Chapter 1130
âMy mother will apologize to you in person later,â Lincoln repeated with a smile.
âShe⦠Sheâll come and apologize to me in person?â
âYes.â
Vicky was in disbelief. âThe headstrong Valencia is willing to apologize to me?â 1
Even though what happened was Valenciaâs fault, Vicky understood it would be impossible for an elder
to apologize to someone younger than her. In fact, the best way to deal with the problem was to
pretend it never existed. Even Tyler, in a bid to assuage the public, requested Vicky to apologize to
Valencia. ?
Sensing Vickyâs disbelief, Lincoln added softly, âVicky, Iâve talked to my mother, and she promised not
to make life difficult for you anymore.â Then, his tone became apologetic. âIâm so sorry. I was the one
who asked you to stay here, yet I didnât manage to protect you⦠Instead, I let the person closest to me
hurt you.â
Vicky felt a little embarrassed by how cold she treated him moments before after she heard what he
said.
âItâs not your fault; you donât have to be sorry. You helped me out so many times before, but I seemed
to have caused you nothing but troubleâ¦so I should be the one apologizing to you.â After a pause, she
asked, âHow did you manage to persuade her into doing this?â
âI cleared up the misunderstanding and bias she seemed to hold toward you.â
Vicky wanted to ask Lincoln if he ended up fighting with Valencia because of her but felt it would make
her seem pretentious if she did ask that. Thus, she decided against asking.
Lincoln, being the sensitive guy he was, knew from Vickyâs silence what she was thinking but did not
force her to say it. Instead, he said, âIâm just glad youâre okay. Iâll let you get on with your day now. Call
me if thereâs anything.â
âSure thing,â said Vicky before hanging up the phone.
An hour later, Valencia went to see Vicky alone. Seeing the question in Vickyâs eyes, she coldly said,
âLincolnâs still recovering from his hives, so I thought itâs best he didnât come with me. His hives actually
worsened after he insisted on coming out of his room to help you yesterday.â
Vickyâs eyes wavered. âSeems like she still has no idea that it was Tyler who caused Lincolnâs face to
break out in hives.â
Her heart turned cold after recalling how unrepentant and unremorseful Tyler was about what he did. In
his eyes, Lincoln was a devious man willing to do anything to achieve his goal, yet Lincoln was always
the one who got hurt in the end. 2
âIs he doing better now?â asked Vicky lightly.
âWell, at least heâs still alive, which is more than I can hope for after all the things you did to him.â
Vicky fell silent. It was pointless to say anything more since doing so would only elicit more sarcasm
from Valencia.
Valencia did not seem like she wanted to spend more time with her, so she immediately got down to
business. âThe reason Iâve come today is to apologize to you and, well⦠I promise I wonât make life
difficult for you in the future.
Having said that, I hope you can walk the other way when you see me the next time.
âAnd⦠Even though I donât like Avery that much, Iâd still choose her over you, so itâs not becoming for
Lincoln to spend all his time and attention on you. Iâve made up my mind to keep their engagement
intact, so I hope youâll keep your distance from Lincoln from now on.â
