Ava and Cece were quite close with each other, but Aurora did not know that. She was worried that Ava would be undependable and flaky like Noah."Don't worry. I go way back with Ava, and she's always been quite dependable in our friendship," said Vicky.Aurora was relieved to hear that.…The next day, Vicky got into the car with her bridal party watching her after she put on her wedding dress and makeup.For some reason, her right eyelid had been twitching ever since she left the house.Aurora sensed something was off with Vicky. "Vicky, what's the matter? You don't look so well. Are you feeling sick?" she asked."I don't know why, but I keep feeling like I can't breathe," replied Vicky with a frown."Is it because you're too nervous?"Vicky shook her head. "No."Aurora cracked open the window. "Maybe it's because it feels a little stuffy here. Is this better?"She did not roll down the window all the way down to prevent Vicky's makeup from getting messed up by the wind.V
"Okay, then. See you later."After Vicky ended the call, she waited with her friends until it was time to go into the hall.Cece's eyes never left her watch. When the clock struck the time Vicky was supposed to go in, Cece said hurriedly, "It's time! It's time! Vicky, you have to go in now."Ava and Jennifer slowly opened the double door.However, Aurora's phone suddenly rang at that moment. She took out her phone and was stunned to see Noah's name flashing on the screen.Vicky entered the door slowly while Aurora answered her phone."Is that crazy b*tch here?" Aurora's first thought was Avery had come to crash the wedding. "Vicky's already walking into the hall, so you have to stop Avery no matter what! She can kick up a fuss and humiliate herself however she wants after the wedding.""Vicky's already walking in?" repeated Noah in a panic. "Are you sure?""Yeah. What's the matter? Did you fail to stop Avery from coming in? Don't worry, I've already put up a stopgap measure in
Tyler stood at the front in his suit. He looked tall and impeccably groomed, exuding an even more striking presence than ever.He met Vicky's gaze and raised an eyebrow. "Why are you here?"His words struck her like a bolt of lightning.Vicky had considered many unexpected events that might happen at the wedding. She had entertained the possibility that Tyler might run away. He could leave during the ceremony, or he might even refuse to say his vows. However, never in her wildest dreams did she imagine that she was not the bride at this wedding at all.Looking into his deep, dark eyes, Vicky could only muster three words. "Why did you...?"Tyler feigned puzzlement. "Hm?"Vicky clenched her fist, her voice trembling with emotion. "Why did you deceive me?""Deceive you?" A faint smile played on Tyler's lips, his gaze cool and detached. "Did I ever say I'd marry you?"Her eyes widened as the fragments of their past, like scenes from a movie, raced through her mind.He had been re
Aria, who remained quiet the entire time, spoke up, "Ms. Shaw, the wedding is still ongoing. Can you please leave?"Vicky attempted to take a step forward, but for some reason, she felt rooted in place.Aria furrowed her brow lightly and assumed Vicky was being uncooperative. "If you insist on staying, I'll have to call security."Being forcibly removed by security personnel would undoubtedly be the greatest humiliation for anyone.Aurora, who realized what was happening, and the others finally rushed in. "There's no need for that." She gave Tyler a cold look. "We'll leave on our own."Jennifer, Cece, and Harvey approached to assist Vicky, preparing to take her away. However, a moment later, Vicky fainted....Darkness spread like an endless nightmare.Vicky's lashes fluttered, and she opened her eyes."Vicky? Are you awake?" a deep, magnetic voice sounded from the side, tinged with a hint of surprise.Vicky turned her head and saw a familiar face. "Harvey?"She had been cha
Anyone would struggle to remain indifferent after suffering such humiliation on their wedding day, but Vicky remained surprisingly calm."That's just who Tyler is." Vicky looked out of the window. "He's never been magnanimous and always seeks revenge whenever someone crosses him. Doing something like this doesn't come as a surprise."Turning her head, she looked at Harvey. "To be honest, I'm somewhat relieved now. I don't have to worry about how he'll view me or treat me once he regains his memory. I don't have to live in constant guilt... This is actually a good thing."Although Vicky's tone and expression appeared relaxed, Harvey knew she could not be as indifferent as she appeared to be.She never forgot Tyler even after four years had passed. When their paths crossed again, she allowed herself to believe that there were no obstacles between them and that they could finally be together, but it was all a lie.Tyler was more ruthless than she ever imagined.After careful consid
"The Hart family has launched a fierce retaliation against us, intercepting our orders at any cost. Yeager Corporation isn't doing so great either."Avery did not seem worried at all. "When it comes to losses, the Hart family must be suffering more, right?""That's one way to put it, but if we engage in this fight, both sides may end up worse off," Alana cautioned.Avery remained untroubled. "Even if we can't hold out, the Hart family will falter first. Don't worry, Mom. It won't be long before Tyler comes begging us for help."Concerned, Alana said, "Let's hope so."Avery then thought of her fetus and asked, "Mom, since this child isn't Tyler's, what do you think if I...consider getting rid of it?"Avery had no intention of having Lincoln's child. After careful consideration, she believed that given Tyler's pride, he would not want anything to do with her once he found out that she was pregnant with Lincoln's child."It's not the right time yet," Alana advised. "You're still le
Vicky instinctively patted her belly. 'This child...can't stay.'Vicky's heart ached at the thought, and she was overwhelmed by suffocating pain....A week later.The atmosphere in the Hart Corporation's conference room was tense. This meeting was not an ordinary board meeting; it was an internal meeting for the Hart family.The meeting was of utmost importance, and nearly everyone with a stake in the Hart Corporation was present. There were more people here than at the family's annual festive banquet.Old Mister Hart, who had been out of the picture for a long time, sat in the first seat on the right, listening to the discussions around him with a stern expression."What's going on this time? Is Hart Corporation's liquidity really in trouble?""I can't believe Tyler made such a foolish decision!""I think Avery has brainwashed him! He handed all our important partnerships to the Yeager family. Isn't he afraid that the Yeager family can turn on us? Now, they have leverage o
Tyler was known for being fair and never mistreated his own people. This was one of the reasons he quickly gained control of the Hart family. Moreover, he possessed real skills and intelligence.After taking over the reins of Hart Corporation, the company's decline came to an abrupt halt, and its stock prices surged. Thus, the Hart family members had a lot of trust in Tyler's abilities.They asked a few more worrisome questions, and Tyler patiently addressed each one. When they noticed how unfazed he was, their suspended anxiety gradually faded, and the meeting ended quickly.Everyone first entered the room solemnly, but as the meeting ended, everyone left the room with smiles.Old Mister Hart, who remained silent, observed the scene, feeling both relieved and resigned.Only Old Mister Hart and Tyler remained seated after everyone left.Tyler looked at Old Mister Hart and asked, "Grandfather, is there anything else you'd like to discuss?"Old Mister Hart leaned on his cane and i
