Chapter 1079

Realizing it was Tyler’s voice, Vicky instinctively looked around her. Everything was as it should be, and

there was no suspicious person to be found. However, she knew Tyler must have ordered someone to

monitor her. Otherwise, how would he know that she was with Lincoln? She and Lincoln had only been

speaking for a short while before his call came.

Vicky did not want to speak to him anymore, so she immediately hung up the phone. However, her

phone rang again after a few seconds. She checked the caller ID and realized that it was still Tyler who

was calling. Biting the bullet, she quickly blocked his number.

After a few minutes of peace and quiet, she received a call from an unknown number. Frowning, she

answered the phone.

“Vicky, how dare you block my number,” said Tyler coldly.

Without waiting for him to say anything else, Vicky hung up the phone again. This time she did not

block that number but instead turned off her phone. She knew Tyler could get his hands on as many

new numbers as he wanted, so there was no point in her blocking one number after another.

Peace and quiet finally returned to her world after she turned off her phone. Lincoln quietly watched all

that transpired. It was only when she lifted her head did he ask,” Are you sure it’s okay to turn off your

phone?”

“Yeah. Why wouldn’t it be?”

Lincoln smiled. “I always thought you wouldn’t have the heart to be so ruthless to him.”

At the mention of Tyler, Vicky’s face immediately turned sullen.

“That might be true. Maybe that’s why he thinks he can do whatever he wants to me,” Vicky admitted.

“What about now?”

Vicky looked at Lincoln. “Now?”

“Do you still feel the same way as you did last time?”

After a brief moment of silence, Vicky finally answered, “No.”

Lincoln let the conversation go at that. Instead, he asked,” Vicky, do you believe all the things I’ve told

you just now?”

He seemed as if he really cared about what she thought of him.

‘The rumors, Old Mister Hart, and Lincoln… They all have their own version of the story. I don’t even

know who’s telling the truth. It’s not like I was there when it happened, so I have no right to judge.’ 1

“I… I don’t know,” she said quietly.

Lincoln smiled haplessly. “So, you still don’t believe me.”

There was nothing wrong with Lincoln’s explanation, and yet Vicky still could not say with a hundred

percent honesty that she totally believed what he told her. However, she had to admit to herself that

she would rather believe Lincoln than Tyler. In fact, her trust in Tyler had already dropped to zero

percent.

Lincoln did not say anything to force her to believe him but instead gently said, “Let me show you

around.”

Vicky was going to turn down his offer when Lincoln added quietly, “It’s better to familiarize yourself

with the surroundings in case you wanted to escape from here one day.”

The place Old Mister Hart lived in was huge. Even if he allowed her to leave, she would not be able to

find the exit. Thinking of this, Vicky accepted Lincoln’s offer.

Lincoln showed her around the place. Ever the gentleman, he made sure to keep some distance away

from her so that she would not feel pressured or scared.
