Chapter 892
âAllergic to seafood?â
Each family was to inform the host ahead of time about their dietary requirement.
Old Mister Hart glanced at Valencia and Orion, who paled as none of them expected Tyler to point it out
so bluntly.
Old Mister Hart instantly realized what had happened and called the butler over. âTake all the dishes at
Tylerâs table down and check with Vicky to see what she wants, then tell the kitchen to make other
dishes.â
The butler dared not to delay and urged the servant to take the dishes down.
The others were distracted from their meals and turned to look at Tyler and Vicky, all the while
whispering among themselves.
âWhat a drama queen to cause a motion over a few dishesâ¦â
âIsnât that right? She was already late to the gathering and kept us all waiting. Now, she is causing a
scene over the food. Does she really think that this is her house?â
âI heard that her family background is only slightly better than ordinary people, and after her family
declared bankruptcy, she managed to get to where she is now by seducing menâ¦â
âHow disgustingâ¦â
The chattering sounded familiar like the one Vicky heard years ago.
In these peopleâs eyes, once they developed a prejudice against someone, that personâs existence
alone would be a mistake.
Vicky had been condemned by so many across the years that she had grown numb toward it, so she
remained seated expressionlessly.
As the crowd criticized Vicky, Isabella felt immense satisfaction and could not resist making sarcastic
remarks. â A woman who canât bear the slightest grievance and lacks any sense of propriety is truly
embarrassing. She should just go back to where she came from and get a divorce, sparing the Hart
family any further shame!â
After all, Old Mister Hart was present, so Isabella could not be too harsh with her words and assumed
Vicky would continue to silently endure as she had done in the past.
However, Tyler, who sat next to Vicky, suddenly turned to face Isabella. âWhat did you say?â
Isabella did not have much interaction with Tyler in the past, but her distaste for everyone on Orionâs
side of the familyincluding Tylerâhad tainted her impression of him.
In her memory, this cousin of hers, who had been mistakenly taken into a different family, seemed to
possess no redeeming quality apart from his looks.
The Hart family boasted a long and prestigious history, with an abundance of talent and excellent
genes. All progenies not only possessed good looks regardless of their gender but also had
exceptional intelligence; even the distant parts of the family were filled with top-notch professionals in
various industries. Hence, it was exceptionally difficult to stand out in such a family
Given their equal talents, the descendants of the Hart Family competed in terms of looks as well.
Lincoln was considered one of the three best-looking men in the family along with Isabellaâs brother,
which had always been a sore point for her.
Lincoln, Morgan, and Robin were all considered extremely good-looking, but Morgan had long passed
away, and to Isabella, Lincoln was hardly a match for her brother, Robin.
Later, when she heard that Lincoln was an adopted child and not a true member of the Hart family, she
reveled in joy for a long time, thinking that it was laughable for an adopted child to compete with her
brother.
When Tyler was reintroduced to the family, she found herself in a depth of frustration.
After all, Lincoln was only considered equal to her brother, while Tyler managed to surpass Robin.
Because of that, Isabella had not refrained from speaking ill of Tyler in public gatherings.
