Chapter 1669
Tyler tightened his hold on Vickyâs waist and calmly stated,â Iâm sorry, but Iâm getting married soon, so I
canât marry you.â
Avery widened her eyes. âEven if Iâm carrying your child?â
Tyler nodded. âThatâs correct.â 3
Avery could not believe her ears.
Her face twisted with rage, and she gritted out, âIf you wonât marry me, thereâs no reason for this child
to exist!â
Averyâs threat did not even faze Tyler. âIf you insist on not having the child, Iâll respect your choice.â
Avery took a few steps back. âWhat did you say?â
âIâll respect any choice you make.â 1
Avery thought that she held an ace in her hand, only to be proven wrong as she did not imagine that
Tyler would respond in such a manner.
Suddenly, she thought of something and turned to look at Old Mister Hart.
Old Mister Hart calmly sipped his tea, while Valencia and Orion sat on their respective sofas, appearing
as though they had not heard her.
Avery felt momentarily lost and helpless. âWhy? Why are Old Mister Hart and Tylerâs parents so cold-
hearted when they supposedly valued their descendants the most?â 1
Vicky observed Averyâs bewilderment with a comprehensive understanding of the situation.
Old Mister Hart and Tylerâs parents had spent their entire lives navigating the treacherous waters of the
family, having experienced more than Avery could ever imagine. They had seen all sorts of women and
situations, including women attempting to use children as leverage in exchange for status.
Avery, despite her noble birth, was no different from those who tried to manipulate others with a child.
The Harts would never allow themselves to be manipulated by such a woman.
If they succumbed to Averyâs threat, she would continue to use the child to manipulate them in the
future. Old Mister Hart and Tylerâs parents were well aware of this.
Avery started to panic in response to their lack of reaction and exclaimed angrily, âIâll terminate this
child! I mean it!â 1
âAvery.â Old Mister Hart looked up at her and said, âIf you wish to give birth to this child, the Hart family
will not
mistreat you. However, if you donât want to, we wonât force you. After all, you are the childâs mother.â
Avery glared at him with bloodshot eyes. âSo what exactly do you mean? Do you want me to bear a
child for your family for nothing?â
Old Mister Hart sighed. âYou are the childâs mother, and thatâs a fact no one can change. Tyler is the
head of the Hart family, and after this child is born, he or she will have the right to inherit the Hart
family. Naturally, we are willing to provide you with some compensation within our capabilities.
