    Chapter 1410


    As the footsteps approached, Vicky’s heart raced.


    Just as she was about to cave and step outside, the footsteps stopped.


    It seemed like Tyler was only here to look around, so he turned the lights off and left.


    The door closed, and darkness returned to the room.


    Vicky rxed and copsed onto the ground weakly. Not daring to stay too long, she got up


    immediately, knowing Tyler was likely looking for her in other rooms.


    She could tell Tyler was walking toward the stairs and was heading downstairs to look for her.


    She hurriedly stepped out of the study, put the shlight away, and swiftly returned to the bedroom.


    About five minutester, she heard footsteps approaching again. She opened the door after taking a


    second to ready herself.


    d in his pajamas, Tyler stood at the doorway and was about to open the door.


    As he saw her emerging from the bedroom, he hesitated for a moment.


    “Where did you go?” Vicky was the first to speak.


    His towering figure cast a shadow over the corridor light, his handsome features shrouded by the


    dimness. “Where did you go?” Tyler questioned back, his voice hoarse.

    Vicky delivered the exnation she prepared. “I remembered there was a bank card in one of my


    clothing pockets. I’ll need it tomorrow, and I didn’t want to risk forgetting about it, so I went to the


    dressing room to check.”


    Since Tyler went to search his study, it was highly likely he explored her study or other nearby rooms


    as well. Waking up to find her absent, a normal person would first search the house. When Tyler failed


    to find her anywhere, he would wonder if she had gone out, which would lead him to check the


    dressing room.


    Vicky’s words were a gamble on the assumption he had not her exnation, she observed his


    expression gingerly.


    Tyler remained calm and expressionless as he asked, “So did you find it?”


    Vicky nodded. “Yes, I found it.”


    “Alright.” Tyler stared at her intently, his low voice slightly hoarse as he said, “Since you’ve found it, go


    back to sleep.”


    Back in the bedroom, Vicky asked in a hushed tone, “Did I wake you?”


    “No.” Weariness crept onto his face as he rubbed his throbbing forehead. “I had a nightmare and woke


    up because of it.”


    As the words left his lips, warm hands gently pressed against headache Tyler had been experiencing


    eased significantly.


    He closed his eyes, weing the relief.


    Peaceful silence loomed over them when Tyler spoke up. “Is there something else you desire?”


    “Something else?” Vicky’s movements paused for a moment. “No. You’ve already transferred a


    considerable number of shares to me. It doesn’t even have much practical use for me.”


    “Hart Corporation’s shares aren’t something one can easily obtain.”


    “I know.”


    Hart Corporation was highly sought after, and Tyler held the lion’s share of its equity, approximately 90


    percent. The remaining 10 percent was distributed among various shareholders.


    Hart Corporation’s market value continued to soar, so no one was willing to sell their shares. Even Tyler


    struggled to aplish a full acquisition.


    Attempting to buy Hart Corporation out was practically impossible.


    “What do you want, then?” With his eyes closed, Tyler asked in a subdued tone, “All of Hart


    Corporation, perhaps?” Vicky’s movement halted, and Tyler opened his eyes.
