Chapter 372

Tyler put down his glass and got up from the couch. " There's something I might need your helpwith."

"What is it?" I asked curiously.

What could he need my help with?

Tyler smiled slightly. "I want to acquire a company called Magnificent Entertainment, but Theo isinterested in acquiring it as well. I want you to help m e by convincing him to give it up. I'll save a lotof money that way, and most importantly, the company will belong to you."

I frowned, not understanding what he meant. "It will belong to me?"

Tyler bent down and leaned closer toward me. "A gift for you."

"I don’t..." I instinctively tried to refuse, but Tyler put his index finger on my lips and said, "Norefusing. Do you still want to get your revenge?”

Tyler did not give me a chance to speak as he continued saying, "You would have found out aboutthis sooner or later, anyway. Carlson and Yvonne Schumann are my aunt and uncle. Why do youthink they’ve always been so interested in adopting you as their goddaughter? It's because I'vementioned you to

them.” "What?” I was shocked.

Carlson and Yvonne were his uncle and aunt?

"You'll receive a lot of attention from different business sectors when your name is added to thefamily tree. There will be a lot of nasty comments waiting for you if you don’t have some assets toyour name. If you acquire Magnificent Entertainment on behalf of Magnificent Pictures, I'm sure I

don't need to elaborate on how their perception of your abilities will change.” Tyler stroked my face."Listen to me. I've already arranged everything for you, and all you need t o do is accept it."

"You...” I did not know what to say in response.

How much had he done for me while I was not paying attention?

Tyler straightened back up and raised an eyebrow as h e asked, "Feeling touched?"

"A little bit,” I replied honestly.

"Then, do I get any reward?" Tyler was beginning to go overboard.

I frowned slightly. "What reward do you want?”

Worried that he would make unreasonable demands, I hurriedly added on, "I’m telling you ahead oftime that I won't give you anything that's too unreasonable." "You think of one," Tyler said as henarrowed his eyes slightly. "I want something that you've put thought into."

I was speechless.

Could I take back what I had said?

So troublesome.

It was two in the morning when I returned to the mansion.

Miss Woods was lying on the couch in the living room. She hurriedly sat up when she noticed I hadreturned. "Young Mistress, you're back."

I nodded. "Why aren’t you in bed yet?"

Miss Woods sighed softly. "You and the Young Master went out one after the other with uglyexpressions on your faces. I was so worried I couldn't fall asleep.”

I pursed my lips and did not say anything.

"It's cold out in the middle of the night. I'll boil you some warm water to drink before you headupstairs," Miss Woods said as she walked toward the kitchen.

"No need for that." I hurriedly stopped her. "I’m feeling sleepy, and I want to head up to bed as soonas possible. You should go to bed too.”

Miss Woods opened her mouth to say something but decided not to in the end.

I knew she wanted to ask about what was happening between Theo and me, but I did not feel liketelling her. After all, she was considered one of the Grant family's people. Even if I poured my heartout to her, she would not be able to completely see things from m y perspective.

When I went upstairs into the room, I sat on the bed and stared into space for a while beforewalking into the bathroom to take a warm bath. The months were growing colder, and it was chillyoutside at night to the point that my body still felt cold right then.

After finishing my bath, I put on my pajamas and walked out the door to look down the stairs. Myattention drifted away from me.

Theo had still not returned. Did he not plan on returning tonight?

Where had he gone? Had he gone looking for Cindy?

I grabbed my hair in frustration and said angrily," Who cares who he's gone looking for?"

Had I not already decided... that I was not going to love him anymore?
