Moreover, Tyler's subsequent plans were even more ruthlessly cunning, essentially aiming to force her onto a path of no return.Since he hated her so much, Vicky decided to hate him with all her heart as well, which made his proposal of remarrying ridiculous.She continued, "If it weren't for this child, you wouldn't have stopped your plan, would you? By the time you're done, we would've detested each other, and it might've been..."Realization dawned on her, and her voice suddenly trailed off as a terrifying thought crossed her mind.Suddenly, Tyler's phone rang. He glanced at Vicky and answered the call.It seemed to be a complicated matter as the call went on for quite some time.Tyler spoke very little, but judging from his occasional responses, it seemed to be related to the Hart family.Finally, the call concluded with him saying, "I'll be right there."Ending the call, Tyler looked at Vicky. "I have something to attend to. I need to go out for a while."Vicky did not re
After a moment of hesitation, Aurora spoke, "Vicky, how about you give birth to this child for him?"Vicky was somewhat surprised by Aurora's suggestion. "Don't you hate Tyler the most?""Yeah, okay, I do dislike Tyler and wish he'd stay far away from you, but... Given Tyler's personality, he might kill you if you terminate this pregnancy."Aurora would rather her close friend live well, even if it meant giving a man she loathed what he wanted.Aurora continued, "Vicky, do you remember Doctor Yelmon?""I do."Aurora sighed. "We were all very worried when you disappeared. But now that you're pregnant, if he insists on keeping you around, he might hurt you somehow."Hence, Vicky’s friends could not act rashly without being fully prepared."We thought we could find a different angle to approach this and started looking for Tyler's weakness. After some investigation, we found something related to Doctor Yelmon."Vicky frowned. "What did you find?""We don't have the exact details
Vicky was taken aback. "Everyone? What do you mean?""In his plan, he plotted to seek revenge on you, the Harts and the Yeagers... Everyone."Vicky's expression darkened. "What does he want to do?""I'm guessing he wants to drag everyone down with him."...At this moment, the atmosphere in the Hart mansion was tense.Almost everyone in the Hart family who had a say in matters was present and looked visibly anxious. Even Old Mister Hart's expression was exceptionally grim."Old Mister Hart, what's going on? Tyler has been confidently saying for a while now that he has a solution.""Yes! It's been so long, and instead of improving, our family business has only deteriorated further.""If this continues, our family will really be on the brink of bankruptcy!"No matter how wealthy they were, they could not sustain endless losses. Moreover, the Yeager family was not a minor player either.Under such fierce confrontation, the Harts' business losses had been severe.They managed t
The Hart family members ranted and criticized Tyler incessantly, but Tyler remained unfazed.Half an hour later, Old Mister Hart finally spoke up. "That's enough, all of you. Be quiet!" he shouted angrily. "Leave. I need to have a private conversation with Tyler."Old Mister Hart had held sway over the Hart family for many years, and his authority ran deep.Everyone in the room still hoped Old Mister Hart would come up with a solution that would allow them to continue enjoying their wealth and prosperity, so they dared not defy him.With cold glares aimed at Tyler, they left one by one.Thus, only Tyler and Old Mister Hart were left in the living room.Old Mister Hart's voice trembled. "It seems Saul's hypnosis has failed. These years, you've never had any sense of belonging to the Hart family, and...I suppose you resent me and the Harts. Isn't that right?"Old Mister Hart was a person who prioritized his interests. For the sake of profit, he could give up his family and loved o
Tyler returned late at night and assumed Vicky had gone to sleep. However, when he pushed open the bedroom door and saw the familiar figure sitting on the couch, he narrowed his eyes."Why is she not asleep?" he asked Jade, his brow furrowed. "Is she unwell again?""No," Jade replied softly. "Ms. Shaw said she's not very sleepy right now."Tyler nodded gently. "You can o rest."Approaching Vicky, he noticed that she was reading a book. His gaze landed on the book in her hands—a book he bought about pregnancy care. His eyes sparkled with a hint of emotion, and his voice softened. "How do you feel today?"Vicky did not look up from her book. "I can carry this child to term."Tyler abruptly turned his gaze toward her, his eyes piercing to the extent that she could feel them on her.Setting the book aside, she met the man's deep, dark eyes. "After the child is born, I will entrust him to you. From then on, we will sever all connections."The warmth in his eyes, which had been so in
"You stayed up until this time just to talk to me about this?"Vicky nodded, her expression determined. "It's better to make things clear sooner or later."Tyler's expression grew even colder."You don't have to answer me in a hurry. Take your time to think it over, and then give me your response," Vicky added.She stood up. "It's getting late. I'll rest now."Vicky displayed remarkable composure, even a sense of confidence.For the sake of their child, Tyler had let go of hatred and his plans, so there was no reason for him not to grant her freedom. At this point, their child was the most important thing to him, and a bond connected by blood might just temper his extreme thoughts.The following day, after a night of contemplation, Tyler eventually agreed to her proposal. "I accept your terms, but with a modification," he said indifferently. "You'll stay here until you give birth, and I need to ensure the safety of the child's birth."Given Tyler's domineering personality, he m
Vicky looked at Tyler in surprise. "Are you coming along?""I don't have anything to do today, so I can keep you company," Tyler replied calmly.Vicky instinctively tried to refuse. "You don't have to."Tyler frowned. "Why not?""I accepted having Jade around to protect me when I go out; I never agreed to let you follow me around," Vicky stated firmly.Tyler was unhappy with her explanation, but he managed to control his temper. "I'm not just following you around. I'm here to protect you."Vicky did not believe him."As the child's father, I can better ensure your safety," he added. It seemed Tyler had made up his mind and would not change his decision regardless of how Vicky protested. He even added, "You can think of me as any regular bodyguard."'Any regular bodyguard, huh? He's anything but ordinary with his looks,' Vicky thought and felt that he was being unreasonable.Running late, Vicky could not afford to argue any further, so she reluctantly agreed.Once inside the
Tyler glanced at Vicky and stood quietly behind her.Aurora felt excited that Tyler was paying for all the pain, suffering, and humiliation Vicky once faced. She was determined to torture Tyler at her best effort.Aurora called the waiter over and ordered two cups of coffee. Tyler, who had been silent all this time, spoke, "Don't drink too much coffee. It's not good for the baby."Aurora furrowed her brow. "Vicky, do all bodyguards talk so much?"Regardless, Aurora replaced Vicky's coffee with juice.The coffee shop was not crowded, but Tyler's tall and graceful figure—coupled with his regal aura—instantly drew everyone's attention. Many young girls blushed just from glancing at him.Being the center of attention made Vicky feel uncomfortable, and she looked up at Tyler. "You should sit elsewhere."Fully embracing his role, Tyler cooperated willingly. He chose a seat that was not too close to Vicky but allowed him to intervene if something happened.Seeing Tyler take his seat,
