Chapter 944
[Are you alright?]
She glanced at the phone number on the screen and a gloomy look appeared in her eyes.
It must be from the man who refused to give her his name, and he had left her his number on the day
he paid.
She glided her fingers across the screen and replied. [When did you find out?]
[Early on.]
[You found out when I chose him over you, right?] She typed.
[Yes.]
Vicky stared at the message carefully and replied. [Have you been helping me all these years?]
[Does it matter?] The man replied.
[Yes.]
There was a ten-minute gap until the man finally replied. [I have.]
Vicky was not shocked or surprised after reading the message. After all, sheâs been suspecting this
person for the longest time. She just never heard him outwardly prove her right.
Vicky stared at the screen of her phone and typed. [Iâm sorry,
but even in that case, I wonât help you.]
[Itâs alright.] The mysterious man seemed unconcerned. [I understand your predicament.]
A mix of complex emotions surfaced within Vicky. [The investments you made in me over these years
can be seen as a failure. I have nothing to offer you in return.]
[Sometimes, effort doesnât always guarantee a reward. You shouldnât stop trying just because thereâs
no immediate return. Perhaps you may believe you have nothing to offer now. In truth, I have gained
quite a lot from helping you.]
[Are you referring to you asking me to marry Tyler to keep him in check?] She replied. This was what
the mysterious man had told her in the past. Vicky felt bitter as she thought back to the time when the
mysterious man said that she was the only one who could keep Tyler under control. [That was in the
past. Itâs not the same anymore.]
[It was smooth sailing, right? Why the sudden change?]
To this, Vicky replied with just three words. [I donât know.]
In this world, all things were possible and not everything happened for a reason.
She wondered for a time if Tyler had some troubles or secrets that he could not share, and she would
not have doubted him as long as he asked her to trust him.
Soon, another message arrived. [This weekend, Tyler is going to meet a young lady from a prominent
family. It seems there are intentions for an arranged marriage. Did you know about this?]
Vicky trembled. [What?!]
[Seems not.]
[Whatâs going on exactly?] Vicky hastily typed.
The man explained. [Tyler may be able to hide things from you, but not from someone who has been
keeping a close eye on him. After his parents found out about what heâs been doing, they started
arranging potential marriage partners for him.]
[Arenât they fond of Aria? Why would they introduce him to someone else?] She asked.
[While itâs true they have a favorable impression of Aria, Tyler doesnât seem very interested in her. If
Tyler doesnât like Aria, theyâll personally find someone else to replace her. The world is vast, and there
will always be someone he favors. I even heard heâs interested in women with excellent piano skills. It
seems Tylerâs parents are keen on fulfilling his preferences.]
Vickyâs hands and feet suddenly turned numb as she responded. [What about Tyler? Did he accept it?]
[Iâm not entirely sure about the details, but the meeting between them this weekend has already been
scheduled.]
Vicky stared at the message for a long time before finally replying.
