Loving You In Secret

Chapter 25

Tension rose in the air, and silence fell over the room as both Tyler and Vicky remained quiet.

After a while, Tyler said, “And what if I trade Cece for Sasha?”

Vicky jolted in shock and stared at the cold expression on his handsome face “Are you threatening me?”

He shot her a careless glance. “It’s not a threat, it’s a trade. Lay off on Sasha, and I’ll help get Cece out

“Sebastian is my friend growing up. I can ask for his help on that. I’m sure he’s more than capable of that, considering the Mills family’s status ”

“That’s right. He’s capable of getting Cece out for you Tyler did not deny it, but continued, “But you won’t ask for his help

“Why not?”

“His mother, Missus Mills, doesn’t want you to contact him to begin with. Besides, you’ve lost your memories and have only seen him once. You’ll never make such a request to someone that you’re not familiar with.”

She scowled and was about to speak when he interrupted her. “Maybe you’d seek his help if you have no other options, but you do now.” He lowered his gaze to scan her face. “You never enjoyed owing people. You’re the kind of person who’d choose to suffer instead of asking for others’ help.”

She was stunned.

Indeed, a debt of favor was forever the hardest to repay. Not only did Tyler know her personality, but he also knew her mentality like the back of his hand, and he was right.

Between owing someone a favor and suffering on her own, she would choose the latter without

hesitation.

She knew that the man before her knew everything and simply pretended not to when he did not want to get involved.

“Nonetheless, Sasha crossed the line this time, so I’ll make her apologize to you. If you have any more. requests, you can list them out as well,” he continued, no longer trying to convince Vicky as he knew with certainty that she would agree to his terms.

No matter how much he hated Vicky, she was still his wife, and it was a life-or-death situation. All things aside, he never liked Sasha, and if only Sheila did not plead on her behalf, Tyler would have let Vicky have

her way.

Vicky seemed slightly taken by surprise. “I can request other things, too?”

He nodded. “Sure.”

After a brief moment of silence, she closed her eyes again. “I haven’t thought of anything yet. I’ll let you. know once I know what I want.”

“Alright.”

“I’m tired, and I want to rest.”

“Alright. I’ll leave now.” Tyler did not insist on staying and Vicky did not respond.

In the evening, Sebastian returned to the room hastily. “Vicky, why did you drop the charges? Did Tyler Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

blackmail you or something?”

Vicky felt more energized after resting for most of the day and was reading on her bed. She looked up from her book and said, “No. I decided this on my own.”

“I checked the surveillance footage, and they captured the moment when Sasha pushed you into the pool. The police found the video she recorded on her phone as well. This is attempted murder with malicious. intention. They could’ve put her in jail!”
