Chapter 1099
The pale look on Vickyâs face and the way she trembled pushed Tyler closer to snapping. His
expression darkened as he pursed his lips. âSo, youâre willing to leave with me?â
Despite his grim expression, his tone was indifferent, devoid of any emotional fluctuations.
Vickyâs attention was completely drawn to the gun in Tylerâs hand, and she did not notice that
something was wrong. Worried that he might actually shoot, she nodded. âYes, Iâm willing to go with
you.â
Tyler smiled ominously, and his eyes were filled with chilling coldness. âIâve cajoled and pursued you for
so long, and youâve been unwilling to go back with me, yet youâre now agreeing to leave with me simply
for Lincolnâs sake.â
Vicky sensed the sarcasm in his words and anxiously looked at Tyler. âTyler, can you put the gun down,
please? Letâs talk this out.â
Tyler chuckled lightly, mocking her. âIf I put the gun down, would you still be willing to go with me?â
âTyler, Iâ¦â Vicky was about to say something when Lincoln interrupted her.
âVicky, donât agree to leave with him!â Lincolnâs voice tightened, and the usually gentle smile on his face
vanished without a trace, replaced by an unfamiliar sternness.
Lincoln was always refined and courteous, treating others with warmth and respect, knowing when to
advance and retreat. If he sensed any discomfort from the other person due to his actions, he would
immediately stop. Being around him was relaxed and pressure-free, like a warm breeze.
Vicky had never seen Lincoln look so serious, and she was slightly taken aback.
Lincoln stared into Vickyâs eyes, his tone heavy. âVicky, I donât need you to make such sacrifices for
me. Moreover, I promised you that Iâd never let him take you away, and Iâll keep my word.â
Upon hearing Lincolnâs words, Vickyâs eyebrows twitched.
At this moment, Lincolnâs words were like pouring fuel on the fire.
Tyler was never a man who fooled around, and he had no fear of putting his threats into action. As she
had anticipated, Tyler barked a laugh upon hearing Lincolnâs words. âLincoln, you sure are devoted.â
Lincoln met his gaze and smiled faintly. âI am the kind of person who treats others the way they treat
me. Since Vicky is willing to sacrifice herself for me, how could I, as a man, cower and hide behind a
woman?â
Tylerâs grip on the gun tightened suddenly, and his malicious intent became so intense that it sent
shivers down oneâs spine.
âIn that case, if I donât fulfill your kind intentions, wouldnât
that be quite unfair to you?â
Facing the pitch-black barrel of the gun, Lincolnâs gaze remained steadfast. âYouâll have to step over
my dead body if you want to take Vicky away today, Tyler!â
Tyler sneered and tightened his fingers around the gun. âDo you think I wonât dare to do it?â
âTyler, donât!â Just then, Vicky stood before Lincoln abruptly.
âIâve already agreed to leave with you. Donât shoot!â
Tyler stilled at the sight of her and narrowed his eyes dangerously. âVicky, do you know what you are
doing right now?â
âYou want me to leave with you, right?â She stared into his eyes. âIâve already agreed to it. What else
do you want?â
âWhat else do I want?â A dazed look appeared on his face as he murmured, âThatâs right. What else do
I want?â Instantly, Tyler found himself lost.
