Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 135

Chapter 135

Tyler merely glanced at Maria's gift and made no moves to accept it. "Okay. II

Maria was undeterred as she opened the gift before him. "Tyler, I saw this necktie at the mall and thought it was perfect for you. Why don't you put it on and see if it suits you?"

Once she had the necktie in her hand, Maria walked toward Tyler to put it on for him but was stopped by a slim figure before she could approach him.

"I'm sorry, Miss Sparks, but he doesn't like your gift."

Maria acted as though she had just noticed Vicky and said, "Miss Shaw, Tyler didn’t even say that he doesn't like it. I don't think it's appropriate for you to make the call without asking him what he thinks about the gift, is it now?"

Every guest who attended the party, including Tyler, referred to Vicky as ' Missus Hart', but Maria was the only one who called her 'Miss Shaw'.

Vicky smiled. "He is my husband, and I'm the host of this party. We're a couple and what's his is mine, so my thoughts represent his as well." She paused for a moment and continued, "You probably don't understand what a marriage is like because you're single. Miss Sparks. Regardless, any adult with basic common sense would know to keep a certain distance from a married man. What you did earlier is very inappropriate."

Vicky had not shown mercy in the way she spoke, and Maria's expression instantly darkened.

She clenched her fists until her nails cracked and turned to look at Tyler with tears welling in her eyes. "Tyler, just look at her..."

"Am I wrong, darling?" Vicky said as she turned to look at Tyler, feeling far more confident compared to the times before.

When Maria framed her for stealing, Tyler had helped her despite feeling appalled by her, so there was no reason why he would not side with her at the moment.

Sheila was a smart woman and did not do anything out of line apart from greeting the two and handing Tyler his gift, before leaving.

Countless powerful figures and wealthy businessmen came to talk to Tyler halfway through the party, and Vicky took it as her cue to give him space.

As soon as she left his side, other ladies and mistresses came to talk to her, and it took her a long time to speak with each of them.

When it was all finally over, she went to rest when she spotted a figure in the comer of her eye.

Vicky stilled and turned to walk toward the figure.
