Selene said. Instead, she asked, "Did you see it?"
Selene did not know what Gloria was asking. "See what?"
"There's a scratch mark on the back of Tyler's hand," Gloria said sadly. "It wasn't there when he had dinner with me tonight…"
Upon hearing that, something struck Selene. "I think I saw a mark on Vicky's neck… Oh my god."
Selene's eyes widened. "Did they…Did they just…"
