Chapter 1643
Lincoln never expected to end up sleeping with Avery instead.
In response to Lincoln's silence, Mister Yeager said, "It's true that Avery drugged Lincoln, but no one forced him to
enter the room. It would be unreasonable to blame everything on Avery. Avery is a young lady; it's not fair for her to
lose her virtue and bear all responsibility. Old Mister Hart, you must give us something here.
"Also, words about what happened will soon spread. If Lincoln refuses to take responsibility, he'll be condemned as
a womanizer. Not only will our company be affected, but the Harts will suffer as well. The best solution we have at
the moment is for Avery and Lincoln to get married. That way, we can all salvage our reputation."

Lincoln pursed his lips and agreed reluctantly, "Fine."
"No, I won't agree to this! I won't marry you! I want to marry Tyler!" Avery screamed. She turned and looked at
Tyler, who remained silent the whole time. "Tyler, say something! Can't you say something? You should know I was
framed! We were together back then..."
Avery's tantrum was rather irksome to witness.
Old Mister Hart never wanted her to marry into the Hart
Family, not even to an adopted son of the Harts, but Avery was still a lady of the Yeager family. Moreover, he held a
strong grudge against Lincoln. Hence, he decided to let Avery bring chaos to Lincoln's life, thinking it would keep
Lincoln too occupied to plot against the Hart family.
With these thoughts in mind, Old Mister Hart stood up." Since Lincoln has agreed, let it be settled. It's getting late,
so I'll go rest now."
Lincoln knew that the matter was final and left expressionlessly.
As Mister Yeager left, he cast a glance at Tyler and Avery." Tyler, she listens to you. Help me talk some sense into
her, will you?"
Tyler responded calmly, "Sure."
Once Mister Yeager left, Avery urgently grabbed Tyler's arm." Tyler, believe me! I really don't know what
happened!"
Tyler looked at her and said, "I believe you."
Avery's expression eased slightly. "Tyler, what really happened? Weren't you in my room at that time?"

taking a shower, I decided to come back and find you afterward."
Avery's expression stiffened. "But...why was Lincoln in my room?"
"Perhaps he had something to discuss with you?"
Had she shot herself in the foot with this plan? Even at this moment, Avery's mind was in turmoil.
"Tyler, I don't want to marry Lincoln," whimpered Avery with tears in her eyes. "It's you I want!"
Tyler remained calm as he replied, "Avery, you know that after what happened today, we can't be together."
Avery wanted to argue, but her words failed her. Despite her unreasonable outburst, she understood clearly that
she had lost every opportunity to be with Tyler.
