Chapter 1114
The smile on Avery’s face froze in place. "So, you’re saying that you don't want to apologize?"
"Why should I apologize when I didn't do anything wrong?" Vicky said coldly.
"Is it not wrong for you to shove Missus Hart into the lake?" Avery asked in surprise.
"Are you saying that when someone's life is in danger, it is wrong for them to act out of self-defense? Are you
saying that if they end up injuring the person who was hurting them, they should apologize?" Vicky retorted.
Avery was instantly rendered speechless.
As a highly educated noble lady, she could not bring herself to be unreasonable, but Valencia was different.
She pointed angrily at Vicky and exclaimed, "Don't think you can get away with some fabricated nonsense, Vicky. I

And-"
Before Valencia could finish her words, Tyler spoke up," Vicky, apologize to Mother."
Vicky was taken aback and looked up at Tyler.
His exquisitely handsome face was completely devoid of emotion. His tone was steady and his voice remained calm
as if he was discussing a perfectly normal matter.
Vicky could not believe what she was hearing and asked," What did you say?"
Tyler lowered his head, his gaze meeting Vicky's astonished eyes as he softly repeated himself, "Apologize to
Mother."
At that moment, Tyler assumed a protective stance, his tall figure enveloping her in his embrace, as a guardian
would. His hands held her frozen fingers, providing a constant stream of warmth that dispelled the chill of moments
ago.
Her blood ran cold within an instant upon hearing his words.
Valencia was stunned as well but soon revealed a satisfied expression.
From her perspective, her son had been ensnared by Vicky years ago to the point where he abandoned his own
parents. Just recently, to seek justice for Vicky, he even publicly demanded an apology, showing no regard or
respect for Valencia as his mother.
Valencia thought that Tyler would act the same way this time as well, but surprisingly, Tyler stood by her side.
Observing this, Avery smiled and said, "Miss Shaw, regardless of how you feel, Missus Hart, Mister Hart, and myself
believe that you should apologize... It may not matter when one person accuses you of wrongdoing, but when
everyone thinks it's your fault, Miss Shaw, don't you think you should reflect on your actions?"

Vicky’s lips curled into a cold smile.
She had indeed made the mistake of believing Tyler's lies about protecting her and wasting precious time that she
should have utilized to get away.
She had forgotten that she had a fight with Tyler over Lincoln's injury merely a few days ago, and Tyler could not
possibly let it go so easily.
Vicky expressionlessly withdrew her hand from Tyler's palm. "When one wishes to give someone a hard time, it's
not difficult to find a reason to do so. Miss Yeager is soon to be Missus Hart's daughter-in-law, and Mister Hart is her
son. If you all think I'm at fault, I truly have nothing to say."
Tyler sensed the implications in her words, furrowed his brow, and firmly gripped Vicky's hand. "Don't be foolish."
"I won't apologize," Vicky said with annoyance as she tried to shake his hand off. "Let go."
Tyler seemed to want to say something when a warm, deep voice rose in the air. "What's going on here?"
