Chapter 1163
Vicky was at a loss for words and could only reply, [I guess...
I will start over.]
Lincoln, who rarely asked so many questions, acted strangely and continued. [How will you start over?]
Vicky considered for a moment and typed. [I haven't been able to relax in the past few years, so I think I'll travel
around for a while and open a new fashion studio.]
[Where would you like to go traveling?]
Vicky scowled at the sight of this message. After all, she was hardly in the mood to think when it was not certain if
she could leave.
[I haven't thought of that.] She replied.
[Think about it, and I will take you wherever you want to go.) He typed.
As Vicky looked at the text on her phone, she trembled slightly and wondered if she understood him. [You mean...
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou can take me away from here?] She responded.
[Yes.]
[When can I leave, then?)
(When you have decided where you want to go.]
'So I guess Lincoln is asking me these things again to confirm if I still want to leave,' she thought. 'That explains
his strange behavior.'
Vicky questioned cautiously. [Can I think it over tonight and reply to you tomorrow?]
[Sure.]
Vicky felt relieved and typed. [Alright, get some rest. Goodnight.]
[Goodnight.] He replied.
The next day, Vicky carefully did her research and chose several countries that had no business ties with the Harts
and were far from their influence.
That afternoon, she eagerly sent the chosen results to Lincoln via text.
[I've come up with Auran, Lovian, and Xerxes. Which one do you think would be more convenient for me to travel
to?] 2
Among these countries, Vicky actually preferred Auran. She wanted to visit Auran for a long time, but whether
Lincoln had any enemies there or if it would be possible was unknown, so Vicky sent three options for him to choose
from.
It took over an hour before she received a reply.
[Auran.]
Although the probability of him choosing Auran out of the three options did not necessarily mean anything, Vicky
was momentarily lost in thought for a few seconds.
In fact, as early as a few years ago, when he first helped her, she felt that this person understood her very well.
Though one could easily look into her hobbies and preferences, he could always guess what she was thinking.
He appeared when she was most desperate and helpless, helping her time and time again. 1
One of the most memorable instances for Vicky was after the downfall of her family, and she went from being a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwealthy young lady to a nobody.
Affluent young ladies who used to envy her found the clothing store where she worked and intentionally made
things difficult for her.
One young lady even deliberately spilled a cup of water, slapped her face, and made her kneel to apologize.
At that time, her family had left Stoneford City, and Harvey had been imprisoned. As an orphaned girl, Vicky could
not afford to offend these aristocrats.
To her bewilderment, a stranger approached her with a smile and said, "Ms. Shaw, my employer wants you to strike
back and he'll bear all responsibilities."
Vicky was taken aback. "Who are you referring to?"
The woman merely smiled. "It doesn't matter who he is.
What matters is that these women have seriously affected my employer's mood, so he specifically instructed me to
tell you to fight back." 1
Seeing Vicky still in a daze, the woman continued gently,"
Do you not know how to fight back, Ms. Shaw? Let me give you a demonstration, then..."
With that, she walked up to the young ladies and slapped one of them hard.
