Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 1538

Avery waited. When Tyler did not continue, she urged, "Besides, what?"

He looked up at her. "I think that this scheme is aimed at me instead."

Avery was no fool, and realization instantly dawned on her. "Are you saying that...someone doesn't want you to marry me?"

He nodded. "That's right."

"Who?!" Resentment filled her expression. "Who'd do such a thing?"

"Plenty of people might have the motive," Tyler said calmly. "I'm still looking into it."

Avery's prime suspect was her half-sister, Brielle. However, Brielle did not have the capability to carry out such a scheme on the day of the wedding.

Upon hearing Tyler's words, Avery furrowed her brows. "Was it Lincoln...or Old Mister Hart?"

Lincoln did not want them to team up, and during their wedding preparations, he had stirred up quite a bit of trouble. As for Old Mister Hart, he never agreed to Tyler marrying her, but he could not contend with Tyler and eventually relented.

These two men had the power and capability to pull off such schemes. However, Old Mister Hart was particularly concerned about his reputation. The events of their wedding day undoubtedly dealt him a heavy blow to his dignity; he could not have resorted to the tactic of damaging both sides just to stop them from getting married.

Lincoln, on the other hand, was different. He was not a blood relative of the Hart family, so he did not care about tarnishing the family's reputation and was willing to achieve his goals no matter the cost.

Avery was about to leave when something struck her. She turned back, facing the handsome contours of Tyler's face. With a smile, she leaned in to kiss Tyler's cheek.

However, Tyler turned his head to the side, evading her kiss.

A wounded look flickered across Avery's eyes. "Tyler..."

Tyler had no intention of explaining and simply said, "Hurry back and deal with whatever matters you need to take care of."

Avery pursed her lips tightly but quickly regained her composure. "Alright, then. I'll head back now."
