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, Bella smiled. "So, you've figured it out, huh?"
Vicky stared at Bella and asked, "May I know how I offended you, Miss Thompson?"
Bella, 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

into Vicky's, cold and venomous.
"A despicable person like you deserves a good lesson," Bella 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.
Bella sneered. "Ms. Shaw, have you finally remembered?"
Bella, seemingly thirsty, cast a glance 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 Bella 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.
Bella 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?"

will be over."
"And if I refuse?" Vicky questioned.
Bella's voice oozed malice. "Your employee will probably be beaten to death tonight. I'm curious, Vicky Shaw: When
it comes to choosing between a person's life and your dignity, what will you choose?"
Jennifer's face turned pale with anger. "You have no shame!"
Bella did not even acknowledge Jennifer's presence. "Vicky, make your choice quickly. If you delay 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?"
