Chapter 769


    Cold breeze blew through the streets of Stoneford City, and after a few hours of effort, the kidnapper


    was finally captured.


    Gloria fainted as soon as she was carried out of the kidnapper’s car, but since there was an ambnce


    waiting nearby, she was rushed to the hospital right away.


    Tyler nced at the time and noticed that it was past eleven.


    He took out his phone to call Vicky, only to realize that Vicky had called him once an hour ago when he


    was dealing with the kidnapper.


    There was only one missed call and no text message, so Tyler called Vicky back.


    Beep, beep, beep…


    Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    No one came to the phone, and the call was eventually automatically dropped.


    Tyler scowled and made another call, but the oue was the same.


    After a long thoughtful moment, Tyler made a call to the restaurant he reserved instead. “Where is


    Missus Hart?”


    Both Gloria and Tyler were famous, so the news about them instantly spread throughout the city.


    “M—Missus Hart left an hour ago,” the waiter said gingerly.


    “Did she say anything?”


    “No.” The waiter proceeded to repeat every question Vicky asked before she left.


    The look in Tyler’s eyes darkened when he hung up.


    Just as he was about to leave, a person stood in his path. “Tyler, where are you going?”


    Tyler nced at Selene and said, “How’s that any of your business?”


    Selene’s breath caught in her chest, and she instinctively lowered her voice. “Gloria has been


    traumatized and fainted. Right now, she needs someone to stay by her side—”


    Before she could finish, Tyler interrupted her. “Are you not ‘someone’?”


    Selene stuttered, “I… I’m not like you. Y—You are the person Gloria wishes to see most… Having you


    by her side is better than having me around.”


    Tyler was starting to lose patience. “You’ve known her for over a decade, and I’ve only known her for a


    few years. Are you saying that a friend of over a decade can’t bepared to a man she has only


    known for a few years?” Tyler questioned coldly. “Are you two even friends?”


    “…” Tyler had not shown any mercy, and even a woman as unreasonable as Selene was at a loss for


    words.


    If she admitted to his assumption, she would be implying that Gloria chose a man over her friends. If


    she denied it, she would not be able to keep Tyler in the hospital.


    ‘Today’s Vicky’s birthday, so I can’t let Tyler go celebrate it with her!’ Selene thought. She recalled how


    depressed Gloria had been and took a deep breath.


    “We’ve already identified the kidnapper, but don’t you think it’s odd that Gloria has been kidnapped so


    many times over such a short period? The police said that the kidnapper was an extreme fan of


    Gloria’s, but she isn’t an actress, so it doesn’t seem to make sense that she’d have a fan who does


    something like this…”


    Selene paused and forced herself to swallow the mention of Alex. “All the culprit did was get someone


    else to kidnap her and make up an excuse saying that it’s done by a frantic fan… No one is getting


    fooled here!”
