Vicky narrowed her eyes.
Tyler clearly said there was a work-related matter to take the blame for.
Although it was indeed because of him that they were late, Vicky was touched that he came forward to defend her
in front of the entire Hart family.
Old Mister Hart glanced at Vicky and smiled faintly. "It's just a family dinner. No big deal. Work is still the priority." He
waved at the two of them. "Take your seats quickly."
Gatherings at the Hart Family were different from ordinary parties.
Ordinary parties were held like buffets, while family gatherings were when all family members gathered at the
same table to dine together.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOld Mister Hart, with the most seniority and highest status, sat in the central seat.
On his left and right sides, in descending order, the seating arrangement followed the hierarchy of seniority.
At this moment, everyone at the banquet had taken their seats, leaving only two empty seats next to Orion and
Valencia.
Tyler and Vicky walked over together.
Orion and Valencia had a strong dislike for Vicky, but in front of everyone else, they were careful not to make a fool
of themselves by uttering snide remarks at her.
Valencia smiled warmly. "Tyler, Vicky, here you here. Come take your seats."
Vicky had already experienced Valencia's hypocrisy many years ago; she was deceived by the beautiful picture
Valencia painted and manipulated into enduring hardship because of it.
Later on, Vicky gradually understood that Valencia would never acknowledge her.
After Tyler and Vicky took their seats, Old Mister Hart signaled the start of the meal.
Vicky observed the surroundings briefly and noticed that there were not too many people present today.
Isabella and her family sat across Vicky, and next to them sat a mid-aged couple and a strange young man that
Vicky did not know.
There were unfamiliar faces all around her, while Lincoln and the rest of the Hart family were nowhere to be seen.
Vicky did not find it strange as the Hart family's main residence was in Molivia, so it was normal for most of the
members to not come to Zendonia.
The servants brought out plates of food and placed them on each table.
This family banquet was inclusive, with each table having different dishes, encompassing different cuisines and
Vicky concluded that the food must have been prepared according to everyone's preferences and tastes, reported
in advance.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, upon seeing the dishes in front of her, Vicky froze.
All the food before her was seafood.
Vicky was allergic to seafood and never touched them.
Tyler scowled.
There were a lot of servants in the Hart Family, and with several servants assigned to each section, the dishes were
served efficiently.
Once all the dishes were served, Old Mister Hart said, "Since this is a family gathering, there's no need for formality.
I'm sure you are all starving. Let's dig in."
Everyone was about to start dining when a loud 'bang' was heard in the quiet hall.
The others turned to the source of the sound and saw Tyler slamming his glass hard onto the table with a cold
expression.
Everyone gaped at him, and Old Mister Hart asked, "What's wrong, Tyler? Do you not like the food?"
"Vicky is allergic to seafood, yet you prepared nothing but seafood. What is the meaning of this?" Tyler asked.
