Chapter 1162
âVicky, are you sure you want to leave him?â
âYes,â answered Vicky.
âAlright.â Lincoln nodded. âIâll make the arrangement as soon as possible. Once everything is in place,
Iâll get you out of here.â
Vicky studied his sophisticated side profile and whispered,â Thank you.â
He chuckled. âWeâre friends. You donât have to thank me. I will contact you once everything is
prepared.â
With that, Lincoln sent Vicky back to her apartment.
For several consecutive days, there was no news from Lincolnâs side.
âHas Lincoln encountered some kind of trouble, orâ¦has Tyler found out?â Vicky thought anxiously.
She wanted to call Lincoln and ask about the situation, but she remembered what Lincoln said about
Tyler monitoring his phone recently.
Vicky did not dare to act rashly. If Tyler discovered their contact, all their efforts would be in vain.
In the evening, just as Vicky walked out of the bathroom, she heard a slight vibration from her phone.
Worried that Tyler might see the messages she sent, neither Cece nor Jennifer had been sending her
any messages and had only spoken to Vicky through the phone.
When she saw the notification on the screen, she was slightly stunned and a hint of confusion
appeared in her eyes.
[Do you still want to leave him?]
Though the number of the sender was not saved, Vicky was familiar with it. It belonged to the
mysterious person who always helped her, which meant that it was Lincoln. 2
She already expressed her determination to leave, so she was confused as to why Lincoln felt the need
to confirm it again.
âIs he afraid Iâve cooled down and changed my mind?â she thought. âI guess thatâs possible. After all, itâd
be difficult to get me out of Tylerâs sphere of influence, so itâs not surprising that he wants to triple-
check everything.â
Vicky replied. [Yes, Iâve made up my mind.]
Vicky waited for a long time but did not receive a response from the other side.
Hesitant, she decided to send another message. [Do you have a way to get me out of here?]
She was not sure what had happened on Lincolnâs end, but she had a keen sense that he seemed to
have encountered some trouble.
A reply came. [Where do you want to go?) 1
Vicky was momentarily at a loss as she had not thought about this before.
Previously, she had thought of seeking refuge with Jennifer and Cece, but she realized that she might
cause the two trouble if Tyler chased after her. Hence, she could not go to Jennifer and Cece anytime
soon.
With that in mind, Vicky replied. [Anywhere Tyler canât find me will do.]
There was another long pause without a reply.
Vicky did not know if he was busy, caught up by something else, or if something unexpected had truly
happened.
Her fingertips moved slightly across the screen as she edited another message. [Is something troubling
your end?]
Instead of answering her question, he wrote. [What are your plans after leaving?]
Vicky had fantasized countless times about what would happen after leaving Tyler, but none of those
fantasies had ever come true. Eventually, she stopped thinking about a future where she would be free.
