    “At that time, Tyler had his own business, so he didn’t want toe back to the family. Meanwhile, I


    gradually grew my influence patiently over the years. My grandfather didn’t want the family business to


    end up in the hands of an outsider, so he came up with a n.”

    Lincoln’s eyes darkened. “His n was to put me in a fight against Tyler. He’s the biological son of my


    parents, so that makes him the rightful heir. With his capabilities, he could easily dethrone me with my


    grandfather’s help if he wanted to. However, he didn’t want to return to the family, nor did he want to


    fight me for the inheritance.”


    After a pause, he added, “Vicky, everyone thought I was the one who wanted to stop Tyler froming


    back for fear of him taking over. However, in all my years of growing up under this roof, I’ve been


    preparing and gathering power, so even if he’s the biological son of my parents, it would still be very


    difficult for him to rece me, right?”


    Vicky gave a light nod.


    Lincoln continued to say, “So, why should I care whether hees back or not if he can’t win against


    me? Besides, he was the one who didn’t want toe back. Nevertheless, my grandfather found out


    about your existence and decided to use you to drive a wedge between me and Tyler. He even


    arranged for someone to deliberately spread the news to Tyler, iming that I wanted to hurt you.


    “To be honest, I wouldn’t even have known of your existence if my grandfather hadn’t done that. You’ve


    regained your memory, right? So, you should know that we’ve never ever met before this. After that,


    Tyler got really angry. He barged into this house and beat me up. His actions after that infuriated our


    family. Everyone thought he acted too rashly and that he should have thought it through before doing


    something like that.”


    Lincoln suddenly smiled subtly. “However, what they didn’t know was Tyler did all that on purpose.”


    Vicky was rather shocked. “He did all that on purpose?”


    “How would he be able to cut ties with our family if he didn’t make them angry?”


    Vicky immediately knew what he was getting at.


    “So, what you’re saying is…”


    Lincoln nodded, sighed, then said, “He used me and hurt me. So, it was only fair that I returned the


    favor.”


    Vicky’s eyes flickered. “Then why did you let me marry him in the first ce?”


    Lincoln looked at her. “He must break up with you if he wants to return to the family because neither of


    your statuses don’t match. He would have to marry someone whoes from a powerful family for him


    to dethrone me.


    “Vicky, I’m no saint. All these years, I’ve given everything to the family, so I won’t let him waltz in here


    and take


    everything away from me. Letting you marry him was just a stopgap measure to buy me some time.


    “Now that I’m powerful enough, I don’t have to worry about himing back to dethrone me. However,


    I want you to know that I don’t really hate him. It’s just that it’s best for me to keep a close eye on him,


    so I hope you can understand.”


    Vicky was about to say something when her phone suddenly rang. She was still trying to digest


    everything Lincoln told her, so she did not pay attention to who was calling.


    As soon as she answered the call, a man’s cold and glum voice said, “Vicky, stay away from Lincoln.”
