Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 1553

Vicky stilled. "Is there something else you need, Mister Hart?"

He handed her a check. "This is for last night."

She chuckled at the check. "Do you take me for a common wrench?"

"Are you not one?"

She clenched her fists. Instead of sorrow, she felt overwhelmed by helplessness and confusion.

"It's fine," she refused expressionlessly. "Don't worry. I won't bother you or appear before you again."

She then strode off, but Tyler reached out to grab her wrist, to which she responded by jolting away from his touch.

"Hands off me!"

As she looked at the woman's icy expression, a subtle lift graced the corners of Tyler's eyebrows. "I've touched every part of you. Isn't it a bit too late to be saying that now?"

No matter how she tried to frame it, Vicky could not have anticipated that the man who showed unwavering loyalty to his fiancee in public just a few days ago would not only have unashamedly slept with another woman but also dare to utter such shameless words.

"Tyler, let go of me."

Instead of releasing her, Tyler's grip tightened as he looked at her with amusement. "Ms. Shaw, are you throwing a tantrum at me?"

Vicky raised her chin, offering a delicate smile. "Mister Hart, it seems you've misunderstood the situation."

"Oh?"

"While I may not be as wealthy as you are, I'm not exactly poor." Vicky's smile grew cold. "Why would you assume I'd try to seduce you for money?"

Vicky turned her face away coldly, refusing to meet his gaze.

"What were you about to say about my fiancee?"

"Nothing," she said stiffly.

"Why? Do you want to find my fiancee and sabotage our relationship?"

This amused Vicky and made her genuinely laugh. "Is there a relationship to sabotage? You speak grandly in front of the press yet effortlessly engage with other women. No wonder Miss Yeager strayed. You are a horrible man who's even more terrible in bed. It would be strange if Miss Yeager didn't seek another man."

Vicky had not intended to say all of this, but as Tyler provoked and humiliated her, Vicky simply could not hold back.

Tension rose along with her words.
