Chapter 772: Chapter 774

“Yeah. The other party used their connection to freeze my company’s liquid assets. We had been trying

to negotiate a way out of this for the past one month but failed to do so because the other party’s

influence and connections are way above ours.”

Vicky frowned. “That sounds really serious! Are they to make the company fold under?”

She might not know how to run a ninjanovel.com large company, but even she knew just how important

a company’s liquid assets were. Both the company’s buying and selling activity would be adversely

affected if its liquid assets were frozen. In fact, many companies had no choice but to declare

bankruptcy due to this reason.

Tyler’s expression, however, was calm. There was not even a single trace of nervousness.

“The other party will not stop until it has reached its intended purpose.”

Vicky looked at Tyler. She wanted to say something that could comfort him but did not know where to

start. Instead, she sighed and simply said, “Let us eat first.”

…

The next day, Vicky rushed out of the hospital after having her breakfast. She did not come back for the

whole day, and Doctor Charlie was the one who brought Tyler his lunch and dinner.

Tyler called Vicky a few times, but she would simply tell him she had something to do and that she

would be back late. Whenever he asked her what she was doing, she would either change the topic or

hang up the phone.

Boom!

The silver lightning streak was accompanied by the sound of roaring thunder, and heavy rain soon

poured down from the sky.

However, Vicky still was not back.

After a few minutes, Tyler changed from the hospital gown to his clothes and was about to step out to

look for Vicky when a slender figure hurriedly entered his ward.

Vicky was caught in the torrential rain for a few seconds or so, but it was enough to have completely

drenched her.copied from ninjanovel.com.

“Tyler?” Vicky was confused to see Tyler dressed and ready to go out. “Where are you going?”

Tyler did not answer her question. Instead, he just stared at her; his handsome face tensed.

“Where have you been all this while?”

“I…” Vicky averted her gaze. “I went home to get something…”

Tyler’s eyes became sharp, and his tone frosty. “Vicky Shaw, I’m going to ask you one last time—where

did you go?”

Vicky’s hand subconsciously tightened around her bag. “I told you I went home to get something.”

Tyler narrowed his eyes. Suddenly, he snatched away her bag. Vicky wanted to stop him but he was

too tall and too strong for her. The disparity in their strength was astronomical. There was no way she

would be successful.

Tyler opened her bag and was immediately stunned by the wads of cash and bank cards stacked

neatly inside.

“What…”

Vicky lowered her head and explained in a small voice, “I saved all the money you wired me last time

for taking care of you, and now that your company is in trouble… I thought why not return the money to

you so that maybe…maybe it can tide the company over until a more long-term solution can be

found…”

Tyler glanced at the thick wad of cash and said, “This is more than what I gave you last time.”

“The rest is…from my savings. It might not be much, but it could perhaps buy you some more time…” A

thought suddenly occurred to Vicky. She raised her head and looked into Tyler’s dark eyes. “It goes

without saying I’m only lending you the money. You can pay me back when you have money to spare.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Jeremy pulled her into a tight embrace.

“Vicky, thank you,” he said hoarsely. He knew the reason she insisted he had to pay her back the

money was to protect his ego. In fact, he was sure she would not even tell him she was the one who

gave him the money if he did not catch her in the act on this day.
