Tyler did not say much and simply asked, "Have you eaten?""I came after having lunch."Tyler set the documents in his hand on the desk and asked casually, "Are you going back in the afternoon?""Yeah. There are still some things to take care of at the studio, so I'll need to head back later," she replied, "but I'm not in a rush."After a few moments of silence, Vicky whispered, "Am I getting in the way?""No." Tyler glanced at the clock. "My next meeting is scheduled at two. I'm free until then.""That's good, then."Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Harry stepped in with a pile of documents. "Mister Hart, here are the documents related to the buyout of Johnson Corporation..."He spotted Vicky sitting on the couch and paused in his sentence. Nonetheless, he swiftly smiled and said, "Welcome, Missus Hart."He regained his composure swiftly, but Vicky still caught the peculiar fleeting look in Harry's eyes.She nodded, and Harry simply handed the file he held to Ty
"You could've just called me over when you finished making the tea. You didn't need to bring it over," said Tyler as he took an empty teacup, filled it from the teapot, and poured himself a cup. The way he elegantly moved was a truly pleasing sight."As it happens, I'm a bit thirsty," he said, his voice clear as he finished the cup of tea in one gulp. He then made an internal call and instructed his secretary, "Come in and clean the office."The secretary swiftly came in and tidied the broken fragments from the floor.Not long after the secretary left, Tyler received a call. In about a minute, he said, "I'll be right over."Hanging up, Tyler turned to Vicky, saying, "I need to step out for a moment. I'll be back soon."Vicky nodded. "Alright."Once Tyler left, Vicky started to feel bored as she sat alone in the office. It was then her gaze landed on the stack of documents on Tyler's desk.When Harry entered earlier, he mentioned a plan for acquiring Johnson Corporation. Harvey's
"According to what Jennifer said, she and Anthony have lost touch for a while now. Recently, Anthony unexpectedly showed up in Stoneford City and became her client. It's apparent that he's doing this to get close to Jennifer again," Tyler continued.Tyler never expressed his opinions on the situation between Jennifer and Anthony. Thus, hearing his view on the matter made Vicky realize that someone in a position of power like Tyler saw things differently from ordinary people.When faced with such a situation, most people would think about how to free Anthony from Lily's control, yet Tyler seemed to view the situation differently. He believed that it was precisely because the circumstances had spiraled out of control that Lily became disoriented and allowed Jennifer to find the truth.Vicky studied his face. "So, what can be done to break Lily's hold on Anthony?"Tyler leaned back, his posture lazy yet elegant as he posed a counter-question. "Do you really think Anthony is completely
After scanning the entire document, Tyler put it away expressionlessly....After exiting Tyler's office, Vicky called Isabella to inform her about Tyler's recent behavior."Doctor Yelmon, he isn't as dependent on me lately. Does it mean that...his condition is improving?"Isabella was surprised and said, "That's right. Mister Hart's condition seems to be stabilizing.""Then..." Vicky narrowed her eyes worriedly. "Can we reduce the dosage of his medication? I rarely go to work with him lately, and it's getting hard to fool him... Besides, I keep feeling like I'm doing something bad."Isabella chuckled. "Mister Hart is getting better now, so I'm sure he'll understand even if you're to tell him the truth. After all, you're doing this for his own good."Her consolation made Vicky feel slightly better. "Does he have to keep taking the medicine three times a day?" she asked."Well, let's continue for another week. If nothing goes wrong, we can consider lowering the dosage," Isabella
In the photo, Tyler spotted Vicky's familiar silhouette as well as Braxton's face.Braxton had not been out of the hospital for long. Though he narrowly escaped death, his health was completely wrecked.The angle of the shot was odd, and from the somewhat blurry photo, it was apparent the image had been magnified.In the picture, Vicky appeared to be handing something to Braxton. Due to the poor resolution, it was impossible to discern what it was.Meanwhile, Avery continued to bombard Tyler with messages.[Tyler, Braxton never assaulted Vicky. Vicky intentionally made you believe otherwise, causing you to physically confront Braxton in public, offending his side of the family and upsetting the other members of the Hart family.][Old Mister Hart came to Zendonia with clear intentions. You could've seized this opportunity to compete as heir for the Harts, but with this spectacle, you've lost everyone's trust. You won't be able to inherit the Hart family's business without more sub
Instead of heading to the hospital for a checkup, Tyler called his subordinate. "Send me all the surveillance footage from the Harts' mansion," he instructed.About 10 minutes later, Tyler received all the surveillance videos.Meanwhile, as Vicky arrived at the mansion, she was promptly greeted by Valencia's associates.Valencia was seated in the grand hall on the ground floor, dressed in a tight backless dress. Her figure was alluring and her appearance was youthful, despite her actual age.Elegantly reclined on the sofa while sipping tea, she lifted her gaze lazily as Vicky approached. Instead of inviting her to sit or bother with insincere pleasantries, she simply said, "Braxton has been discharged."Vicky looked at her in a similarly detached manner. "I imagine you called me here for something important, Missus Hart.""Everyone knows who injured Braxton, and so do we. Tyler not only injured Braxton but also harmed his own uncle in the process." Valencia set her teacup down, h
After a few moments of silence, Vicky asked, "Do you have any other requests, Missus Hart?""No. You may leave after taking this to Braxton. I know you don't want to see me, nor do I want to see you."Valencia's reasoning seemed flawless, but Vicky still felt that something was off. She tried to see past what was happening but could not think of anything in the end."Missus Hart, sorry for asking, but how did you find out about Tyler's condition?" she asked.Tyler's mental issues were supposed to be a secret known only to Vicky, Harvey, and Isabella.Tyler once helped the Yelmons, so it was unlikely that Isabella said anything to others. Harvey had been Vicky's friend for years, and she knew he would never use Tyler's illness against him despite their previous rivalry.This brought her to question how Valencia came to know about what happened.Valencia smirked. "Vicky, I birthed Tyler. As his mother, do you really think I can't sense anything unusual about him? Do you truly beli
The emotions in Avery's eyes seemed genuine. Valencia had never seen her with such a loving expression whenever she was with Lincoln.Valencia, being a seasoned observer of people, immediately recognized the depth of Avery's feelings for Tyler.Valencia smirked.Once a woman fell in love, she was doomed for failure. Though Avery's intricate and malicious schemes were indeed unrivaled, she was still too young.Valencia realized she could easily control Avery using Tyler. Tyler's mental condition predetermined he had no chance of being the heir to any powerful family, and consequently, even the Yeagers would be Lincoln's to command.Valencia had made up her mind, but she knew she could not appear too eager to agree with Avery's plan. Thus, she said worriedly, "But Tyler is ill..."Avery quickly reassured her. "You don't have to worry. I have a way to cure Tyler."After a prolonged silence, Valencia spoke again. "Tyler is, after all, my biological son. You have to explain your enti
