Vicky instinctively patted her belly. âThis childâ¦canât stay.â
Vickyâs heart ached at the thought, and she was overwhelmed by suffocating pain.
â¦
A week later.
The atmosphere in the Hart Corporationâs conference room was tense.
This meeting was not an ordinary board meeting; it was an internal meeting for the Hart family.
The meeting was of utmost importance, and nearly everyone with a stake in the Hart Corporation was
present. There were more people here than at the familyâs annual festive banquet.
Old Mister Hart, who had been out of the picture for a long time, sat in the first seat on the right,
listening to the discussions around him with a stern expression.
âWhatâs going on this time? Is Hart Corporationâs liquidity really in trouble?â
âI canât believe Tyler made such a foolish decision!â
âI think Avery has brainwashed him! He handed all our important partnerships to the Yeager family. Isnât
he afraid that the Yeager family can turn on us? Now, they have leverage over us!â
âWe all understand such a simple principle. Tyler canât be oblivious to these tactics. Shouldnât he have
started fighting back by now? If he doesnât start soon, it might all be too late.â
âIn all these years, Tyler has never made a mistake in his decisions. I believe he must have a
contingency plan.â
âHe better, or the Hart family might be in serious trouble.â
âTyler is the head of the Hart family, and I believe he wonât make a wrong decision.â
âI want to believe in him too, but now, with Hart Corporation facing such a crisis, heâs off on his
honeymoon with some womanâ¦â
The main seat remained empty as the Hart family members discussed fervently.
Old Mister Hartâs face remained grim as he stayed silent.
Hart Corporationâs market value had evaporated by billions due to this unexpected incident, leaving the
profit-driven Hart family members in chaos.
After an uncertain period, the conference room door swung open, and a young man entered the room.
Seeing Tyler, everyone bombarded him with questions.
âTyler, whatâs happening between Hart Corporation and Yeager Corporation? If youâre not sure about
resolving this issue, you shouldnât break ties with the Yeager family.â
âDo you have any other plans? Hart Corporationâs stock is hitting the daily limit down every day. If this
continues, we might risk being delisted!â
âTyler, if you canât handle it, why not appease the Yeager family for now? I donât think theyâre doing well
either. Weâve been partners for many years. Thereâs no need for us to sink together, is there?â
The room buzzed with concerns, clearly indicating how seriously they viewed the situation.
Tyler remained calm and composed. âLet me explain, everyone.â
Considering Tylerâs ruthless ways and the fact that he had risen to the position of the family head, the
Hart family members dared not to challenge his authority.
As he spoke, the chatter gradually subsided.
All eyes were on Tyler as he scanned the room, his voice low and chilling. âRegarding Yeager
Corporation, Iâm well aware of the situation and have devised a plan to address it, so thereâs no need to
worry. As for your losses, I will compensate everyone from my share of the profits by the end of the
year.â
Tylerâs words brought a measure of calm to the anxious crowd.
