Chapter 1657

“Yes, but your face was blurred in the photos. Other than those who know you, no one should know

who you are,” Aurora added. “However, because of Avery’s various cheating scandals, everyone is

quite supportive of Tyler having a new girlfriend. They don’t want a handsome, influential guy like him

to be ruined by someone like Avery.”

Vicky held her phone in silence.

Tyler’s change in attitude toward her had been evident. He no longer ordered her around, and he

stopped pushing her into anything she did not want to do.

When he said he was taking her out to have fun, he was genuinely focused on making sure she

enjoyed herself.

Sometimes, Vicky could not help but feel like she was developing Stockholm Syndrome and felt

uncomfortable at the slightest display of kindness from Tyler.

“Vicky, if… I mean if…” Aurora’s voice came through the phone again. “If Tyler still likes you and wants

to be with you, would you be willing to be with him again?”

Vicky held the phone tighter. “I don’t know.”

“You didn’t immediately reject the idea.” After being friends with Vicky for years, Aurora understood her

well. “Vicky, I know you still have feelings for him. And judging by his behavior, he probably won’t allow

you to be with anyone else… Now that his engagement is canceled, and he’s the

head of the Hart family, no one can stop you from being together. Have you considered giving it

another try?”

Aurora did not seem to have much regard for Tyler and preferred if Vicky and Harvey dated instead.

However, Tyler was deviously cunning.

It was nearly impossible for Vicky to be with another man.

Vicky’s reluctance to accept Tyler stemmed from the fact that he was engaged to someone else, and

she did not want to be the other woman. However, Tyler had called off the engagement and seemed

keen on pursuing her.

Continuing the mutual torment was hardly beneficial for the two of them, and it seemed better for them

to get back together.

Vicky’s gaze flickered. “He’s forgotten all about me now. If he remembers…”

“Cross that bridge when you get to it,” dismissed Aurora.” You broke up with him for his sake,

remember? When he remembers, just explain your reasons. Besides, what else could you do? Watch

him go mad? Even without Avery, the Hart family would have torn you both apart,” Aurora whispered.

“Moreover, this recent news caused quite a stir. I don’t believe Tyler is unaware of it. If he didn’t

suppress the news from his end, maybe it’s because he’s preparing for your future together. You said

Tyler was using you as a

distraction at the Hart family banquet, but considering what happened to Avery at the banquet, I think

Tyler was paving

the way for you.”

Vicky fell silent for a long time.

Aurora concluded, “Anyway, have fun. I won’t bother you anymore.”

After ending the call, Aurora looked at Noah in confusion.” Why did you make me persuade Vicky to

accept Tyler?”

“What other options does she have?” Noah replied while petting the cat in his arms. “Fight Tyler?

Besides making herself miserable, what could she gain? It’s better to take advantage of Tyler’s current

status as a free man and take him for herself. Otherwise, if Tyler refuses to let Vicky go even after he

gets married, she’ll be his mistress.”

Aurora scoffed. “Vicky would never want to be a mistress.”

“Harvey can’t beat Tyler, and Vicky certainly can’t either. If Vicky doesn’t willingly cooperate, Tyler has

plenty of ways to make her comply.” Noah pointed at Aurora, then at himself, and finally at the cat in his

arms. “He can use you, me, the people around Vicky, and even our cat as hostages to blackmail Vicky

into compliance… You don’t know what I went through back then. If we can’t beat him, we better join

him.”
