Chapter 1207
Lincoln calmly listened to Avery's accusation and explained, "This is the only way to get her to let her guard down."
He took a sip of his tea and continued, "I impersonated the mysterious man who helped her throughout the years
to get closer to her, but she's held back toward me still. She wouldn't trust me if I didn't help her during this event."
The anger on Avery's face subsided slightly, but she continued sarcastically, "You've helped her so much, 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 couple of 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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAvery 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 find him desirable as your match?"
Avery raised her chin proudly. "The Yeagers don’t lack money or influence, and we don’t need a marriage alliance
to solidify our family's status. I'm the only daughter, so my parents will never allow me to 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 agreed that Tyler is an eligible match for me."
The Yeagers were a top-tier elite family, surpassing even the Hart family despite the Hart family’s considerable
accomplishments.
Lincoln, when he was engaged to Avery and with the Yeagers ' support, firmly established himself in the 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 Yeager family'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 be tempted by
that?
Regardless, he had no interest in becoming a son-in-law, let alone obtaining something that came so easily. 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 into another family.
Avery smirked smugly. "Marrying into my family isn't something anyone is capable of. Whoever wins me will gain the
world; any man would be tempted by that. If it weren't for our cooperation to sow discord between him and Vicky,
do you think I'd willingly wade into the mess amongst the Harts?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAvery's target had always been to marry Tyler, and she could care less about the power struggle within the Hart
family.
She glanced at Lincoln, who was sipping his tea on the couch, and lowered her voice. "Lincoln, Tyler will catch wind
of this since we kidnapped Vicky in Stoneford City. Once Tyler goes to rescue Vicky, the fact 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 eyes shimmering
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 future husband?"
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 respect after he
arrived here?"
Avery was bewildered. "How is that related to the so-called cards you mentioned?"
