Chapter 880
"Why?" Vicky asked.
"That's because when he first returned to the Hart family, not a single one of them welcomed him back. In fact, he
was ostracized by everyone there. After all, he didn't grow up in the family. Besides, who'd welcome a person who
suddenly appeared to fight for the family's inheritance?"
Vicky already knew Tyler's biological parents were not kind to Tyler, but she could not help asking, "What about his
parents? No matter what, he's their biological son, so they must've welcomed him."
Aria scoffed. "Thanks to you, Tyler's relationship with his parents is very strained. In the beginning, his parents had
someone in mind for him to marry once he was back. This was their way of showing him they cared about him.
"However, for people like you and him who think love triumphs over all, you guys think that it's ridiculous to be in an
arranged marriage in this day and age. In a family like mine, it's something quite common. The family's survival

"At that time, Tyler had just returned to the Hart family. The fastest way for him to gain a firm foothold is to form an
alliance with another family through marriage. But he was dating you then, and he refused to break up with you. In
fact, he even said that he could do without the Hart family, but
not without you.
"His parents were enraged. They felt that Tyler didn't understand that with his status at that time, he'd be as good
as dead if he didn't return to the Hart family as the rest of the family would never allow someone like him to exist.
"Thus, to make him understand the importance of power, his parents decided to make his company go under. They
were confident that Tyler would have no choice but to grovel himself before them after he was left with nothing."
Vicky was shocked to hear all that. "Are you saying that the period where he was dealing with one problem after
another in his company was because of his parents?"
"Yes," said Aria. To destroy a company that Tyler built with his sweat and tears over the years was nothing but
child's play to the Hart family, who have all the power and
resources in the world. However, to let him experience what true despair tastes like, his parents deliberately gave
him some hope that his company would survive the attacks before dealing him the fatal blow."
Here, Aria paused for a while and looked straight at Vicky with eyes filled with contempt.
"Fortunately for his parents, it was at that time you told him you wanted a divorce. Not many would've survived the
loss of a company and marriage at the same time. However, to everyone's surprise..."
Aria shook her head and sighed lightly. "He'd rather give up the whole world than give up on you."
Vicky felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She never knew these things.
Aria smirked and said, "His parents had many tricks up their sleeves which are more than enough to deal with a
poor, powerless girl like you. I've seen you from afar in some of the banquets you've attended with his mother. My,
my, how those who only know how to suck up to those more powerful than them bullied you.
"Of course, you were one tenacious woman, I'll give you that. You didn't back down and kept persisting in the face

her tactic ...and in the end, you did break up with Tyler."
By then, Vicky's breathing had become labored, and she sweated profusely.
"Do you know...what tactic she used?" she asked.
"For those who like money, you can give them money. For those who aren't confident, you only need to bring down
their self-esteem. And for those who passed every test... Well, let's just say their love must be real," Aria answered."
Your weakness was Tyler, and his parents only needed to manipulate him for you to do what they wanted.
"Although the two of you were indeed forced to break up, the hurt you caused him during the process was very real
to him. Moreover, poisoning him was the most unforgivable sin you made against him..."
Aria's voice gradually became blurrier as if it was coming from another world, until the words became completely
meaningless to Vicky. While this was all happening, she suddenly got a splitting headache before finally passing out.
Aria, who was still talking, was startled by Vicky's sudden fainting. At first, she thought that Vicky pretended to pass
out so that she could frame her. However, she turned to look back at the door and did not see Tyler.
She nudged Vicky's body just to make sure and realized that Vicky genuinely had fainted. It was then she, in a panic,
went to look for Tyler.
