Aria, who remained quiet the entire time, spoke up, "Ms. Shaw, the wedding is still ongoing. Can you please leave?"Vicky attempted to take a step forward, but for some reason, she felt rooted in place.Aria furrowed her brow lightly and assumed Vicky was being uncooperative. "If you insist on staying, I'll have to call security."Being forcibly removed by security personnel would undoubtedly be the greatest humiliation for anyone.Aurora, who realized what was happening, and the others finally rushed in. "There's no need for that." She gave Tyler a cold look. "We'll leave on our own."Jennifer, Cece, and Harvey approached to assist Vicky, preparing to take her away. However, a moment later, Vicky fainted....Darkness spread like an endless nightmare.Vicky's lashes fluttered, and she opened her eyes."Vicky? Are you awake?" a deep, magnetic voice sounded from the side, tinged with a hint of surprise.Vicky turned her head and saw a familiar face. "Harvey?"She had been cha
Anyone would struggle to remain indifferent after suffering such humiliation on their wedding day, but Vicky remained surprisingly calm."That's just who Tyler is." Vicky looked out of the window. "He's never been magnanimous and always seeks revenge whenever someone crosses him. Doing something like this doesn't come as a surprise."Turning her head, she looked at Harvey. "To be honest, I'm somewhat relieved now. I don't have to worry about how he'll view me or treat me once he regains his memory. I don't have to live in constant guilt... This is actually a good thing."Although Vicky's tone and expression appeared relaxed, Harvey knew she could not be as indifferent as she appeared to be.She never forgot Tyler even after four years had passed. When their paths crossed again, she allowed herself to believe that there were no obstacles between them and that they could finally be together, but it was all a lie.Tyler was more ruthless than she ever imagined.After careful consid
"The Hart family has launched a fierce retaliation against us, intercepting our orders at any cost. Yeager Corporation isn't doing so great either."Avery did not seem worried at all. "When it comes to losses, the Hart family must be suffering more, right?""That's one way to put it, but if we engage in this fight, both sides may end up worse off," Alana cautioned.Avery remained untroubled. "Even if we can't hold out, the Hart family will falter first. Don't worry, Mom. It won't be long before Tyler comes begging us for help."Concerned, Alana said, "Let's hope so."Avery then thought of her fetus and asked, "Mom, since this child isn't Tyler's, what do you think if I...consider getting rid of it?"Avery had no intention of having Lincoln's child. After careful consideration, she believed that given Tyler's pride, he would not want anything to do with her once he found out that she was pregnant with Lincoln's child."It's not the right time yet," Alana advised. "You're still le
Vicky instinctively patted her belly. 'This child...can't stay.'Vicky's heart ached at the thought, and she was overwhelmed by suffocating pain....A week later.The atmosphere in the Hart Corporation's conference room was tense. This meeting was not an ordinary board meeting; it was an internal meeting for the Hart family.The meeting was of utmost importance, and nearly everyone with a stake in the Hart Corporation was present. There were more people here than at the family's annual festive banquet.Old Mister Hart, who had been out of the picture for a long time, sat in the first seat on the right, listening to the discussions around him with a stern expression."What's going on this time? Is Hart Corporation's liquidity really in trouble?""I can't believe Tyler made such a foolish decision!""I think Avery has brainwashed him! He handed all our important partnerships to the Yeager family. Isn't he afraid that the Yeager family can turn on us? Now, they have leverage o
Tyler was known for being fair and never mistreated his own people. This was one of the reasons he quickly gained control of the Hart family. Moreover, he possessed real skills and intelligence.After taking over the reins of Hart Corporation, the company's decline came to an abrupt halt, and its stock prices surged. Thus, the Hart family members had a lot of trust in Tyler's abilities.They asked a few more worrisome questions, and Tyler patiently addressed each one. When they noticed how unfazed he was, their suspended anxiety gradually faded, and the meeting ended quickly.Everyone first entered the room solemnly, but as the meeting ended, everyone left the room with smiles.Old Mister Hart, who remained silent, observed the scene, feeling both relieved and resigned.Only Old Mister Hart and Tyler remained seated after everyone left.Tyler looked at Old Mister Hart and asked, "Grandfather, is there anything else you'd like to discuss?"Old Mister Hart leaned on his cane and i
As instructed, they followed Vicky when she left home.When Tyler's men saw her heading to the hospital and registering at the gynecology department, they began to feel something was amiss.After conducting a thorough investigation, they discovered she was there for an abortion procedure. While they did not know whose child it was, this was a significant matter as there was a chance she was carrying Tyler's child.Tyler's expression hardened. "Which hospital?"After ending the call, Tyler did not even bother to address Old Mister Hart and stormed off....Vicky felt weak. Even if she wanted to terminate the pregnancy, she had to wait until her physical condition improved before the doctors could perform the procedure.She spent about a week at home, focusing on recuperating and contemplating whether to keep the child.In the end, she decided against it. Even if she could not become a mother in the future, she could not bring a child into the world just for her selfish desires.
Before the nurse could finish her sentence, someone forcefully pushed her aside.The man's strength was overwhelming, and the nurse ended up falling onto a medical cart. Bottles and jars on the cart crashed to the ground, shattering into pieces.Emanating a terrifying presence, the man looked menacing, his gaze sharp and overpowering.The two doctors were frozen in place, too frightened to intervene.The man's gaze swept over them, and landed on Vicky, who was lying on the operating table.He strode over and grabbed Vicky by the neck, lifting her forcefully. He glared at her with bloodshot eyes and roared, "Vicky Shaw! How dare you try to kill my child?!"Unable to break free from his grip, she began to suffocate. Just when her consciousness was about to blur, Tyler finally released his grip....Aurora realized she could not reach Vicky and quickly checked with Jennifer and Cece. "Have any of you contacted Vicky recently? I can't reach her," she said.Vicky's phone was switch
Tyler did not wait for her response and turned to the doctors at the door. "Give her a check-up."The doctors waiting at the door walked in orderly and began to examine Vicky.Tyler had them check Vicky's condition daily and inquire about the baby's well-being.Seeing that Vicky was bound to the bed, the doctors dared not to linger and avert their gaze. After the routine examination was completed, one of the doctors walked out and reported to Tyler."Ms. Shaw's physical condition has started to stabilize after days of care and rest, but..."Tyler furrowed his brow. "Spit it out."The doctor hesitated before continuing, "Ms. Shaw's fetus is unstable due to the early stages of pregnancy and excessive fatigue. She's had some time to recuperate, but..."Being confined to a bed all day, with no activity beyond eating and sleeping, was hardly helpful for a recovery.Under Tyler's intimidating gaze, the doctor continued hesitantly, "Pregnant women shouldn't lie in bed all day. They ne
