Chapter 822


    Before Noah could finish speaking, he heard a weird noiseing from the other side of the phone,


    and his call was cut off.


    He tried calling Vicky again, only to be greeted by the sound of the automated voice message telling


    him that her phone had been turned off.


    Noah was gobsmacked. “Oh, sh*t! I never thought Tyler would move so fast. He’s crazy, absolutely


    crazy!”


    He anxiously paced around the same spot over and over again with the phone in his hand.


    Noah had ways of getting thetest news about Tyler, so had been keeping a close watch on him all


    this while. He heard that after Tyler was taken away, he was first locked up in a dark room for a week


    as punishment.


    However, Tyler remained stubbornly obsessed after he was released from the room. Later, he was


    diagnosed as being mentally ill, so they administered electric shocks to his brain.


    When Noah found out about this from his father James Canyer, he found the whole thing unbelievable


    instead of feeling happy.


    “While it’s true that Tyler isn’t right in the head, he’s still the eldest son of the direct descending line of


    the Hart family after all. Aren’t they afraid that the electric shocks will fry his brain, or worse, kill him?”


    James was known to have a fiery temple. He had been a soldier when he was young, and he firmly


    believed in the saying ‘spare the rod, spoil the child’.


    He would not hesitate to discipline Noah if he was unruly. His anger made it hard for him to go easy on


    Noah, but deep down, he always saw him as his son. As a father himself, he understood where theThis content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    Hart family wasing from, but he would never use an extreme method like electric shock therapy to


    discipline his children.


    James shook his head out of pity. “Senior Hart was the one who ordered him to be locked up in the


    dark room, thinking Tyler would give in by doing that. However, after Tyler was released, instead of


    showing any sign of repentance, he became even more extreme. In the end, the elderly Senior Hart


    became so angry, he nearly had a heart attack and had to be hospitalized.


    “Tyler’s parents had always preferred their adopted son over him, and now that Senior Hart is in the


    hospital because of him… Well, I’m not surprised they’d want to make him suffer as much as possible.


    He might be their biological son, but he hasn’t been back home for so long that their rtionship with


    each other is practically non-existent.


    “Tyler and his adopted brother have starkly different personalities. His adopted brother is obedient and


    filial, whereas Tyler is rebellious and stubborn. They probably wish they could wash their hands off him.


    In fact…”


    Here, James scoffed. “I won’t be surprised if they use this opportunity to get rid of Tyler once and for


    all.”


    Noah was shocked. “No matter how much they hate him, he’s still their son! How can any parents bear


    to get rid of their own flesh and blood? Why, that makes them worse than animals!”


    “I heard Tyler’s adopted brother ordered someone to rough up his girlfriend, Vicky…” James looked at


    Noah. “The very same Vicky who is your junior at school, and who also happened to be the one who


    called the cops on me when she saw me beating you up.”


    Noah was a little embarrassed. He cleared his throat and said, “She didn’t know you were my father.”


    “It was a good thing she called the cops because I might’ve beaten you to death then,” said James,


    knowing that his anger always got the better of him.


    However, he knew he would no doubt regret doing that once he had cooled down, and that was why he


    had nothing but gratitude toward Vicky.


    After that incident, he realized he needed to change and had been trying to control his temper ever


    since then.


    As for Noah, he did not truly take the whole incident to heart because having grown up being naughty,


    he had slowly be immune to his father’s beating.


    “What the hell is wrong with Tyler’s parents? Why are they being so cruel toward him?” asked Noah.


    “Putting Senior Hart into the hospital was only the tip of the iceberg. The tipping point came when Tyler


    crippled his adopted brother right in front of their parents once he found out his adopted brother had


    ordered someone to rough up Vicky,” replied James.


    “Crippled his adopted brother? In what way?” Noah asked hesitantly.


    James nced at him and said, “Let’s just say his adopted brother will never get to enjoy his manhood


    again.”
