Chapter 1124
Tyler sneered. "I haven't even left for that long, and you're already taking his side?"
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, "Tyler, let go of Lincoln."
Tyler's hand, the one grabbing Lincoln's collar, subconsciously tightened, and it caused his knuckles to go white.
"And what if I don't? Are you going to go to hell with him?"
"Tyler, can you please stop being so unreasonable?" asked Vicky in a tone that sounded like she was trying to
suppress her anger.
"Oh, so I've become unreasonable after you had a little chat with Lincoln, huh?" Tyler's gaze turned steely. "Vicky,
don't tell me you've fallen for this ugly piece of sh*t!"
"Tyler, can you please stop being so rude? Lincoln is not an ugly piece of sh*t. The hives are just from his allergic
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtreaction, and they'll be gone soon enough."
"And what if they don't?"
Vicky's eyelids twitched once. "Tyler, don't do anything reckless. Lincoln-"
"Don't tell me you genuinely believe he got the hives on his face because he was trying to cover for you?" 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, "What do you mean?"
Tyler glanced at Lincoln and chuckled drily. "What do I mean? Well, why don't you ask Lincoln? He was the one who
told you he disfigured himself because of you."
Vicky looked quizzically at Lincoln. "Lincoln, what does
Tyler mean by that?"
Lincoln's eyes darkened. It never crossed his mind that Tyler would rather the two of them perish together than let
the matter slide. 'He's one crazy son of a b*tch, alright.'
After a few seconds of silence, Lincoln finally came clean to Vicky. "Sorry, Vicky. I lied to you."
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.
Vicky's eyes wavered. "What do you mean?"
Lincoln sighed lightly and said, "Sorry, but I actually got the hives on that first night... I wouldn't have gone out if my
mother didn't force her way in. I lied to you 'cause I didn't want you to worry..."
"If you didn't get the hives intentionally, why would they suddenly appear...?" Vicky's voice gradually became
smaller until it faded to nothing in the end. 'Why? I thought the truth was close at hand... But if that's the case, how
did Tyler know about this?'
Vicky's gaze turned unforgiving when she turned to look at Tyler. "You did this to Lincoln, didn't you, Tyler?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"So what if it was me?" Tyler chuckled coldly. "Lincoln is no better than me since he decided to use this to get you to
pity him."
Vicky lowered her eyes. The initial shock was long gone, and in mere seconds, she returned to calmness. 'I
shouldn't be shocked that Tyler would do something like this. This is perfectly in line with his character, after all.'
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.
"Vicky, I knew I was being set up at that time, but I didn't have the proof, so I thought you wouldn't believe me if I
suddenly brought up the matter with you. That was why I decided to continue lying to you... I'm really sorry,” 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. "I understand."
