Avery went to medical school, so she was quite confident about her chance of getting pregnant.
However, after getting a taste of what it was like to have s*x with Tyler, she could not help but feel
lonely whenever she laid in her bed at night. Sometimes, she would even fantasize about him.
There was another reason why she wished he would ravish her a few more times. After all, doing so
would greatly increase her chance of getting pregnant. She knew Tyler would be at Old Mister Hartâs
birthday party, so she prepared some drugs before she came. She would just have to wait for the right
time to use them.
Her body started getting hot at the thought of the wild, passionate s*x she would soon be having with
Tyler.
She walked shyly up to him to ask, âTyler, when did you get here?â
Avery only had eyes for him. She completely ignored Vicky, who stood beside him.
Vicky turned her face away to smirk when she saw Averyâs lust-filled face. âShe must be very satisfied
with Tylerâs performance that night to show that kind of face in broad daylight.â
Tyler looked at Avery indifferently. âNot that long ago.â
At that moment, a few people were dancing along with the music.
Avery looked at Tyler with big bright eyes. âTyler, shall we dance?â
âSorry, but I brought a date with me tonight. Iâm afraid I canât dance with you,â said Tyler indifferently.
âA date?â repeated Avery in shock. Her eyes widened when she saw the woman beside him. âVicky
Shaw? Sheâs your date?â
Vicky looked at her impassively. She had no intention to greet her at all.
To her credit, Avery managed to keep her emotions under control. She did not shout or scream. She
was raised to be ladylike, after all.
âWhat is she doing here, Tyler?â
âI told you. Sheâs my date,â explained Tyler simply.
Avery tried to keep her expression friendly, but everyone could see the anger lurking behind her eyes.
âYou couldâve asked me to come with you if you needed a date. After all, Iâve always been your date for
this kind of event in the past.â
âAvery, have you forgotten weâre no longer engaged? Think of what would happen if someone saw you
with me. Our names will be splashed across the newspaper headline again.â
âThey can write whatever they want. Iâm not scared!â
Tylerâs eyes darkened. âAvery, youâre not a kid anymore. Iâm sure you wonât want to marry into my
family while you have so many scandals to your name, right?â
Avery suddenly felt her breath caught in her throat. She could just imagine all the disparaging remarks
about her s* xual morality if she was caught harassing Tyler after their engagement was called off.
If that was to happen, Tylerâs parents would do everything they could to prevent her from marrying into
the family. The more scandals she had, the harder it would be for her to marry Tyler!
After all, as the head of the Hart family, Tyler could have his pick of any woman. Why would he marry
someone with so many scandals? Just because she was pretty or because her family was rich? Plenty
of other heiresses were prettier and richer than her. Not to mention, some of them were not embroiled
in any scandal at all.
âAvery.â Tylerâs tone suddenly became deeper than usual. â My family has been shopping around for a
new fiancee for me, so itâs good to have someone like Vicky to divert their attention for the time being.â
Avery was stunned for a few seconds. She could feel the resentment in her heart slowly disappearing.
âYouâre not lying to me, are you, Tyler?â
âYouâll only have to observe my familyâs reaction to know that Iâm telling the truth.â
Avery looked around at the guests, and sure enough, everyone looked at Vicky weirdly.
âOh, Tyler. I shouldâve never doubted you. Youâre so good to me,â gushed Avery, feeling touched by his
thoughtfulness. After that, she looked condescendingly at Vicky.
