“If I’m not mistaken,” Old Mister Hart said, “Orion and Valencia are probably responsible for it. Valencia loves
Lincoln to death, and Orion feels guilty for what happened to his wife when he was unconscious… He knew that
Valencia would fall apart if Lincoln returned to his actual parents.”
Old Mister Hart’s words left Vicky frustrated.
If Tyler had indeed gone to the wrong family as a result of a scheme, he was the biggest victim.
Lincoln grew up being loved by his parents, and his adoptive mother treasured him with everything she had even
after learning that he was not her biological son.
Tyler, on the other hand, did not have a good relationship with his adoptive parents, and they did not even bother
calling when he fell ill. More precisely, they probably did not even know he had fallen sick.

Though Old Mister Hart said he did not want his blood relative to stray outside, he did not truly care about Tyler.
Vicky figured that Old Mister Hart noticed Lincoln’s ambition and was concerned that Lincoln might end up with the
Harts’ inheritance, so he wanted Tyler back to distract Lincoln.
Tyler had never been loved by his adoptive parents, nor did his biological parents want him back. Even his
grandfather wished to use him.
Vicky’s heart ached for Tyler, and she began to look down on Old Mister Hart.
“What about Tyler? Do they really not care about their real son?”
Old Mister Hart frowned at the mention of Tyler. “After learning the truth, both Orion and Valencia felt sorry, and
when Valencia recovered enough to travel, they went to see Tyler. However… Tyler was far too cold and distant.
Some things happened after that, and their relationship with Tyler simply worsened.”
Vicky chuckled darkly. “Cold and distant… Are those excuses for parents to not love their son? If they truly want
Tyler to return to them, why wait this long?”
Old Mister Hart was not offended by her comment and smiled. “You’re right. Those are nothing but excuses.
However, it’s a fact that Tyler and his parents struggle to bond. To be honest, I wanted to support Tyler throughout
the years, but he wants nothing to do with us. Still, even if he doesn’t want anything, his existence alone will cause
others to target him. Ms. Shaw, do you understand what I’m saying?”
Vicky kept her eyes on Old Mister Hart. “I don’t suppose that you’re telling me all these for no reason, right?”
“You knew these before you lost your memories, so I’m just informing you once again.”
“What would you like for me to do, Old Mister Hart?”
“Nothing.” Old Mister Hart toyed with the white pieces on the chessboard. “I only want you to know that humans
have never ceased fighting amongst themselves over benefits, even when they’re supposed to be a family. I’ve

witnessed what Tyler is capable of over the years, and even in my family where everyone is talented, he’s
considered one of the very best. If he truly wants to inherit the family business, Lincoln won’t stand a chance.
However, he doesn’t have a sense of belonging toward his family and is rebelling against his parents, so the more
we try to prevent him from doing something, the more insistent he’d be to do it.”
Old Mister Hart looked Vicky in the eyes. “Including marrying you. Everyone, including Tyler’s parents and myself,
was against him marrying you.”
“Are you trying to imply that Tyler married me to piss you off?” Vicky asked.
“After all the pain you’ve caused Tyler, do you really think he’d marry you for love?”
Vicky clenched her fists.
“Ms. Shaw, whatever love he felt for you vanished the moment you poisoned him,” Old Mister Hart added.
Vicky flinched, and it took her a few moments to find her voice once again.
