“At that time, Tyler had his own business, so he didn’t want to come back to the family. Meanwhile, Igradually grew my influence patiently over the years. My grandfather didn’t want the family business toend up in the hands of an outsider, so he came up with a plan.”

Lincoln’s eyes darkened. “His plan was to put me in a fight against Tyler. He’s the biological son of myparents, so that makes him the rightful heir. With his capabilities, he could easily dethrone me with mygrandfather’s help if he wanted to. However, he didn’t want to return to the family, nor did he want tofight me for the inheritance.”

After a pause, he added, “Vicky, everyone thought I was the one who wanted to stop Tyler from comingback for fear of him taking over. However, in all my years of growing up under this roof, I’ve beenpreparing and gathering power, so even if he’s the biological son of my parents, it would still be verydifficult for him to replace me, right?”

Vicky gave a light nod.

Lincoln continued to say, “So, why should I care whether he comes back or not if he can’t win againstme? Besides, he was the one who didn’t want to come back. Nevertheless, my grandfather found outabout your existence and decided to use you to drive a wedge between me and Tyler. He evenarranged for someone to deliberately spread the news to Tyler, claiming that I wanted to hurt you.

“To be honest, I wouldn’t even have known of your existence if my grandfather hadn’t done that. You’veregained your memory, right? So, you should know that we’ve never ever met before this. After that,Tyler got really angry. He barged into this house and beat me up. His actions after that infuriated ourfamily. Everyone thought he acted too rashly and that he should have thought it through before doingsomething like that.”

Lincoln suddenly smiled subtly. “However, what they didn’t know was Tyler did all that on purpose.”

Vicky was rather shocked. “He did all that on purpose?”

“How would he be able to cut ties with our family if he didn’t make them angry?”

Vicky immediately knew what he was getting at.

“So, what you’re saying is…”

Lincoln nodded, sighed, then said, “He used me and hurt me. So, it was only fair that I returned thefavor.”

Vicky’s eyes flickered. “Then why did you let me marry him in the first place?”

Lincoln looked at her. “He must break up with you if he wants to return to the family because neither ofyour statuses don’t match. He would have to marry someone who comes from a powerful family for himto dethrone me.

“Vicky, I’m no saint. All these years, I’ve given everything to the family, so I won’t let him waltz in hereand take

everything away from me. Letting you marry him was just a stopgap measure to buy me some time.

“Now that I’m powerful enough, I don’t have to worry about him coming back to dethrone me. However,I want you to know that I don’t really hate him. It’s just that it’s best for me to keep a close eye on him,so I hope you can understand.”

Vicky was about to say something when her phone suddenly rang. She was still trying to digesteverything Lincoln told her, so she did not pay attention to who was calling.

As soon as she answered the call, a man’s cold and glum voice said, “Vicky, stay away from Lincoln.”
