Loving You In Secret

Chapter 1713

Chapter 1713

Jennifer hurriedly grabbed Vicky's arm, shaking her head vehemently. "Vicky, don't."

Vicky gave Jennifer a reassuring look and then turned her gaze toward Bella.

"It seems we won't be able to reach an agreement today, Miss Thompson," Vicky said calmly. "I have some other

matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave."

She refused to succumb to Bella's threats.

Bella's purpose was to target her. Even if she complied, it would only make things more interesting for Bella. Vicky

knew she had no intention of setting Willow free at all.

Seeing Vicky's resistance, a sinister glint flashed in Bella's eyes.

She had harbored resentment toward Vicky for years. If Vicky's life took a turn for the worse, she might have found

satisfaction to a degree. However, Vicky's life had only improved over the years, and her career soared.

Bella’s hatred for her had reached an unbearable level, especially after her recent confession to Harvey, which he

rejected. Bella wanted nothing more than to kill Vicky.

With her arch-nemesis standing right in front of her, Bella's hatred reached its peak at the realization that she was

unable to exact revenge.

If she could not have peace, neither could Vicky.

With that in mind, Bella grabbed the scalding hot tea kettle from the table and viciously hurled it toward Vicky's

face.

Vicky and Jennifer had already turned away and did not notice Bella's actions. However, the man who had silently

stood behind Vicky the whole time, Tyler, observed the scene.

"Watch out!" he shouted and reached out to push Vicky away.

In that split second of contact, he remembered that Vicky was pregnant.

Tyler swiftly pulled Vicky into his arms, and the boiling water splashed onto his back and neck.

The season had transitioned into summer, and Tyler was dressed in less formal attire since he was accompanying

Vicky for a casual outing.

He simply had a thin white shirt on his upper body.

There was a loud crash as the teapot hit the ground, emitting a clear sound as it released billows of steam.

Both Vicky and Bella were stunned, not entirely comprehending what just happened.

Bella had not paid much attention to the person who came with Vicky.

Due to the dim lighting in the private room and the fact that Tyler was wearing sunglasses, she could only make out

his silhouette but not his features. She assumed he was just an assistant who was not fit to join the conversation, so

she did not pay much attention to him.

It was only when he rushed forward to protect Vicky that she could see half of his face beyond the sunglasses and

detect his regal aura.

The scalding hot water splashed onto him, and even someone as strong-willed and resilient as Tyler could not help

but let out a stifled groan as his muscles tensed in pain.

Hearing the crash, Vicky snapped out of her daze and finally realized what happened.

Looking up at the man who held her with a furrowed brow, her eyes widened.
