Chapter 260 Jealousy
"It seems the Jensons really made a big mistake this time, losing such a brilliant heiress and sticking with that useless adopted one. Tsk tsk tsk…"
As they talked, the topic naturally turned to Kyla. They started comparing Tilda and Kyla. After all, these two people... One was the real heiress of the Jensons, gone for 19 years and cut off once she was found. The other was the adopted daughter, raised for 18 years in luxury, enjoying the best education. She was living the life of luxury in someone else’s place. The scales totally tipped in Tilda’s favor.
See? Bloodline still matters! Even if Tilda was gone for so long and never had a great education like Kyla, she still used her inherited talent to crush everyone. So what if Kyla wasn’t related to the Jensons and lived a dream life? She was still crushed by Tilda and couldn’t compare to her at all!
Backstage, Kyla watched the live broadcast. She clenched her teeth in envy. She didn’t even notice her teammate calling her. "Kyla, get ready. You’ve memorized your lines, right?"
"Shut up!"
In a fit of rage, Kyla forgot to pretend. Everyone in the backstage lounge stared at her, shocked, including Wade. As the last student representative to speak after the school leaders, Wade had to wait backstage. He was wearing a custom black suit that made him look very impressive. Watching Tilda’s live broadcast, Wade felt a deep surge of pride and emotion.
This... This is Tilda. His real sister. The Jensons' real daughter. She truly lived up to the Jensons’ excellent bloodline. She had surpassed her parents and grandparents. Facing so many eyes, she stood on the stage without fear.
Still filled with pride for Tilda, Wade was startled by Kyla’s sudden outburst "Shut up!" He stared at Kyla in shock, unable to believe it. The two angry, mean words were said by Kyla, the sister Wade thought was so innocent and kind!
Kyla immediately regretted it. Dammit! Because she was so jealous of Tilda, she forgot where she was! Especially with Wade still there. Feeling Wade’s shocked gaze on her, Kyla’s mind raced. She quickly said, “I’m sorry… I was thinking about something else and misspoke. I’m really sorry…”
She apologized over and over. Her red eyes and teary look immediately sparked a desire in the men to protect her. Even the junior student who was mad at being yelled at for no reason was moved by Kyla’s look and told her, “It’s okay.” Kyla had good looks and a nice body. Her excellent acting skills, her ability to cry at will, and the influence of the Jenson family all worked in her favor. She finally got the situation back under control.
But… this incident planted a seed of doubt in Wade’s mind. He couldn’t help but wonder… Was Kyla just now being so nasty… Could it be because she was jealous of Tilda’s amazing speech?
No… It can’t be… Kyla was the little sister Wade had grown up with. Even though he didn’t know how to deal with her lately because of Tilda, there was no way she could turn into a mean, jealous woman. She is so innocent, simple, and kind! Wade, you should know that! Stop thinking about it!
But… Once the seed of doubt is planted, it can’t be removed. It just waits for the day to grow.
Thanks to her connection with Tilda, Una was able to sit in the back. The freshmen of Orica University were captivated by Tilda’s beauty and intelligence, praising her nonstop. Una was practically bouncing with pride, standing tall with her nose in the air and hands on her hips. She was happier than if she had been the one praised.
Haha, you silly freshmen, see? My Tilda really is that amazing! Getting to study at the same university as her is your honor. You can brag about it later in life!
Next up were the freshmen performances.
