Gideon Sheffield shuddered violently when he heard Vera Underwood's voice. He swallowed, but his throat was unusually dry.
On the other end of the line, Vera Underwood didn't hear a response, and asked again. Gideon Sheffield closed his eyes. How could he believe what Zane Thorne had just said?
His Vivi was so wonderful, how could she... how could she betray him like this? He didn't want to believe it. Yet, Zane Thorne's words perfectly explained his doubts.
Why, after so many years of love, could Vera Underwood cruelly leave him without hesitation after his incident?
Vera Underwood finally sensed something was wrong and asked cautiously.
"Is that you?"
After that, her voice trembled, and she asked again in a panic.
"Is that you, Jay? Is it you?"
Jay.
Gideon Sheffield laughed sarcastically. How could she still have the nerve to call him Jay? He snatched the phone and slammed it on the ground.
