Chapter 1456
"Ms. Shaw, I hope you won't meet Tyler again. Right now, you're the cause of his condition. Seeing you triggers
negative memories and leads to his loss of control.
Currently, what we need to do most is to stabilize Tyler's emotions and isolate the triggers that cause him to lose
control."
Old Mister Hart's expression remained calm, his words clear. There was no hint of displeasure or blame as he
spoke, yet each word he said struck Vicky like lightning.
In his composed way, Old Mister Hart was telling her she was responsible for Tyler's state.
A prolonged silence followed before Vicky said, "Old Mister Hart, can you assure me that once Tyler returns to the
Hart family, he won't be subjected to scheming and torment from Missus Hart?"

that."
"Back when he first returned to the Hart family, you knew what Missus Hart did to him, yet you chose to ignore it."
Vicky gazed into Old Mister Hart's eyes sharply. "Now, you've come here to take him back to the Hart family, not out
of concern for family ties but because he possesses something you and the Hart family need, isn't that right? If
Tyler remained insignificant, I assume you wouldn't have paid him any attention, would you?"
Her attitude was hardly respectful and carried a confronting tone.
Old Mister Hart's assistant noticed Vicky's tone and furrowed his brow. He instinctively moved forward to intervene,
but Old Mister Hart waved him off before focusing on Vicky once again.
His smile remained as benevolent as ever, void of any resentment or annoyance.
"Ms. Shaw, you're still young and perhaps unaware that feelings aren't the most reliable thing in this world. What is
reliable, however, is one's inherent value and the benefits they create. The Hart family is vast, and its legacy is
grand. Tyler returned to the family much later, so he lacks a sense of belonging to the family and is unwilling to
bond with us. Indeed, as far as feelings go, I don't feel much more for him than I would a total stranger," he
admitted honestly. "I won't stand by and watch him perish, but I won't interfere with my offspring's choices either.
After all, Orion is also my son. Tyler has grown to the extent that he can't be taken lightly; his abilities have been
proven fit for the role as heir."
Old Mister Hart smiled at Vicky. "You can consider me heartless, but the reality is that I need Tyler. It's time to focus
on grooming him for that role, and I won't let Valencia or Orion get in the way. Is that enough assurance for you,
Ms. Shaw?"
Vicky remained silent. Had Old Mister Hart tried to persuade her by mentioning the family bond, she would not have
believed it. If the Hart family truly cared about family ties,
Tyler would not have suffered so much.

Personal interests and values had always been the priorities of the Hart family.
Vicky nodded and stood. "I will go see him."
Knowing that this might be the last time she saw Tyler, she paused on her track and added, "I know you only helped
Avery because you wanted to take Tyler back to Molivia, not because you actually want Avery to marry Tyler.
Instead of trusting Avery, I'd rather put my faith in you, Old Mister Hart... I hope you can keep your promise."
Not lingering to wait for an answer, she headed upstairs.
Old Mister Hart was momentarily stunned.
His assistant blurted, asking, "Old Mister, what did she mean?"
"It seems she knows I've been helping Avery." Old Mister Hart smiled. "She just doesn't have any other choice at the
moment because she knows Tyler will suffer more if she insists on staying with him..." He shook his head. "It's a
shame Vicky comes from such a small family and can't be of help to our family. If she comes from a family as
powerful as Avery's, I would've supported her marriage with Tyler."
