Chapter 270 What Has Been Done Can’t Be Undone

It was just a gut feeling—a feeling that came from blood ties, trusting their little sister. They believed in the girl who shone so brightly on stage, the one who even left Justin and Kayden speechless with awe. She was nothing like what Russell had described.

The atmosphere in the room was tense. Russell didn’t stay long. He told Justin and Kayden, who had been busy all day, to go shower and rest. Then he went upstairs. Justin and Kayden looked at each other, unsure what to do next.

Then Dominic finally spoke up. “Justin, Kayden, if you two aren’t too tired, let’s go out and talk for a while. We need to discuss Tilda.”

Wade added, “Dominic, I’m coming too.”

“Okay,” Dominic said.

From the looks in Dominic and Wade’s eyes, Justin and Kayden could tell there was more going on than they knew. Without hesitation, they agreed. They went to Nightingale Bar together.

Dominic and Wade told every terrible thing they had done to Tilda. When they finished, Dominic drank a glass of whiskey in one shot. Justin and Kayden just sat there, shocked.

They never imagined that their family had treated Tilda so badly! No wonder she left. No wonder she went against the family. She had once hoped so much and loved so deeply, but now, all that hope had turned to pain, and all that love had turned to hate. She was their little sister who had been missing for 19 years!

Justin said, “Dominic, Wade, why did you do this back then? I know you tried to stop Tilda from coming back to our family, Jenson Villa, and I understand why you felt it was unfair. But I never thought you’d go this far.”

Justin, the gentlest of the seven brothers, couldn’t help but speak up. His voice carried clear blame, let alone Wade, the youngest brother. Among the seven, they all respected Dominic the most. He was the oldest and the smartest, because he could run Jenson Group, take Russell and Blair’s place, and keep the family together. Because of him, the others could follow their dreams without worry. For Justin to be this upset meant Dominic had really gone too far this time. Kayden didn’t speak, but his eyes said it all. He was on Justin’s side.

Dominic remarked, “What Dad, Mom, and I did can’t be undone. Tilda has every right to hate us. But you two, I hope you don’t make the same mistakes. Don’t hurt Tilda like we did. At the very least, Tilda won’t think our whole family is hopeless. You still have a chance to be real brothers to her.”

Dominic gave a bitter laugh. Faced with Justin’s accusation, he had nothing to say. He even hated himself for how he had treated Tilda back then. In the end, when the truth came out, the one who suffered the most, the one who wished he could die, was Dominic himself. He had lost the mentor he loved and respected the most, and at the same time, he had lost his biological sister. There was no turning back. All they could do was live in the present and face the future.

“I’m begging you, Justin, Kayden,” Wade said slowly. His voice was steady, but his eyes carried a silent plea. Justin and Kayden saw it. They nodded quietly.

“Don’t worry, we won’t hurt Tilda. No matter what, she’s still our sister. If we can, we’ll try to convince her to return to our family, and give everyone one more chance!”

Justin noticed that Dominic and Wade really felt sorry for what they had done. They wanted to fix things with Tilda, but she had been hurt so badly. She probably wouldn’t want to forgive them. Their anger slowly faded. Since Dominic and Wade were truly repentant, they deserved a chance. So, it was now up to Justin and Kayden.

“Another chance, huh?” Dominic and Wade let out bitter laughs at the same time. Was there really such a chance? With Tilda’s cold and merciless behavior, they had already been crushed. They didn’t dare to hope. More hope would only bring more pain and disappointment.

But… if there was even a tiny chance… even if they had to do whatever it took to earn Tilda’s forgiveness, they would do it willingly!

The next morning, Tilda woke up early. She checked the video she had posted online. It was already getting a lot of attention. A cold smile appeared on her face. She knew Ryan’s family would soon find out.

Tilda sent another message to Jude. “Jude, is this going to cause trouble for DY Group or for you?”

Jude texted, “Just do what you need to do. I’ll take care of the rest.” He even added a smile emoticon. Right after that, Jude sent another reply. “Tilda, it really means a lot that you care about my feelings. I’m happy you thought of me.”
