Chapter 898


    Chapter 898


    Old Mister Hart understood their intentions and turned to Valencia and Orion. ’’Orion, Valencia, what do


    you think?’


    Orion sighed. “Young people have their ideas, and as elders, we should respect their choices. How to


    handle this matter can only be determined by the parties involved.”


    Although Orion’s words sounded eloquent, his attitude made it clear that he wanted no part in this and


    that he did not wish to interfere.


    There was nothing wrong with his actions, but the fact that he was not willing to defend his daughter-in-


    law sent chills down everyone’s spine.


    Isabe’s father sneered inwardly. If it had been Lincoln who had suffered instead of Isabe, Orion,


    and Valencia would have hysterically demanded that the culprit be punished instead of remaining out of


    the way to prevent all responsibility.


    Isabe’s father looked at Tyler. “Tyler, it’s not that I, as your great uncle, don’t respect you, but your


    wife has indeed gone too far in today’s matter. We’re all family here, and the old mister is here with us


    now, so I won’t beat around the bush. Let’s consider the contract we discussedst time. You can give


    up an additional five percent, and well let this matter rest. Otherwise…” He gave Vicky a cold nce.”


    There are nationalws and family rules. Our Hart family’s rule is that we cannot harm each other or


    resort to violence


    among kin. Those who vite it…will face family discipline. Since she’s your wife, she’s a member of


    the Hart family and will have to face our family’s discipline.”


    Tyler’s mother added, “Tyler, you experienced the family discipline firsthand before. Not only did you


    have to kneel in the prayer hall for a day and a night, but you also received a caning. Your wife is so


    delicate; she probably won’t be able to endure it… It’ll be horrible if she suffers any long-term damage


    to her body. You can make money again, but one’s health cannot bepromised.”


    Vicky’s heart sank and thought to herself, ‘So the Hart family had such rules? Was that what Tyler


    endured by hurting Lincoln apart from being tortured by Valencia?’


    Before Tyler could speak, Vicky spoke up, “I am willing to ept the punishment.”


    “Vicky.” Tyler’s gaze darkened slightly. “Let me handle this matter.”


    “Each person is responsible for their actions. Even if I am Tyler’s wife, it is up to me to decide whether I


    want to


    ept the punishment or agree to thepensation.” She turned to Old Mister Hart. “Old Mister Hart,


    don’t I have the right to make a choice?”


    Old Mister Hart was ced in a difficult position.


    They were all in Zendonia, and if they forcefully punished Vicky, Tyler cared too much for Vicky to let


    those who were involved go without suffering as well.


    All things aside, the Harts hade to Zendonia to ept


    Tyler back into the family but also because they had encountered difficulties and needed Tyler’s


    connection to resolve them. Hence, enraging Tyler would not do them any good.


    Old Mister Hart cleared his throat. “This is just a quarrel between two youngdies, so I don’t suppose


    this will warrant such harsh punishment. The wound on Isabe’s face isn’t that severe. I will summon a


    few doctors to ensure that her face recovers without a scar.”


    Isabe’s parents paled. “No way-“


    Old Mister Hart waved them off and stopped them from protesting. “Vicky will apologize to Isabe, and


    that’s the end of it.”


    “But…”


    Isabe’s parents wanted to argue, but Old Mister Hart scowled, and histone became stern. “What? Do


    you all feel like you don’t have to listen to me anymore?”


    Though Old Mister Hart had retired, he was still respected and feared by many.

    Isabe’s parents instantly fell into silence, and Old Mister Hart smiled gently to look at Vicky.
