Chapter 1640
"Are you some kind of a saint? Did Tyler not come from your womb?" Avery retorted.
She was not worried about being seen at all and wanted nothing more than to have everyone know about her
relationship with Tyler. Since they were caught in the act, she felt pleased knowing that no one would dare try to
seduce Tyler again.
Many other women apart from Vicky tried to seduce Tyler at the bouquet, and Avery refused to let them win.
Sensing that Avery felt no guilt, Valencia came close to fainting from rage. "No one would say a thing if this was
consensual. I just think that you used some kind of dirty tricks to get your way!" She turned to Lincoln and asked,"
Lincoln, why don't you tell us if this was consensual?"

Finally noticing Lincoln, she continued, "Shouldn't you be asking Tyler instead? Why are you asking him? Tyler and
I..."
Valencia narrowed her eyes sarcastically. "Keep up the act, Avery! Let's see how much longer you will last!” She
turned to Doctor Efron and asked, "Doctor Efron, Lincoln was drugged, wasn't he?"
Doctor Efron nodded. "Yes, Miss Yeager and Mister Lincoln have both been affected."
"Can you tell us what they were affected by?" Old Mister Hart asked.
Doctor Efron glanced at him, noting his silence, before responding, "When I entered the room earlier, I detected an
unusual fragrance. I suspect that..."
Before Doctor Efron could finish, the butler arrived, holding an already burnt-out candle. "Sir, I found this inside."
Doctor Efron took the candle and gently sniffed at it. His expression shifted. "This is it."
Alana, Avery's mother, appeared ready to offer an explanation, but the butler interrupted her, bringing out Avery's
bag and pouring its contents out for everyone to see.
Three incense boxes tumbled out, along with several bottles of unidentified substances.
Doctor Efron picked up one of the incense boxes and took a whiff, his expression becoming increasingly perplexed."
These contain aphrodisiacs. However, in terms of potency, it's this burnt-out candle that is the most intense."
Valencia pointed at Avery and shrilly exclaimed, "Are you all seeing this? It was this woman who drugged and
seduced our Lincoln! If she hadn't used these drugs, he wouldn't even spare her a glance!"
Old Mister Hart's expression darkened, but he did not intervene to stop Valencia's inappropriate remarks. Instead,
he allowed the gathered crowd to witness the unfolding spectacle.
He had not dispersed the onlookers for a reason and aimed to shift the blame onto the Yeager family.

Although Avery and Tyler had officially called off their engagement, the fact that Lincoln slept with Avery so soon
after suggested they might have been involved long before the engagement was called off.
Old Mister Hart had his grievances with Lincoln, but no matter what, he was still a member of the Hart family. If
Lincoln disgraced himself, it would reflect poorly on the entire family.
With Tyler as the head of the Hart family, news of two brothers fighting over a woman could irreparably damage
the family's reputation.
Alana paled slightly as evidence was uncovered from Avery's bag. She immediately tried to deflect the blame." You
mean to tell me you can identify these substances just by their smell? I find that hard to believe. Perhaps the Harts
have intentionally staged this drama, framing our dear Avery. N
Doctor Efron was displeased to hear this. "If you doubt my medical expertise, we can call in several other doctors to
perform an immediate analysis. What do you think of that, Alana?"
