Tyler had heard the rumors that Chad wanted to ask Bernard to return to Killian Corporation's headquarters to take over Rhett's position.
Bernard snorted. He didn't need the Killian family's measly properties. Not only did he not retort when he saw that Tyler had misunderstood the situation, but he actually went along with it and said, "Good to know your brain is functioning."
"Aren't you so ambitious? Yet you said that you'd never return to Killian Corporation's headquarters. Why are you resorting to underhanded tactics to go back, then? Aren't you ashamed?"
Then, something hit Tyler. He added, "Is it because you're afraid that Hera and I might come to have feelings for one another over time? Are you worried that we might elope?"
As far as Tyler was concerned, Hera was the biggest possibility to make Bernard change his mind.
Meanwhile, Bernard didn't take the bait. "Do I have to report to you for everything I do? What makes you think you have the right?"
"Alright. Just wait and see. You're not going to tear down Mr. Rhett this way!" Tyler turned around and slammed the door behind him.
Skyscraper's security guards were injured by Tyler and sent to the hospital for treatment. The company was waiting for a new batch of security guards to take their place.
The girlfriend of Caroline's cousin seized this opportunity and snuck Desmond in. Both of them arrived at the office door, and they were in time to see Tyler dash out.
Desmond was delighted to see it. Was Tyler also here for the same reason? Was he also here to ask Astral Nova's grandmaster to bail Rhett out? After all, he did overhear them subtly talking about Rhett.
Tyler was rather close to Rhett. He must've come here to bail Rhett out. With Tyler on his side, they stood a greater chance of success.
"Mr. Presgrave…" Desmond had just begun speaking, but Tyler didn't bat an eye at both of them. He simply left.
