Loving You In Secret

Chapter 1530

Everyone thought Avery was Vernon's only child, but that could not be further from the truth. No one knew Vernon had a previous marriage which resulted in another daughter.

This meant Avery had an older stepsister. Even though the first marriage did not last, the fact remained that Brielle was also Vernon's legitimate daughter.

Back then, Vernon did not know his ex-wife was pregnant with Brielle when they divorced. It was only a few years ago that Brielle's mother—who was on her deathbed—told her daughter who her father was. Brielle thus went back to live with the Yeagers. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Even though Brielle was also his daughter, Vernon did not feel particularly close to her. After all, how could she be compared to Avery, whom he watched grow up from the moment she was born?

Not to mention, Avery would from time to time pull some shady sh*t to drive a wedge between Brielle and Vernon, causing their father to not want to publicly admit Brielle was his daughter as well.

Vernon looked disappointedly at Avery. “You say Brielle did this? Did she force you to have s*x with another man? I've never given her any real power in all the years she had been back, so what makes you think she could play the s*x tape during your wedding without getting caught?”

Avery suddenly felt her breath caught in her throat. It was true what Vernon said. To prevent any mishaps during the wedding, the Yeagers vetted everyone and every step of the ceremony. Brielle would never be able to do something like that under their watchful eyes.

"Brielle definitely has something to do with this!” said Avery, resolute. "She must've done it out of revenge because she mistakenly thought I was the one who caused her to lose her virginity to a stranger...”

Vernon scoffed and cut in, “Mistakenly thought? Was it all really a misunderstanding?”

Avery's face froze.

Seeing this, Alana quickly came to her defense. "It doesn't matter whether Avery is set up or not. The more important thing now is to figure out how to save the wedding. From the looks of it, the Hart family is going to call off the wedding!”

Vernon laughed coldly. “I wouldn't be surprised if they did since the Harts were known to burn bridges with the people who helped them out. But hell will freeze over before I, Vernon Yeager, let them do that to us!”

“But they have the upper hand,” argued Alana. “How can we convince them not to call off the wedding when Avery's in the wrong?”

Avery started to panic at the mention of calling off the wedding.

“Mom, no! Don't call off the wedding! I was drunk that night, so I have no idea how I ended up sleeping with that guy..."

Vernon also knew it was not the time to say who was wrong or who was right.

"What's the point of telling us all this? The only person you have to convince of your innocence is Tyler!" he said coldly.

"I did! He said he's willing to believe me just now!"

Vernon glanced at her. He did not even bother to ask whether Tyler willingly believed her or that she forced him to believe her through underhanded means.

"Even if he believes you, his family will never allow him to take a wanton woman like you to be his wife!”

That was the crux of the problem. Nothing was more important to the Hart family than their reputation, so they would never forgive the Yeager family for making them the laughingstock of the world.

"His family has no say in who he gets to marry!” whined Avery like a spoiled little child. “He'll be the head of the family someday, so everyone needs to listen to him! So as long as he's willing to go on with the wedding, no one will dare to stop him!"
