Chapter 1286
The situation that Vicky mentioned was indeed known to many high-ranking executives in the company.
Mister Zeeland snorted coldly. "Ms. Shaw, are you saying that Mister Hart has been on vacation with you all this
time?"
"That's right."
Mister Zeeland persisted. "It's understandable that Mister Hart wanted to take a break, but the company is facing
such a big issue, and even the company's market value is being affected. At such a critical moment, it's
unacceptable that Mister Hart refuses to come forward."

annoying that I took the liberty of turning off his phone." Vicky narrowed her eyes as she scanned the people in the
room. "Who could've imagined that such outrageous rumors would spread outside? What surprised me even more
was that when the Hart Corporation faced a crisis, there isn’t a single soul here in this entire office to handle it but
Tyler, leaving him with no choice but to come back to stabilize the situation."
She paused for a moment with a faint smile. "Are you all paid to laze around here?"
Her words fell, and the entire conference room suddenly fell into silence.
Many people lowered their heads in shame.
Mister Zeeland was furious for being publicly mocked by a woman. With a loud bang, he slammed the table heavily
and stood up, pointing angrily at Vicky. "If it weren't for you, who turned Mister Hart's phone off, would the Hart
Corporation's market value drop? You are nothing but a troublemaker-"
"Mister Zeeland," interrupted Tyler. "Vicky is my wife. Please show some respect."
Mister Zeeland became more agitated seeing as Vicky and Tyler remained on the same side. He sneered, "Tyler
Hart, whether you're on vacation or suffering from amnesia, bringing this woman here is just to make her take the
blame, right? What kind of a man are you to hide behind a woman?"
Vicky knew how proud Tyler was and grew annoyed. "Mister Zeeland, watch your tongue. Tyler and I are husband
and wife; we are one entity. What is his, is mine. As his wife, it is my rightful duty to stand up and speak for him. As
for you, Mister Zeeland..." She sneered. "As one of the directors of the Hart Corporation, instead of trying to solve
the problem, you're the one starting internal conflicts and adding fuel to the fire. Are you trying to cooperate with
those eager competitors outside in the hope of gaining some benefits from it?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMister Zeeland and Tyler had been at odds for a long time, and many people were aware of it. No one dared to
mention it, yet Vicky had publicly spoken the truth and flustered Mister Zeeland.
"Vicky Shaw, you b-"
Before he could finish, a glass cup flew over and hit Mister Zeeland in the head audibly. Blood streamed down
Mister Zeeland's wound.
It had all happened too fast. Everyone, including Vicky, froze in shock.
"Mister Zeeland, did you not understand what I said?" Tyler asked calmly, the look in his eyes darkening viciously.
His intimidating presence intensified, and tension rose in the air.
The others turned to gape at Tyler.
Though Tyler was never a gentleman and was known for his ruthlessness, he rarely resorted to violence in public.
People who enraged him would often disappear or suffer some sort of tragedy the next day.
