Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 1286

The situation that Vicky mentioned was indeed known to many high-ranking executives in the company.

Mister Zeeland snorted coldly. "Ms. Shaw, are you saying that Mister Hart has been on vacation with you all this time?"

"That's right."

Mister Zeeland persisted. "It's understandable that Mister Hart wanted to take a break, but the company is facing such a big issue, and even the company's market value is being affected. At such a critical moment, it's unacceptable that Mister Hart refuses to come forward."

"Tyler is usually too busy. Even on vacation, he can't have a moment's peace. Phone calls keep coming in. It was so annoying that I took the liberty of turning off his phone." Vicky narrowed her eyes as she scanned the people in the room. "Who could've imagined that such outrageous rumors would spread outside? What surprised me even more was that when the Hart Corporation faced a crisis, there isn’t a single soul here in this entire office to handle it but Tyler, leaving him with no choice but to come back to stabilize the situation."

She paused for a moment with a faint smile. "Are you all paid to laze around here?"

Her words fell, and the entire conference room suddenly fell into silence.

Many people lowered their heads in shame.

Mister Zeeland was furious for being publicly mocked by a woman. With a loud bang, he slammed the table heavily and stood up, pointing angrily at Vicky. "If it weren't for you, who turned Mister Hart's phone off, would the Hart Corporation's market value drop? You are nothing but a troublemaker—"

"Mister Zeeland," interrupted Tyler. "Vicky is my wife. Please show some respect."

"Mister Zeeland, did you not understand what I said?" Tyler asked calmly, the look in his eyes darkening viciously.

His intimidating presence intensified, and tension rose in the air.

The others turned to gape at Tyler.

Though Tyler was never a gentleman and was known for his ruthlessness, he rarely resorted to violence in public. People who enraged him would often disappear or suffer some sort of tragedy the next day.
