Jared Hughes didn't want Vicki Lindsey to have more contact with Betsy Russell, and hesitated when Vicki asked him about her. He said, "Let's go."
Vicki followed Jared out, knowing that she had slept for five years, not been foolish for five years, and Betsy's words made her realize that her sister also had fallen for Jared.
As Jared took Vicki away, the reporters immediately surrounded them, enclosing them in a circle.
"Mr. Hughes, is this lady your past love?"
"Mr. Hughes, why didn't you marry this lady back then?"
"Mr. Hughes, you used to be close with Mrs. Hughes, are you not going to marry Mrs. Hughes now?"
...
Vicki shuddered involuntarily, not because she was sad that Jared had married Betsy, but because she couldn't believe her dearest sister would...
Jared had Bill Treiber clear a path, then led Vicki away first.
Throughout the ordeal, he didn't even give Chloe Lindsey a look of sympathy.
