Loving You In Secret (Vicky and Tyler) novel Chapter 1712

The air seemed to have frozen when Vicky spoke, leaving only the faint sounds of the kettle wheezing while the water boiled.

After a few moments of silence, Bella smiled. "So, you've figured it out, huh?"

Vicky stared at Bella and asked, "May I know how I offended you, Miss Thompson?"

Bella, no longer hiding her intentions, replied, "Back then, as soon as Harvey was imprisoned, you couldn't wait to break off your engagement with him and marry someone else. You tried to reel him back in after your divorce and made him stay single for so many years! Once you found a better option, you simply discarded him!" Her gaze bore into Vicky's, cold and venomous.

"A despicable person like you deserves a good lesson," Bella continued.

The way this woman looked at her seemed oddly familiar to Vicky, so realization hit her in an instant. "It's you!"

Years ago, when she and Harvey had first been engaged, a woman constantly pestered him, even teaming up with Harvey's sister to make trouble for Vicky. At that time, she had not paid much attention to this, even though she suffered a few times.

She just remembered that the woman who persistently pursued Harvey had been one of his ardent admirers and that Harvey had found her extremely annoying.

Bella sneered. "Ms. Shaw, have you finally remembered?"

"And if I refuse?" Vicky questioned.

Bella's voice oozed malice. "Your employee will probably be beaten to death tonight. I'm curious, Vicky Shaw: When it comes to choosing between a person's life and your dignity, what will you choose?"

Jennifer's face turned pale with anger. "You have no shame!"

Bella did not even acknowledge Jennifer's presence. "Vicky, make your choice quickly. If you delay any longer, your employee will be beaten to death. Oh, by the way, if she does die, it will be your fault. I assume you won't want to carry the burden of a life on your conscience, do you?"
