Ch. 1581..1590

Loving You In Secret Chapter 1581-The news reporter feigned surprise. "Ms. Shaw, what's with all these marks on your neck? May I know if you're single now?"

Vicky paled and snatched the scarf from the reporter's hands. "No comment."

"Are you feeling guilty?" The female reporter stared at her with contempt and grabbed a cup of drink to splash it on Vicky's face. "You shameless homewrecker! Stop acting all innocent!"

Suddenly, an intimidating gaze landed on Vicky, and she instinctively turned to look over.

A tall, elegant man stood in the distance and watched as chaos erupted. His expression was cold, his gaze unwavering.

Vicky's eyes lit up when she saw Tyler, but he simply looked away as though he did not see her at all.

The reporters followed Vicky's line of gaze and spotted Tyler as well.

"Hey, isn't that Tyler Hart and Avery Yeager?"

"They’re here too?"

"Do you think this wicked woman threatened them and made them come here to negotiate terms?" someone exclaimed before abandoning Vicky and rushing to Tyler's side.

Tyler glanced casually at the approaching reporters.

With just one glance, the reporters' footsteps halted. They dared not come any closer.

A bold journalist could not help but ask, "Mister Hart, may I ask what your relationship with Ms. Shaw is?"

Tyler's gaze was as cold as ice, his tone icy. "We have nothing to do with each other."

The crowd did not expect that he would answer this question, and the reporters exchanged excited glances.

Tyler publicly denied any relationship with Vicky, which meant Vicky could not escape labels like 'mistress' or' homewrecker1 no matter how successful she would become, she would forever be the object of scorn and insults, unable to clear her name.

The reporters once again turned their scrutiny on Vicky, directing even more piercing and offensive questions at her.

"Ms. Shaw, Mister Hart has publicly admitted that he has nothing to do with you. Can you explain why you were in Mister Hart's room? Are you not aware that this is immoral behavior?"

"Ms. Shaw, can you confirm if you willingly descended into this situation, disregarding all morality, just to climb your way into the Hart family?"

"It's said that you lack a prestigious background, and compared to Mister Hart's fiancee, Miss Avery Yeager, you

don't match in terms of temperament and upbringing. What gives you the right to cling to Mister Hart? Have you truly sacrificed all dignity for power and status?"

"Could those marks on your neck be from some random guy? Is your personal life really this chaotic?"

"You've forsaken everything for money. How despicable..."

The reporters rudely shoved and jostled Vicky, their eyes filled with disdainful glances.

Vicky's mind went blank as she listened to the accusations and insults from everyone.

She did not know who pushed her, but she fell to the ground. At that moment, she felt a loud pang in her chest.

Loving You In Secret Chapter 1582-Vicky touched the corner of her eyes and realized she did not shed a tear, despite the reporters' verbal and even physical attacks.

Avery watched as the scene unfolded with pleasure. She took in Vicky's disoriented state.

She already imagined Vicky becoming the talk of the city and the subject of all condemnation.

However, amid her excitement, she sensed something was amiss.

She looked up to study the man next to her, only to find him staring at Vicky unblinkingly.

His lips were pursed, and his breath was ragged as though he was trying to suppress his anger.

Avery's heart sank.

Suddenly, he started walking toward Vicky.

"Tyler..." Avery wanted to catch up, but she saw Tyler suddenly stop.

A flicker crossed Avery's brow, and she turned her head to look. Then, she spotted a tall, handsome man who appeared out of nowhere, pushing the reporters surrounding Vicky aside.

The reporters were initially stunned, but when they had a clearer look at the newcomer's face, their eyes widened in astonishment.

"It's Harvey Sparks!"

The reporters surged forward once again like leeches.

"Mister Sparks, what is your relationship with Ms. Shaw?"

Harvey helped Vicky up from the ground, and his typical carefree demeanor was gone. "Vicky, are you okay?"

"Yeah..."

Vicky was covered in sticky beverage and dirt from her fall, her hair disheveled from the jostling.

Harvey took out a white handkerchief and gently wiped Vicky's face.

The reporters closed in. "Mister Sparks, can you tell us-"

Harvey raised his head, his captivating eyes fierce. "Are you conducting an interview or participating in a brawl?"

"Ms. Shaw fell on her own!"

"Yes, yes, she deliberately fell to gain men's sympathy!"

Harvey coldly glared at them and smirked. "What have all of you done to Vicky? The surveillance cameras here must've recorded everything. I will provide this footage to the police, and I will investigate who pushed Vicky and what covert actions were taken."

As a person of high standing, Harvey naturally exuded an imposing aura. With his current power and status, very few dared to show disrespect toward him.

The reporters who treated Vicky so harshly dared not to treat Harvey the same way.

"Mister Sparks, can you explain your relationship with Ms. Shaw?"

Harvey seemed to be quite protective of Vicky. If he explained that they were friends, it would not make sense.

Harvey responded calmly, "Vicky is my fiancee. Is there a problem?"

A wave of commotion swept through the crowd.

"Mister Sparks, may we ask why your fiancee was in the same room as Mister Tyler Hart?"

Harvey indifferently explained, "Vicky also helped me back to my room when I was drunk that same night. Why are you so focused on Vicky entering Mister Hart's room and conveniently forgetting that I was with her before that?"

The crowd exchanged confused glances, unable to answer.

Loving You In Secret Chapter 1583-The reporters only received information that Vicky and Tyler were in the same room, but no one knew what happened.

"Vicky sent me to my room and ran into Mister Hart, who had too much to drink at the time. Because of my connection with Mister Hart, she couldn't walk away. She asked him about it and realized he felt ill, so she helped him back to his room," Harvey continued.

He glanced at Tyler and said, "Setting aside whether Vicky attempted to seduce Mister Hart, Mister Hart and his fiancee have been through so much and emerged as the strongest couple we've ever known. Why would a man like him cheat on his fiancee? If he was truly seduced by Vicky, that would mean he cheated. Wouldn't that make his engagement to Miss Yeager...a joke? If that is the case, Miss Yeager-known to be a prideful noble lady-could never stand by Mister Hart's side so calmly. I suppose she would've ended the engagement if Vicky and Mister Hart had slept together."

All the reporters instantly turned their attention to Avery.

Avery stood by Tyler's side, holding onto his arm.

Harvey's voice was deep and magnetic as he continued," While the Sparks may be slightly inferior to the Harts, Mister Hart already has an affectionate fiancee. How stupid must Vicky be to not choose to be the lawful wife and instead opt for being the mistress of a soon-to-be-married man?"

All eyes turned to Harvey once again.

Compared to Tyler, Harvey indeed came from a less prestigious family background. However, he was young, promising, and was considered among the top elite in Zendonia. Not to mention, he was very good-looking, too. Marrying into the Sparks family would grant one a life of opulence and wealth that few could envy.

The difference in material wealth would not be significant when it came to marrying into the Hart family or the Sparks family. Compared to being a mistress who would be subjected to public condemnation and scorn, it seemed odd for one to choose to be a mistress. Vicky did not need to forsake Harvey to entice Tyler.

The reporters fell silent.

Harvey looked at Avery and smiled. "Miss Yeager, you believe that your fiance has been faithful, correct?"

Avery's expression darkened. "Well...yes."

'Mister Hart, these people must be wrong about you spending the night with Vicky, correct?" Harvey turned his gaze toward Tyler.

Tyler's gaze was coldly calm.

Not a single soul on earth would admit to infidelity in public, so Tyler said, "Naturally."

Harvey smiled gently. "The misunderstanding has been resolved now. Does anyone still have any questions?"

The scene fell into complete silence.

"Do I need to contact Sebastian and Alex individually to corroborate your stories?"

No one spoke.

"Any more questions?" Harvey looked around. "If not, may we leave?"

Most of those present came in the hope of discovering the dark secrets of elite society, but with the situation reversed, no one dared to protest.

Harvey nodded and led Vicky away. When Vicky fell earlier, she had twisted her ankle, and Harvey noticed her difficulty in walking, so he lifted her in his arms.

After a moment, the two disappeared from the sight of the crowd.

Vicky kept her head lowered the entire time, not uttering another word.

The scandal was quickly clarified.

Avery was so furious that she smashed everything in the room to pieces.

"You rat!" Avery Yeager snarled through clenched teeth." You got lucky this time!"

Loving You In Secret Chapter 1584-When Avery saw the marks on Vicky's neck, it was not difficult to figure out that Tyler must have left abruptly to see Vicky.

The thought of that filled her heart with jealousy.

She wanted to use this opportunity to destroy Vicky's reputation, but Harvey's unexpected appearance ruined her entire scheme.

"No. This can't go on!" she mumbled frantically to herself.

There were bound to be flaws with hypnosis, and it was evident that Tyler still harbored feelings toward Vicky.

She thought back to how Tyler refused to touch her ever since the video of her with another man was publicized at their wedding. 1

'If that's the case...' She thought and narrowed her eyes viciously. 'If Vicky was to be seen sleeping with another man, Tyler would never touch that trash again!'

At this moment, Avery desperately wished she could arrange a few beggars to capture Vicky, but she was well aware that the public could not be easily fooled.

News of Vicky's affair with an ordinary man would carry low credibility. After all, who would willingly give up a young and handsome man like Harvey, only to sleep with anyone ordinary?

A brilliant idea formed in Avery's mind. She picked up her phone and dialed a number. "Lincoln, when will you have time to come to Stoneford City?"

"Huh?" Lincoln was surprised by Avery's sudden goodwill." Miss Yeager, are you considering my proposal?"

"That's right." Avery's tone was casual. "But before that, you have to do something for me."

"What is it?"

"Come to Stoneford City, and we'll talk in person."

There was a few seconds of contemplation on the other end before Lincoln readily agreed. "Alright."

After hanging up the phone, Avery smirked sinisterly.

Tyler detested Lincoln above all, and if Lincoln was found sleeping with Vicky, Tyler would never touch Vicky again.

Even if Tyler regained his memory, there would be no chance of reconciliation with Vicky.

Lincoln's appearance and status rivaled that of Harvey's, so it would be convincing if the public was told that Vicky cheated on Harvey with Lincoln.

This would kill two birds with one stone; it would ruin Vicky’s reputation and make Tyler detest her.

A hint of a sinister gleam flickered in Avery's eyes as she picked up her phone and dialed another number.

Harvey drove Vicky home. Vicky remained motionless and showed no reaction the entire ride.

Upon arrival, Harvey lifted Vicky out of the car and knocked on the door of her house.

Aurora, who had been waiting for a while, was shocked by Vicky's disheveled appearance. "What happened?! How did Vicky end up like this?"

Harvey briefly recounted the events to Aurora, who sighed in relief. "Thank goodness you arrived in time. Otherwise..." Her voice faltered, and a trace of disgust flickered in her eyes. "Tyler and Avery truly went too far!"

When Vicky first left the building to meet Avery, Aurora saw the news that had been exposed online.

Loving You In Secret Chapter 1585-As Aurora expected, Avery had another trick up her sleeve.

"Could you please prepare a bath for Vicky and help her clean up?" Harvey asked.

Aurora looked at Harvey with conflicting emotions in her eyes, then nodded. "Alright."

Hot steam filled the bathroom, and Aurora gazed at Vicky, who sat silently in the bathtub.

There were times when Aurora opened her mouth to say something, but she stopped as she was unsure of how to begin.

Though Aurora was not there in person, Vicky's disheveled state indicated she had experienced something traumatic.

Looking at the bruises and marks on Vicky's body, Aurora's resentment toward Tyler grew stronger.

"Vicky." Aurora hesitated before speaking, "Have you considered...giving Harvey a chance?" Her voice was gentle.

"Harvey has a strong foundation in Stoneford City. Even Tyler won't easily be able to shake the foundation of the Sparks family. Harvey announced your engagement publicly, so maybe...you should consider giving him a chance."

Vicky finally responded, "I'm a divorced woman. Harvey can find a better woman."

"Vicky, if Harvey wanted to find someone else, he wouldn't have stayed single for so many years. Over the past years, his efforts in his career weren't just for himself but for you as well." Aurora fixed her gaze on Vicky's eyes. "He once said that he didn't want history to repeat itself, where his lack of strength allowed you to be taken away from him. I refuse to believe that you feel nothing toward him."

Vicky fell silent again.

Aurora continued, "I know that you haven't accepted anyone else because you still haven't forgotten Tyler over these four years, but Tyler isn't the same person he used to be. He..."

However much Aurora resented Tyler, she could not bring herself to speak ill of him in front of Vicky. After all, Vicky still loved him.

"I know he's not the same person anymore," Vicky said helplessly. "Ever since I made my choice, I've foreseen this outcome, but I don't blame him at all. I'm just sad..." Her eyes reddened, but there were no tears in them. "Forget it." She said softly, "You're right. I should move on."

After changing back into her clothes and stepping out of the bathroom, Vicky's emotions had settled. Harvey had not left; he was sitting on the couch in the living room.

When she emerged, Harvey Sparks stood up. "Vicky, are you okay?"

Vicky nodded at Harvey. "I'm fine now. About today... Thank you."

Harvey gave a faint smile. No need to be so polite with me."

Aurora looked at Harvey and asked, "You've become the hero who saved the damsel in distress and announced the good news. It's trending on social media. How do you plan to handle this?"

There were generally two ways to handle this kind of situation. The first was to ignore it, not respond, and let it fade away with time. The second was to officially confirm the news.

What happened to Vicky was clearly orchestrated, and with so many eyes on her, it was hard to simply let time handle it.

Harvey turned to look at Vicky intently and asked, "What do you think, Vicky?"

After a few moments of silence, she looked up to meet his eyes. "Let's give this a try, Harvey."

Stunned, Harvey doubted what he heard for a moment." Vicky, what did you say?"

Aurora chuckled. "Harvey, Vicky said that she wants to give dating you a try. Think about it and-"

Harvey snapped out of it and interrupted her. "I don't need to think about it." He fixed his gaze on Vicky's face, his eyes filled with indescribable joy. "Let's give this a try, Vicky."

Loving You In Secret Chapter 1586-Meanwhile, in Tyler's office at Hart Corporation...

"Tyler, you really intend to hand over all three of Hart Corporation's critical projects to Avery Corporation?" Orion sat on the couch, his disbelief evident.

"The contract has already been signed," Tyler said.

Valencia's breath caught in her throat upon hearing this." You've already signed the contract? Tyler, how could you be so naive?! The Yeagers' interest in these three joint projects is not so innocent! They want to control you and gain power over the Hart family!"

Tyler's voice remained calm. "That won't happen. Avery isn't that type of person, I trust her."

"She's already cheated on you, and you still trust her?!"

Orion's heart ached as he looked at Tyler, and he spoke with frustration, "I urged you to break off the engagement, but you wouldn't listen. You kept saying you believed in her.

Now, this venomous woman is scheming to manipulate our entire family!"

Tyler furrowed his brow slightly. "Father, Avery is my fiancee. I won't allow you to speak of her like that."

Seeing how stubborn Tyler was, Orion's expression turned cold. "One who aspires to achieve great things shouldn’t be ensnared by romantic feelings. You are the head of the Hart family now. How can you abandon principles for the sake of a woman? Tyler, your mother and I have selected other suitable marriage partners for you. Find an appropriate time and break off the engagement with Avery."

"Father, Avery has been with me for four years. Without her and the Yeager family, I wouldn't be who I am today." Tyler's voice was as clear and pleasant as he said, "No matter what mistakes she may have made, I won't abandon her."

Valencia looked at Tyler. "Tyler, do you have to be with Avery Yeager?"

"Yes."

Valencia and Orion exchanged a knowing glance.

A few seconds later, Valencia pulled a document from her briefcase.

"Since you're so fond of Avery, I won't make you dump her. However, you need to understand that this can affect the future of the family. Here is a document for the transfer of shares. To prevent any unexpected events, you'll temporarily transfer your shares to Lincoln. That way, even if the Yeager family tries anything, our family will still have a chance to turn the situation around." Valencia's voice slowed down as she appealed to Tyler's emotions. "You and Lincoln are both my sons. We are a family, so you must know that your father and I would never deceive you."

After being hypnotized, Tyler forgot about Vicky and, along with that, the tormenting past. When he returned to the Hart family, his relationship with his parents improved and was not as strained as it was in the past.

Upon learning that Tyler had handed over all three significant family projects to the Yeagers, Orion and Valencia flew from Molivia to Zendonia overnight as they were deeply concerned.

Tyler glanced at the contract brought by Valencia and said," Four years ago, I was shot. Three years ago, a deadly poison was found in my food. Two years ago, the car that I drove most of the time exploded, and one year ago..."

Valencia and Orion paled slightly.

"Tyler, why are you mentioning these things all of a sudden? We looked into it and found that they were all accidents, right?"

"They were indeed accidents," he said calmly. "Orchestrated ones, that is." He looked up to face Orion and Valencia. "Do you two know who was behind all these 'accidents'?"

Valencia smiled forcibly. "Tyler, have you...found something?

Loving You In Secret Chapter 1587-"The culprit always seemed to be able to know my whereabouts everytime I went somewhere. The probability of this being an inside job within our Hart family is quite high. " Tyler looked at his parents with a small smile as he looked at them ominously. "Who could harbor such deep-seated hatred against me?"

"Tyler, you have become the enemy of a lot of members of our family by taking control of the Hart family's power. Many would want to get rid of you," Orion explained.

Tyler leaned back. "According to my investigation, however, those who attempted to assassinate me did so under Lincoln's command."

Valencia's gaze flickered for a moment before she said, " Someone is framing Lincoln! Their goal is to turn you two against each other, and they'd reap the benefits while you fight."

Orion nodded in agreement. "Yes, that seems likely."

"I haven't investigated this matter thoroughly yet. I'm not sure whether it's a setup for now." Tyler closed the file in front of him. "Before we learn the truth, please take this document back."

Valencia and Orion left the office with stern expressions.

Once they were out of the office, Orion could not hold back his anger. "Tyler has changed ever since the wedding. While he wasn't as dutiful as Lincoln over the years, Tyler was always respectful to us!"

"That weasel Avery must've instigated this!" Valencia's eyes narrowed angrily. "Tyler's former wife was Tyler's first love, so I can understand his infatuation toward her. But what about Avery?"

Recalling the disdainful attitude Avery exhibited when they last met, Valencia grew even more disgusted. "That girl thinks she's better than me! Does she really believe Tyler can't live without her?"

Orion looked at Valencia. "It does seem like Tyler can't live without her."

"That's because Tyler hasn't seen that woman's true face!" Valencia grew angrier as she spoke, "Even Tyler's former wife wouldn't dare act as arrogantly as she does!"

Before Valencia could continue, the office door suddenly swung open and Tyler appeared in the doorway. "Former wife?"

Valencia and Orion were both startled. "T-Tyler...?"

Tyler looked at the two. "What do you mean by 'former wife'?

At noon, Avery arrived at the Hart Corporation building after learning that Valencia and Orion had been there in the morning.

She had not been able to establish a bond with Valencia in the past years.

Two years ago, she once overheard Valencia trying to talk Tyler into canceling the engagement with her and even went as far as to introduce other women to Tyler.

Avery had always known Valencia only chose to work with her back then to plan for Lincoln's future, but she was still furious when she heard Valencia calling her despicable and shameless.

Thankfully, Tyler was far more capable than Lincoln and managed to take control of the family in only four years.

Because of that, Avery's status in the Hart family rose with his.

Though she was rather worried that Tyler might cast her aside after he became the official head of the family, she had tricks up her sleeve to ensure Tyler would not betray her.

She knocked on the door to Tyler's office, but there was no response.

Loving You In Secret Chapter 1588-Avery had checked Tyler’s schedule and knew he would not be leaving the premises. If he was not in his office, he had to be in a meeting.

Avery inputted her fingerprint and opened the door to his office, deciding to wait for Tyler's return.

The ability to come and go from the Hart estate as well as Tyler's office felt empowering to her, and she prided herself on it.

Yesterday, Avery had been restless ever since Harvey came to Vicky's rescue.

For a man as intelligent as Tyler, he should have been able to deduce that those journalists were there at her bidding to humiliate Vicky. Moreover, Tyler had shown a genuine intention to rescue her when it happened at the time, which confirmed Avery's earlier belief that Tyler saw Vicky differently.

Avery thought Tyler would question her about it afterward, but he did not. He had not even mentioned Vicky's name and proceeded to drop Avery off at home. He did not even show any trace of anger or suspicion.

Avery gradually began to calm down and allowed herself to believe that Vicky was, after all, nothing more than a tool for Tyler's pleasure.

Avery felt a lot more at ease with such thought in mind.

Entering Tyler's office, she stood by the window and watched the bustling traffic outside.

The Hart Corporation office building was situated in the heart of the city, and the scenery held a unique charm from this point of view.

'It's no wonder that Tyler often likes standing here,' she mused to herself.

Eventually, she grew bored of it and returned to the couch.

On the coffee table in front of the couch was a stack of documents.

At first, Avery did not pay much attention to them and carefully moved the files to avoid spilling water on them as she poured herself a glass. As she did, however, a photograph slipped out from among the files.

Avery paused, and her eyes widened.

Opening the document, Avery was shocked to find that it contained information about Vicky.

Simultaneously, she discovered marriage and divorce certificates in the stack of files and realized Tyler...had found out that Vicky was his ex-wife.

An ominous feeling took over her, and she hastily started looking through the investigative materials.

Eventually, she relaxed slightly as she read.

All the investigation all pointed to the knowledge that Tyler had once married Vicky, but it was merely a marriage of convenience and they had never met according to the records. Because of that, Tyler did not even know what his ex-wife looked like.

It seemed as though Old Mister Hart had erased the past and Tyler could no longer find out the truth.

Still, this was enough to fill Avery's heart with fear.

If she allowed the situation to escalate, Tyler might begin to suspect everything he was told. She realized that she needed to move her plan ahead of time.

She closed the documents and placed them back where she found them before leaving Hart Corporation in a rush.

Loving You In Secret Chapter 1589-Half an hour later, Tyler returned from his meeting.

He set the documents in his hand down on the desk and glanced at the documents lying on the coffee table. He narrowed his eyes.

Meanwhile, Harvey and Vicky discussed announcing their engagement, but the group chat was as lively as ever.

[You two definitely took us by surprise! You literally skipped dating and went straight for engagement. Impressive!] Noah typed.

Aurora retorted, [What do you know? Vicky and Harvey were engaged once, and that counts as dating. They've known each other for years, so it shouldn’t be an issue even if they get married right away.]

[When will the engagement party be?] Jennifer asked.

Cece commented, [I agree that they can just get married right away.]

Harvey read all the messages and replied, [We haven't started planning the wedding, so it's too rushed to get married now. We will get engaged first and get to the wedding part once everything is in place.]

[Vicky, I want to be your bridesmaid!] Aurora typed.

[Me too!] Cece seconded.

[Me three!] Jennifer added.

While playing with his cat, Noah registered the excitement among the others and was reminded of the trending news a few days ago. Even though the news was quickly removed, he had seen what he needed to see and concluded that the engagement between Vicky and Harvey was connected to the incident a few days back.

Noah could not help but type, [Aren't you all getting ahead of yourself?]

Aurora responded with annoyance, [What do you mean, Noah? Are you not happy about Vicky's engagement?]

Noah quipped, [I'm happy, duh. But don’t you think a major step like marriage should be thoroughly prepared?]

A few seconds later, Aurora's phone rang, and it was a call from Noah.

"Noah, what are you implying? Everyone's happy, yet you're out there being a cold blanket," Aurora questioned.

"I'm not trying to rain on Vicky's parade. I just think you guys are getting ahead of yourselves. What if they don't end up getting engaged? Think about how awkward it'll be for Harvey. We should leave some room for that possibility."

Aurora retorted, "You pessimist! What nonsense are you spewing? Why can't Vicky get engaged?"

No. Did you forget something, Miss Yeager? Tyler is in

Stoneford City. According to your theory, Vicky got engaged to Harvey to escape Tyler's pursuit. Do you think Tyler can just watch Vicky get engaged to someone else?"

"Why not? That scoundrel would rather accept being cheated on than cancel the engagement. Maybe he would be excited about Vicky's engagement and even find it thrilling."

For a moment, Noah was a bit lost for words.

Aurora continued, "I know what you're concerned about, but Harvey isn't a pushover now. Tyler won't be able to manipulate him that easily. Vicky has finally made up her mind to move on from Tyler, so don't spread negative vibes in the group."

"It's not that I'm being negative. I just think that...Tyler's sudden return to Stoneford City is odd, and it's even weirder that he came for Vicky immediately. What if he remembers something and you're pushing Vicky into digging her grave?"

Aurora's voice faltered. "What do you mean?"

"It's all good now because he doesn't remember, but what if he remembers something? We're all Vicky's friends, so our perspective is obviously biased toward her, but you need to take into consideration the circumstances." i

"So...?"

"With Tyler’s temperament... If he remembers the past, who knows what he might do out of resentment?" Noah paused." You should know how terrible it is when love turns into resentment. People like that usually destroy things they

can't have. At this point, advising Vicky to be with Harvey right now would be like making her sign her death warrant."

Aurora knew how terrifying Tyler's wrath could be, and her confidence wavered. "B-But... Vicky said she couldn't see any signs of him remembering anything. Besides, if he remembered something, wouldn't he have kidnapped Vicky and locked her up by now?" she stammered.

"Perhaps he remembers some things but not everything. What if he's testing Vicky?" Noah challenged.

Aurora mumbled, "Does that involve dragging her into his bed?"

Loving You In Secret Chapter 1590-A thought crossed Aurora's mind as she said, angered," Vicky stuck to Tyler's side the whole time he was sick, yet he couldn't control himself and hurt her every d*mn time. Has she ever complained? She would've never given up if there was another option. There was once when Vicky got drunk and she let it slip that Tyler was mutilating himself. What else was she supposed to do?"

Noah sighed. "They both have their reasons for doing things."

Aurora was becoming increasingly agitated. "Tyler is successful now and has a rich fiancee. But when he finds out that his fiancee cheated on him, he decides to take it out on Vicky. That's just so wrong. Besides, no one knows just what horrible fate awaited Vicky if Harvey didn't get to her in time on the day she was confronted by the reporters. Why would the reporters be there in the restaurant if no one tipped them off?"

Aurora scoffed. "Tyler called those reporters there to insult Vicky—it must be! I heard that the questions raised by those reporters were so confrontational that they kept calling Vicky an immoral homewrecker. Not one person condemned Tyler for cheating. If it weren't for that accident, Vicky wouldn't be engaged to Harvey. In a way, it was Tyler who brought them together."

Noah was not sure how to respond after hearing this.

Indeed, this incident had been the turning point that led

Vicky to choose Harvey. Judging from Aurora's words, it was clear that Vicky had attributed the cause of this incident to Tyler. If that was truly the case, Tyler had not acted very honorably.

The joint announcement of Vicky and Harvey's engagement immediately sparked a new round of discussions.

The news about Vicky being a mistress was completely debunked.

Over the years, Harvey's popularity had risen significantly. His impressive wealth, striking looks, and enigmatic aura had captivated numerous women. However, despite his popularity, Harvey remained single for all these years and had not even been rumored to be dating anyone.

There were rumors that Harvey once had an unrequited love -a woman who saved his life in his early years-but she did not return his affection, which led to him remaining single.

There were also stories of Harvey being engaged once, only for the engagement to end disastrously due to his exfiancee’s actions. After that, he became traumatized by the idea of marriage and focused solely on his career.

The truth behind these rumors was a mix of fact and fiction.

Still, these speculations and rumors did not affect the preparations for Vicky and Harvey's engagement.

One day, Harvey called Vicky to pick out an engagement ring.

They went to a jewelry store, and Harvey said to Vicky, "The engagement timeline is a bit tight this time. Designing and crafting the ring will take some time, and we might not have enough time for customizations. Let's get a dedicated pair of wedding rings once we're married."

Vicky did not object and simply nodded. "Alright."

Back when they were initially engaged, Vicky and Harvey did not share any emotional connection, so their assistants handled the preparations and the rings. However, things were different the second time around, and Harvey wanted to personally choose the wedding band.

As they entered the jewelry store, an enthusiastic attendant welcomed them. "Good day. What type of rings are you interested in?"

"We're looking for engagement rings," Vicky said.

"Please follow me this way."

Vicky and Harvey caught the attention of the perceptive attendant with their elegance, so the attendant led them to the upscale jewelry section.
