Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 1325

"You're a quick learner. If this was any other day, you might've won." Old Mister Hart pointed to the chessboard. "The reason you lost today wasn't because you're not good at playing chess but because your mind was all over the place."

Vicky instinctively looked toward the door. 'Why hasn't Tyler come to get me yet? What could they be talking about?'

Old Mister Hart noticed her gaze. He sipped his coffee before saying, "Don't worry. I'm sure Tyler will be able to handle those two even if he's lost his memory."

Vicky knew what Old Mister Hart was implying. She turned back to him, but he did not seem to notice that as he continued, "The Hart family is known to produce many talented heirs, but Tyler is the most talented in his generation. He's not only smart but capable as well. To tell the truth, I've come to regret my decision."

"Regret your decision?" Vicky was confused. "Do you mean letting the other family members kick him out of the family?"

"That, and more on not doing anything about Orion and Valencia."

"What do you mean?"

Old Mister Hart sighed. "I heard about what Orion and Valencia did to Tyler while I was in the hospital, yet I didn't do anything. Tyler might be a Hart, but I don't have much love for him, frankly speaking. After nearly crippling Lincoln because of you, I thought he deserved to be punished by Orion and Valencia. Since he didn't die at their hands, I thought it'd be okay to let the matter slide. This mistake of mine nearly destroyed Tyler."

Vicky's expression changed. "What do you mean?"

"Do you remember the time Tyler was poisoned before you two broke up?"

After thinking about it, Vicky nodded. "Yes."

Once there, she got a whiff of a strong alcohol smell. After that, someone whistled at her.

"Well hello there, gorgeous!"

Turning, she spotted a man around 30 years old stumbling toward her while using the wall as support. The handsome, well-dressed man looked familiar, but she could not be sure since there was not enough light to see his face clearly.

However, one thing was for sure, she was disgusted by how the man was leering at her.

Vicky looked away from him and walked past him with a poker face. Just when she was about to leave, the man grabbed her roughly by the wrist.
