Neither Angela nor Vicky expected Avery to pull off such a move.

Caught off-guard, no one reacted in time. The hat was snatched off in an instant, and the dark blue mark on Vicky’s forehead was revealed.

“What…?” Surprised by the sight before her, Avery’s eyes widened, and she dropped the hat onto the ground.

Angela paled and instinctively stood in front of Vicky, trying to shield her from Avery’s gaze, but Vicky pushed Angela aside and slowly walked up to Avery, taking off her mask and glasses.

Seeing Vicky’s face, Avery involuntarily took a few steps back, fear flickering in her eyes.

Unconcerned by Avery’s frightened expression, Vicky calmly said, “I’m sorry for scaring you.”

She then bent down to pick up her hat.

Avery’s lips moved as if she wanted to say something but could not at the sight.

Vicky glanced at Avery and was about to put on her hat when a low, gentle voice came from behind, tinged with unmistakable surprise.

“Vicky?!”

Vicky froze.

Footsteps approached as the person walked briskly to her side.

“Vicky, how have you been lately? Has your health improved?

Vicky lowered her head and stood silently.

Puzzled that Vicky refused to look at her, Lincoln muttered,” Vicky, what’s wron-“

Before he could finish his sentence, Vicky lifted her head and looked at Lincoln.

Lincoln was instantly taken aback and gaped at her in disbelief. “Vicky, what… What happened to your face?”

Lincoln was also wearing a hat, glasses, and a mask, similar to her attire.

Vicky looked at Lincoln calmly. “I was poisoned with some kind of toxin.”

“Toxin?” Lincoln quickly regained his usual composure.

He showed no hint of disgust or repulsion as carefully examining her, his voice carrying deep concern. “What happened? Who poisoned you?”

Vicky shook her head. “I’m not entirely sure. We haven’t found the culprit.”

“Have you found the antidote?”

“Not yet.”

Lincoln observed her with concern. “Do you feel any discomfort now?”

“No.” Vicky avoided Lincoln’s gaze. “I’m perfectly healthy except for what’s going on with my face. There are no major issues so far.”

Lincoln took a few steps forward. “Vicky, can you tell me in detail how you were poisoned?”

A trace of hesitation flashed in Vicky’s eyes.

Lincoln turned to look at Avery and said, “Avery, I need to speak with Vicky in private. You should go back.”

Avery’s expression darkened slightly, but the tension on her face instantly eased when she saw Vicky’s face.

“Alright. You two go ahead, then. I will get out of your hair,” she said generously.

After Avery was gone, Vicky turned to Angela and said, “You need to give us some space.”

Angela narrowed her eyes. “But Mister Hart…”

“I’m only speaking to Second Young Master alone for a while. It won’t take long.”

“But…”

Vicky interrupted her. Relax. You can still supervise me from afar. It’ll just be a few minutes.”
