Chapter 1120
Vickyâs brow furrowed. âAre you saying thatâ¦â
Lincoln nodded. âEither someone has been watching you on my motherâs orders, or someone is tipping
her off. However, because of my persistent injury, my mother has been devoting most of her time to
taking care of me, so she probably hasnât had the chance to arrange for someone to spy on you.â
âSo youâre saying someone might be informing her of my whereabouts?â Vicky asked.
Lincoln looked at her. âVicky, when you and Miss Starling were walking around the mansion, did you
encounter anyone?â
The base of where the Harts resided was in Molivia, so there were not many people living in the
mansion in Zendonia.
Vicky considered for a moment and was about to say that she had not encountered anyone when
something suddenly struck her, and her eyes widened.
Lincoln noticed her change in expression and asked, âVicky, did you think of something?â
âI did not encounter anyone, butâ¦Aurora and I did see Tyler and Avery. However, them from a
distance, and they didnât notice us at that time.â
Vicky chose her words carefully. Because Tyler and Avery did not notice them back then, it did not
mean they had not been discovered later.
Lincoln looked at Vicky. âAvery just arrived today, so she probably isnât aware of the grudge between
you and my motherâ¦â
Although Lincoln did not proceed any further, Vicky instantly understood what he was implying.
Since Lincoln managed to announce Vicky as his girlfriend, it was only natural for others to assume
that he did so with Valenciaâs approval, and in Averyâs eyes, Vicky and Valencia were allies.
If Avery was not aware of the conflict between Vicky and Valencia, she would have had no motive to tip
Valencia off about Vickyâs location, which left only one suspect: Tyler.
The current situation seemed to benefit him and had no drawbacks.
Vicky had been tormented by Valencia, and she definitely would not want to stay at the Hartsâ mansion
any longer. Hence, Tyler watched as she was beaten and bullied, making sure she knew that she could
not stay as she pleased. He then waited for the âappropriateâ moment to appear before her, rescuing
her from danger, so that she would grow dependent on him once again, and he could cast her aside
when he eventually grew bored of her once more.
âA cunning plan, Iâll say,â Vicky cursed inwardly.
Lincoln seemed to have come to the same conclusion as well and spoke up. âWe shouldnât exclude the
possibility of coincidence. Perhaps weâre overthinking it.â
Vickyâs lips curled slightly, revealing a smile devoid of warmth. âA coincidence? In Tylerâs world, thereâs
never such a thing as a coincidence.â
Lincoln rarely badmouthed Tyler, so he did not continue the subject. âVicky, Iâm sorry for what
happened.â He paused and shot her a smile. âYou donât have to apologize for what happened. I will talk
to Mother about this.â
In the other room, Valencia has showered and changed into her new clothes when someone knocked
on the door.
âCome in,â said Valencia.
Tyler waltzed in elegantly.
Valencia felt less annoyed by him since he took her side and asked Vicky to apologize earlier.
