Chapter 845


    Vicky fell quiet for a while before blurting out, “Was that the excuse you used to make me break up with


    Tyler?”


    Old Mister Hart was taken by surprise at first but soon started chucking. “Made you? I guess you’ve


    truly lost your memories, Ms. Shaw. No one made you. You chose this path on your own.”


    “I don’t believe you.”


    “That’s the truth. You were the one who came to me, begging for help.” Old Mister Hart smiled. “This is


    a big family, and Tyler isn’t exactly a necessary addition. When I said that I wanted to bring him back


    into the family, over half of the family members protested, including…” He sighed. “Including Tyler’s


    biological parents. Regardless, I don’t think the blood of the Harts should stray out there, so I took Tyler


    back despite all the voices telling me against it.”


    Old Mister Hart was one of the most influential people in the world when he was young but was old and


    gued by conservative beliefs and thoughts, so he valued blood above all.


    “I’ve allowed Tyler to do anything he wanted and get wherever he wanted. Do you think you could


    marry Tyler otherwise?”


    Vicky had not remembered everything about the past, so she did not believe in every word Old Mister


    Hart said. After all, the truly cunning ones would hide their lies in the truth, making it difficult to detect.


    Vicky nced at the chessboard on the table.


    Old Mister Hart seemed approachable but was ruthless when it came to chess.


    She knew she could not possibly rival such a man, so she changed the subject. “You still haven’t talked


    about the car ident.”


    Old Mister Hart nodded. “Five years after Valencia gave up her share, Orion woke up. When he found


    out that his wife had remained by his side throughout the time when he was unconscious and raised


    their son to be obedient and kind, he felt like he owed his family a great deal. Valencia and Lincoln


    relied on one another for years, so Lincoln was even more important to Valencia than her own life. She


    doesn’t need him to be sessful and only wants him to have a peaceful life. Lincoln had been


    behaving as though he had no ambition and didn’t catch the eyes of other members of the family for


    years. Even I was fooled.”

    Vicky frowned. “So…he was just pretending to be meek and unambitious?”


    “Yes.” Old Mister Hart sighed. “By the time I realized what happened, he had already recovered the


    share Valencia sold and even obtained the support of a few family members under my nose.”


    Vicky’s heart sank. “That means that you want Tyler to return to the family because you need him there


    to keep Lincoln in ce, right?”


    The talk about blood and lineage had all been nothing but excuses. After a few thoughtful moments,


    she said, “So the car ident Tyler’s adoptive parents ran into back then was either the work of


    Lincoln or Tyler’s biological parents. Is that right?”


    Old Mister Hart shot her an impressed look. “You’ve grown smarter, Ms. Shaw.”


    “Old Mister Hart, who exactly is the culprit?”
