Chapter 479

Tyler had a look of indifference upon hearing Maria’s explanation. “How did she know where I went? And why were you there?”

Guilt crept into Maria as she instinctively raised her voice. “S-She was going to look for you because you didn’t come back for a long time.

Coincidentally, I passed by and told her that you’d be back in just a while…”

She continued to look at Vicky and explained her side of the story.

“She asked where you went. I was just strolling in the garden when I happened to see you rescue Gloria. Since you were there with Gloria, I didn’t want to disturb you two, but Vicky kept wanting to look for you.

“I remember Vicky and Gloria were never on good terms, and if she saw you two together, she’d surely misunderstand. I decided to say nothing, yet this evil woman tricked me… You guys know I can never keep a secret, so I blurted the truth.

“She was so infuriated that she staged that whole fountain fiasco!’

At this point, she approached Gloria and stood beside her with a sad face.” Gloria, do you still remember how Vicky tried to hurt you many times in the past? You know how evil she is. I can never outmatch her…”

Gloria’s eyebrows furrowed. Her lips moved like she was going to say sometime. Alas, she just stood quietly.

Tyler had no major reaction even after Maria told her side of the story. Instead, he noticed the wounds on Vicky’s arms, and his eyes wavered. He went over to Vicky and lifted her into his arms. “Let’s go get your wound treated,” he said.

Vicky was baffled. “My wound?”

Tyler looked down into her eyes. His handsome face looked nonchalant.”

We’ll talk about the rest later.”

Tyler then turned to leave, but Maria—bewildered as she was-blurted,” Tyler, aren’t you going to say anything?”

Tyler glanced at her. “Say what?”

Maria pointed at Vicky and exclaimed loudly, “This evil woman blamed me for what happened!”

Tyler looked calm. “So what?”

“B-But… She slandered me…”

“Save it for someone who cares,” scoffed Tyler. No longer bothered by Maria, he walked away with Vicky still in his arms. 1

Maria was dumbstruck when she saw them leaving, and her mind was buzzing. She had no idea what Tyler meant.

“Gloria.” She looked at the woman beside her and said with fear, “What does Tyler mean by that? D- Does he not believe what I said?”

Gloria’s gaze followed Tyler until he vanished from sight. Then, she looked at Maria.

“So you pushed Vicky, yes?” she asked.

“No!” Maria answered directly and nearly swore to God. “Gloria, you know what kind of person Vicky is, don’t you?! She—”

“I know exactly what kind of person she is,” interjected Gloria gently.” That’s why I know she’d never lie about you.”

Maria’s voice trembled in shock, “Gloria…l thought you hate Vicky a lot!

Why are you speaking for her now?”

Gloria looked at her. “I’m not speaking for her; I’m just stating a fact. I grew up with her, and I know her personality very well. If she wanted to hurt you, she’d never use such a lowbrow tactic. On the other hand, you’ve always been the one who used this method to hurt and frame her. Between you and her, who do you think sounds more convincing?”

Maria was resentful. “Maybe Tyler believes me…”

“Do you honestly think he does, judging by the way he behaved toward you? II

Maria stopped talking.

If Tyler truly believed her, he would not have left with Vicky in his arms to treat her injury.
