A contemptuous look appeared on Old Mister Hart. "That Hart Family wasn't doing so badly in Stoneford City but was hardly significant when you look at the entire country. They weren't even comparable to the power Tyler possesses in the present, let alone being compared to our family. If they send their son into our family and their son manages to inherit a part of the wealth..."
He paused and continued, "Even if it was just a one percent share, that'll give them more than they had ever owned. Who wouldn't want that?"
What Old Mister Hart said seemed to make sense, but Vicky remained skeptical. "That's just your theory. What if the nurses actually made a careless mistake?"
Old Mister Hart took a sip of tea. "First of all, the doctors and nurses involved in the incident had all gone missing or died. We couldn't find a single witness. Don't you think that's odd? Also, I've already found the truth about the car accident Tyler's adoptive parents ran into."
Vicky's heart sank. "I thought they ran into a car accident on their way to sign a business contract?"
"The contract part is true, but..." Old Mister Hart narrowed his eyes sharply. "They weren't on the way to a business partner but to their biological son."
Vicky jolted in shock. "Are you saying that..."
"The Harts faced bankruptcy at the time. They had spun their web for long enough, and it was time for them to harvest the results. That was the perfect timing for them to reach out to their actual son, don't you think?"
