The Hart family members ranted and criticized Tyler incessantly, but Tyler remained unfazed.
Half an hour later, Old Mister Hart finally spoke up. âThatâs enough, all of you. Be quiet!â he shouted
angrily. âLeave. I need to have a private conversation with Tyler.â
Old Mister Hart had held sway over the Hart family for many years, and his authority ran deep.
Everyone in the room still hoped Old Mister Hart would come up with a solution that would allow them
to continue enjoying their wealth and prosperity, so they dared not defy him.
With cold glares aimed at Tyler, they left one by one.
Thus, only Tyler and Old Mister Hart were left in the living room.
Old Mister Hartâs voice trembled. âIt seems Saulâs hypnosis has failed. These years, youâve never had
any sense of belonging to the Hart family, andâ¦I suppose you resent me and the Harts. Isnât that
right?â
Old Mister Hart was a person who prioritized his interests. For the sake of profit, he could give up his
family and loved ones.
The Hart familyâs power was both tempting and supreme, and he assumed any man would struggle to
let it go.
Old Mister Hart believed there were no permanent enemies or friends, only permanent interests. He
thought that Tyler, after tasting the thrill of holding power, would not easily give it up.
Tyler did not deny it. âThis was never my home, and they were never my family.â
âIndeed. So when it comes to destroying it, you have no reservations.â Old Mister Hart managed a
bitter smile. âI never expected that all these years, you strive for power just to destroy the Hart family.â
Old Mister Hart had always been confident. However, he forgot that his speculations were based on his
standards.
Tylerâs goal in taking control of the Hart family was not for power; it was solely for revenge.
Tyler replied calmly, âGrandfather, youâre getting old, and you shouldnât worry too much. Rest assured
that even if the family truly goes bankrupt, I will ensure you live the rest of your life without any worries.â
Living without worries and witnessing everything he worked for his whole life being destroyed were two
different things.
Old Mister Hart looked at Tyler and softened his tone. âTyler, I know you care for the child Vicky is
carrying. Now that youâve become the head of the Hart family, you can marry whomever you wish
without anyoneâs interference! You see, this is the advantage of having powerâ¦
âTyler, no matter what, you still carry the blood of the Hart family in your veins. These years, youâve
also dedicated a lot to the family. You wonât let the Hart family go bankrupt, will you?â
Old Mister Hart wanted to persuade Tyler, but Tyler interrupted him with indifference.
âYou are right. With power, I can do whatever I please, and no one can stop me.â He gazed at Old
Mister Hart with a half-smile. âWhich is why thereâs nothing you can do to stop me.â
Old Mister Hart paled slightly. âTyler, I know the Hart family has wronged you. I can apologize to youâ¦
Grandfather can gather all the Hart family members and apologize to you. What do you think?â
âThat wonât be necessary,â Tyler declined casually. âTo be honest, Iâve never taken to heart what you
and the Hart family did to me.â
âIn that case, everything youâve done is just to get back at us for what happened back then, when we
stopped you and Vicky from being together?â
Tyler elegantly reclined on the couch. âBack then, when you first destroyed our relationship and caused
us to break up, I overlooked it because weâre family. Iâve never expected that compromise would only
make things worse. Since you all want me to come home, I decided that Iâd do so. However, Iâll never
give anyone the chance to control my destiny again.â
At this point, Old Mister Hart realized that Tyler had made his decision and could not be swayed
anymore.
