Chapter 1538
Avery waited. When Tyler did not continue, she urged," Besides, what?"
He looked up at her. "I think that this scheme is aimed at me instead."
Avery was no fool, and realization instantly dawned on her." Are you saying that...someone doesn't want you to
marry me?"
He nodded. "That's right."
"Who?!" Resentment filled her expression. "Who'd do such a thing?"
"Plenty of people might have the motive," Tyler said calmly." I'm still looking into it."
Avery's prime suspect was her half-sister, Brielle. However, Brielle did not have the capability to carry out such a

Upon hearing Tyler's words, Avery furrowed her brows. "Was it Lincoln...or Old Mister Hart?"
Lincoln did not want them to team up, and during their wedding preparations, he had stirred up quite a bit of
trouble. As for Old Mister Hart, he never agreed to Tyler marrying her, but he could not contend with Tyler and
eventually relented.
These two men had the power and capability to pull off such schemes. However, Old Mister Hart was particularly
concerned about his reputation. The events of their wedding day undoubtedly dealt him a heavy blow to his dignity;
he could not have resorted to the tactic of damaging both sides just to stop them from getting married.
Lincoln, on the other hand, was different. He was not a blood relative of the Hart family, so he did not care about
tarnishing the family's reputation and was willing to achieve his goals no matter the cost.
"Lincoln!" Avery gritted her teeth. "I will not let him get away with this!"
Tyler calmly reminded her, "While Lincoln might not have become the heir of the Hart family, he still holds
considerable power in his hands these years."
Avery's gaze darkened. "So what? Wasn't he lifted into power by my family in the first place? If we can put him
there, we can drag him down anytime we want. Whatever support he gained from my family in the past will have to
be returned!"
When she got engaged to Lincoln, she had prepared herself long ago against his possible betrayal. If Lincoln dared
to turn against her, the Yeager family would make sure he suffered. They were fully capable of at least diminishing
half of Lincoln's power.
When Avery set her sights on Tyler, she put all thoughts about Lincoln aside. However, she never expected he would
dare to plot against her.

Avery's patience was wearing thin, and she wanted nothing more than to eliminate Lincoln. "Tyler, I just
remembered there's something I need to take care of. You rest for now; I'll be heading back," she said.
Tyler responded coolly, "Sure."
Avery was about to leave when something struck her. She turned back, facing the handsome contours of Tyler's
face. With a smile, she leaned in to kiss Tyler's cheek.
However, Tyler turned his head to the side, evading her kiss.
A wounded look flickered across Avery's eyes. “Tyler..."
Tyler had no intention of explaining and simply said, "Hurry back and deal with whatever matters you need to take
care of."
Avery pursed her lips tightly but quickly regained her composure. "Alright, then. I'll head back now."
