Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 1627

Vicky knew nothing could stop Tyler, not even if the earth was to blow up, when he got into one of his moods.

She turned her face away and said quickly, "Just let me turn off my computer, and I'll go to the room after that."

Tyler finally let her go. "You have five minutes."

Vicky nodded.

Only then did Tyler leave her study.

Vicky took a deep breath. She finally understood why Tyler insisted on keeping her as his mistress: It was so he could satisfy his perverted desire to control her.

…

The next evening, Vicky wore the gown Tyler prepared for her to the party. At first, she thought it was just some run-of-the-mill party, but she realized it was Old Mister Hart's birthday party when they finally arrived.

It had been a long time since she had any contact with the Hart family, so she did not know how Old Mister Hart was doing then. At that moment, she stood at the main door and fell into a daze as she saw one familiar face after another. It was as though she had traveled back to the past.

Everyone noticed Vicky and Tyler the moment they stepped into the banquet hall.

"Hey, Tyler's here!"

"It's been a while, Tyler. How's life in Stoneford City treating you?"

"Tyler, about my daughter working for Hart Corporation… Have you given it some thought?"

The luxuriously dressed men and women surrounded Tyler. All of them looked at him with hope and adulation.

That was not the case four years ago. Vicky remembered the contempt the other Hart family members had whenever they saw Tyler at any party they happened to be in. Thus, it was quite jarring for her to see how their attitude toward him seemed to have experienced a 180-degree turn in just a few short years.

Someone finally noticed Vicky was there.

"Tyler, who's this? Your new fiancee?"

However, her face froze, and the shock caused her to involuntarily take a sharp intake of breath when she saw Vicky.

"What… What are you doing here?"

Vicky had been frowning with annoyance ever since she found out whose party she was actually attending.

Those who remembered her sneaked curious glances at her.

Seeing the shock on Valencia's face, Tyler raised an eyebrow and asked with surprise, "Mom, do you know Vicky?"

Valencia quickly snapped out of her shock. "No… No, I don't."

Tyler looked around at the other guests' faces. They had all been ordered by Old Mister Hart to keep their mouths shut, so no one of them dared to look him in the eye.

They all quickly lowered their heads in silence.
