Furious, Alex roared, "Harvey Sparks, you disgusting player. You got engaged to Vicky yet treated her poorly, and you're here accusing me of causing her trouble? At least I went to her rescue when she was in pain! What about you? After losing to Tyler, you abandoned her and left... What kind of a man are you?!"
The look in Harvey's eyes darkened. "Your rescue means making her lose her baby? Or that she has to swallow her pride to beg for Tyler's mercy for your sake?"
The mention of Vicky's lost child stung Alex, and his breath caught in his chest.
"You haven't changed throughout the years. You deserve to be manipulated by Tyler." Harvey stared at him with a sneer. "It's fine if you want to be toyed with by Tyler, but you're dragging Vicky down with you. Alex, do you really think that you're capable of kidnapping Gloria twice on your own?" He paused and said, "If Tyler didn't want you to succeed, you won't even be able to step foot into Stoneford City."
Alex froze. "What are you talking about?"
"I'm saying that you fell into Tyler's trap. You think that you managed to sneak out of your family's control when everything was arranged by Tyler. He let you run free on purpose so that you will kidnap Gloria."
"Why would Tyler do that? Can it be that..." Realization dawned on Alex. "Oh, I know! Tyler wants me to kidnap Gloria, so that he can come and rescue the damsel in distress and get her to fall deeper in love with him. Is that it?"
"..." Harvey was rendered speechless as he could not understand how Vicky would come to have such a foolish friend.
Harvey studied the smug look on Alex's face and sighed. "I finally know why Tyler keeps you around."
"He keeps me around? He only wishes he can kill me. I'm just lucky to have Vicky on my side!"
Harvey was rendered speechless. "I guess it really is worse to have a horrible teammate than to have a formidable enemy."
Alex came to a realization of what he meant and took a few steps forward. "Harvey, who are you trying to mock?!"
"You," Harvey said. "A horrible teammate."
Furious, Alex wanted to punch him when Harvey added, "Have you ever thought about what Tyler would do to you since you kidnapped Gloria?"
