Chapter 861


    Valencia, who was sitting in the living room sipping her tea, looked up and frowned at Tyler’s


    impoliteness. Just as she was about to speak, Orion—who was beside Valencia—gently shook his


    head at her. Suppressing her dissatisfaction, Valencia forced a smile.


    “Tyler, why have youe?” she asked.


    Over the years, Tyler’s visits to them had been few and far between. Valencia had always held


    resentment toward Tyler, but because Lincoln was still recovering from his illness, she had to


    temporarily cast her frustration aside.


    Since Lincoln’s health had improved, the addition of their biological son meant that they had gained an


    additionalpetitive edge in thepetition for the Hart family’s inheritance.


    Tyler nced around the living room and said coldly, “Where is Vicky?”


    Valencia’s smile froze for a moment, but she replied in a gentle tone, “I happened to run into Vicky at


    the exhibition, so I invited her here for a chat. Vicky left just a while ago. Didn’t she tell you?”

    Since Vicky was caught removing her bracelet the night before, she did not bother hiding it anymore


    and left the bracelet at home.


    Before receiving Harry’s phone call, Tyler had assumed Vicky was resting at home. Unexpectedly, she


    was taken away by his biological mother.


    “Her phone is turned off.” Tyler’s chilling gaze fell upon Valencia. “Hand Vicky over.”


    Valencia could no longer contain the expression on her face. “Tyler, I am your mother. It’s one thing not


    to address me upon entering, but do you really have to speak to your mother with this tone? Is this how


    you treat your parents?”


    Tyler’s voice was cold as ice. “Just release Vicky. I don’t want to embarrass you.”


    Valencia turned pale with anger and almost fainted. “Tyler, despite all the wrongs she has done, why


    did you still marry her and bring her home? That woman is full of lies. If it wasn’t for her, you and


    Lincoln wouldn’t be in a fight. She’s the root cause of the discord between you and your brother!”


    Valencia’s words were abruptly interrupted by Tyler’s indifferent tone. “Where is Vicky?”


    “Tyler, you…”


    Orion held Valencia’s hand, preventing her from speaking, and said to Tyler, “We’ve only recently


    learned about your marriage to Vicky. We only came to Zendonia to see her. She left half an hour ago.”


    After a moment’s pause, Orion continued, “There are surveince cameras at the entrance. If you don’t


    believe it, you can review the footage.”


    Tyler replied calmly, “In that case, retrieve the surveince footage.”


    Orion instructed a servant to retrieve the footage.


    10 minutester, the servant brought over all the surveince footage.


    Orion was not worried that Tyler would find out that Vicky was brought here against her will and started


    ying the footage from the moment Vicky was brought into the mansion.


    However, since the pavilion was considered a private corner for Orion and Valencia, there were no


    surveince cameras around the area.


    10 minutester, Vicky’s fumbling figure appeared on screen again. Her hair draped over her face and


    her expression was unknown, but Tyler could instantly recognize that it was Vicky.


    She stepped out of the mansion and out of the range of the surveince cameras.


    After that, Orion said, “Well? We haven’t lied to you, have we?”


    Tyler’s expression darkened and said to Orion and Valencia, “Since Vicky isn’t here, you two shouldn’t


    mind if I get my men to search the mansion, right?”


    Valencia and Orion both paled.
