Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 1403

"Vicky, are you arguing with me for Harvey's sake?"

"I wouldn't have said a word about this had this been a simple business decision, but that's clearly not the case." She looked into his eyes and said, "Tyler, I don't want you to hurt someone because of me. I've explained that nothing's going on between me and Harvey countless times. He's helped me so many times, yet this is what he gets in return? This is ungrateful."

"Ungrateful? Vicky, is Harvey that important to you?"

"He helped me!"

"So what?" Tyler narrowed his eyes coldly. "He might look like he's helping you, but he's only using that as an excuse to get closer to you. If I remember correctly, he's advised you to leave me multiple times before."

"That's because he misunderstood how I felt about you. This isn't his fault. I was the one who asked for his help..."

Tyler interrupted her coldly. "So? Are you trying to fight with me because of him?"

"I don't want to fight." Her expression eased slightly. "I just don't want you to misunderstand and target Harvey."

After seconds of silence, Vicky turned her gaze toward him. "If...you're willing to spare Harvey, I won't meet him again or have any contact with him from now on. Will you consider that?"

Tyler pursed his lips and narrowed his eyes darkly.

Vicky held onto his hand. "I'm pleading for him not because he holds a significant place in my heart, but because he's helped me many times. Out of respect for that, please don't harm him, alright?"

Tyler remained silent for quite a while. His expression was stoic, making it hard to discern his emotions.

Vicky stared at Tyler's face in a vain attempt to read his mind.

Just when she thought he might stay silent, he finally spoke. "As long as I spare Johnson Corporation, you won't meet or contact him again, correct?"
