The Good Girl's Revenge

Nora's casual words scared Sheldon out of his wit.

"Sheldon, you said that you would help me. It was Aubrey who plagiarized my design. Now it's all over the Internet. She is ruining me. You will help me, right?" Nora looked at him.

The corners of his lips moved. He really didn't know what to say. It would be wrong no matter how he chose to answer.

Nora looked at him. She was surprised by her performance just now. She had planned to get straight to the point after meeting him.

But the moment she sat down, she suddenly changed her mind and wanted to see how Sheldon would handle it.

This was the first time in her memory that she had ever gotten along with someone while being slightly calculating. She had never expected that Sheldon would be her first target.

"Well, Nora, I've read the material. According to my conjecture, it's unlikely that we can turn the tables..."

Sheldon thought about it in his heart and said, "As you said, this matter has spread. The public is prone to believe what they see first, so it is basically impossible to change that situation.”

"Nora, to put it bluntly, designing is just a random job. Don't worry. As long as you're married to me, you're the young lady of the Joneses. You can have whatever you want. Why care about a stupid design competition?"

Nora looked at him in a daze, completely unaware that he would say that, especially the last sentence.

She remembered that when she first came into the field of design, Sheldon recommended her. At that time, because of amnesia, she didn't even know her name, let alone what she could do.

During that period of time, she lived a life of fear almost every day.

Ever since she discovered her talent and interest in design, the excitement was almost indescribable. From that moment on, at least she knew that she was no longer a useless person.

The Joneses saved her life, and she was finally able to repay some of what she could.

She didn't tell anyone about these things, but she told Sheldon about her dream of fashion design. What did Sheldon do at that time?

Right, at that time, he looked at herself gently and said, as long as she wanted to do it, she should do it boldly and confidently, and he would fully support her dream.

But now?

He actually told her not to care about reputation, that design was nothing but a job, that she should better wait to get married and stay at home every day as a young lady?

Nora thought it was incredible how a person could suddenly change so much. Sure enough, he must have acted so well in front of her before.

She sighed deeply in her heart and suddenly didn't want to pretend anymore. There was no meaning at all.

"Sheldon, we've known each other for five years. It's not long or short. You saved me back then, for which I'm very grateful. I don't want to use this to get into the Joneses or rely on you.”

"If you have someone you like, you can tell me."

Yes, Nora didn't understand why Sheldon chose to sit on the fence. In her opinion, she had no right to control who Sheldon wanted to like.

From the photos Derek gave her, she had no doubt that Sheldon liked this Aubrey. In that case, she hoped that he could be frank with her.

He was clearly in love with another woman, but he still coaxed her, being gentle and considerate to her, and even proposed to her. Nora could not understand why Sheldon did so.

How did she know that Sheldon only hoped to gain benefits from Sean through her?

Sheldon was still racking his brains trying to figure out how to get Nora to give up trying to save her reputation for the competition. Her sudden words stunned him.

What?

"Nora, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand? Who else can I like besides you?" Sheldon said so, seemingly angry.

Nora looked at him and sighed, "Like me? If you really like me, you won't give my design to Aubrey and let her take my work to the competition.”

She said it lightly, but when Sheldon heard the words, they were as loud as the sound of an earthquake, and his head was about to explode.

"Nora, do you even hear yourself? I, how could I... I don't even know this Aubrey.”

He was incoherent and his eyes twinkled. For the first time, he stuttered in front of Nora and finally turned to look at her all of a sudden, "Nora, did someone say something to you?"

"No matter what anyone says to you, don't believe it. I swear, you've always been the only one in my heart. There's no other woman besides you."

"I don't know this Aubrey at all. You have to believe me. We've been together for so many years. When have I ever lied to you?"

She pursed her lips and was too embarrassed to tell him that almost every word he said was lying to her and that he was lying to her in the face, treating her like a fool.

After all, it was not difficult to find the information of Aubrey's prize-winning works. Every work was handed to Sheldon by her own hands, but they appeared in Aubrey’s prize-winning works. Wasn't that obvious enough?

Even without the information that Derek had found for her, through these works, even if she was stupid, she would know, but Sheldon was still fooling her.

She didn't know whether she should be angry or not, as if there was no need for it.

"Sheldon, I know you've known Aubrey for years. I don't mind if you like her, but what I care about is that you have given the design which I value the most and have put a lot of effort in to her, so she could win the glory in the competition.

She stood up and said, "I hope you can contact Miss Brown. Please give her a message for me. If she is willing to clarify it in person, I will not pursue this matter.”

"But if she doesn't want to, then I'll have to do it my own way."

As she spoke, she took the file out of her bag and put it in front of him and left without returning. Sheldon was completely taken aback by her words. For a moment, he did not even realize he should stop her. He watched her leave. For a long time, his eyes were on the file in front of him.

He had a bad feeling in his heart. When he took out the contents of the file and took a look, his face turned green.

Sheldon gripped the photos in his hand so tightly that his fingertips turned white. Before he opened them, he thought about what could be inside, but he didn't expect these photos at all. He felt like he was hit head-on

He sat in his seat, his face livid and flickering. The competition plagiarism exposed, the words Nora had told him, and the photos in his hands caught him off guard.
