Once Jade left, Sheila asked, “Is there something you’d like to say to me, Miss Shaw?”
Vicky looked into Sheila’s eyes. ‘Do you still want to be with Tyler, Miss Young?”
Sheila froze, baffled by Vicky’s words. “What are you trying to say, Vicky?”
“If you still want to be with him, I can help you with that.”
“You…want to help me?” Sheila gaped in disbelief. “Why would you do that?”
“Because I don’t want to be with him anymore.”
Though Sheila was slightly surprised, she was not entirely shocked. “You lost confidence in yourself after Gloria returned, didn’t you?”
“She is a part of the reason, but not all of it,” Vicky said calmly.
The conflicts between her and Tyler had escalated far beyond the concern over Gloria, but Vicky could not deny that Gloria’s reappearance was the triggering point.
“Why would you help me instead of Gloria? She is your cousin, isn’t she?”
Vicky smiled. “It’s simple. I know you better, and you still want to be with Tyler. Apart from that…l guess it’s because you saved me.”
Sheila moved her lips to speak, but Vicky got ahead of her. “I know that you saved me because of Tyler, but I need to thank you anyway.”
Sheila felt conflicted. “You are right; I did it for Tyler and myself.”
Since Vicky seemed to have comprehended the situation, Sheila saw no point in hiding anything. “As you can see, Tyler has grown cold and distant toward me. I’ve done so many stupid things that pushed him away…” She smiled bitterly and shook her head. “I know that even if I behave, he’ll never fall in love or marry me.”
“So why did you save me, then?” Vicky asked.
“All I want is for him to look at me.”
Vicky jolted in shock as she had always thought that Sheila loved Tyler mostly for his status. She…did not expect her to be so deeply in love with Tyler.
“Are you willing to give up on your career and even your life to be with him? “Vicky asked.
“I would do it in a heartbeat.” Sheila sighed. “But Tyler doesn’t like unambitious women. He prefers talented, independent women.”
The description reminded Vicky of Gloria immediately and realized that Gloria was indeed Tyler’s type.
He treasured the woman he loved, and when it came to Vicky, he treated her like a toy. He would care for her when he was in a good mood and break her legs when upset.
“If you’re truly willing to do whatever it takes to be with him, I can help you. I can’t guarantee that it’ll work or if that’s going just to make him hate you. You can give me your answer after considering it.”
“I don’t need time to consider,” Sheila said. “Risking everything for a chance is still better than having him forget about me, don’t you think?”
“I remember that you went to an auction with Tyler once and he bought a bracelet called ‘Eternity’ at 11.5 million. Do you remember that?”
Sheila remembered about the auction and nodded. “Yeah.”
“Did he buy that for you?”
She shook her head. “No. I asked him what it was for, but he didn’t say.” Vicky fell into silence thoughtfully.
Late at night, Tyler drove Gloria back to her house, and she stared at him from the passenger’s seat. “I’m sorry, Tyler. I didn’t know that we were the only ones at the party. I suppose I’ve put you in a difficult position.”
