Chapter 855: Chapter 857

“I’m sure you’ve heard about that lady from the Yeager family. The press exposed her for partying with

men in a club at night. The Harts cannot accept such an indecent woman, and the cancellation of the

engagement is inevitable…”

“Let’s discuss that later, Aunty,” Aria said.

“Consider it, Aria. Lincoln isn’t that bad and is comparable to Tyler. Many ladies can only dream of

marrying him…”

Valencia wanted to continue but was interrupted by Missus Everly. “Missus Hart, Vicky has hurt my

Aria, so you can’t spare her. Make sure that Tyler doesn’t know you are punishing her because of Aria,

though, or he’ll blame Aria for it.”

Seeing how both Aria and Missus Everly preferred Tyler, Valencia sighed inwardly and did not continue

to praise Lincoln. She chuckled and said, “Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. Tyler won’t be able to

blame anyone. I’m only teaching Vicky manners as I did back then. Since she claims to have lost her

memories, it’s her duty as a part of our family to retake those lessons.”

Missus Everly nodded. “Aria and I will take our leave, then.”

Valencia bid the two farewell with a smile on her face.

As soon as they stepped out of the hall, the smile on Missus Everly’s face disappeared. “Vicky is

appalling, and Valencia is no better,” she said coldly. “Back when you still had the birthmark on your

face, she was reluctant to get involved with you and refused to agree to the engagement between you

and Lincoln no matter what. Now that your birthmark is gone, she starts dreaming of marrying her son

to you because you’re the only daughter we have… How shameless!”

Aria smiled. “Missus Hart values her adoptive son more than her actual son to the point that she’d try to

undermine her biological son’s interest. That’s a first.”

“She was the one who played favoritism and screwed up her relationship with her son, yet she blamed

it all on Vicky Shaw…” Missus Everly scoffed. “Vicky might not be an honorable lady, but Valencia is

worse. I guess they do belong to the same family, after all.” She paused and looked at Aria. “Aria, why

don’t we just forget about this marriage arrangement with the Harts? Tyler is already married, and the

Harts favor Lincoln… They’re practically a mess. Valencia might even force her son to give up on the

company share and hand it over to her adoptive son.”

“It’s fine. With the Everlys’ support, no one can ever bully Tyler.”

“But he is married and still hasn’t divorced…” Missus Everly said hesitantly.

“Mom.” Aria interrupted her. “Do you know why I am dead set on marrying Tyler?”

“I know. He was the only one who didn’t look down on you after seeing the birthmark on your face and

was even willing to help you.”

Aria stared at her mother solemnly and said, “So please don’t try to talk me out of this again. Tyler is

mine, and I’ll never give up even if he’s married and has children.”

Missus Everly shook her head in resignation.

Meanwhile, Vicky ran with Cece through the fire escape.

Cece studied the serious look on Vicky’s face in confusion. “Vicky, what’s wrong?”

“I’m afraid Missus Hart bears evil intentions.”

Just then, they both heard footsteps approaching.
