Since Vernon was the head of the family, Alana did not dare to argue with him. She turned back and continued to pass on her wisdom to Avery."All a man cares about is his ego. Just let him marry whoever he wants. Otherwise, he'll just get a mistress or two after you're married to him. The one thing in this world that you shouldn't count on is a man's feelings for you."Even if he decides to marry Vicky today, what's not to say he won't divorce her tomorrow? So you see, it's not about Vicky. As a matter of fact, it could be any other woman. Plus, you're pregnant with his kid, so you shouldn't worry too much. There'll be plenty of opportunities for you to see him once the baby is born."'Mom's right. Tyler will eventually be mine as long as I have the baby. I can use the baby to get closer to him!' thought Avery, feeling much better after listening to Alana."Thanks, Mom. I know what to do now," she said.Alana was relieved to see her daughter feeling better."Avery, don't forget.

Vicky said nothing.Seeing this, Aurora could not help but tease her, "Vicky, don't tell me you're getting cold feet?"Vicky took a sip of her coffee. "I've already been married once. Why would I get cold feet?""Well, you didn't have a wedding then. Not to mention, thousands of people will be attending the wedding this time, so it must feel different. By the way…" Avery looked at her. "Are you going to invite reporters or hold a livestream on the day of the wedding?"Vicky shook her head. "I haven't thought about all that.""What does Tyler think?""He left the decision to me."Aurora was relieved to hear that. She nodded and said, "It's good he doesn't deliberately try to hide your existence. This way, you can salvage your reputation a little."Seeing Vicky still unhappy, Aurora added, "Come on, Vicky. Cheer up a little! Tyler will be upset if he sees you like this. You know how he treats you when he's upset, right?"Suddenly, she thought of something, so she asked hesitantl

Alana quickly looked around to see whether anyone was around. She sighed with relief when she saw no one was around."Calm down, Avery. The only people who know about this are you, me, and the doctor, right?" she asked.Avery immediately knew where her mother was going with this. "Mom, are you saying…""You just need to change the test result, and everything will be alright."Since Tyler was the head of the family, Alana hoped her daughter would get to marry him instead of Lincoln. After all, Lincoln was just an adopted son who did not win against Tyler even when he had the help of Valencia and Orion. This meant he was incompetent and unworthy of Avery.Avery's eyes turned red. "But the truth will come out if Tyler or Old Mister Hart asks for a retest.""If Tyler says the baby is his, no one will say otherwise.""What do you mean?""As long as Tyler says the baby is his, then…" Alana smiled lightly. "Then the baby is his.""I still don't get what you're trying to say.""Both

Avery never expected Tyler to be that heartless. It was as if his mask was finally off, his true colors revealed.Avery knew part of the reason Tyler chose her was because of her family's fortune, but she did not care. Her family's fortune was just as much as her as her beauty. She also knew there was a chance Tyler might dump her after he rose to the position of head of the Hart family, but she told herself he was a loyal man.After all, he loved Vicky very deeply before he lost his memories, so he would surely be moved by how Avery tirelessly sacrificed everything for him in the four years they had been together. This would make him want to be with her forever, right?At that moment, Avery realized just how wrong she was. She vowed to herself that she would ruin his life if it was the last thing she did. All her love for him had morphed into pure, unadulterated hate.She would make him pay even if it cost her everything!Alana and Avery left Tyler's office in a huff."That Tyle

Ava and Cece were quite close with each other, but Aurora did not know that. She was worried that Ava would be undependable and flaky like Noah."Don't worry. I go way back with Ava, and she's always been quite dependable in our friendship," said Vicky.Aurora was relieved to hear that.…The next day, Vicky got into the car with her bridal party watching her after she put on her wedding dress and makeup.For some reason, her right eyelid had been twitching ever since she left the house.Aurora sensed something was off with Vicky. "Vicky, what's the matter? You don't look so well. Are you feeling sick?" she asked."I don't know why, but I keep feeling like I can't breathe," replied Vicky with a frown."Is it because you're too nervous?"Vicky shook her head. "No."Aurora cracked open the window. "Maybe it's because it feels a little stuffy here. Is this better?"She did not roll down the window all the way down to prevent Vicky's makeup from getting messed up by the wind.V
