Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 1528

Vernon gritted his teeth. Alas, he could not come up with a good retort.

Indeed, the Hart family was ashamed, but the Yeager family was even more humiliated. In fact, this was the most humiliated Vernon had ever been in his life.

Avery was furious at Lincoln's obvious attempt at publicly sowing discord.

"Lincoln Hart, you were in on this, too! You must've teamed up with that b*tch Brielle! Don't think I don't know what your motives are! You plan to break me and Tyler up so you can take over as the future successor of the Hart family!" shrieked Avery.

Lincoln pretended to be surprised. "Miss Avery, don't you know Tyler has the power in the family? He doesn't need support from your family anymore. Instead of suspecting me, you should suspect…"

He looked meaningfully at Tyler with a smirk. Only a fool would not understand what he was implying.

Avery's eyes started to waver as suspicions took root in her heart.

"Enough!" said Old Mister Hart finally. "That'll be all for today. We can talk about the rest after we get home."

"Vicky, seems like the Hart family is all over the place…" whispered Jennifer.

Vicky looked at Tyler with conflicted feelings. "You're right."

All the hurt and sadness she felt moments before were all gone.

She hated Avery. The moment she heard about Tyler and Avery's engagement, she felt like all the effort she had given was all in vain. She could not understand why Tyler would choose that evil woman after he was cured of hypnotic control.

Lina did not even bother to hide her glee. "I already took a video of the s*x tape. Let's see how Avery will ever live this down! I won't even be surprised if Tyler called off the wedding!"

She looked at Vicky and Jennifer. "You two are my lucky stars! And for that, I'll double your payment!" After that, she looked at her phone and started laughing again.

…

Given the magnitude of the scandal, the Yeager family and the Hart family needed some time to look into the matter, so the guests were given rooms in the castle to rest. Even the staff were restricted from leaving to prevent news of the scandal from leaking out.

After Lina paid her, Vicky went back to her own room, feeling somewhat…lighter. At that moment, no one else was in the corridor but her. The castle was huge and all the doors looked the same, so she actually got lost.

She was about to call Jennifer when a hand covered her mouth from behind.
