Chapter 1333
Vicky sighed in relief.
As soon as Tyler stepped forward, the onlookers instinctively made way for him. Though many people
were present, they all remained silent, afraid of attracting the attention of this demon before them.
At this moment, peopleâs gazes toward Tyler were filled with both fear and loathing.
There were numerous rumors about him, and most of them were far from favorable. For instance, he
was known to be rebellious, ruthless, and disregarded family bonds when it came to taking action.
Today, he openly aimed a gun at his uncle in front of everyone, so no one knew if he was capable of
parricide if something else provoked him.
No one dared to stop Tyler and Vicky from leaving; even Valencia and Orion dared not utter a single
word in Tylerâs presence.
Only when the coupleâs figures disappeared did the crowd finally heave a collective sigh of relief.
âFather!â Mike gripped his injured arm and roared furiously,â Tyler wanted to kill me! We canât keep
such a filicidal maniac in the Hart family!â
Old Mister Hart felt like he had aged 10 years in a single moment. He waved his hand in dismissal.
âYou should go to the hospital first for treatment.â
âFather, Tyler has no regard for anyone. The Hart family canât tolerate someone like him! it yourself-he
tried to kill me! Are you really going to take Tylerâs side on this matter?â
Old Mister Hart glanced at him. âIf you hadnât shot at Vicky, he wouldnât have wanted to kill you. If it
werenât for Tyler pushing her away in time, sheâd be dead by now.â
Mike was unwilling to give up. âBraxton almost got beaten to death because of that menace. Are you
saying that her life is worth more than Braxtonâs? Father, you need to settle this fairly, or Iââ
Old Mister Hart became irritated. âWhat do you want, then? To go kill Tyler or sever ties with the Hart
family?â
A sinister expression crossed Mikeâs face. âAt least I wonât just sit on my thumbs.â
Old Mister Hart sneered. âHave you been used to getting your way in recent years and become so
inflated that youâve lost your bearings? Look at where youâre standing now. Remember whose territory
we are in! Do you think Tyler spared you today because heâs afraid of you? Itâs just that he cares for
Vicky and doesnât want to hurt her! Even if he had killed you today, heâd be able to get away with it. You
wouldâve died a pointless death!
âWhen you are in someone elseâs territory, you should abide by their rules. Tyler cares most about
Vicky, yet you insisted on hurting her in his territory. Isnât it only natural that you got injured?â
Old Mister Hart glared at Mike disappointedly. âHe could simply sever ties with the Harts if he did end
up killing you, but you wouldâve lost your life for nothing. Andâ¦â He snorted. âWhat you should be
worried about is not how to kill Tyler but how to preserve your life. After getting your wound treated at
the hospital, you should hurry back to Molivia, or you might die. Donât blame me for not warning you.â
Old Mister Hart did not want to deal with these vexing matters any longer and left swiftly.
The night was cool, and Tylerâs car sped all the way back home. Throughout the journey, his
expression remained dark and tense.
Vicky hesitated to speak several times. However, upon seeing his increasingly rapid steps on the
accelerator, she fell silent.
She stopped Tyler not because she pitied Mike but because she did not want Tyler to murder someone
in front of so many people. Though Tyler felt nothing toward the Harts, they were still his family. She did
not want him to murder his relative for her sake.
Upon arriving home, Tyler took Vickyâs hand and took her upstairs wordlessly. He located the first aid
kit and started applying ointment to her bruised wrist. His expression was dark, but his motions were
gentle.
Soon, the burning pain on her wrist was replaced by a cool sensation.
