"You're right. I'm doing this under someone's order.”

Vicky was not surprised. "Under whose order?"

“Lincoln Hart," replied Chris without hesitation.

Vicky frowned and turned to look at him. “What exactly did he tell you to do?"

"Tyler cannot be placed under any form of stress right now, and Lincoln wants me to provoke Tyler untilhe goes insane.” What surprised Vicky most was that Chris was telling the truth. She muttered, "Whyare you...”

“I met Lincoln Hart after I was forced to leave Zendonia. He helped cure my mother, and I ended upworking under him. At that time, he took a liking to my abilities and wasn't aware of your connection tome. Until not long ago, he wanted to take Tyler down and consulted a few of us for a solution. Ivoluntarily brought up my history with you and offered to undertake the task,” he explained. “Once helearned about our past, Lincoln was greatly pleased and sent me here. He only knows that I used to beyour assistant and was driven away by Tyler, but he isn't aware of the finer details."

Vicky had already comprehended Chris’ intention, and a conflicted look emerged on her face. "Youdidn't need to do this.”

Chris had hardly been discreet with his intention when he tried to sow discord between Vicky and Tyler.He was a clever and capable man, skilled in achieving his goals imperceptibly. Given his suddenappearance and her inquiries, the fact that he made it so obvious fully suggested that he was actuallytrying to help her.

Chris understood she had guessed his motive and did not elaborate. “Your significance to Tyler is farfrom ordinary. From Lincoln's perspective, you're the most useful pawn. For Old Mister Hart—who aimsto bring Tyler back to the family— you are the greatest obstacle in his way. You can't continue yourrelationship with Tyler. If Old Mister Hart loses his patience, he might choose to eliminate you. With yougone, Tyler will likely resent his family, and Old Mister Hart's plan might fall apart. Hence, Old MisterHart won't take a reckless move unless he's left with no other option. Once Old Mister Hart learns hecan't get his way, he'll make his final move. That's why he didn't intervene when he knew Avery washypnotizing Tyler, even though he knew the consequences of it.”

Hearing Chris’ explanation, Vicky quickly deduced Old Mister Hart's intention. "Are you saying he'd killme to provoke Tyler?"

"Exactly." Chris' tone remained even and emotionless. "It's ideal if he can control Tyler, but if he can't, itwon't matter whether Tyler becomes insane or dies. Once Hart Corporation loses its leader, seizingcontrol of it would be easy.”

After Tyler's absence, Hart Corporation's stock value would inevitably plummet, and the companywould experience some turbulence and repercussions. However, this would only be temporary.

With the Hart family backing it, the company would not go bankrupt. In fact, many might view the Hartsas the best option to rely on and switch sides to align with them. Still, this would cause a temporaryloss to Hart Corporation and would require at least a year to recover the loss. Hence, this was not theoptimal choice for Old Mister Hart.

As Chris drove steadily, he analyzed the situation in an organized, calculated manner. "Lincoln Hart'sobjective is to reap the benefits in the confusion. He wants to create a favorable situation for himselfbefore Old Mister Hart makes his final move."

A chill ran through Vicky's heart, leaving her lost for words as she realized that every personsurrounding Tyler harbored ulterior motives. They lurked in the shadows, ready to deliver a fatal blowduring a critical moment so they could take advantage of Tyler.
