Chapter 863


    “Even if you were frustrated, you should’ve never done that to Tyler… He’s still our son, after all. What


    kind of mother are you to electrocute your very son?”


    “He was under the spell cast by that vixen, Vicky! I wanted to help him! If I truly wanted him dead, I


    could’ve just had to do so. Why would I bother doing all those things that would only make me look like


    the bad guy here?”


    Orion shot her a conflicted look and sighed heavily. “Valencia, just because you never said anything,


    doesn’t mean Father doesn’t know. He simply chose to turn a blind eye to what you did because you


    didn’t end up killing Tyler.”


    Valencia looked away. “I… I didn’t do anything that bad to Tyler…”


    “You locked him up in a cage with no food for days, shone bright lights on him to keep him from


    sleeping, and tortured him with all sorts of devices that wouldn’t leave marks… Do you take Tyler for a


    fool who doesn’t know resentment? He just doesn’t talk about it.”


    “H—How do you know about all that?” Valencia blurted out before covering her mouth.


    Orion was on a business trip at the time and did not have any involvement in her actions. When he


    returned home to find his wife causing a mess, he took all the me to prevent Old Mister Hart from


    punishing Valencia.


    He shook his head. “Valencia, nothing can remain hidden forever. Father knew about all the things you


    did to Tyler.”


    Valencia bowed her head. “… I only meant to teach Tyler a lesson and didn’t want to hurt him, but he


    hasn’t shown us any respect from the start, and I was already frustrated about that. After what he did to


    Lincoln…I only wanted him to apologize, but…” Tears welled in her eyes. “He didn’t think he did


    something wrong. Forget apologizing. He didn’t even beg for mercy. I know how hot-tempered I can


    get, so I…”


    After being married to her for so many years, Orion knew Valencia like the back of his hand and asked,


    “And then? Did he apologize?”


    Valencia’s lips trembled, and she stammered, “That child has a stubborn bone. Throughout it all, he


    never thought he did anything wrong… He never apologized.”


    Orion’s brow furrowed once again. “So, in Tyler’s heart at that time, that woman he was with was more


    important than his biological parents?”


    ‘If that is truly the case, then that woman…was undoubtedly a cmity!’ Orion remarked inwardly.


    Vicky was awakened by a ssh of cold water on her.


    Tyler’s parents had indeed insulted her, but they had let her go in the end. However, her captors had


    taken her phone, and since the ce was secluded, Vicky had only walked a short distance before


    someone knocked her unconscious and carried her away.


    After opening her eyes, Vicky realized she was locked in a cage. The surroundings were dark and cold


    with only a dim, yellowish light bulb providing a faint glow.


    Vicky turned her head and saw a figure standing outside the cage. Her pupils contracted sharply as


    she muttered, “It’s you…”

    It was the servant who pped her.


    Vicky came to realize what was happening. “Mister and Missus Hart deliberately let me go, creating the


    illusion that I had already left to deceive Tyler, is that right?”


    The servant stood outside the cage, smiling faintly. “You’ve gotten smarterpared to five years ago,


    haven’t you, Ms. Shaw?”


    “Five years ago? You saw me five years ago?”


    “Yes, back then, you were very young; just a naive and innocent girl. So easily fooled. There was no


    need for tricks or mind games, and you wisely chose to leave Tyler on your own.”
