Avery’s knees went weak just from hearing Tyler’s voice.

Tyler slowly turned around, and his dark, deep gaze landed on her.

Avery paled at this, and after steadying herself, she raised an eyebrow and asked, “Tyler Hart, is thishow you treat a lady?”

Tyler could not be bothered with her pretense and said, “Did you poison Vicky?”

“What?” Avery looked at him blankly. “What are you talking about? I don’t understand you.”

“I’ve investigated the matter. You don’t need to keep up your act,” Tyler stated flatly.

Avery was bewildered for a moment before something seemed to dawn on her. “Do you really think Ipoisoned Vicky? When she was ill, you were so attentive to her that you took care of everythingyourself. I only saw Vicky once with Lincoln on the day she woke up, and we were kept at a distance…Are you suggesting that I could have poisoned her from afar?”

The look in Tyler’s eyes hardened. “Who said that all poisons have to take immediate effect?”

Avery wanted to defend herself, but then she saw Tyler produce a vial of medicine. “The seven-dayincubation

period is enough to clear your suspicion, especially when this bottle itself wasn’t brought over by you.”

As Avery caught sight of the vial, her gaze flickered slightly. After a few seconds of silence, shesuddenly burst into laughter. “I guess you have it all figured out.”

She knew Tyler was not the kind of person who could be easily deceived by others, so she stoppedpretending. She raised her delicate chin proudly and said, “That’s right. I switched the medicine Lincolngave to his mother.” Seeing the darkening expression on Tyler’s face, Avery chuckled lightly. “But thatall works out in your favor, don’t you agree?”

To my favor?” Tyler questioned.

“Am I wrong? You bought this poison from the black market to use it on Vicky, right? I was just doingwhat you wanted,” Avery replied with a hint of innocence on her face. She tilted her head, puzzled.“Shouldn’t you be happy? You’ve achieved your goal, and someone else took the blame for it.”

She studied his expression, and realization dawned on her.” Oh, I see… Do you regret it now becauseVicky looks too ugly for your taste? That’s not a problem, you know…” A mischievous smile formed onAvery’s lips. ”1 have the antidote give it to you. But you should understand that there’s no free lunch inthis world. If you want something, you have to pay for it. As long as you’re willing to agree to acondition of mine, I’ll give you the antidote.”

Tyler narrowed his eyes darkly. “And what do you want?”

Avery stared into his eyes and drawled, “I want you to marry me and be my man.”

“Miss Yeager, have you forgotten that you are engaged to Lincoln?” he asked mockingly.

“Don’t you worry about that,” she said cheerfully. “Lincoln and I have signed an agreement to dissolveour

engagement. The only reason that I kept that a secret so far is because…” She shot him a shy look. “Iwon’t be able to stay here and see you if I announce it.”

Avery was quite impressed by Lincoln, but she lost all interest in him from the moment she first metTyler.
