Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 890

Chapter 890

All the people looked at both Vicky and Tyler with an indescribably unsettling gaze.

In the past, Vicky had accompanied Valencia to numerous social gatherings, encountering various types of people and incidents. At that time, she was young and incapable of rivaling Valencia's level of cunning.

She eagerly sought Valencia's approval and endured many unfair treatments as a result. Unfortunately, Vicky had no choice but to swallow her pride and accept the abuse as she was facing Tyler's relatives.

Vicky could not help but feel somewhat uneasy when she saw all the familiar faces again.

Valencia had traumatized her, and in moments like these, she found herself yearning for the days when she was oblivious to the past without her memories.

Tyler seemed to sense her unease. He gently held her hand and spoke in a soothing tone. "No need to be nervous. I'm here."

Vicky calmed down at the sound of his voice and smiled at him. "Alright."

Then, a chilly voice cut through the crowd.

"Indeed, an uneducated barbarian can never rise to our ranks. Even young children nowadays know not to be late.

As an educated adult, how could you be so late, making everyone wait for you two? This is ridiculous."

The voice was familiar, and Vicky's eyebrows twitched as she followed its direction.

The woman's name was Isabella, the eldest daughter of the prestigious Hart family. Her relationship with the bloodline led by Orion had never been peaceful.

There were conflicts of interest between the bloodline she was in and the one led by Orion, and she considered anyone on Orion's side her enemy.

She was one of the strongest opponents against Tyler's return to the family. Valencia and Orion held a certain extent of power in the family, so Isabella dared not to speak ill of them at that time. However, when it came to Tyler and Vicky, she did not care about maintaining civility of any sort.

The feud between Vicky and Isabella solidified after that event.

Valencia soon realized how unpredictable Vicky could be and was afraid that Vicky might actually do something harmful to her, so she stopped bringing her to social gatherings altogether.

Tension rose as the two women who considered each other enemies met once again.

Vicky's gaze turned cold as she saw Isabella, but she refrained from confronting Isabella directly under the current circumstances, so she simply turned her head indifferently as if she had not heard anything.

Tyler had only encountered Isabella a few times, and she had made snide remarks and sarcastic comments towards him every time they met, so he could not be bothered to pay attention to such a simple-minded woman.

He did not even deign to look at her, let alone try to explain himself to her.

He held Vicky's hand and casually addressed Old Mister Hart, "Apologies, something unexpected came up at the company."
