Old Mister Hart had erased everything about Vickyâs existence after Tyler left Stoneford City. A few of
the Hart family members knew about Vicky, but they did not dare to speak of her name due to the
pressure Old Mister Hart exerted on them.
Much later, Vickyâs name became even more taboo after Tyler gained control of the family. That was
why, at that moment, those who knew Vicky looked so shocked when they saw her with Tyler.
âWhatâs going on? I thought Tyler forgot all about his ex-wife! Why are they together again?â they
wondered to themselves.
Turning to her, Tyler asked, âVicky, do you know my mother?â
Compared to Valencia, Vicky was visibly calmer. âNo, I donât. It
âThen why did she ask what youâre doing here?â
Vicky glanced at Valencia indifferently and said, âMaybe sheâs seen me from somewhere?â
Tyler turned back to Valencia. âMom, is that true?â
Valenciaâs expression returned to normal. âYes.â
âWhere have you seen her before?â
Valencia squeezed out a smile. âI just think she looks familiar, but I canât put my finger on where Iâve
seen her before⦠Sigh! I must be getting old âcause I canât remember much nowadays.â
Suddenly, a sultry manâs voice came out of nowhere. One could hear the mockery in his tone as he
asked, âMom, why do you say you donât know Miss Vicky when you obviously know her?â
Valencia turned toward the direction of the voice. A handsome gentleman gracefully walked toward
them.
Valenciaâs expression fell. âLincoln! What⦠What are you talking about? I donât know her at all!â
Lincoln stopped in front of them and looked at Vicky with a smile. âWho here doesnât know Mister
Harveyâs fiancee?
Miss Vicky, are you here to wish my grandfather a happy birthday on Mister Harveyâs behalf?â
Valencia immediately understood what Lincoln was playing at. She pretended to glare at him and said,
âLincoln, Miss Vicky is here with Tyler.â
This meant Vicky did not come on Harveyâs behalf.
Lincoln was first stunned, but his expression then morphed into one of embarrassment. âPardon me. I
didnât know you came with Tyler.â
Since everyone knew Vicky was Harveyâs fiancee, it made sense why everyone looked at her weirdly.
After all, she had only just announced her engagement with Harvey in a high- profile event not long
ago, so why would she suddenly come with Tyler to a family party?
Tyler glanced at Lincoln and said nothing. Thus, that was the end of the little interlude.
Not long after that, the Yeagers arrived too. As old friends of the Harts, they would naturally attend Old
Mister Hartâs birthday party.
Even though the birthday party was held at Stoneford City, the most prominent families still made the
effort to attend.
Avery immediately searched for Tyler with her eyes the moment she entered the banquet hall, and they
quickly lit up once she managed to locate him.
Tyler had been busy ever since that night. Previously, he would eat dinner with her from time to time,
but after that night, he never did again.
She would normally debate the possibilities of why he was so cold toward her, but ever since they had
s*x, she found herself worrying less about him.
For the past few days, she had been taking supplements that would increase her chance of getting
pregnant. She could barely wait for her check-up next month!
