Avery’s mood grew better once she learned Tyler only brought Vicky to the party to divert unwanted attention from her. This, in turn, made her less hostile toward Vicky as well.

Not long after that, Old Mister Hart came down from his room. As the head of the Hart family and his grandson, Tyler was the first to wish him a happy birthday. As his date, Vicky had to accompany him.

Old Mister Hart must have been informed of her arrival since he did not look too shocked when he saw her. Instead, he smiled and nodded politely at her. His attitude was not wholly cold, but it could not be called friendly either.
