Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 1641

Alana Yeager froze. She had not expected Doctor Efron to be so daring.

At this point, Avery was finally starting to piece together what happened, and her eyes widened in shock.

"You've got it all wrong! I was intimate with Tyler, not Lincoln! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" She turned to Tyler with desperation in her eyes. "Tyler, say something! It was you on the bed with me, not Lincoln, right?"

Tyler lowered his gaze to face Avery's hopeful eyes and said, "It wasn't me, Avery."

Avery's words came out in a jumble. "B—But it was you! It must've been you! Weren't you waiting for me in the room the whole time? You even let me go take a bath first. When I came out, you carried me over and embraced me passionately, just like last time—"

"Avery, that's enough!" warned Vernon, noticing Avery's words were becoming improper by the second.

It was a well-known fact that Tyler was outside of the room when everything happened, yet Avery was trying to pin this on Tyler, which only made her look vulgar and shameless.

Avery might not care about her reputation, but her father certainly could not afford that kind of disgrace.

"Old Mister Hart," Vernon addressed Old Mister Hart. "Avery is single, and so is Lincoln. They're both young, and it's only natural that they can't resist their feelings. Since this has already happened, why not...consider marrying them?"

"Absolutely not!" Avery and Valencia spoke out in unison.

"Dad, I refuse to marry Lincoln! The person I want to marry is Tyler! Lincoln isn't even worthy of me!" Avery shouted.

Everyone present stared silently at Avery in disbelief; they all wondered how she managed to be so confident about herself.

After Valencia fainted, the crowd dispersed.

The Yeagers wanted to reach an agreement with the Harts.

Seeing that he had successfully shifted the blame to the Yeagers, Old Mister Hart accepted their request.

While Avery and Lincoln went to get changed, Vernon proposed, "Old Mister Hart, there's no point in discussing who's responsible for this. To be honest, it's right that Avery won't get to marry anyone successful, but I'm afraid it's equally unlikely for Lincoln to marry someone decent either. If the two of them aren't together, they'd be condemned by the world. I'm sure the Harts can't afford such humiliation as well. If our competitors take this opportunity to bring us down, both of our family businesses will suffer. Why don't we marry them to each other?"

Old Mister Hart fell into silence and turned to look at Tyler. "Tyler, you are the head of the family now. What do you make of this?"
