Vicky continued to stare at Avery intently. “Tyler saw it too, didn’t he?”

Avery stiffened and remained silent, which confirmed that Vicky guessed right.

In an instant, disappointment crashed over her like a tsunami, shattering the last trace of affection shehad for Tyler in her heart.

If Tyler had been indifferent and remained a bystander throughout the time she was abused byValencia, she would not have blamed him, but he instead appeared at the right moment, giving herhope and radiance so that she would be grateful toward him.

In the end, it was all a lie and a calculated manipulation on his part.

‘How is this any different from before when he trapped me by being tender and considerate beforecasting me aside?’ she thought.

These were indeed the tactics Tyler was accustomed to, and Vicky’s heart sank little by little.

Had Tyler only seen her as a means to an end and someone to exploit?

Seeing Vicky’s vacant expression, Avery seemed unwilling to continue the discussion and spoke coldly,“My engagement

with Lincoln will not be canceled, and I will be staying at this mansion for this period. I warn you to stayaway from Lincoln, or…I won’t mind showing you what I’m capable of.”

With that, Avery left the room.

Vicky stood frozen in a daze, feeling an inexplicable ache on the cheeks that Tyler had carefully treatedwith medicine; it hurt even more than when Valencia had beaten her.

Just then, Lincoln walked in and noticed the pale say or do something to trouble you?”

Vicky turned her head slowly and saw a pair of concerned eyes looking back at her. “I’m fine,” shereplied softly. “Why did you come?”

“I was worried about you, so I came to check on you.” After hesitating for a moment, Lincoln added, “Iactually wanted to come earlier, but Tyler was here, and I didn’t want him to misunderstand, so I didn’tcome right away…”

As he studied Vicky’s swollen cheeks, a hint of guilt appeared in Lincoln’s eyes. “I’m sorry I was late.”

Vicky’s scattered mind gathered at the sight of Lincoln, and she asked, “Why did you come? How didyou know about what just happened?”

Lincoln remained silent for a few moments and said, “I haven’t been able to get out and I was worriedthat Mother might come after you, so I arranged for my men to follow you and report to me if somethinggoes wrong.”

Realization dawned on Vicky. “I see. Thank you.”

“Regardless, I was still too late. I’m sorry for what you had to suffer,” he said guiltily.

Vicky shook her head and said sarcastically, “You were never the one who arrived late.”

“Vicky, can you tell me what happened in detail?” Lincoln asked gently.

Vicky fell into silence for a few moments before proceeding to recount the earlier event.

Lincoln scowled. “You rarely get out of the area where Grandfather lives, yet Mother caught wind of yougetting out the moment you did… That’s too much of a coincidence.”
