Chapter 978
Tyler tortured Vicky with anything and everything he could possibly come up with because he wanted to take
revenge on her. Meanwhile, Lincoln was the one who helped her and gave her hope when she was at her most
helpless.
Therefore, logically speaking, Vicky should trust Lincoln more than she trusted Tyler. However, for some reason, she
just could not help but be wary of the man standing before her. Thus, it was not that she was ungrateful to him, it
was just...
"Mister Lincoln..." said Vicky before he cut her off.
"You don't want to keep in contact with me anymore, right?"
Vicky fell silent.
"Is it because Tyler and I are adversaries? Even if the two of you are divorced, you still care about his feelings?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtVicky replied instinctively, "No. I just don't want to get involved in a fight between two brothers."
Lincoln smiled mockingly. "Brothers? When did he ever see me as his brother? Vicky, I'm assuming that he's...
harassing you again, isn't he?"
Vicky's face tensed up, and that was all Lincoln needed to see to get his answer.
"He insisted on getting a divorce with you before I came into the picture to the point of hurting your friend and
putting you
in prison. However, he started showing interest in you again after I brought you to the party last night. Are you still
unable to see what his real purpose is?"
Of course, Vicky knew what Tyler's intention was. It was simply a matter of him wanting to control her after seeing
her with another man. His reaction might not be as big as it was last night if it was any man other than Lincoln, who
was the one person in the world Tyler would never allow to have Vicky.
"If you want to get back together with him because of this, then... I won't stop you. However, you must leave the
past behind if you want to start all over with him again. Vicky, do you really want to live forever in Tyler's shadow?"
Vicky was a little shocked. 'If Tyler meant what he said, does that mean I have no choice but to be his secret lover?
But then I'll be at the mercy of his whims. What if he gets bored of me and casts me aside again? What does he
really take me for?' 1
Thinking of Tyler's behavior toward her last night made her sick to the stomach. However, she forced herself to stay
calm.
"I can solve this problem with Tyler on my own. Thank you for helping me over the years. You can call me anytime if
you ever need my he-"
Vicky did not finish her sentence because she noticed that Lincoln, who was looking at her just seconds ago, was
suddenly looking past her. Frowning, she followed his gaze and saw a handsome man and a beautiful woman
coming out of the elevator.
"Tyler, how’s Missus Hart doing? I hope it's nothing serious."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"She's fine," said Tyler lightly and without any hint of emotion on his face.
Aurora looked hesitantly at him. "Tyler, what's going on between... Miss Vicky and Mister Lincoln? How did she end
up being his girlfriend?"
Tyler's expression suddenly turned cold. "They're not together."
"Then why did she..." A sudden thought occurred to Aurora which gave her some understanding of what was really
happening. "I get it now! She must be using Mister Lincoln to make you jealous."
Tyler did not say anything.
The more Aurora thought about it, the more certain she felt that that was the case. A trace of disdain flashed
across her eyes, but she decided to let the matter go. She then took a peek at Tyler and asked shyly, "Tyler,
regarding the date of our engagement... I have chosen the eighteenth of next month as it's a lucky day for both of
our star signs. Is that okay with you?"
"I'm not free next month.”
"Why not? I can make the arrangements myself if you're busy with work,” Aurora responded, sounding a little
disappointed.
"If that's the case, why don't you get engaged to yourself
instead?" Tyler asked coldly.
