Chapter 322 Coming Right Up
Wade hated himself so much that he wished he could strangle his own cold, cruel past self!
Kayden patted Wade’s shoulder.
"We’re family. Don’t dwell on it. Admitting mistakes and trying to fix them is the best thing. I’ve met Tilda. She’s not cruel. If she sees your honest heart, I think she would forgive the past for the sake of familial ties.
"I’ll do my best to win Tilda back. Let’s keep this between us for now. I especially don’t want anyone else worrying about what happened to Santiago.”
“I understand. Thank you, Kayden. Really… thank you so much…”
Wade choked back tears, taking deep breaths to stop them from falling. His eyes were red.
Tilda… I’m sorry. I owe you so much… At least now, I’ve woken up to reality. I can stop the other brothers from hurting Tilda further. I hope Santiago doesn’t act foolishly and do something he’ll regret forever. Otherwise, if he ends up like me, he won’t even get a chance to regret it!
Little did they know… a shadowy figure was nearby, listening.
Kyla was burning with jealousy, grinding her teeth so hard that it hurt. Her beautiful eyes were full of anger and resentment. If Tilda appeared now, even a glance from her could kill Tilda thousands, maybe tens of thousands of times over! Tilda! That bitch! She deserves to die! Why did she show up, hurting the Jensons, ruining the Jenson Group, and undermining my position as the heiress? She even made the brothers argue, cry, and feel sad and guilty… Even I could never pull off something like this! And yet, Tilda did. What makes her worthy?!
“Kyla, what’s wrong?”
Justin appeared behind her, worried. Kyla had said she was getting water, and Justin wanted to help, but she refused. After a while, he came to check on her.
“I’m fine, Justin. I just saw Kayden and Wade in the living room. They seemed to be talking about something, and I got curious…”
Kyla immediately put on a delicate, fragile expression. Just then, the living room door opened. Seeing Kyla and Justin, Kayden and Wade were slightly surprised, hearts skipping a beat.
“Justin, Kyla… what are you doing here?” Could they have overheard our conversation?
Justin said, “Nothing. We were just passing by. But… what are you two doing in the living room, looking all secretive?”
Kyla jumped in first, pretending innocence. She didn’t say she knew about Santiago’s accident, or that Kayden was flying to Motrar to find Tilda. Now, because of that bitch, Tilda, the Jensons are falling apart. The attention and favor that belonged to me are mostly stolen. I even suspect… that in the hearts of the Jensons, Tilda has become more important than I am! I have been dethroned! It’s completely different from before, when my position was absolute, and Tilda was hated by everyone, and they all wished she’d disappear! Even my expensive, carefully planned “plagiarism” scheme gave Tilda a perfect chance! I can’t let Justin or Howard know about this… Otherwise, they will surely go to Motrar to find Tilda! If Tilda came back for the inheritance, and because the brothers persuaded her, my status would be completely changed! I will be utterly crushed by Tilda, never to rise again!
“It’s nothing… I just got a call. I have something to take care of abroad. Good thing it didn’t happen on Christmas Day.” Kayden secretly sighed in relief. He made up a reason and brushed things off. Meanwhile, Tilda had no idea what had happened with the Jensons today. And honestly, she didn’t care. Hearing about the Jensons only put her in a bad mood.
Back at the hotel, Tilda was excited for the Christmas gifts Dane and Mystro had prepared.
“Dane, Mystro, we’re back at the hotel now! Where are the gifts?”
Now, she really looked like a 19-year-old college girl. One hand hooked around Dane’s arm, the other around Mystro’s, she bounced and skipped with glee, playfully demanding her gifts. She looked like a happy little princess from a fairy tale, wrapped in warmth and love.
“Alright, coming right up! Just wait!” Dane and Mystro both smiled, indulgent and full of love. Their eyes were as gentle as a spring breeze, a summer rain, autumn sunshine, and winter snow. They wanted to give Tilda, their little princess, all the beauty of the four seasons.
Manfred and River followed behind. Seeing this, River couldn’t help but sigh, “It feels like Professor Kerrigan and Mr. Mystro finally have a touch of real warmth.”
