Chapter 277 Pick a Sister
Justin spoke with incredible gentleness. His voice carried earnest pleading. He understood something important: regular approaches couldnโt remove Tildaโs deep hatred. She possessed the same stubborn streak as other Jenson family members. Money and power wouldnโt sway her. Threats and bribes would fail completely. Her hatred ran too deep for such shallow tactics. Only Tilda herself could release this burden. Justinโs only weapon was complete sincerity.
But Tilda couldnโt help but laugh. Her laughter dripped with pure mockery. Everyone could see it clearly.
โTilda, youโฆโ
โWho do you think you are, Justin? They feel guilty now, so what? Why should that matter to me? If I stabbed you and apologized, would you forgive me? Would you skip calling the cops and just let it slide?โ
โTilda, thatโs totally different! Dominic and Wade never threatened your life!โ Justin desperately defended them.
โReally? So emotional abuse doesnโt count? Cold words and cruel wishes donโt hurt? As long as nobody hit me, itโs fine? Justin, keep your fake kindness to yourself! Get out of my sight and stay out!โ Tildaโs icy words cut like invisible daggers. Justinโs cheeks actually stung from her harshness. Her burning rage left him momentarily speechless.
โI know you hate the Jensons, Tilda. But Iโm your brother. I wonโt give up. Iโll help you understand what family means. Youโll forgive Dominic and Wade eventually.โ Justin steadied himself and spoke from his heart. He refused to abandon his long-lost sister of 19 years. Tilda was trapped in swirling hatred now. If he gave up, sheโd drift away forever. Darkness would swallow her with no escape.
โThink youโre my savior? My brother? Look in the mirror, Justin. Ask yourself if youโre worthy. Youโre absolutely worthless!โ For the first time, Justinโs gentle expression disgusted her completely. His self-righteous, bleeding-heart act made her sick. She couldnโt resist tearing off his fake mask anymore.
โCurse me all you want, Tilda. Humiliate me however you like. I wonโt give up. Iโm your brother, so I can handle this.โ Justin spoke with firm determination.
Seeing her brother act this way sparked an idea. A playful smile curved Tildaโs lips. Sheโd found an interesting game to play.
โJustin, you want me to forgive Dominic and Wade, right? Fine. Kick Kyla out of the Jenson Villa right now. Then Iโll agree. Howโs that sound?โ
โWhat did you say?โ
Perfect. The moment Kylaโs name came up, Justinโs firm expression cracked. His resolve wavered instantly.
โKick Kyla out and Iโll come home. Simple as that. Itโs a fair trade. Satisfies your sense of justice perfectly, right?โ Tilda felt satisfied watching Justinโs expression change. This proved everything. This gentle Justin matched her memories perfectly. She could destroy him without any restraint.
โThose are two different things entirely! Why should Kyla leave just for you? Thatโs completely unreasonable! Youโre the Jensonsโ biological daughter, but Kyla is also a daughter of the Jensons. Our love doesnโt have boundaries based on blood!โ Justinโs voice changed completely. His earlier gentleness vanished. Cold anger replaced his sincere tone.
โAre you deaf? Havenโt you heard Kylaโs promises? She said sheโd leave the Jenson Villa if I came back. Iโm just fulfilling her wishes. Why are you freaking out? Scared Iโll kick your precious Kyla out of the Jenson Villa? Then why plead with me to return? Let Kyla stay the only Jenson heiress. Iโll give up completely. Wouldnโt that be better?โ
Justin fell speechless. He lowered his head and clenched his fists. โY-youโre being totally unreasonable!โ
โWhoโs unreasonable here? Itโs you!โ Tilda suddenly roared.
It startled Justin. He stared blankly into her stone-cold eyes. In that moment, his soul felt pierced and torn. Icy coldness spread through him. It froze his entire body.
โJustin, in your heart, am I worth anything? Your so-called blood sister who was missing for 19 years? Am I worth even one hair on Kylaโs head? In your eyes, Kylaโs the warm sun. Iโm just cold moonlight. She always comes first. When sheโs around, Iโm always second place!โ
