A shudder coursed through Noah's body, and he could not help but curse, "Holy sh*t! This Tyler is ruthless."
'Thank heavens my manhood is still intact,' he thought after remembering the one time when he pretended to be Vicky's boyfriend. Just thinking of this sent a chill running up his spine.
"How could Tyler's parents not be angry when both their beloved adopted son and father have been sent to the hospital because of him? So while Senior Hart was lying unconscious in the hospital, Tyler's parents began the so-called 'treatment' on him, but anyone with a brain could tell that it was clearly a form of torture. I don't know any other specific details since I only found out by overhearing the discussion from the other Hart family members."
"And then what happened?" prompted Noah.
"It's not like Tyler's parents could kill Tyler there and then because, as you said, that'll make them no better than animals. Senior Hart values his bloodline more than anything in the world.

As much as Senior Hart hates that Tyler and his adopted brother were swapped at birth, his own son will always trump his own grandkid when it comes to crunch time.
"Plus, nothing serious happened to Tyler during the electric shock therapy, so Senior Hart only reprimanded Tyler's parents and dropped it at that. After that, Tyler's parents must've gotten some inspiration from the electric shock therapy and decided to use hypnosis on Tyler."
"Hypnosis? What is their end goal by doing that?" asked Noah with a frown.
"They most probably want to erase the existence of Vicky from Tyler's memory," answered James. "It is said that he was very cooperative at the beginning. Those from the Hart family all thought that he was afraid of being tortured again, so that was why he was being submissive, and they even praised Tyler's parents for their ingenious ideas. But…"
