Loving You In Secret Chapter 1648-Tyler took a drag from his cigarette and responded with a
nonchalant hum.
Although Vicky witnessed the whole incident, she was not entirely clear on what had happened.
She picked up a wine glass and handed it to him, asking,â Whatâs the deal with Avery and Lincoln?â
Taking the glass from her, Tylerâs voice remained emotionless. âItâs exactly what you saw.â
âHe might as well not answer my question,â she thought.
She raised her own glass, lightly clinking it against his. After taking a sip of wine, she continued, âWhat
I mean isâ¦sheâs
always been infatuated with you. Why would she sleep with Lincoln?â
Vicky carefully considered the events of that day, and the more she thought about it, the stranger it
seemed. Even if Avery
was desperate, she could have chosen to sleep around on another occasion instead of Mister Hartâs
birthday banquet,
especially when Tyler was present as well.
Most importantly, Avery got caught in the act.
Tyler extinguished his cigarette and responded with cold detachment, âYou should be asking them this
question, not me.â
Vicky fell silent once again, struggling to find words for what felt like an eternity. When she finally
spoke, she asked,â
Youâve gone to great lengths to pave the way for Avery, and she ends up with someone else⦠You
must feel terrible about
it, right?â
âHm?â Tylerâs lashes fluttered slightly. âWhat are you trying to say?â
âNothing, I justâ¦wanted to comfort you.â
âComfort me?â Tyler raised an eyebrow in surprise. âWhy are you concerned about my feelings all of a
sudden?â
Tylerâs words stunned Vicky. Since their reunion, especially after he had taken her forcefully, she had
not genuinely cared
about his emotions. Her concern indeed seemed out of place.
Vicky picked up her glass, pondering how to explain. Before she could speak, Tyler continued, âAre you
short on money?â
Vicky nearly choked on her drink.
It appeared that in Tylerâs eyes, she was the type of person who only offered kindness when she
wanted something from
someone. Although her motives were not entirely pure, it was never about gaining anything from him.
However, Tyler was
unlikely to believe that.
With this in mind, Vicky said, âIf I wanted to develop my career in Moliviaâ¦â
Tyler immediately understood her intentions. âIâll have my assistant arrange everything for you,â he
said.
Vicky poured another glass of wine for him while smoothly changing the subject without drawing
attention to it. âWhy
would Avery and Lincoln agree to get married?â
He extended his arm and pulled her into his embrace. âThey have no option but to do so. Avery canât
afford to be involved
in another scandal, and Lincoln doesnât want to be known as a womanizer.â
She read the unspoken message in his words and said, âSo youâre saying thatâ¦this is just a temporary
solution, and
theyâll soon get a divorce?â
âYeah.â
There was no winning in such a situation. Getting a divorce was a better option than being condemned
by the world.
Because of what happened, the stock value for the Harts and Yeagersâ business dropped to various
degrees.
The Hart family was a big clan, and if Lincoln failed to handle this issue, the other members of the
family would not spare
him from causing financial loss. Even the members who once supported him might turn against him
and could potentially
force him to give up on the share he owned.
