That sentence deeply upset Gregory.
His eyes darkened as they grew more sinister.
“Vick, I thought you’d understand after I told you everything. However, is that what you really think about me? Do you think that my actions are disgraceful? Are you looking down on me as well?”
Vickie answered, “Yes, I’m looking down on you. In the past, Gregory was an upright person despite his shrewdness. The business field might be full of deception, but he’d never use a woman to manipulate others.
“But now, you’d break your own principles just to deal with Shimon. To think that you’d even sacrifice Yuliana, Gregory, do you even have a heart? Do you think that you can trample on the hearts of the women who truly love you? Do you think that their feelings are worthless? I’m very disappointed in you!”
Gregory’s expression grew colder.
He looked at Vickie as if she was a stranger.
He slowly stood up and walked away from her.
After a moment, he said with a hoarse voice, “In your heart, is that what you think about me?”
As Vickie looked at his pained expression, her heart was also in agony.
She did not know why Gregory became the person that he was today.
Vickie was not a saint at heart. She also knew that some people used women to achieve success in the business field.
In the past, she did not have an opinion when others were doing it. However, her heart felt unbearable pain when she saw Gregory doing the same thing.
Maybe it was because she had thought that Gregory was different from the others.
Gregory might have seemed like a ruffian who came from a corrupted environment, but he was actually a righteous person who possessed a heart of gold.
He would never commit a disgraceful act like that.
Using a woman’s feelings to achieve his goals was something that he would never do.
That was why Vickie felt so sad after knowing about his plan.
At that moment, she felt tired.
She told Gregory, “I don’t know what happened to you, but I strongly disagree with you using Yuliana to defeat Shimon. Gregory, is there really no other way? Do you really need to use her?”
Gregory said with a deep voice, “I’ve already let Shimon meet up with her.”
Suddenly, Vickie understood everything.
If Shimon had already met Yuliana, that meant that Shimon already had an eye for Yuliana.
Considering how obsessed he was with his dead wife, he would never give up on the woman who looked the same as his dead wife.
That was why he would willingly fall into Gregory’s trap even if he knew about it.
Ah, Gregory!
Even though Vickie was still scornful toward the plan, she had to admit that it was still the best course of action.
At that moment, Vickie could not fully describe her feelings. She just shook her head and said, “If that’s the case, then that’s your issue to handle. Since you’ve already decided on your plan, it’d be meaningless to tell me. Gregory, you don’t have to tell me stuff like this in the future. I’m not interested in it anyway.”
After she finished her sentence, she turned around and prepared to leave.
Gregory looked at her back as his eyes dimmed with sorrow.
“So you don’t want to get back together with me?”
Vickie stopped in her tracks.
With her back facing him, a myriad of bitter yet complicated emotions began swirling in her heart.
His voice was like a gust of wind that echoed along the empty hallway.
“It's all in the past. You’re not the same person that you were four years ago. The same applies to me too. Since we’re no longer the same people that we were in the beginning, how can we get back together? Boss Gregory is a smart person. He has big plans to accomplish. On the other hand, I’m just a fool who doesn’t deserve to stand by your side. That’s why you shouldn’t focus on me anymore in the future.”
