Chapter 1213
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 men so quickly.” He pointed his gun back at Vicky’s head. “Vicky, for me to leave here alive, you’ll have to endure a little discomfort.”
Tyler’s voice turned cold. “Release Vicky, and I’ll let you walk away in one piece.”
Lincoln smiled warmly. “Sorry, but I don’t trust you.”
Tyler’s expression darkened, and he was about to step forward when Lincoln continued, “I don’t want to harm Vicky…” Lincoln wore a gentle smile, yet his gaze was merciless. “But if you don’t care about Vicky’s safety, don’t blame me for not caring as well.”
Despite being in the wrong, Lincoln had always been able to shift all the blame onto others.
Tyler tensed and refrained from moving recklessly.
Lincoln narrowed his eyes cunningly.
Had he not discovered Tyler’s divorce from Vicky was a sham, he would have thought Tyler’s actions were driven by nothing more than resentment and revenge against her.
However, it seemed that Vicky was incredibly important to him.
Vicky was still Tyler’s Achilles’ heel after all these years, and with such an obvious weakness, Tyler could not win against Lincoln.
Lincoln held Vicky hostage and walked toward the door, and he remained vigilant as he walked past Tyler.
Although he had a gun, he could not be sure if Tyler would suddenly act as this was his only chance to snatch Vicky from Lincoln’s grasp.
Despite the gun being pointed at Vicky, Tyler did not hesitate or back down.
In that fleeting moment, Tyler made his move.
Instead of immediately trying to free Vicky, he first attempted to disarm Lincoln, as taking the gun away was the only way to ensure that Vicky’s life was out of harm’s way.novelbin
