Chapter 1713


    Loving You In Secret Chapter 1713-Jennifer hurriedly grabbed Vicky’s arm, shaking her head


    vehemently. “Vicky, don’t.”


    Vicky gave Jennifer a reassuring look and then turned her gaze toward Be.


    “It seems we won’t be able to reach an agreement today, Miss Thompson,” Vicky said calmly. “I have


    some other matters


    to attend to, so I’ll take my leave.”


    She refused to sumb to Be’s threats.


    Be’s purpose was to target her. Even if sheplied, it would only make things more interesting for


    Be. Vicky knew


    she had no intention of setting Willow free at all.


    Seeing Vicky’s resistance, a sinister glint shed in Be’s eyes.

    She had harbored resentment toward Vicky for years. If Vicky’s life took a turn for the worse, she might


    have found


    satisfaction to a degree. However, Vicky’s life had only improved over the years, and her career


    soared.


    Be’s hatred for her had reached an unbearable level, especially after her recent confession to


    Harvey, which he


    rejected. Be wanted nothing more than to kill Vicky.


    With her arch-nemesis standing right in front of her, Be’s hatred reached its peak at the realization


    that she was unable


    to exact revenge.


    If she could not have peace, neither could Vicky.


    With that in mind, Be grabbed the scalding hot tea kettle from the table and viciously hurled it toward


    Vicky’s face.


    Vicky and Jennifer had already turned away and did not notice Be’s actions. However, the man who


    had silently stood


    behind Vicky the whole time, Tyler, observed the scene.


    “Watch out!” he shouted and reached out to push Vicky away.


    In that split second of contact, he remembered that Vicky was pregnant.


    Tyler swiftly pulled Vicky into his arms, and the boiling water sshed onto his back and neck.


    The season had transitioned into summer, and Tyler was dressed in less formal attire since he was


    apanying Vicky


    for a casual outing.


    He simply had a thin white shirt on his upper body.


    There was a loud crash as the teapot hit the ground, emitting a clear sound as it released billows of


    steam.


    Both Vicky and Be were stunned, not entirelyprehending what just happened.


    Be had not paid much attention to the person who came with Vicky.


    Due to the dim lighting in the private room and the fact that Tyler was wearing sunsses, she could


    only make out his


    silhouette but not his features. She assumed he was just an assistant who was not fit to join the


    conversation, so she did


    not pay much attention to him.


    It was only when he rushed forward to protect Vicky that she could see half of his face beyond the


    sunsses and detect


    his regal aura.


    The scalding hot water sshed onto him, and even someone as strong-willed and resilient as Tyler


    could not help but let


    out a stifled groan as his muscles tensed in pain.


    Hearing the crash, Vicky snapped out of her daze and finally realized what happened.


    Looking up at the man who held her with a furrowed brow, her eyes widened.
