Chapter 1157
A sound came from the door. It was faint but noticeable.
âWhoâs there?â Tyler narrowed his eyes and opened the door abruptly.
He frowned at the sight of the familiar figure before him and was stunned when he saw the smooth, fair
skin on the womanâs face.
Vickyâs face had recovered.
Realization dawned on Tyler, and he instinctively reached for her hand. âVick-â
Slap! Vicky glowered at Tyler as she smacked his face.
âSo it really was you!â
Although she found out what happened, hearing their conversation in person still made Vickyâs blood
run cold.
âTyler Hart, I never expected you to be so cruel!â Vicky gritted her teeth as she glared hatefully at Tyler.
Tyler, who had always been composed and unruffled, could not help but panic.
Not bothered by being slapped, he said hastily, âVicky, let me explain.â
âSure, Iâll listen to your explanation.â Vicky did not leave and stood in place. She glanced at Avery, who
was sitting on the ground, then looked at the bottle of poison on the coffee
table. Finally, her gaze fell on the vial in Tylerâs palm as she sneered. âIâm curious to see what kind of
nonsense you can come up with to deceive me this time.â
Three days ago, Vicky received a call from Lincoln saying that he found the antidote for her. However,
even though Tyler promised her freedom, there were still plenty of guards around the mansion.
Over the course of three days, Lincoln had found a woman with a similar side profile to Vicky. To avoid
arousing suspicion from Tyler, Vicky dared not leave the mansion. Instead, she intentionally wandered
around the vicinity of the mansion, taking advantage of the guards who were not paying attention to slip
away.
Early in the morning today, Lincoln picked her up and administered the antidote, so she had arrived at
the Hartsâ mansion earlier than Tyler.
After temporarily neutralizing the toxin, Lincoln discovered that Tyler had come to the mansion and
taken Avery away by force.
Avery was Lincolnâs fiancee, so it seemed strange for him to abduct Avery, and Vicky was alarmed as
she thought about it.
She followed the guards sent to capture Avery silently, trying to get closer to the room. However, the
two guards were too vigilant, and Vicky was unable to approach the room unnoticed.
In the end, with Lincolnâs help, they managed to lure the guards away, allowing Vicky to finally get
closer. The first sentence she heard was Avery saying, âShouldnât you be happy? Youâve achieved your
goal, and someone else took the blame for it.â
Upon hearing this, Vicky was still confused. However, as she listened closely to the following
conversation, she soon realized that Tyler ordered Avery to poison her.
Tyler held Vickyâs shoulders and stared into her eyes. âIf I were to say that I didnât poison you, would
you believe me?â
âOf course, I believe you didnât poison me.â Vicky smirked.â After all, Avery was the one who poisoned
me, under your order.â
