Old Mister Hart stared at Tyler and said, âMs. Shaw, Tylerâs parents will be here in Stoneford City soon,
so be prepared. They arenât as easy-going as I am.â
Vicky scowled at the mention of Tylerâs biological parents. âIf they didnât want me to marry Tyler, why
didnât they stop him back then and come here now instead?â
Old Mister Hart narrowed his eyes. âThey had been occupied trying to cure Lincoln, so they didnât have
time to come here. Now that Lincoln is cured, they finally have time to check on Tyler.â
âCure him?â Vicky asked. âWhatâs wrong with him?â
Before Old Mister Hart could respond, Tyler had already arrived before them.
Tyler ignored Old Mister Hart completely and scanned Vicky up and down sternly, relaxing when he
noticed that she was unharmed.
He then turned to face Old Mister Hart. âOld Mister Hart, is there a reason for you to abduct Vicky and
bring her here?â
He was not rude but was hardly respectful. His tone was distant as though he was not talking to his
grandfather but a complete stranger instead.
Judging from the way he addressed Old Mister Hart, one could tell that he did not see Old Mister Hart
as family.
Old Mister Hart sighed. âTyler, Iâm still your grandfather. What would others think if they heard you
calling me Old Mister Hart?â
âIs there something else you need? If not, Iâm taking Vicky home with me,â Tyler said coldly.
âVicky is your wife. Isnât it normal for your grandfather to meet with his granddaughter-in-law?â
âGranddaughter-in-law, huh?â Vicky thought. âHe sure makes it sound great when heâs been addressing
me âMs. Shawâ the entire time. I hardly think he thinks of me as his granddaughter-in-law.â
Old Mister Hart might seem kind and approachable but was pretentious in nature and was skilled in
getting others to let their guards down.
âTyler, regardless of what happened, Vicky has married you and is a part of our family. Your parents are
furious that you got married without letting them know. I was told that theyâll be here in Stoneford City
latest by tomorrow.â Old Mister Hart sighed. âVicky has been married to you for years, so itâs about time
for you to tell her about your background⦠She wouldnât even know what sheâs dealing with once your
parents arrive.â
Sometimes, words could cut as sharply as knives, just like the ones Old Mister Hart was saying.
It seemed reasonable to assume that Tyler did not truly take Vicky as his wife, or he would not have
kept the truth of his birth from her.
Vicky could tell that Old Mister Hart was trying to divide her and Tyler but felt depressed regardless as
he was merely telling the truth.
Tylerâs expression darkened. âTomorrow?â
âYes. I heard that they are bringing Aria Everly here with them as well.â Old Mister Hart shot Vicky a
pointed look. âAria was once your fiance, after allâ¦â
Before he could finish, Tyler interrupted him and said, âThe engagement was arranged by the Harts,
not me. Iâve never agreed to it.â
âWithout Aria and her family, you wouldâve died from poison five years ago. Do you have any idea how
precious the antidote they provided you was? It canât even be bought with money. The Everlys saved
your life,â Old Mister Hart said sternly.
