Lincoln calmly listened to Avery’s accusation and explained, “This is the only way to get her to let herguard down.”

He took a sip of his tea and continued, “I impersonated the mysterious man who helped her throughoutthe years to get closer to her, but she’s held back toward me still. She wouldn’t trust me if I didn’t helpher during this event.”

The anger on Avery’s face subsided slightly, but she continued sarcastically, “You’ve helped her somuch, destroyed your own face, and got shot. Still, she hasn’t really trusted you completely… Lincoln,you aren’t as attractive as you think you are.”

Lincoln remained silent.

Indeed, ever since he admitted to being the mysterious man, he made a point to assist Vicky a coupleof times, but Vicky continued to maintain a certain distance from him.

Obtaining Vicky’s trust was so challenging that he had to admit that he wasted a lot of energy on it.

Avery did not mind his silence and continued, “We made a deal. You want the power that Tyler holds,and I…want Tyler to myself.”

Lincoln turned his gaze toward her. “Once he has nothing, will your family still replace him desirable asyour match?”

Avery raised her chin proudly. “The Yeagers don’t lack money or influence, and we don’t need amarriage alliance to solidify our family’s status. I’m the only daughter, so my parents will never allow meto suffer in another family, so him having nothing actually benefits us, as he can marry into my family

instead.” A small smile formed on Avery’s lips.” When I mentioned this to my parents, they both agreedthat Tyler is an eligible match for me.”

The Yeagers were a top-tier elite family, surpassing even the Hart family despite the Hart family’sconsiderable accomplishments.

Lincoln, when he was engaged to Avery and with the Yeagers ‘ support, firmly established himself inthe Hart family, which just showed how powerful the Yeagers were.

With only Avery as their only daughter, her future husband could eventually inherit all of the Yeagerfamily’s assets. Even regular individuals, let alone someone like Lincoln from a top-tier elite family,would be tempted.

He wanted to become the heir, but that required navigating various power struggles within the family.

However, he could obtain an estate rivaling the Hart family’s if he married Avery. Who would not betempted by that?

Regardless, he had no interest in becoming a son-in-law, let alone obtaining something that came soeasily. Some things only held a sense of accomplishment when fought for.

“Considering how prideful Tyler is, he might not be willing to marry into your family,” Lincoln reminded.

Previously, when Tyler found that he was a member of the

Hart family, he refused to return, so one could easily guess that he would be reluctant to marry intoanother family.

Avery smirked smugly. “Marrying into my family isn’t something anyone is capable of. Whoever winsme will gain the world; any man would be tempted by that. If it weren’t for our cooperation to sowdiscord between him and Vicky, do you think I’d willingly wade into the mess amongst the Harts?”

Avery’s target had always been to marry Tyler, and she could care less about the power struggle withinthe Hart family.

She glanced at Lincoln, who was sipping his tea on the couch, and lowered her voice. “Lincoln, Tylerwill catch wind of this since we kidnapped Vicky in Stoneford City. Once Tyler goes to rescue Vicky, thefact that you’ve been impersonating the mysterious man will be exposed…”

“What I expose is merely my false identity, but what Tyler exposes…” Lincoln leaned back, his eyesshimmering cunningly as he continued, “Are his last cards.”

Avery was taken aback. “Cards? What do you mean?”

Lincoln poured a cup of tea and handed it to Avery. “Don’t you know anything about your futurehusband?”

Avery impatiently urged, “Just spit it out, Lincoln. Don’t keep me guessing!”

Lincoln smiled faintly. “Have you ever wondered why Old Mister Hart treated Tyler with such respectafter he arrived here?”

Avery was bewildered. “How is that related to the so-called cards you mentioned?”
