Chapter 1451
Vicky fell into silence. She was not surprised at all as Lincoln had been trying to outwit Tyler for quite
some time.
âThen thereâs that Averyâ¦â Old Mister Hart sighed lightly.â Averyâs grandfather and I were childhood
friends. Iâve watched her grow up, just like I have with Lincoln.
âSheâs the only daughter of the Yeager family, so itâs natural for her to be spoiled. From a young age,
she has gotten everything she wanted. Overtime, this became an ingrained trait. Sheâs intelligent and
sharp, but sheâs too arrogant. Sheâll resort to anything to achieve her goals. Honestly, when she got
engaged to Lincoln, I had my reservations. Lincoln is ambitious and skilled, but trying to control Avery
is challenging. After all, the Yeager family is vast and influential. If it ever came to a fight, even Lincoln
wouldnât be able to wrest any benefits from her, let alone you.â
Finally grasping his implications, Vicky realized Old Mister Hart was subtly hinting she would not stand
a chance against Avery or the Yeagers.
âThatâs why girls like Avery arenât quite suitable as brides for the Harts. At least while Iâm alive, I donât
want any of the Hart descendants marrying her-â
âIf you have something to say, Old Mister Hart, please go ahead and say it,â interrupted Vicky.
Old Mister Hartâs tone remained gentle. âVicky, the situation in the Hart family is far more complex than
you imagine. Iâm sure youâve noticed that by now. Valencia and Lincoln aside, countless enemies lurk in
the shadows; those who despise Tyler are trying their best to undermine him. Some of them even plot
to kill him.
âNow, Avery, having discovered Tylerâs weakness, is joining forces with Valencia to deliver a fatal blow.
Though they seem to be targeting Tyler, itâs you that theyâre targeting. Since they couldnât exploit Tyler
as they wish, theyâre attacking you instead. Theyâve been successful in driving Tyler to his current
state. If a little more time passes and Tylerâs mind collapses entirely, their plan will come to fruition.â
Hearing Old Mister Hartâs words, Vicky understood the intention behind his call.
âDo you want me to leave him?â
âRight now, Tyler is under hypnosis, and he despises you. Leaving him would be beneficial for him.â
Vicky clenched her phone. âI already abandoned him before. This time, Iâve promised him I wonât give
up on him, no matter what happens.â
âEven if he remains with you and loses his sanity? Even if he dies?â
âI know youâve endured Tylerâs torment and actively sought treatment, but itâs been a while now. Have
you found a solution?â
Vicky could not bring herself to argue.
âTo be honest, I havenât contacted you until now because I wanted to see if you could truly cure Tyler. If
you have a real solution and Tyler canât be without you, I wouldâve considered helping you out. I wanted
to give you more time, but Tyler canât wait any longer. I canât just watch my grandson as heâs being
destroyed. Thatâs why I decided to call you, Ms. Shaw.â
Vickyâs voice gave away no emotions. âAre you implying youâre willing to help him recover if I leave
him, Old Mister Hart?â
âLetâs say I cure my grandson and allow the two of you to continue being together, but what then? The
others will still use you against Tyler. I have the means to resolve this, but what about the next time
around? What about Tyler? Heâs powerless if the others make use of his only weakness and harm
him.â
Vicky swallowed hard. âOld Mister Hart, I can agree to any other terms, but I promised Tyler that I-â
âSo youâd rather watch him die than give up on fulfilling your words?â interjected Old Mister Hart. âMs.
Shaw, forgive me for being blunt, but what youâre doing is merely selfsatisfaction.â Old Mister Hartâs
usually gentle voice was tainted with seriousness. âYou only have two options now. Firstly, you can
continue to be with him and cure him⦠If his condition worsens, he might not be willing to be with you
any longer regardless of what you think. Secondly, you can leave him and let others fix him so he can
live a normal life.â
