Loving You In Secret (Vicky and Tyler) novel Chapter 1684

"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 legally married to Lincoln. If Tyler refuses to marry you, you'll have an escape route."

Given Avery's reputation, it was impossible for her to find a husband with an illegitimate child and would not be able to remarry if she divorced Lincoln.

Avery looked defiant. "I don't want Lincoln as a fallback! He doesn't deserve me!"

Alana switched her approach. "If Tyler won't marry you and you have this child, you can still stay with the Hart family. Lincoln and Tyler are brothers, and you'll have the opportunity to get close to Tyler. If you get rid of this child, how will you approach him?"

Avery wavered at the thought. "But if I give birth to someone else's child, Tyler will never want me again..."
