Since Vernon was the head of the family, Alana did not dare to argue with him. She turned back and continued to pass on her wisdom to Avery.
"All a man cares about is his ego. Just let him marry whoever he wants. Otherwise, he'll just get a mistress or two after you're married to him. The one thing in this world that you shouldn't count on is a man's feelings for you.
"Even if he decides to marry Vicky today, what's not to say he won't divorce her tomorrow? So you see, it's not about Vicky. As a matter of fact, it could be any other woman. Plus, you're pregnant with his kid, so you shouldn't worry too much. There'll be plenty of opportunities for you to see him once the baby is born."
'Mom's right. Tyler will eventually be mine as long as I have the baby. I can use the baby to get closer to him!' thought Avery, feeling much better after listening to Alana.
"Thanks, Mom. I know what to do now," she said.
Alana was relieved to see her daughter feeling better.
"Avery, don't forget. Even if you don't have the baby, we still have something to hold over his head."
"Really? What is it?"
"Remember the three projects he gave us last time? Well, they're enough to cause huge damage to the Hart family. I won't be surprised if his family decides to cut ties with him!"
Only then did Avery know what her mother was talking about. A second later, she smiled evilly.
…
After the Yeagers left, everyone's attention shifted to Vicky and Tyler.
Valencia instinctively frowned when she saw Vicky.
"Tyler, what's the meaning of this? Why did you bring her here?" she asked.
