Chapter 1208
Lincoln smiled faintly. âDo you think Tyler has nothing outside of the Hart family?â
Avery clearly did not understand the intricacies and said, âI admit that Hart Corporation has gained
some reputation under Tylerâs reign, but there is still a long way to go for his company to reach the
status of my family or yours. He might have prominent power in Zendonia, but on a global scaleâ¦â
Avery pursed her lips. âItâs probably far from enough.â
The Yeagers would not accept anyone ordinary as their daughterâs match, and the reason Averyâs
parents agreed to her marrying Tyler was that they valued his abilities. They never appreciated men
born with a silver spoon who had high social standings but lacked talent.
Averyâs parents had introduced to her several wealthy young men with outstanding abilities and
suitable backgrounds, but she did not find any of them appealing. She had high standards for men and
needed them to be good-looking with no appalling hobbies.
Finding someone with good character, abilities, matching social standing, and attractive appearance
was incredibly difficult. In other words, such men were absolutely exceptional and might not find Avery
attractive.
Avery was the only daughter, and her parents doted on her greatly. Since she insisted on finding a
good-looking match, they decided to compromise to look for men with lower
social standing but who had great talents with attractive looks instead.
After a long search, Avery set her sights on the adopted son of the Hart family, Lincoln.
She investigated Lincoln and found that, apart from his lower status as so she decided to marry him.
When Lincoln wanted to break off their engagement because of her scandal, Avery refused to accept it
as Lincoln only found himself in the current position of power with the Yeagersâ help. Avery considered
herself the only one entitled to call off the engagement and was determined to teach Lincoln a lesson
on her way to the Hartsâ mansion.
She could not tolerate being discarded after being used.
However, after encountering Tyler at the mansion, Avery lost all interest in Lincoln. In terms of
appearance and demeanor, Tyler was the man of her dreams. Lincoln Lincoln seemed mediocre
compared to him.
However, it was clear that Tyler was not interested in her at all; he rarely spared her a glance and
focused on Vicky instead.
To win Tyler over, Avery accepted Lincolnâs proposal and chose to cooperate with him.
Seeing the disdain on Averyâs face, Lincoln could not be bothered to explain himself extensively to her.
âSince Tyler used that identity to contact Vicky, itâll soon be known that Iâm just pretending to be the
mysterious man. So, instead of being uncovered with no gain, itâs better to⦠do something meaningful
before that,â he said.
Although Avery did not know what Lincoln was referring to, she was not completely ignorant and sighed
lightly. âItâs no wonder you, an adopted son, managed to establish yourself in the Hart family in such a
short time and get Old Mister Hart all riled up. Your abilities in scheming are truly unparalleled.â
Lincoln remained unruffled and paid no mind to Averyâs mocking tone. â After the truth is revealed,
Vicky will lose all trust in me. Howeverâ¦Tyler is probably the one most afraid of the truth being
exposed. Once Vicky learns about his true identity, sheâll probably resent him even moreâ¦â
Avery scoffed. âYou are so evil.â
âThank you for the compliment.â
Just as Avery wanted to ask how Lincoln was sure Tyler was the mysterious man, someone knocked
on the door.
âPlease come in,â Lincoln said gently.
Lincolnâs man walked in and said, âSir, Tyler Hart is here.â
Lincoln smirked. âHe sure moves quickly.â
When Vicky regained consciousness, she found herself tied to a chair. Her eyes were blindfolded, her
mouth covered.
She did not know what had happened; all she knew was that she had been kidnapped.
