Chapter 1124
Tyler sneered. âI havenât even left for that long, and youâre already taking his side?â
He and Vicky fought even before he left, and even when he returned, the fight only resumed where
they left it.
Vicky did not want to continue fighting with him, so she simply said, âTyler, let go of Lincoln.â
Tylerâs hand, the one grabbing Lincolnâs collar, subconsciously tightened, and it caused his knuckles to
go white. âAnd what if I donât? Are you going to go to hell with him?â
âTyler, can you please stop being so unreasonable?â asked Vicky in a tone that sounded like she was
trying to suppress her anger.
âOh, so Iâve become unreasonable after you had a little chat with Lincoln, huh?â Tylerâs gaze turned
steely. âVicky, donât tell me youâve fallen for this ugly piece of sh*t!â
âTyler, can you please stop being so rude? Lincoln is not an ugly piece of sh*t. The hives are just from
his allergic reaction, and theyâll be gone soon enough.â
âAnd what if they donât?â
Vickyâs eyelids twitched once. âTyler, donât do anything reckless. Lincoln-â
âDonât tell me you genuinely believe he got the hives on his face because he was trying to cover for
you?â he interjected.
At that moment, Tyler no longer wanted to hide the truth. It did not matter if telling the truth would hurt
him more than his enemy; the most important thing was to prevent Vicky from catching feelings for
Lincoln.
Vicky could tell he was trying to hint at something, so she said, âWhat do you mean?â
Tyler glanced at Lincoln and chuckled drily. âWhat do I mean? Well, why donât you ask Lincoln? He was
the one who told you he disfigured himself because of you.â
Vicky looked quizzically at Lincoln. âLincoln, what does
Tyler mean by that?â
Lincolnâs eyes darkened. It never crossed his mind that Tyler would rather than let the matter slide.
âHeâs one crazy son of a b*tch, alright.â
After a few seconds of silence, Lincoln finally
Lincoln knew Tyler was prepared to make sure he did not have the chance to turn the tables around
when he said what he said. Thus, he believed admitting his mistake instead of continuing to lie to Vicky
was a better choice.
Vickyâs eyes wavered. âWhat do you mean?â
Lincoln sighed lightly and said, âSorry, but I actually got the hives on that first night⦠I wouldnât have
gone out if my mother didnât force her way in. I lied to you âcause I didnât want you to worryâ¦â
âIf you didnât get the hives intentionally, why would they suddenly appearâ¦?â Vickyâs voice gradually
became smaller until it faded to nothing in the end. âWhy? I thought the truth was close at hand⦠But if
thatâs the case, how did Tyler know about this?â
Vickyâs gaze turned unforgiving when she turned to look at Tyler. âYou did this to Lincoln, didnât you,
Tyler?â
âSo what if it was me?â Tyler chuckled coldly. âLincoln is no better than me since he decided to use this
to get you to pity him.â
Vicky lowered her eyes. The initial shock was long gone, and in mere seconds, she returned to
calmness. âI shouldnât be shocked that Tyler would do something like this. This is perfectly in line with
his character, after all.â
Her trust and liking for Tyler had reached the bottom of the pit, and it could not even get any worse than
it already was. On the other hand, she felt a little disappointed that Lincoln lied to her.
âVicky, I knew I was being set up at that time, but I didnât have the proof, so I thought you wouldnât
believe me if I suddenly brought up the matter with you. That was why I decided to continue lying to
you⦠Iâm really sorry,â said Lincoln apologetically.
Lincoln possessed high emotional intelligence. He would admit his mistake and apologize when he was
caught lying, so it was easy to forgive him. On the contrary, not only would Tyler not apologize, but he
would not see the fault in his action as well. On the contrary, he would come up with all sorts of
rationales to excuse himself for his wrongdoing.
Vicky nodded, indicating that she forgave Lincoln; she did not blame him at all. âI understand.â
