Loving You In Secret

Chapter 279

Tyler said Harvey once gave her away to another man like she was a pet, yet she was not even a pet to Harvey. She was just his toy.

A pet would receive love and tenderness from the master in moments when the master was happy. Meanwhile, the owner of a toy could play with the toy however he liked. It did not matter if the toy was broken; he would just get it replaced.

After a difficult shower, she limped her way to the door and wanted to leave. This place suffocated her so much that she did not feel like staying a minute longer.

When she opened the door, she found two bodyguards in black suits. One of them immediately said, “I’m sorry, Miss Shaw. You’re not allowed to leave the room.”

Vicky was baffled by this. “I can’t leave this room? What do you mean?’

The other bodyguard said, “It’s an order from Mister Hart. You’re not allowed to leave the room as of now.”

She understood it this time, and one of her hands balled into a fist. “He has no right to keep me here!’

The other bodyguard said awkwardly, “Miss Shaw, there are media companies and reporters around this hotel. Mister Hart is doing this…to ensure your safety.”

“I don’t need him to keep me safe!”

No matter what Vicky said, the bodyguards refused to let her walk out.

With her sprained ankle, she had no way to bypass two professional, strong bodyguards. In the end, she could only go back into the room.

As she went back to the room, she looked for her phone in her purse and called Tyler with her shivering fingers.

After a few moments, the call connected.

Before Tyler could speak, she went off, snapping, “Tyler Hart! Who gives you the right to keep me in this room?”

After a moment of silence, the man replied in a cool, clear voice, “Are you sure you want to speak to me with this attitude of yours?’

She clenched her fingers tight as anger rumbled in her heart. “What do you want?”

“You haven’t seen the morning news, have you, Missus Hart?” he said, his voice sounding light- hearted.

Vicky’s eyebrows furrowed. “What news?”

“What other than…the news of you and your ex-fiance?”

Immediately, Vicky put the call on speakers and flipped the call interface to the back so she could open the web browser to look at the news.

Tyler was right. Another piece of news about her and Harvey was right at the top of the trending list.

Tyler said sarcastically, “Missus Hart, do you seriously think the jokes you created are too little, or do you think the scandals you’re involved in aren’t enough? Is it that bad for you if you don’t appear in the

news every day?”

The news article had a photo of her having dinner with Harvey last night. The content was a flurry of insults and a few photos where she was seen trying to hit people arrogantly.

She scrolled down and realized the news was only about her and Harvey. Neither Tyler nor Sheila was mentioned.

‘These media companies sure know who to pick a fight with,’ she bitterly mused.

Her throat felt tight. “So?”

Tyler replied indifferently, “To avoid you shaming me again when people take more photos of you when you go out, you’re to stay in the hotel and nowhere else.”

“I can stay in the hotel and not go anywhere, but I want to stay in my room,’ she tried to negotiate.

She received a harsh reply from Tyler. “So you can meet with Harvey secretly?”

“What’s wrong with you? Is it hard for you not to think so dirtily?” Vicky scoffed.

“Dirty? You meeting Harvey in secret is a fact, isn’t it?”

As he mentioned Harvey’s name, his mood dropped.

He said nastily, “Don’t tell me both of you bumped into each other in this city coincidentally?”

She kept quiet for a while before answering, “Yes.”
