Harvey smiled. "I heard Old Mister Hart had a teenage sweetheart from a relatively well-off family. They were about to get married when a girl from a richer family fell in love with Old Mister Hart. She promised him she'd help him achieve dominion over the entire Hart family if he agreed to marry her."Sad to say, Old Mister Hart didn't even think twice about leaving his fiance at the altar and marrying the richer girl. My heart goes out to his fiance. Can you imagine being dumped on your wedding day?"Isabella did not know much about the Hart family's secret history, so she simply listened.Harvey decided enough had been said on the topic, so he changed to another one. "I know we still don't have a clue what happened to Tyler that day, but shouldn't we at least have something to go on after treating him for so long?"They were just picking up where they had left off before Tyler came."Based on what I've seen, I'm pretty sure Mister Hart went through some sort of traumatic experi
After listening to Vicky's account, Tyler fell silent for a long while.He was clear-headed for the moment, but who was to say how long this clarity would last? He might forget everything tomorrow, or the day after, or even the next second.Suddenly, Tyler felt his head pounding, much to Vicky's shock."Tyler, are you okay?""I'm fine," he replied groggily. His vision blurred as he struggled to make out the features of the face before him."Tyler..." Concern filled her eyes and voiceHer figure twisted into a strange shape before his eyes, and Tyler abruptly pushed her away. "Stop acting! You're acting concerned to please me now, just so I'll let my guard down and you can secretly escape with Alex, right?!"Vicky stared at him in astonishment. "You... Have you forgotten again?""Forgotten?" He smirked. "I'll never forget what you did to me."Vicky's breath stalled, and her eyes dimmed gradually.Tyler's memory lapses had become increasingly frequent.The intensity of Tyler's
Vicky opened her eyes and stared at the crazed man before her before saying, "Tyler…I don't want to die."Tyler flinched. A few moments later, he let go as though he was burnt.Vicky fell onto the ground and coughed.The malicious intent in Tyler's eyes faded slightly when he stared at Vicky's pained expression. His chest heaved as he struggled to contain his anger."Don't even think for a second I'm going to let you leave with Alex," he said viciously. "Get rid of this child!""... I'm not pregnant right now," Vicky said.Baam!The table lamp by the sofa was thrown to the ground, and Vicky trembled as she observed him. She had grown accustomed to Tyler's suspicious nature, explosive temper, and even his hallucinations. He even suspected that she was trying to poison him when she merely cooked for him.Vicky had a hunch that Tyler might know about her attempt to drug him with medicine in the food before he started having hallucinations, but he merely remained quiet as she hande
Vicky assumed Tyler was badly injured when she noticed his blank stare. "Tyler, can you get up? Should I call an ambulance?"Tyler collected himself and said hoarsely, "I'm fine."Gently pushing Vicky aside, he quickly got up. Although there were shards and debris scattered all over the ground, Tyler had not sustained any severe injuries as he wore a suit jacket. Only the back of his hand was exposed to the debris and suffered from a few cuts.From Tyler's perspective, a few cuts were nothing to be worried about, but Vicky noticed and immediately held his hand."Your hand is cut. Let's treat it with ointment right away." She led him upstairs, holding his hand gently.Tyler instinctively wanted to shake off her hand and mock her for pretending to be concerned as that was what he thought. However, for some reason, he found himself following her upstairs silently when he saw the concern on her face.Vicky swiftly fetched the medical kit.Though the wounds were not very serious, the
It was only then Vicky realized Tyler had no boundaries or limits when it came to her....Tyler took Vicky to the hospital for an abortion the next morning, but after a brief body check, the doctor softly declared, "Mister Hart, your wife...isn't pregnant."Tyler narrowed his eyes. "What did you say?"The doctor trembled and repeated, "Missus Hart...isn't pregnant."Tyler was unwilling to believe it.He snatched the medical report from the doctor's hand, and his expression darkened after reading it carefully. He grabbed Vicky's wrist and said to Harry, "Arrange for a different hospital sponsored by Hart Corporation."Harry hesitated to speak, wanting to tell Tyler that this hospital was, in fact, owned by Hart Corporation.Vicky shook her head at Harry, gesturing for him to make the arrangements.Such situations happened many times before, and Harry had grown used to them.Tyler's suspicion that Vicky was carrying another man's child seemed absurd, and considering Tyler's cu
"I know you're in a bad mood, so I'll let this slide for now. I'll repay this slap in the future!" Avery's gaze turned cold. "I promise I'll return the favor."Vicky glanced at her indifferently and was about to walk past Avery to leave. Looking at Avery alone made her nauseous.She and Isabella were sure Avery was behind Tyler's worsening condition, but unfortunately, they had no evidence to prove it.As she was leaving, Avery called after her. "Vicky, based on the clues you and Isabella have gathered, you should've pieced things together, right?"Uninterested in Avery's attempts to sow discord, Vicky was about to leave when Avery added, "Have I ever told you there's only one way to cure Tyler?"Vicky knew Avery had malicious intentions and that she should not believe anything Avery said, Nonetheless, Vicky slowed down at the mention of Tyler's name.Avery's words might not all be true, but she was so arrogant and self-assured that she might accidentally reveal the truth.Seein
Avery smirked viciously.Vicky's grip tightened around the phone as she recognized her voice.A moment later, the melodious voice of a man followed."Thank you for everything you've done for these past few years, Vicky. It must've been hard to remain by his side and put up with him for my sake.""It's fine; I'm just doing what I should do. After what he did to you back then, I've always wanted to retaliate... Right now, he's already transferred fifty-one percent of his company's share to me. Once he loses his mind, I'll transfer all of that to you.""Vicky, do you really...feel nothing for him?""No." The woman's voice was ruthless in the video. "He's forced me to be with him all these years. He's taken me forcibly, imprisoned me, and he never cared about my feelings. If I truly wanted to be with him, I wouldn't have tried to escape multiple times. I came so close to being with you the last time I escaped, but he caught me again!"Her voice dripped with bitterness. "I hate him t
When she saw Vicky's startled expression, Avery's smile widened. "Surprised?" She teased.Vicky bent down to pick up the phone. The sounds of the couple engaging in unspeakable acts were painfully clear in the silent corridor.Vicky's gaze refocused on the screen of her phone, her blood running cold. After watching for a bit longer, her gaze sharpened, and she coldly said, "That's not me.""That's right," Avery admitted."Who are they?"Crossing her arms, Avery playfully replied, "Guess."Vicky lowered her head, ignoring the explicit content on the screen, and calmly said, "The visuals aren't that clear, but from these angles, it's convincing enough to fool others into believing that's me. If I'm not mistaken, you found two individuals who looked a lot like Harvey and I and had them act out this scene, right?""While there are some differences, what you've said is essentially correct."Avery had a purpose in coming to Vicky, so she did not bother to mess around for long. "There
