Valencia, who was sitting in the living room sipping her tea, looked up and frowned at Tyler’s impoliteness. Just as
she was about to speak, Orion—who was beside Valencia—gently shook his head at her. Suppressing her
dissatisfaction, Valencia forced a smile.
“Tyler, why have you come?” she asked.
Over the years, Tyler’s visits to them had been few and far between. Valencia had always held resentment toward
Tyler, but because Lincoln was still recovering from his illness, she had to temporarily cast her frustration aside.
Since Lincoln’s health had improved, the addition of their biological son meant that they had gained an additional
competitive edge in the competition for the Hart family’s inheritance.
Tyler glanced around the living room and said coldly, “Where is Vicky?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtValencia’s smile froze for a moment, but she replied in a gentle tone, “I happened to run into Vicky at the
exhibition, so I invited her here for a chat. Vicky left just a while ago. Didn’t she tell you?”
Since Vicky was caught removing her bracelet the night before, she did not bother hiding it anymore and left the
bracelet at home.
Before receiving Harry’s phone call, Tyler had assumed Vicky was resting at home. Unexpectedly, she was taken
away by his biological mother.
“Her phone is turned off.” Tyler’s chilling gaze fell upon Valencia. “Hand Vicky over.”
Valencia could no longer contain the expression on her face. “Tyler, I am your mother. It’s one thing not to address
me upon entering, but do you really have to speak to your mother with this tone? Is this how you treat your
parents?”
Tyler’s voice was cold as ice. “Just release Vicky. I don’t want to embarrass you.”
Valencia turned pale with anger and almost fainted. “Tyler, despite all the wrongs she has done, why did you still
marry her and bring her home? That woman is full of lies. If it wasn’t for her, you and Lincoln wouldn’t be in a fight.
She’s the root cause of the discord between you and your brother!”
Valencia’s words were abruptly interrupted by Tyler’s indifferent tone. “Where is Vicky?”
“Tyler, you…”
Orion held Valencia’s hand, preventing her from speaking, and said to Tyler, “We’ve only recently learned about
your marriage to Vicky. We only came to Zendonia to see her. She left half an hour ago.” After a moment’s pause,
Orion continued, “There are surveillance cameras at the entrance. If you don’t believe it, you can review the
footage.”
Tyler replied calmly, “In that case, retrieve the surveillance footage.”
Orion instructed a servant to retrieve the footage.

10 minutes later, the servant brought over all the surveillance footage.
Orion was not worried that Tyler would find out that Vicky was brought here against her will and started playing the
footage from the moment Vicky was brought into the mansion.
However, since the pavilion was considered a private corner for Orion and Valencia, there were no surveillance
cameras around the area.
10 minutes later, Vicky’s fumbling figure appeared on screen again. Her hair draped over her face and her
expression was unknown, but Tyler could instantly recognize that it was Vicky.
She stepped out of the mansion and out of the range of the surveillance cameras.
After that, Orion said, “Well? We haven’t lied to you, have we?”
Tyler’s expression darkened and said to Orion and Valencia, “Since Vicky isn’t here, you two shouldn’t mind if I get
my men to search the mansion, right?”
Valencia and Orion both paled
