Loving You In Secret

Chapter 845

Vicky fell quiet for a while before blurting out, “Was that the excuse you used to make me break up with Tyler?”

Old Mister Hart was taken by surprise at first but soon started chucking. “Made you? I guess you’ve truly lost your

memories, Ms. Shaw. No one made you. You chose this path on your own.”

“I don’t believe you.”

“That’s the truth. You were the one who came to me, begging for help.” Old Mister Hart smiled. “This is a big family,

and Tyler isn’t exactly a necessary addition. When I said that I wanted to bring him back into the family, over half of

the family members protested, including…” He sighed. “Including Tyler’s biological parents. Regardless, I don’t think

the blood of the Harts should stray out there, so I took Tyler back despite all the voices telling me against it.”

Old Mister Hart was one of the most influential people in the world when he was young but was old and plagued by

conservative beliefs and thoughts, so he valued blood above all.

“I’ve allowed Tyler to do anything he wanted and get wherever he wanted. Do you think you could marry Tyler

otherwise?”

Vicky had not remembered everything about the past, so she did not believe in every word Old Mister Hart said.

After all, the truly cunning ones would hide their lies in the truth, making it difficult to detect.

Vicky glanced at the chessboard on the table.

Old Mister Hart seemed approachable but was ruthless when it came to chess.

She knew she could not possibly rival such a man, so she changed the subject. “You still haven’t talked about the

car accident.”

Old Mister Hart nodded. “Five years after Valencia gave up her share, Orion woke up. When he found out that his

wife had remained by his side throughout the time when he was unconscious and raised their son to be obedient

and kind, he felt like he owed his family a great deal. Valencia and Lincoln relied on one another for years, so

Lincoln was even more important to Valencia than her own life. She doesn’t need him to be successful and only

wants him to have a peaceful life. Lincoln had been behaving as though he had no ambition and didn’t catch the

eyes of other members of the family for years. Even I was fooled.”

Vicky frowned. “So…he was just pretending to be meek and unambitious?”

“Yes.” Old Mister Hart sighed. “By the time I realized what happened, he had already recovered the share Valencia

sold and even obtained the support of a few family members under my nose.”

Vicky’s heart sank. “That means that you want Tyler to return to the family because you need him there to keep

Lincoln in place, right?”

The talk about blood and lineage had all been nothing but excuses. After a few thoughtful moments, she said, “So

the car accident Tyler’s adoptive parents ran into back then was either the work of Lincoln or Tyler’s biological

parents. Is that right?”

Old Mister Hart shot her an impressed look. “You’ve grown smarter, Ms. Shaw.”

“Old Mister Hart, who exactly is the culprit?”
