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
Avery did not consider Tyler's stubbornness an issue and was determined to find another way to achieve her goal."Do you want Tyler to go insane?" Valencia frowned. "I won't let that happen."If Tyler went mad, Lincoln would not be able to gain power with Tyler's resources either.Avery detected Valencia's thoughts and smirked. "It's not that easy to make Tyler go insane, Missus Hart. His willpower is strong, and even the most skilled hypnotists can't do anything to him... But you already know that, right?"Valencia sensed there was more to Avery's words, and her expression shifted. "What do you mean?"Avery casually toyed with her fingernails. "Remember how you once hired countless capable hypnotists to try and hypnotize Tyler? It's a shame that all of them failed.""How do you know about that?""Don't get so worked up," Avery said gently. "I study medicine and major in psychiatry, so things that happen in our circle don't escape my attention. Naturally, I'm not trying to black
It felt like a blunt knife was pushed into Tyler's body, tearing him apart.Despite the pain, he refused to believe Vicky would betray him.Just then, the phone placed on his study desk suddenly rang, disrupting the tumultuous thoughts in his mind and alleviating the headache by the slightest.Almost instinctively, he answered the call."Tyler," came Valencia's voice from the other end. "Are you free tomorrow? I want to meet with you." Without waiting for Tyler to respond, she added, "Vicky came over to my place earlier this afternoon. After much consideration, I decided to tell you something."Tyler knew Vicky had gone to see Valencia, but the specifics of their conversation remained a mystery to him. After a long silence, he hoarsely said, "Alright."Satisfied, Valencia hung up the phone....The next day.While Vicky was working in the studio, she suddenly received a call from Harry."Missus Hart, Mister Hart fainted. Please come to the hospital now!" blurted Harry.Vicky
Valencia's tone was icy. "Vicky, if it weren't for you, Tyler wouldn't have refused to come home. He's an ambitious, capable young man. Returning to the Hart family would've taken him even higher in terms of power and status. He's given up too much just to be with you!"At that time, Orion and I owed Tyler, and we even thought of letting you two remain together at the time, but he shouldn't have hurt Lincoln for your sake!"I'm angry at Tyler, but he's still my biological son. He wouldn't have encountered this disaster of a woman like you if Orion and I hadn't lost him! No matter how bad Tyler's relationship is with us, he will always be our son, and you... You're the monster that kept us apart." Valencia enunciated each word in fury. "Vicky, I won't allow you to stay by Tyler's side and divide us!"Valencia never considered if she was in the wrong and blamed it all on Vicky.Vicky stared silently at Valencia. "So? What are you trying to say, Missus Hart?""Vicky, I've given you m
"What's wrong? Have I been unconscious for a while?"Vicky's lips quivered. "Tyler, have you really...lost your memories again?""Memories about what?""..." Instantly, Vicky's mind went blank and she stared at Tyler dazedly, feeling as though her heart had stopped beating.Sensing that something was wrong, Tyler sat up and asked calmly, "Have I lost my memories?"She snapped out of it and turned around, only to find that Valencia had disappeared....Vicky called Isabella over.After a thorough examination, Isabella's expression turned grim. "A powerful hallucinogenic drug with a profound impact on the mind has been detected in Mister Hart's system."Recalling Valencia's words, Vicky paled. "Will this drug affect his memory? Doctor Yelmon, he's suffering from amnesia again..."During this period, Vicky searched for a lot of information related to mental health. Repeated memory loss was, in fact, the beginning of mental disturbance.Isabella had not anticipated such a devast
"Then, should we continue with the treatment?" Vicky asked."With this kind of unexpected development, the original treatment plan is likely ineffective. I need to go back and re-evaluate the next steps. However..." Isabella's expression darkened. "I don't think it'd be possible to treat him without him knowing anymore. What's certain is that what we perceive as sudden changes might've been bothering Mister Hart for quite a while..." said Isabella hesitantly."Doctor Yelmon, is there something you aren't telling me?"Isabella sighed. "During the hypnosis, I attempted to have Mister Hart open up, but I failed. His emotional barriers are tightly sealed, so...I'm not entirely sure what's been happening. For someone like Mister Hart, he'll only collapse if his stress has been accumulating for a while."Vicky grasped Isabella's implication and asked, "Are you suggesting...that he's been under stress for a while now?""Exactly.""But I've been with him day in and day out. I know what h
