Chapter 74
Vicky looked at Sheila, but she did not seem angry at all. "But what?"
Sheila met her eyes. "You've secured your position as Missus Hart. I guess that's the silver lining."
Vicky paused. "What?"
"Tyler has decided that I'm a vicious woman who'd do whatever it takes to get what I want, which contradicts the understanding, gentle character I've built for myself over the years.’ Sheila smiled bitterly. "All my hard work has been ruined. Miss Shaw, did you really think that Tyler would love a vicious woman like me?"
Finally realizing what Sheila was saying, Vicky asked, "Are you trying to say that I'm behind all of this?"
"It doesn't matter anymore." Sheila forced a smile. "Congratulations, Miss Shaw, for securing your position."
She then turned to leave.
Vicky watched as she turned and said, "Shouldn't you be happy, Miss Young?"
Sheila stilled with her hand on the doorknob but did not turn around as Vicky's voice echoed in the room.
"To make up for what you did, Tyler has given up on a contract that could've brought his company millions of dollars. He's been coming to the hospital every day to take care of me and, on top of that, has to stay married to a woman he doesn't love.
"He's sacrificing a lot for your safety, Miss Young. Arent you at least a little touched?"
Sheila turned around and studied the pale look on Vicky's face, before saying sarcastically, "Yeah! Tyler only asked me to apologize and didn't even ask that I bear responsibility for this. I should feel really touched."
Without another word, Sheila turned and left.
Shortly after Sheila left, Tyler came in to find Vicky staring out of the window blankly.
