Chapter 844


    A contemptuous look appeared on Old Mister Hart. “That Hart Family wasn’t doing so badly in


    Stoneford City but was hardly significant when you look at the entire country. They weren’t even


    comparable to the power Tyler possesses in the present, let alone beingpared to our family. If they


    send their son into our family and their son manages to inherit a part of the wealth…”

    He paused and continued, “Even if it was just a one percent share, that’ll give them more than they had


    ever owned. Who wouldn’t want that?”


    What Old Mister Hart said seemed to make sense, but Vicky remained skeptical. “That’s just your


    theory. What if the nurses actually made a careless mistake?”


    Old Mister Hart took a sip of tea. “First of all, the doctors and nurses involved in the incident had all


    gone missing or died. We couldn’t find a single witness. Don’t you think that’s odd? Also, I’ve already


    found the truth about the car ident Tyler’s adoptive parents ran into.”


    Vicky’s heart sank. “I thought they ran into a car ident on their way to sign a business contract?”


    “The contract part is true, but…” Old Mister Hart narrowed his eyes sharply. “They weren’t on the way


    to a business partner but to their biological son.”


    Vicky jolted in shock. “Are you saying that…”


    “The Harts faced bankruptcy at the time. They had spun their web for long enough, and it was time for


    them to harvest the results. That was the perfect timing for them to reach out to their actual son, don’t


    you think?”


    “What about the car ident? Was that not an ident?”


    Old Mister Hart smiled. “There aren’t that many coincidences and idents in the world. Most of them


    are just staged.”


    At the time, she had broken up with Tyler, which meant that Tyler’s adoptive parents knew all along that


    Tyler was not their son.


    A horrifying thought emerged in her mind. “So, they were…”


    “Lincoln has always been a sweet child. Valencia and Orion love him dearly, and Valencia especially


    cares for her son.” Old Mister Hart poured himself another cup of tea. “When Lincoln was still a child,


    Orion ran into an ident and fell unconscious for face years. Valencia was left alone with her son and


    was bullied by the other members of the family. To survive, she even sold thepany share Orion


    owned to others. Had she not done so, she and her son would’ve been swallowed whole by their


    rtives.”


    The Shaws were hardlyparable to the Harts in terms of power, but as an orphan, Vicky knew just


    howplicated things could be in a wealthy family. The bigger the family, the more conflicts would


    arise.


    She stared at Old Mister Hart. “What about you? Did you not protect them?”


    “I could protect them for a day or a year. Maybe I could protect them from harm until the day I die, but


    what about after I retire or die? You should know that the scheming and plotting wouldn’t stop as long


    as they possessed thepany’s share. They’d still be isted and bullied at ces where I can’t see.


    They’d only be safe once they lost everything that others wanted.”


    Old Mister Hart looked at Vicky intently. “It’s the same thing with who you date or marry. Once you get


    with someone beyond your league, others would do their best to attack and undermine you. Valencia


    didn’t have the ability to utilize the share she had, so she could only give it up to protect her son and


    husband. Ms. Shaw, you…were in a simr situation.”
