Loving You In Secret

Tyler took a drag from his cigarette and responded with a nonchalant hum.

Although Vicky witnessed the whole incident, she was not entirely clear on what had happened.

She picked up a wine glass and handed it to him, asking," What's the deal with Avery and Lincoln?"

Taking the glass from her, Tyler's voice remained emotionless. "It's exactly what you saw."

'He might as well not answer my question,' she thought.

She raised her own glass, lightly clinking it against his. After taking a sip of wine, she continued, "What I mean

is...she's always been infatuated with you. Why would she sleep with Lincoln?"

Vicky carefully considered the events of that day, and the more she thought about it, the stranger it seemed. Even

if Avery was desperate, she could have chosen to sleep around on another occasion instead of Mister Hart's

birthday banquet, especially when Tyler was present as well.

Most importantly, Avery got caught in the act.

Tyler extinguished his cigarette and responded with cold detachment, "You should be asking them this question, not

me."

Vicky fell silent once again, struggling to find words for what felt like an eternity. When she finally spoke, she asked,"

You've gone to great lengths to pave the way for Avery, and she ends up with someone else... You must feel terrible

about it, right?"

"Hm?" Tyler's lashes fluttered slightly. "What are you trying to say?"

"Nothing, I just...wanted to comfort you."

"Comfort me?" Tyler raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Why are you concerned about my feelings all of a sudden?"

Tyler's words stunned Vicky. Since their reunion, especially after he had taken her forcefully, she had not genuinely

cared about his emotions. Her concern indeed seemed out of place.

Vicky picked up her glass, pondering how to explain. Before she could speak, Tyler continued, "Are you short on

money?"

Vicky nearly choked on her drink.

It appeared that in Tyler's eyes, she was the type of person who only offered kindness when she wanted something

from someone. Although her motives were not entirely pure, it was never about gaining anything from him.

However, Tyler was unlikely to believe that.

With this in mind, Vicky said, "If I wanted to develop my career in Molivia..."

Tyler immediately understood her intentions. "I'll have my assistant arrange everything for you," he said.

Vicky poured another glass of wine for him while smoothly changing the subject without drawing attention to it.

"Why would Avery and Lincoln agree to get married?"

He extended his arm and pulled her into his embrace. "They have no option but to do so. Avery can't afford to be

involved in another scandal, and Lincoln doesn't want to be known as a womanizer."

She read the unspoken message in his words and said, "So you're saying that...this is just a temporary solution, and

they'll soon get a divorce?"

"Yeah."

There was no winning in such a situation. Getting a divorce was a better option than being condemned by the

world.

Because of what happened, the stock value for the Harts and Yeagers' business dropped to various degrees.

The Hart family was a big clan, and if Lincoln failed to handle this issue, the other members of the family would not

spare him from causing financial loss. Even the members who once supported him might turn against him and

could potentially force him to give up on the share he owned.
