Chapter 1712


    The air seemed to have frozen when Vicky spoke, leaving only the faint sounds of the kettle wheezing


    while the water boiled.


    After a few moments of silence, Be smiled. “So, you’ve figured it out, huh?”


    Vicky stared at Be and asked, “May I know how I offended you, Miss Thompson?”


    Be, no longer hiding her intentions, replied, “Back then, as soon as Harvey was imprisoned, you


    couldn’t wait to break


    off your engagement with him and marry someone else. You tried to reel him back in after your divorce


    and made him stay


    single for so many years! Once you found a better option, you simply discarded him!” Her gaze bore


    into Vicky’s, cold and venomous.


    “A despicable person like you deserves a good lesson,” Be continued.


    The way this woman looked at her seemed oddly familiar to Vicky, so realization hit her in an instant.


    “It’s you!”


    Years ago, when she and Harvey had first been engaged, a woman constantly pestered him, even


    teaming up with


    Harvey’s sister to make trouble for Vicky. At that time, she had not paid much attention to this, even


    though she suffered a few times.


    She just remembered that the woman who persistently pursued Harvey had been one of his ardent


    admirers and that


    Harvey had found her extremely annoying.


    Be sneered. “Ms. Shaw, have you finally remembered?”


    Be, seemingly thirsty, cast a nce at her husband.


    The man understood and hastily brewed some tea for her. The aroma of the tea filled the entire private


    room as he poured


    a cup and set it in front of Be to cool.


    “Miss Thompson, there’s no need to involve others in your grievances with me. If you have any issues,


    please address


    them with me. Why make things difficult for one of our junior staff members?” Vicky calmly said.


    Be responded with an eerie, mocking tone, “With so many men protecting you, how could I possibly


    approach you? I


    had to resort to some tricks.”


    “What exactly do you want, Miss Thompson?”

    Be nced at her with a sinister smile. “I just told you. Get on your knees and apologize to me, and


    this matter will be over.”


    “And if I refuse?” Vicky questioned.


    Be’s voice oozed malice. “Your employee will probably be beaten to death tonight. I’m curious, Vicky


    Shaw: When it


    Jennifer’s face turned pale with anger. “You have no shame!”


    Be did not even acknowledge Jennifer’s presence. “Vicky, make your choice quickly. If you dy any


    longer, your


    employee will be beaten to death. Oh, by the way, if she does die, it will be your fault. I assume you


    won’t want to carry the


    burden of a life on your conscience, do you?”
