Chapter 249
âMiss Shaw, this is one of the actresses in the cast, Miss Maria Sparks. She had other schedules
earlier on and couldnât join the filming until now.â
Based on the staffâs attitude toward Maria, Vicky figured that Maria only managed to be cast because
she brought in investors.
Though Tyler was the movieâs biggest investor, he was not the only one.
It was not that Tyler could not afford it, as he could easily spend billions without batting an eyelash.
However, the business and finance world have evolved and connections have become far more
important than money itself.
It would be best for everyone if no one tried to take over everything. Hence, there were also a few other
investors supporting the movie apart from Tyler.
âOh, my. Miss Vicky Shaw!â Maria was not at all surprised but exclaimed regardless. 1
The staff looked back and forth between Vicky and Maria. âMiss Sparks, do you know Miss Shaw?â
âOf course.â Maria smiled. âMiss Shaw was all over the news in recent days, so how could I not know
her?â She waved her hand at the staff and said, âYou may go. I want to talk to Miss Shaw about work.â
The staff nodded and left.
As soon as he was gone, Maria scanned Vicky from head to toe with a smirk. âThe crew are practically
worshiping Sheila Young but show no respect for you. Looks likeâ¦they donât know that youâre Tylerâs
wife, do they?â
Vicky ignored her expressionlessly.
Maria sighed dramatically. âYouâre pretty much the only missus of a wealthy man being treated like a
commoner. Meanwhile, Sheila is having the best time being fawned over by the crew⦠People who
donât know the truth might just think that sheâs Tylerâs wife.â
âIf you donât have anything important to discuss, I need to get back to work, Miss Sparks,â Vicky said
coldly.
Maria looked at her. âVicky, I know that you hate that hypocritic wh*re⦠I donât like her either. She
keeps acting all innocent when deep down, sheâs just a vicious, manipulative woman.â Maria lowered
her voice and continued, âWhy donât we work together and teach her a lesson? What do you think?â
Vicky hated Sheila, but she also despised Maria, so she said, âIâm not interested.â
Maria did not expect Vicky to turn her down.
Not long ago, she sought to team up with Sheila and was turned down as well.
Since Sheila was the center of all of Tylerâs attention at the moment, it made sense that Sheila saw no
need in partnering with Maria. However, Vicky must have felt helpless and resentful toward Sheila.
Still, she had rejected Mariaâs proposal.
Furious, Maria gritted her teeth. âVicky Shaw, Sheila is becoming the boss of you, and you arenât at
least angry? What happened to the Vicky that stood up to me?â
Vicky refused to respond.
âDo you know what rumor is going around right now? They said that you didnât get to seduce Charlie,
so youâve now turned your target to Tyler instead. They said that you took advantage of Sheilaâs
absence and went to knock on Tylerâs door, shamelessly waiting for him to open the door for you. Vicky
Shaw, you are the official Missus Hart, yet youâre living like a sewer rat that has to hide in the dark. Are
you okay with this?!â Maria roared in frustration.
Vicky finally met her eyes and sneered. âOnce we get Sheila out of the picture, what then? Iâm going to
be next, right? Or are you waiting for me and Sheila to fight it out so you can take advantage of that
and blame everything on me?â
Maria tensed at how spot-on Vicky was. She had not expected Vicky to see right through her scheme
and realized that Sheila might have rejected her for the same reason.
Sheila might be a hypocrite, but she had not dared to be rude with Maria, whereas Vicky had
challenged her.
âYou should be ashamed of yourself. Who do you think you are?!â Maria glared daggers at Vicky. âVicky
Shaw, Iâm going to make you regret this.â With that, Maria turned and strode off proudly.
