Valencia, who was sitting in the living room sipping her tea, looked up and frowned at Tyler's impoliteness. Just as she was about to speak, Orion—who was beside Valencia—gently shook his head at her. Suppressing her dissatisfaction, Valencia forced a smile.
"Tyler, why have you come?" she asked.
Over the years, Tyler's visits to them had been few and far between. Valencia had always held resentment toward Tyler, but because Lincoln was still recovering from his illness, she had to temporarily cast her frustration aside.
Since Lincoln's health had improved, the addition of their biological son meant that they had gained an additional competitive edge in the competition for the Hart family's inheritance.
Tyler glanced around the living room and said coldly, "Where is Vicky?"
Valencia's smile froze for a moment, but she replied in a gentle tone, "I happened to run into Vicky at the exhibition, so I invited her here for a chat. Vicky left just a while ago. Didn't she tell you?"
Since Vicky was caught removing her bracelet the night before, she did not bother hiding it anymore and left the bracelet at home.
Before receiving Harry's phone call, Tyler had assumed Vicky was resting at home. Unexpectedly, she was taken away by his biological mother.
"Her phone is turned off." Tyler's chilling gaze fell upon Valencia. "Hand Vicky over."
Valencia could no longer contain the expression on her face. "Tyler, I am your mother. It's one thing not to address me upon entering, but do you really have to speak to your mother with this tone? Is this how you treat your parents?"
Tyler's voice was cold as ice. "Just release Vicky. I don't want to embarrass you."
Valencia turned pale with anger and almost fainted. “Tyler, despite all the wrongs she has done, why did you still marry her and bring her home? That woman is full of lies. If it wasn't for her, you and Lincoln wouldn't be in a fight. She's the root cause of the discord between you and your brother!"
