Before Vicky could think, she felt a gun pressed against her head, followed by the sound of someone chuckling."Tyler, put your gun down."Vicky jolted and turned around, realizing that Lincoln had somehow appeared behind her and was pointing a gun at her. There was the same gentle smile on his face, but the look in his eyes was sharp like she had never seen before.Vicky was baffled as she wondered if Lincoln was acting.Tyler's eyes narrowed, and his expression = darkened. "So you're finally sick of keeping up the act, huh, Lincoln?""That's right. Wearing a mask for too long can be exhausting." Lincoln smiled faintly. "But you've been wearing a mask all this time to deceive Vicky as well. Don't you feel tired of that?"Tyler's gaze darkened as he remained silent.Lincoln pretended to be surprised. "I've decided to reveal everything. Are you...planning to keep hiding the truth? Do you still refuse to own up to the truth, even when I took credit for your work as the mysterious
Lincoln was a perspective man and would not let the slightest hint escape him.Following this faint trail, Lincoln began his investigation but found very little useful information. Nonetheless, his intuition told him that Tyler was related to the mysterious man somehow.Everything seemed to fall into place with a direction in mind. However, no matter how convinced he was that Tyler was the mysterious person, it would only be speculation as long as Tyler refused to admit it.Therefore, Lincoln planned the kidnapping, determined to unveil Tyler's true identity.Lincoln feigned confusion at Tyler's silence. "I don't understand you. On one hand, you're pushing Vicky into despair, but on the other hand, you're secretly helping her. What's your motive? It's the same thing with you telling everyone that you and she were divorced, when in reality...you haven't divorced at all. What are you trying to do?"Vicky was stunned by Lincoln's words as she was merely trying to maintain her composu
Tyler moved his lips to explain himself as he looked into Vicky's bloodshot eyes, but all explanation was reduced to a few words. "I didn't want that."Vicky no longer cared what intention Tyler bore and glared at him. "Tyler, I will never believe you or forgive you ever again!"Tyler panted heavily and clenched his fists. However, when he spotted Lincoln smiling, the look in his eyes darkened.Lincoln exposed Tyler in front of Vicky to mess with his head, and he knew that he had to keep calm to get Vicky out alive, so he turned to look at Lincoln and said, "State your terms."He was negotiating with Lincoln in the hope to discuss the conditions for him to release Vicky.Before Lincoln could speak, several gunshots rang out from outside. Hurried footsteps followed, and Lincoln's men anxiously approached to report."Young Master, we're surrounded! We need to leave here quickly."Lincoln remained calm. "It seems I underestimated your strength, Tyler. You managed to eliminate my me
Lincoln had taken precautions, but he still underestimated Tyler's skill and decisiveness. He never expected Tyler to first seize the gun instead of going for Vicky.In the blink of an eye, Tyler snatched the gun in Lincoln's hand. His speed was astonishing, leaving Lincoln with no time to react.As soon as Tyler seized the gun, he pulled the trigger without hesitation.Bang! A piercing sound echoed as the bullet flew toward Lincoln with lightning speed.Lincoln's eyes widened, and he was barely able to dodge in time; the bullet grazed his hair and hit the wall behind him.Seeing that he missed Lincoln, Tyler quickly pulled the trigger two more times.Bang! Bang!It was impossible to dodge three bullets in an instant, so Lincoln could only choose to evade the vital shots, allowing the remaining two bullets to pierce his body.Tyler's gaze turned ruthless, and he emitted a chilling aura.Lincoln's men quickly opened fire at Tyler.Tyler agilely evaded the bullets, his expressi
A bullet struck the rear-viewing mirror and shattered it.Tyler's eyes widened at the sight of the sniper who fired the shot. A tinge of urgency seeped into his voice as he commanded, "Get in the car—"Bang!Before the words had even left his lips, another bullet flew past.Tyler swiftly pushed Vicky away, and the bullet landed on the ground behind her. He narrowed his eyes at the realization that the target was not him but Vicky instead.His suspicion was confirmed as gunshots erupted from different directions, zooming toward Vicky at a speed that was too fast to dodge. Among them, a bullet was aimed at Vicky's head.Vicky watched as the bullet raced toward her, her life flashing before her eyes.At that moment, Tyler sidestepped and shielded Vicky, blocking the bullet. His body tensed momentarily.Warm blood splattered onto Vicky's face, leaving her staggered."You..." Vicky began to speak, but Tyler forcefully pushed her into the car."Get in the car first."Thump! The do
"My men will take a while to get here," said Tyler.Vicky remained quiet for a while before saying, "You're hurt. Let me drive.""I'm fine," he said coolly. "My vital organs are safe."She frowned. "You can still bleed out.""Would you care?""..." Vicky lowered her head in silence."Since you don't care, whether I die shouldn't matter to you," he said with a cold expression. "You've always wanted to get rid of me, so you should be happy to see me die. After all, that means you can stop thinking of ways to get away from me."Rage coursed through Vicky at his words. "That's right, I desperately want to get as far as possible away from you..." she gritted out. "I even wish that we never see each other again."Tyler tightened his grip on the steering wheel, and the back of his hand, stained with blood, revealed faintly bulging veins.Tyler pursed his lips silently, but his gaze was extremely gloomy.Vicky sneered, "You caused the car accident to make me lose my memory. You fabri
"Yes."Tyler knew that Vicky's pregnancy was fake but was distracted by Alex at the time and did not notice she was truly pregnant.Vicky ended up losing their child because of Alex, and the thought of his lost child caused Tyler's expression to darken.He had thought he would be willing to let go of the past and start fresh with Vicky if they had a child of their own. He needed a reason to let go of the past, and a child was the perfect reason for them to restore their relationship.It was fine when she was merely pretending to be pregnant, yet she risked her life for Alex despite being pregnant, which caused Tyler to think that their child was not as important to Vicky as Alex was.Meanwhile, Vicky's heart ached at the memories of her lost child.The death of their child hurt Tyler, but it was also something she could never forgive herself about."Whether you believe it or not, I didn't know at that time that I was pregnant..." she said and paused to look at Tyler. "You were s
Vicky looked at Tyler. "Are you saying...you chose to hypnotize me because you didn't want a divorce?"Tyler did not deny it, which meant he was admitting to it.Vicky snorted. "Your so-called 'trying again' meant taking advantage of my amnesia and fabricating lies, saying that I was the one who stubbornly refused to divorce you?"It would be understandable that outsiders were unaware of the truth spreading such rumors, but Tyler knew everything. He knew, yet he painted her as a despicable woman who would do anything to marry him!Vicky simply could not empathize with Tyler's thought process."Fine, I'll assume that you hypnotized and deceived me because you didn't want a divorce, but why did you switch up and proposed a divorce? You even went so far as to send me to jail and used various means to force me into accepting it..." Vicky sneered. "Tyler, is this your idea of not wanting a divorce?"Tyler's eyebrows furrowed in disagreement. Since he had been exposed by Lincoln, Tyler
