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 man?”
Vicky trembled and instinctively gaped at Tyler.
Tyler did not look at her and kept his gaze fixed on Lincoln, glowering as he did.
Lincoln tapped the trigger with his finger gently with a smile on his face. “Tyler, didn’t I ask you to put down the gun?
Didn’t you hear me?”
After a few seconds of silence, Tyler threw the gun he held onto the floor.
Lincoln signaled his subordinates to take Tyler’s gun and instructed, “You can all leave.”
His subordinates complied and left. With a soft laugh, Lincoln continued, “Now that everyone else is gone, we can have a heart-to-heart conversation.”
He lowered his head to look at Vicky and asked, “Vicky, don’t you want to say something?”
“What did you mean by what you said just now?” Although Vicky was talking to Lincoln, her eyes never left Tyler, not wanting to miss any change in his expression.
“Vicky, you’re a smart woman, so you should be able to guess what I mean.” Time was running out, and Lincoln did not waste any time beating around the bush. “I’m sorry, but I lied to you. I wasn’t the guy who’s been helping you.”
“If that’s the case, why didn’t you deny it and even admit it when I asked?”
“Before coming to Stoneford City, I conducted a detailed investigation on you. I knew all about your relationships, including friends and your ex-fiance, but the one person I didn’t know anything about… was the mysterious person you mentioned.” Lincoln casually played with the gun in his
hand. “I was surprised the first time you mentioned the mysterious person. A person simply cannot exist without leaving some sort of trace behind, but the person you described left no trace. No matter how much I looked into it, I couldn’t find a single clue.”
Lincoln shot Tyler a knowing glance.
It was intriguing that even Old Mister Hart could not find anything about what Tyler had been silently doing when he brought Tyler back to the Hart family, which indicated just how meticulous Tyler was.
Despite acting as the mysterious person, Lincoln had no idea who the person Vicky was referring to could be, and he never expected it to be Tyler.
Noticing that Lincoln was looking into him, Tyler refrained from contacting Vicky for a long time as the mysterious man, allowing Lincoln to keep up his act.
Shortly after, the real mysterious person contacted Vicky again, saying they would take her away, and this happened right after Vicky misunderstood Tyler for ruining her face.
