Vicky stopped and glanced around before spotting the elegant ladies sitting under the pavilion in the distance.
Vicky stepped over and the ladies immediately stopped chatting to stare at her in contempt.
One of the women said, “Are you Vicky Shaw?”
Vicky looked at her. “Yes. And you are?”
The woman lifted her chin with a prideful look on her beautiful face. “I’m Tyler’s mother.”
Vicky jolted in shock.
Tyler rarely mentioned his parents, and all Vicky knew was that his relationship with them was astringed. She also
knew that the status of the Harts had been falling in recent years.
Sensing her confusion, Valencia said, “I’m Tyler’s biological mother. The couple you’re probably thinking of is
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmerely his adoptive parents.”
Vicky was shocked for a few moments but soon accepted it.
‘It’s no wonder that Tyler isn’t close with his parents. So they aren’t related after all,’ Vicky thought, feeling happy
for Tyler as she thought that this was Tyler’s chance of being loved by his true family.
“Aunty Hart, does Tyler know about this…?”
Vicky’s words were interrupted by Valencia’s scolding voice. “Ms. Shaw, please address me as Missus Hart!”
The smile on Vicky’s face froze, as it was evident that Tyler’s mother did not seem to like her very much.
Suppressing her disappointment and sadness, Vicky forced a smile. “I apologize, Missus Hart.”
The other beautiful women sitting nearby looked Vicky up and down, whispering to each other. “Missus Hart, your
son’s taste cannot be condoned, don’t you think? This girlfriend of his lacks manners and proper etiquette. She
can’t even stand properly…”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk! I heard she’s an orphan from a small family… With such a background, how can she be a good match
for your son?”
“The disparity is too great. If words about this get out, your family will become a laughingstock…”
The women chattered on without a care for Vicky’s presence.
Vicky’s heart sank at the realization that Valencia had likely summoned her here to end the relationship between
her and Tyler.
To her bewilderment, Valencia did not immediately suggest a breakup.
Instead, she gave a brief introduction of the Hart Family’s status and influence, and said, “Although your social
status does not quite match ours, Tyler is still my biological son, and he has suffered out there for so many years.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSince he likes you, there’s nothing much I can do about this situation. However…”
She shot Vicky a side-long glance. “The Harts are far more superior when compared to your small, puny family. To
avoid future embarrassment for Tyler and us, you’ll first have to learn etiquette from me.”
Valencia remained prideful, but she did not seem to reject Vicky entirely, which came as a pleasant surprise for
Vicky.
Naively, she believed that as long as she worked hard to change and met Valencia’s standards, Valencia would
gradually come to accept her.
Vicky was reluctant to give up on Tyler and was determined to work as hard as possible.
With that thought in mind, Vicky nodded earnestly. “I understand, Missus Hart. I’ll make an effort to learn.”
At that time, Tyler was still dealing with his company’s crisis. After consideration, Vicky decided to wait until she
gained Valencia’s approval before telling him about what happened.
However, what she did not expect was that Valencia’s words were not meant to approve of her but rather to make
her realize the gap between her and Tyler, forcing her to give up willingly.
