Chapter 1156
The hives on Lincolnâs face were not the reason why Avery did not want to be with him. She could
make Lincolnâs face return to its original state in a matter of minutes if she wanted to.
However, she preferred a man with a cold and restrained demeanor like Tyler.
Avery knew it was difficult to handle someone as aloof as Tyler, but once she had him under her
control, he would remain forever loyal to her.
Taking advantage of her identity as Lincolnâs fiancee, Avery managed to stay in the Hartsâ mansion.
She frequently appeared in front of Tyler during her stay, but he never spared her a second glance.
He was completely focused on Vicky, oblivious to any subtle hints she might have given him.
It was human nature to desire what was difficult to obtain, and the more he rejected her, the more she
desired him.
That was when Avery thought of poisoning Vicky.
After all, not a single man on earth did not care about his womanâs appearance.
Tyler was worried that Vickyâs beauty would attract other men, so he acquired the toxin that would not
harm the body, hoping to keep Vicky all to himself. Still, Avery knew that
Tyler would eventually grow tired of being with a horrendous- looking woman as time went by.
âNow that you know, I wonât hide it from you anymore.
Although this toxin is harmless to the body⦠Vickyâs face will never be able to recover if the toxin isnât
removed within a month,â Avery said triumphantly as she gazed at Tyler.â Vicky has been poisoned for
quite some time now. If we delay it any longer, youâll truly ruin the face you love.â
Avery slowly picked up the vial of medicine from the coffee table and opened it, taking a gentle sniff.
âThatâs right, this is it.â
Tylerâs expression was a mixture of anger and joy. â How do you know all of this?â
âAre you referring to your purchase record?â Avery did not intend to hide anything. My senior at school
is a genius in the field of medicine. He developed this medicine to help another one of my seniors
evade pursuit.â
Once the toxin was digested, a personâs face would be so disfigured that even their family might find it
hard to recognize them. It was more effective than plastic surgery and had no side effects.
Although Avery was not as knowledgeable in poisons as her senior, she had also studied medicine and
understood its intricacies.
âMy senior sold this medicine to you. It wasnât difficult to investigate the buyerâs identity,â Avery
explained, closing the vial and smiling faintly at Tyler as she coquettishly
continued, âEven if Vicky discovers the truth, she wonât hate you⦠See? Iâm being considerate.â
She walked up to Tyler, feeling increasingly fascinated by his perfect features. Unable to help herself,
she leaned in, wanting to kiss him. However, before she could get close to him, Avery was forcefully
pushed away.
âAh!â Caught off-guard, Avery was shoved onto the floor.
Tyler stared down at her and mocked, âDo you really think that I have no means of getting rid of the
toxin without your help?â
Avery looked at him dazedly. âWhat?â
Just then, Tyler pulled out another vial. âWhat do you think this is?â
Avery widened her eyes and paled. âNâNo wayâ¦â She mumbled. âThereâs only one portion of the
antidote left, and
I have it. You canât possibly have the antidoteâ¦â
âThatâs what you think. Iâve already found the antidote,â he said mockingly.
Unwilling to believe him, Avery shook her head frantically.â No way! The antidote you have must be
fake! Why else would you not cure Vicky? I donât believe you-â
Creak!
