Chapter 497
Once Jade left, Sheila asked, âIs there something youâd like to say to me, Miss Shaw?â
Vicky looked into Sheilaâs eyes. âDo you still want to be with Tyler, Miss Young?â
Sheila froze, baffled by Vickyâs words. âWhat are you trying to say, Vicky?â
âIf you still want to be with him, I can help you with that.â
âYouâ¦want to help me?â Sheila gaped in disbelief. âWhy would you do that?â
âBecause I donât want to be with him anymore.â
Though Sheila was slightly surprised, she was not entirely shocked. âYou lost confidence in yourself
after Gloria returned, didnât you?â
âShe is a part of the reason, but not all of it,â Vicky said calmly.
The conflicts between her and Tyler had escalated far beyond the concern over Gloria, but Vicky could
not deny that Gloriaâs reappearance was the triggering point.
âWhy would you help me instead of Gloria? She is your cousin, isnât she?â
Vicky smiled. âItâs simple. I know you better, and you still want to be with Tyler. Apart from thatâ¦l guess
itâs because you saved me.â
Sheila moved her lips to speak, but Vicky got ahead of her. âI know that you saved me because of
Tyler, but I need to thank you anyway.â
Sheila felt conflicted. âYou are right; I did it for Tyler and myself.â
Since Vicky seemed to have comprehended the situation, Sheila saw no point in hiding anything. âAs
you can see, Tyler has grown cold and distant toward me. Iâve done so many stupid things that pushed
him awayâ¦â She smiled bitterly and shook her head. âI know that even if I behave, heâll never fall in
love or marry me.â
âSo why did you save me, then?â Vicky asked.
âAll I want is for him to look at me.â
Vicky jolted in shock as she had always thought that Sheila loved Tyler mostly for his status. Sheâ¦did
not expect her to be so deeply in love with Tyler.
âAre you willing to give up on your career and even your life to be with him? âVicky asked.
âI would do it in a heartbeat.â Sheila sighed. âBut Tyler doesnât like unambitious women. He prefers
talented, independent women.â
The description reminded Vicky of Gloria immediately and realized that Gloria was indeed Tylerâs 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.
âIf youâre truly willing to do whatever it takes to be with him, I can help you. I canât guarantee that itâll
work or if thatâs going just to make him hate you. You can give me your answer after considering it.â
âI donât need time to consider,â Sheila said. âRisking everything for a chance is still better than having
him forget about me, donât you think?â
âI remember that you went to an auction with Tyler once and he bought a bracelet called âEternityâ at
11.5 million. Do you remember that?â
Sheila remembered about the auction and nodded. âYeah.â
âDid he buy that for you?â
She shook her head. âNo. I asked him what it was for, but he didnât say.â Vicky fell into silence
thoughtfully.
Late at night, Tyler drove Gloria back to her house, and she stared at him from the passengerâs seat.
âIâm sorry, Tyler. I didnât know that we were the only ones at the party. I suppose Iâve put you in a
difficult position.â
