Tyler felt more rxed after the kiss, and his tone of voice was no longer as rigid. “Wait here. I’lle
back soon.” He lowered his head and nted a gentle kiss on her forehead.” Don’t worry. I will give you
a satisfying ending.”
With that, he let Vicky go and stepped out of the room.
Shortly after Tyler left, someone knocked on the door again, and a beautiful woman strode in elegantly.
“Are you alright, Miss Shaw?”
Vicky studied Avery, who stood before her.
Avery sized up Vicky and smiled. “Although the injuries on your face may look frightening, they’re just
superficial wounds and nothing serious. However, Missus Hart was pushed into the water, and even if
you acted in self-defense, you’ve overdone it.”
“What are you trying to say, Miss Yeager?”
Avery smiled faintly. “I saw Tyler going to see Missus Hart just now. I assume he went to plead for you.
It’s only my first day at the Hart household, and I already get to witness such a spectacle… I imagine it
won’t be lonely for me once I settle in here.”
Vicky detected the underlying meaning in Avery’s words.” Settle in here?”
Avery feigned surprise. “Yes, didn’t you know? I’ve already discussed it with Missus Hart. I’ll be staying
here for a while, and she has agreed…” Turning her head, Avery looked at Vicky with an ambiguous
smile. “Miss Shaw, you’re truly impressive. In such a short time, you managed to captivate both Tyler
and Lincoln. One disregards his own injuries, while the other uses all sorts of schemes and methods…
They can’t even stand to see you hurt, yet both manage to stay patient until now… They’re both willing
to go to great lengths to have you.”
Vicky’s eyes narrowed. “Seeing me captured and beaten?” Comment by Be Ash: Pardon if I missed
it…but I didn’t see any reference to ‘captured and beaten’, though I do see ‘hurt ‘? Comment by Lam
Venise: As in captured by Valencia’s men and beaten by Valencia. Comment by Be Ash: So perhaps
‘Did you see me captured and beaten’ is better?
Because the way Vicky said it here, it looks like she repeated what Avery said, but Avery didn’t
tantly mention anything about seeing Vicky being captured and beaten. Comment by Lam Venise: I
see where you areing. I think it’s best to edit Avery’s words to “they can’t stand seeing you
captured and beaten” because I think it’s more important to the plot that Avery let it slip.
Avery changed the subject and said, “I wonder which of the Hart brothers you are interested in? Or…do
you want them both?”
Vicky ignored the sarcasm in her voice and said, “You and Tyler saw everything that happened earlier,
didn’t you?”
Vicky recalled that not long ago, she and Aurora had seen
Avery chatting with Tyler.
Shortly after, Aurora had to leave for something.
Vicky apanied Aurora to the door and then returned-a round trip that took about half an hour.
‘So, has Avery been with Tyler all this time and witnessed Valencia’s men capturing and beating me?’
Vicky thought.
However, Avery was denying it. ”1 don’t understand what you mean, Miss Shaw… Please don’t try to
change the subject.”
Vicky walked up to Avery, looking directly into her eyes. “Am I the one changing the subject, or are
you?”
Lincoln was Avery’s fiance, yet he showed great favor to Vicky and openly admitted that she was his
girlfriend. In theory, Avery should feel justified to confront Vicky.

However, at this moment, Avery avoided Vicky’s eyes and dared not meet them.
Vicky’s heart sank, and her tone inadvertently became more assertive. “Miss Yeager, did you see what
happened to me just now?”
Avery’s expression became somewhat flustered in the face of Vicky’s assertive tone, but soon, she
regained herposure.
“So what if I did?” Avery looked at her coldly. “You stole my fiance, and I was just watching from the
sidelines. That alone can be considered benevolent. Do you expect me to save you?”
