Chapter 265 She Didn’t Care Anymore

The entire hall went completely silent.

Everyone stared at each other.

What on earth…?

What’s going on here?

Don’t Justin and Kayden know?

Tilda has already cut ties with the Jensons. Things had gotten completely out of control.

And now Justin and Kayden are at the Orica University orientation party, not just for Kyla, but for Tilda too?

They even composed a new piano piece just for Tilda?

The atmosphere instantly turned tense and awkward.

Up on the stage, Justin and Kayden didn’t notice anything.

They were focused on playing the piano.

The music flowed like water, each note dancing perfectly.

It was like calm moonlight under the ocean’s surface – soft, pure, and peaceful.

“Tilda… w–what is going on?”

Una couldn’t make sense of it.

She was completely confused.

Tilda responded, “Looks like the Jensons did a perfect job hiding all this drama from their sons who were abroad. Justin and Kayden, who just returned and are focused on the orientation party, have no idea about everything that happened between me and the Jensons.”

After listening to her, Una stayed quiet for a moment, pressing her lips together.

“So… maybe not all the Jensons are jerks like Wade, Dominic, and Howard. There are still brothers who actually care about you.

“Now that’s what a normal brother looks like!”

Not like Wade and the others back then.

When they finally found their sister, who had been missing for 19 years, they treated her with distance and coldness.

They even cursed her and wished Tilda would just disappear so she wouldn’t embarrass them or ruin the family’s reputation.

“Normal? Yeah… I guess that’s normal.”

Tilda’s lips curved into a bitter smile.

She looked up at the stage at her so-called brothers, Justin and Kayden.

Her eyes showed no emotion.

All she felt was ice-cold.

Tilda didn’t hate Justin and Kayden as much as she hated Russell and the others.

Because when she first returned to the Jensons, those two brothers genuinely wanted to accept her.

Back then, Tilda was caught up in the swirl of family love, thinking she could win over her other brothers and parents by being sincere.

After all, they were her family by blood!

However…

When sunlight hits a dark corner but can’t get rid of all the shadows, even the sunlight becomes tainted.

Just like Blair, their kindness toward Tilda only tied her down to the Jensons and made her life miserable.

Their kindness only showed up when Kyla wasn’t around.

Whenever Kyla was involved, anything related to Kyla, Tilda would be pushed aside.

Kyla was always the most important sister to Justin and Kayden.

Tilda was just a replaceable spare, nothing more.

Just like at this orientation party.

Kyla would always come first.

Tilda would always come later.

In her previous life, Tilda tried to follow what her family called “good advice.”

Don’t try to compete with Kyla.

Kyla was the younger, adopted sister. Her feelings were already sensitive and fragile.

Tilda coming back only made things harder.

Kyla could always act sweet and friendly to welcome Tilda to the Jensons, always speaking up for herself.

So, just being able to get little attention from Justin and Kayden was already lucky for her.

She couldn’t expect more than what didn’t belong to her.

Kyla had lived with the Jensons for 18 years.

Even without blood ties, that kind of time together couldn’t be erased.

Tilda might be their biological family, but after losing so many years, things were bound to be distant.

So, Tilda kept swallowing her pride.

And let Kyla walk all over her.

Even Justin and Kayden, who originally wanted to treat Tilda well, slowly grew distant. They looked down on her and doubted everything she did.

This lifetime, Tilda didn’t care anymore.

Let Justin and Kayden spoil whoever they wanted, put whoever they wanted first.

Treat me like a spare?

Hah!

I wasn’t joining this ridiculous game anymore!

“Let’s go, Una.”

Tilda put her hands in her pockets, turned around, and walked out of the hall.

“Huh? Tilda?”

Una froze for a moment.

She felt like Tilda seemed a little different.

But Una was her best friend.

She could feel it.

Even if Justin and Kayden weren’t as bad as the other jerks at the Jensons, Tilda wasn’t going to forgive them.

Things could never go back to the way they were.

So, Una quietly followed Tilda outside.

The song finished.

Kyla watched the live broadcast.

She bit her lip.

Her eyes flickered with unease.

She figured it out, too.

Justin and Kayden probably still didn’t know that Tilda had cut ties with the Jensons, that things had gotten completely out of control.

Back when Blair said she wanted to find Tilda and bring her back, Justin and Kayden were pretty supportive.
