Loving You In Secret
Chapter 857

Chapter 857

“I’m sure you’ve heard about that lady from the Yeager family. The press exposed her for partying with men in a club at night. The Harts cannot accept such an indecent woman, and the cancellation of the engagement is inevitable…”

“Let’s discuss that later, Aunty,” Aria said.

“Consider it, Aria. Lincoln isn’t that bad and is comparable to Tyler. Many ladies can only dream of marrying him…”

Valencia wanted to continue but was interrupted by Missus Everly. “Missus Hart, Vicky has hurt my Aria, so you can’t spare her. Make sure that Tyler doesn’t know you are punishing her because of Aria, though, or he’ll blame Aria for it.”

Seeing how both Aria and Missus Everly preferred Tyler, Valencia sighed inwardly and did not continue to praise Lincoln. She chuckled and said, “Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. Tyler won’t be able to blame anyone. I’m only teaching Vicky manners as I did back then. Since she claims to have lost her memories, it’s her duty as a part of our family to retake those lessons.”

Missus Everly nodded. “Aria and I will take our leave, then.”

Valencia bid the two farewell with a smile on her face.

As soon as they stepped out of the hall, the smile on Missus Everly’s face disappeared. “Vicky is appalling, and Valencia is no better,” she said coldly. “Back when you still had the birthmark on your face, she was reluctant to get involved with you and refused to agree to the engagement between you and Lincoln no matter what. Now that your birthmark is gone, she starts dreaming of marrying her son to you because you’re the only daughter we have… How shameless!”

Aria smiled. “Missus Hart values her adoptive son more than her actual son to the point that she’d try to undermine her biological son’s interest. That’s a first.”

“She was the one who played favoritism and screwed up her relationship with her son, yet she blamed it all on Vicky Shaw…” Missus Everly scoffed. “Vicky might not be an honorable lady, but Valencia is worse. I guess they do belong to the same family, after all.” She paused and looked at Aria. “Aria, why don’t we just forget about this marriage arrangement with the Harts? Tyler is already married, and the Harts favor Lincoln… They’re practically a mess. Valencia might even force her son to give up on the company share and hand it over to her adoptive son.”

“It’s fine. With the Everlys’ support, no one can ever bully Tyler.”

“But he is married and still hasn’t divorced…” Missus Everly said hesitantly.

“Mom.” Aria interrupted her. “Do you know why I am dead set on marrying Tyler?”

“I know. He was the only one who didn’t look down on you after seeing the birthmark on your face and was even willing to help you.”

Aria stared at her mother solemnly and said, “So please don’t try to talk me out of this again. Tyler is mine, and I’ll never give up even if he’s married and has children.”

Missus Everly shook her head in resignation.

Meanwhile, Vicky ran with Cece through the fire escape.

Cece studied the serious look on Vicky’s face in confusion. “Vicky, what’s wrong?”

“I’m afraid Missus Hart bears evil intentions.”

Just then, they both heard footsteps approaching.
