The night was as dark as ink when the door to the mansion flew open.
Before the guards had time to react, they were all restrained by the intruders.
Tyler glanced at Harry and ordered, âGather everyone in the mansion. Quickly.â
Harry instantly realized that Tyler wanted to prevent anyone from leaving through the secret passages.
Everyone who worked for Tyler was professional and quick on their feet. Soon, every person in the
mansion was gathered in one place and guarded.
Orion and Valencia, who were informed about the intrusion, hurried over.
âTyler, how dare you barge into your parentâs house in the middle of the night like this?!â Orion
questioned furiously.
Tyler shot them a cold look. âIâll ask you one more time: Where is Vicky?â
Orion and Valencia both guessed why Tyler was there and managed to keep their composure.
Valencia frowned. âHow would we know where she is? You didnât believe us and searched the mansion
once before, didnât you? What do you want now?â
âI think you know what I want.â Tyler stared at Orion and Valencia as though he was merely looking at
two strangers. âHand Vicky over right now, and save yourself the embarrassment.â
Though Orion felt guilty toward Tyler, he was still infuriated by Tylerâs attitude at the moment.
âTyler, is this the way you should treat your parents?â Orionâs voice was as cold as frost.
âWill you willingly hand her over, or do I have to search for her myself?â Tyler questioned coldly.
Orionâs breath hitched as he knew very well that Vicky was currently being held in the mansion.
âIf we let Tyler search the mansionâ¦â Orion thought. âNo way. We canât let him.â
Orionâs expression grew serious. âTyler, we cooperated when you tried to search the mansion last time.
Vicky isnât here, and you know that. Your mother is in poor health. Have you considered her well-being
when you barged in here causing a commotion so late at night?â
âIf you want to rest, hand her over already,â Tyler said.
Orion grew frustrated. âIâve told you! Vicky isnât here!â
Tyler lost his patience and turned to Harry. âGrab the others and start searching.â
Before Harry could leave, a figure stood in front of everyone.
âTyler, are you really willing to go to such lengths to the point of hurting the relationship between you
and your parents, all for the sake of one woman?â Valencia stared directly into Tylerâs eyes.
Indeed, Tylerâs actions seemed to indicate a disregard for his own family.
The couple before him were Tylerâs biological parents.
Though time had changed, anyone who showed disloyalty and disrespect toward their own parents
would still be universally condemned, and Tylerâs actions were clearly immoral.
Instantly, all eyes were on Tyler, and even Harry stopped to look at Tyler for instructions hesitantly as
continuing to search the mansion would invite criticism.
Once news of Tylerâs disrespectful actions toward his parents spread, his name would be forever
tainted, greatly affecting his future chances of inheriting the Hart Familyâs wealth.
Tylerâs expression darkened, and his lips curled into a cold, disdainful smile.
He spoke coldly, âHarry, what are you waiting for? Didnât you hear what I said?â
A flicker of disbelief flashed in Valenciaâs eyes, and her voice became sharp. âTyler, are you truly willing
to sever ties with your parents for the sake of that woman?!â
Tylerâs lips parted slightly to respond when hurried footsteps interrupted.
Harryâs subordinates brought a maid with them.
âMister Hart, all the staff in the estate have been gathered except for this maid who was acting
suspiciously. I found her running off somewhere, so I brought her here.â
As soon as Orion and Valencia saw the maid, their expressions changed drastically as they recognized
that it was the same maid who was supposed to transport Vicky elsewhere.
