Chapter 1570
However, Avery found the idea of introducing Vicky to Lincoln rather promising. She hated them both,
and the thought of them making each other miserable was truly delightful. Moreover, given Vickyâs
background, she would never become a member of the Hart family. Even if Lincoln took her in, Vicky
would merely be a mistress at best.
The notion of Vicky becoming a despised, hidden mistress brought immense satisfaction to Avery. With
Valencia and Orion disliking her as well, Vicky would not have it easy for sure; even Old Mister Hart
would not want Vicky to continue lingering around Tyler.
A sinister plan began to form in Averyâs mind. âLincoln does seem quite fitting for Vicky,â she said with a
suppressed smile. âVicky, how about I arrange a meeting between you and Lincoln in a couple of
days?â
Vickyâs eyes darkened with disgust. âIâm already in a relationship.â
âIf heâs not willing to marry you, then youâre better off without such a man.â
âMiss Yeager-â
âAlright, itâs settled then,â Avery cut in. âAnd by the way, just call me Avery.â
Vicky struggled to hide her impatience.
After finishing the meal, the trio left the restaurant.
âVicky, where are you living now? Why donât I have Tyler drive you home?â offered Avery pretentiously.
âItâs fine,â Vicky responded coldly. âI drove here myself.â
Averyâs offer was a mere formality, so she did not insist.â Alright thenâ¦â
âVicky?â Averyâs words were interrupted by a surprised voice from behind.
All three turned and were equally taken aback.
âGilbert?â Vicky looked at the man approaching her. âAre you having dinner here too?â
Gilbert nodded, his gaze shifting between Avery and Tyler. He smiled. âSo, this was the friend you had
to meet on short notice?â
After signing the contract, Gilbert suggested taking Vicky out for a meal. Normally, it would be quite
ordinary for him to dine with Auroraâs friends, considering he was Auroraâs senior. Vicky had agreed at
the time but later received a call that required her to reschedule their mealtime as she needed to do
something.
Hence, it was unexpected that they ran into one another.
Vicky nodded. âYes.â
Before Gilbert could say anything, Avery exclaimed, âVicky, is this your boyfriend?â
Gilbert knew Vicky did not have a boyfriend, but he also realized that revealing the truth in this context
might cause problems for Vicky, so he did not immediately answer, instead looking at Vicky for
guidance.
Vicky shook her head at Gilbert and said to Avery, âYouâre mistaken. Weâre just friends.â
Avery appeared to be suspicious as she drawled, âOh? Just friends?â
Gilbert sensed the impatience in Vickyâs eyes and assumed she was not friends with the two other
people, so he said,â Vicky, I just remembered that I left a document in your studio. Do you have time
now?â
Vicky gladly took the excuse to leave. âSure.â She turned to bid her farewell to Avery. âI have something
to attend to, so Iâll head back now.â
Avery did not press on. âSure. Go ahead.â
Turning around, she took Tylerâs arm. âTyler, letâs go.â 2 Tyler nodded.
