Avery was on the brink of losing her rationality as she glared at Vicky. She was overwhelmed by the urge to abandon her composure and rush over to separate Vicky and Tyler.Just when her sanity was about to be incinerated, someone gently tapped her shoulder."Miss Yeager."Avery turned her head and was met with a handsome, cultured face. The sight of him only disgusted her."Lincoln, we're not that close. Stay away from me."Lincoln smiled. "What's wrong? Worried Tyler might misunderstand our relationship? Rest assured, he's too busy to notice you right now. Even if he did see, he wouldn't care."Avery glared at Lincoln. "What do you mean?"Lincoln looked at the two not far away and sighed. "Despite being separated from Vicky for four years and forgetting about her, she's still special to him."Avery widened her eyes, and she shrilly replied, "Tyler cares about me! If it wasn't for your interference, we would've been married long ago! Back when I was embroiled in the scandal, i

Tyler had just left Orion and Valencia's room when Avery approached him."Tyler." Avery studied his refined features and whispered, "Did Uncle and Aunty want to see you?""Yeah," Tyler replied."Was it something important?""It's nothing urgent."Avery had come to delay Tyler as she assumed this was the time when Vicky and Lincoln started being intimate.It was Old Mister Hart's birthday banquet, and many dignitaries had come. If Tyler was to catch Vicky and Lincoln in a compromising position at such an important event, it would be met with public scorn. This would ensure Vicky could never marry into the Hart family!Avery had once caused a scandal with a video, but it was not the same as catching someone in the act in front of everyone. If Tyler saw Vicky naked with another man in public, he would be so disgusted that he might never want to touch her again.The more Avery thought about it, the more excited she became. She even secretly contacted reporters to report the scandal

Valencia was so furious that it seemed her heart might give out. She had not been this angry in years."You ignorant creature! How dare you drug Lincoln to seduce him?! I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents, you filthy rat!"Through the gaps in the crowd, Vicky could see Valencia verbally and physically assaulting a woman. Her face contorted with rage, and she completely lost the image of a high-society lady.It was a rather grotesque sight.However, no matter how grotesque Valencia looked, it could not compare to the woman she was assaulting.Dragged forcibly from the bed, the woman had nothing on her, and the evidence of passionate encounters on her body was on full display for everyone to see.Her senses seemed clouded, and she hardly resisted Valencia's assault. She mumbled to herself, "Tyler... Tyler..."It was only then that Vicky noticed that it was Avery.'Avery...slept with Lincoln?' Vicky thought.The onlookers, witnessing this explosive scene, discreetly

Seeing the two newcomers who rushed in, the expressions of several people grew even worse.Avery's family knew that despite Avery and Tyler publicly announcing their engagement was off, it was just a temporary measure. Avery had no intention of ending the engagement. However, with Tyler witnessing this scandalous scene, he would never agree to marry her.Avery's father and mother had not yet thought of what to say. Valencia was the first to speak up. "Tyler, this little vixen Avery drugged Lincoln and seduced him!"Valencia was biased toward Lincoln, but Tyler was her son as well. Her disdain for Avery had reached its limit, and she was absolutely against Avery marrying into the Hart family. Furthermore, Avery's repeated dalliances between Tyler and Lincoln only increased Valencia's hatred for her. The fact that Avery plotted to sleep with Valencia's elder son and then her younger son felt worse than what Valencia had accused Vicky of all those years ago.'Does she really think she

"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?"Lincoln shook his head and was about to speak when Avery exclaimed, "Lincoln?!"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 se
