Chapter 1108
Not far away, Aurora saw Avery talking to Tyler and could not help but whisper, âItâs her.â
Vicky turned her head to look at Aurora. âDo you know her?â
Aurora nodded. âHer name is Avery Yeager. She is Lincolnâs fiancee.â
Vicky furrowed her brow slightly.
She had heard rumors about Lincolnâs fiancee. Though she did not know the girlâs name, she knew she
belonged to the prestigious Yeager family, whose background was no less impressive than the Hart
family.
Rumors had it that Valencia hastily arranged a fiancee for Lincoln who could provide support out of fear
biological son, Tyler, would threaten Lincolnâs position, and Lincoln had accepted the arrangement
obediently.
Auroraâs voice rose again. âSpeaking of which, the Yeager family is even more powerful than mine.
Being engaged to Lincoln is considered marrying down a class, I suppose.
Although the Hart family is also a top-tier aristocratic family, Lincolnâs status as an adopted son is
somewhat inferior when compared to Avery. At the time when the engagement was proposed, many
people gossiped about it and criticized Lincoln as a freeloader, calling him a boy toy. Some even openly
mocked himâ¦â 1
Aurora paused for a moment and lowered her voice.â Despite the ridicule and humiliation, Lincoln
remained calm and maintained his gentlemanly demeanor. Despite being targeted by some young
masters who had long held grudges against him, he didnât show a hint of annoyance or inferiorityâ¦
Thatâs when I realized that the Second Young Master of the Hart family isnât some ordinary man. Before
long, he actually got engaged to Avery. My father told me that Lincoln is a resourceful and courageous
man, far from the mediocre person he was rumored to be. With the help of the Yeagers, he grew
stronger. In just a few years, he firmly established himself in the Hart family, and his position became
unshakable even though he is an adopted son.â
Vicky furrowed her eyebrows and asked, âIâve heard Missus Hart and Lincoln mention the matter of
breaking off the engagement with Miss Yeager multiple times. Whatâs the story behind it?â
Aurora looked around to make sure that no one was paying attention before whispering, âSix months
ago, Avery was exposed for having a scandal with a man at a nightclub, and it caused a huge uproar in
our community⦠The news lingered for a week before it was finally suppressed completely. The Hart
family is a well-respected and influential family after all, and they couldnât tolerate such a scandal
involving Avery, so Missus Hart wanted to break off their engagement. With Averyâs reputation ruined,
once Lincoln breaks off the engagement, Iâm afraid not there wonât be a single eligible bachelor willing
to marry her. The bigger the family, the more they care about their reputation.
After all, the scandal of her messing around with guys became public knowledge. Even if she does
have a promiscuous private life, there are still a lot of guys whoâd marry her so long as her lifestyle is
kept a secret. Once itâs been exposed to the public, no noble family will tolerate accepting a woman
with a ruined reputation into their family.
âThatâs why the Yeagers have been dragging this matter on and responded to the Hartsâ request to call
off the engagement. I guess the Yeagers have been searching for evidence to clear Averyâs reputation
during this time. I donât know if sheâs managed to clear her name, butâ¦â Aurora looked at Vicky with a
serious expression. âAvery isnât someone to be taken lightly. The Yeagers have been fighting amongst
themselves lately, but Avery remained standing throughout everything and is highly regarded by the
family. When Lincoln took you to Missus Hartâs party and introduced you as his girlfriend, Avery
mightâve caught wind of that.â Aurora paused and continued, âShe looks harmless, but you never know
what goes on inside her head. You need to be careful, Vicky. She might come after you.â
Vicky nodded. âThank you. I will be careful.â
After a few moments of hesitation, Aurora added, âA huge part of why Avery picked Lincoln as her
fiance was because she liked his face⦠She really likes handsome guys, and looks are her priority.â
Any sane person would favor whatever was easy on the eyes, and it seemed normal for a woman to
like handsome men.
