Chapter 1070
One must admit that Old Mister Hart was truly cunning.
His choice of words was almost flawless, but Tyler was not falling for it.
Tyler tightened his grip around Vickyâs waist, pulling her closer to him.
âVicky wonât feel comfortable staying here. Thereâs no need for you to trouble yourself.â
No one could ever take the woman he wanted away from him, and whether the woman in question was
willing to be with him was not within his consideration. Nothing else mattered to Tyler.
Tylerâs stubbornness troubled Old Mister Hart and he could not understand why Tyler was so obsessed
with Vicky.
Over the years, countless women had appeared by Tylerâs side.
Amongst them, there were many who were more beautiful and brilliant than Vicky, yet Tyler never
showed any hint of interest in any of them.
âTyler, you know that I wonât be able to stop you if you want to take Vicky with you by force, but why
donât you take a second to look at the state Vickyâs in? Sheâs not doing too well. Sheâs only going to
resent you more if you do this. Letâs make a compromise⦠For now, Vicky will stay here with us.
I know you wonât feel at ease leaving her alone here, so you can also stay here too. How does that
sound?â
Tyler narrowed his eyes.
He knew well that forcefully taking Vicky back would only worsen their relationship. Considering Vickyâs
personality, she might even resort to starving herself, just like she did in the past.
At this point, he had to admit that using his old methods to threaten her would probably fail again.
Old Mister Hart carefully observed Tylerâs expression. When he spotted the way Tylerâs gaze flickered,
he knew Tyler was wavering.
A soft sigh escaped Old Mister Hartâs lips. He knew that Tyler still cared about Vickyâs feelings when he
saw Tyler hesitating.
No matter how Tyler defined his feelings for Vicky, he still cared. That obsession he held toward Vicky
alone was enough to destroy him.
After a moment of contemplation, Tyler agreed, âFine.â
Old Mister Hart was not surprised and shot a pointed look at Vicky. âI have several vacant rooms in my
mansion. You can stay there.â
Vicky understood the meaning conveyed in Old Mister Hartâs gaze and fell silent.
Old Mister Hart was reminding her not to push Tyler too far. If Tyler truly went mad, even though his
own grandfather would not be able to stop him.
Seeing that the two had no objections, Old Mister Hart rose from his chair with the support of his cane
and said, âLetâs go.
Vicky instinctively wanted to escape Tylerâs embrace, but he only responded by tightening his arms
around her.
As they stepped out to the yard, Vicky sensed something and turned her head to find Lincoln looking at
her quietly by the door.
When their eyes met, Lincoln nodded at her, and Tyler instantly caught onto it.
âVicky Shaw!â He grunted ruthlessly. âHow dare you flirt and exchange secret looks with Lincoln while
Iâm standing right here?â
Vicky remained extremely calm. âPeople who are crazy see madness in everything.â
âAre you calling me crazy?â
Vicky looked up to meet his glare and smiled. âYouâre not crazy. Youâre a psychopath.â
