“Hey, gorgeous! Care to join me for a drink in my room?” cooed the man.
Vicky’s expression changed. She immediately shook his hand away. “Sir, please behave!”
The man grabbed her wrist again and said lewdly, “Hehe! I’ve been a bad boy, haven’t I? Why don’t you spank me, then?”
Vicky did not want to waste her time arguing with the man, so she warned him, “Sir, I’m going to scream if you do anything to me.”
“Go ahead. Scream all you like. No one will come to save you ’cause I’m Braxton Hart! Plus…” His eyes roved lustily over Vicky’s body. “All the guests here are from the Hart family. Your screaming will just alert them to the fact that I’ve had my way with you, and Tyler will forever have to carry the shame of being cheated on.”
‘So he’s Braxton Hart.’ Vicky’s eyes flickered. ‘No wonder he looks so familiar!’
Tyler had gained somewhat of a firm foothold in the family since he came back, but he had not reached the point where he could call the shots. The branch of the family that had the most influence was Braxton’s. This was due to all the support Old Mister Hart had given to his family, which only served to bolster their status in recent years.
Braxton might be a good-for-nothing party boy, but his brother, Xander Hart, was an experienced businessman who knew how to always get his way. The two of them were also older brothers to Isabella Hart, the same girl who caused trouble for Vicky in the past.
Vicky failed to recognize Braxton at first because he never set foot in Zendonia before. As she finally saw him, she had nothing but contempt for him to the point she felt her disgust rising to her throat.
Getting no reply from her, Braxton thought his threat worked on her. His Adam’s apple bobbed when he fixed his eyes on Vicky’s beautiful face. ‘I have to hand it to Tyler. He has very good taste. His wife’s the most beautiful woman out of the countless women I’ve met over the years.’
He smiled flirtatiously at Vicky. “No wonder Tyler chose you over coming back to the family. I would, too, if I had a wife like you. But I should warn you: it’s best to stay away from that crazy psycho.”
He then looked around to make sure no one else was within earshot before pointing to his head and saying quietly, “Tyler became not right in the head after Valencia and Orion forced him to undergo hypnotherapy and shock therapy. All those treatments messed up his brain, you know. Plus, have you heard about the reason why he was kicked out of the family a few years back? Well, I’ll tell you why. I heard he couldn’t recognize anyone after he was poisoned, but that’s just preposterous. I mean, what kind of poison does that?”
Braxton told Vicky everything he knew in the hopes of making her like him.
“At that time, he was trying madly to find you, which resulted in him aggressively attacking every Hart family member in sight. He was so good at fighting that not even the bodyguards could stop him. But it wasn’t long till he succumbed to the poison, making it impossible for him to fight anymore. After that… he went raving mad though he still retained his wits about him, so he always found a way to escape.
“He was willing to end himself and the entire Hart family to get what he wanted. My uncle and aunt, who are known to be ruthless, wanted nothing more than to avenge their adopted son. Still, they were no match for a crazy person.
“Little did they know, Tyler was crazy enough to break his hand to get out of the handcuffs they restrained him with just so he could escape. He then set fire to the house, and it was nearly burned to the ground. No one dared to touch Tyler with a ten-feet pole after that, and that’s why he was kicked out of the house.”
Vicky’s expression turned pale when she heard that. She had heard bits and pieces about what happened to Tyler when he was imprisoned in the Harts’ mansion.
