Chapter 485 Good Life

The next instant, William suddenly felt all his strength vanish. His entire body hit the ground, and he was unable to move. He began jerking violently.

Just before his eyes shut forever, he saw a pair of feet step into view. They drew closer and closer. It was like the devil murmuring beside him. Death had arrived.

The following morning, the maids had come to the estate for work and opened the doors. They were met with the sight of bodies scattered throughout the villa. They screamed in horror.

Santiago had arrived at the office that morning. He bumped into Dominic.

Dominic asked, “What’s the matter? Santiago, you look like you didn’t sleep last night.”

“Dominic… What exactly did you mean by what you told me before? You said Tilda could take care of it herself. And yeah… William was strutting around acting tough in front of her at first. He had the guts to back it up, but then that man with Tilda just looked his way, and William bolted?”

Recalling what he’d witnessed at the café yesterday, Santiago still couldn’t wrap his head around it. He had been ready to jump in to help Tilda.

Chapter 485 Good Life

No matter how much he disliked her, Tilda was still family. She was a Jenson through and through. As the Jensons’ little sister, only they had the right to meddle with her. If an outsider tried, that was completely different. Wouldn’t that tarnish the family’s image? But the outcome was nothing like he expected.

“It’s enough that you know this much. Don’t get yourself involved again.”

Dominic wasn’t going to elaborate, not even to his own brother. Tilda was the Dark Web Queen. He guarded that secret not only for the family’s sake, but also as his last promise to Tilda.

Dominic had sworn, even after discovering her true identity, that he would never reveal it. It was the one vow he had made to his mentor back when he was still a student. Even if it cost him his life, Dominic would never betray that vow. It was his stubborn way of clinging to his memories with Tilda, even if, in her view, it was pitiful. No matter what he did, he could never undo the damage he’d caused her; not even by dying for it.

“Dominic…”

“I don’t want to repeat myself, Santiago.”

One glance from Dominic, and Santiago knew not to press further. All he could do was pull out his phone and scroll to the photos he had secretly taken of Genevieve and Tilda yesterday.

“Dominic, do you know this woman? When Tilda was speaking to her, she mentioned the family had issued a bounty on her. That doesn’t add up. If she’s really an enemy of the family, and it’s gotten to the point of a bounty, why don’t we know about it?”

Santiago pointed at Genevieve in the picture. Dominic’s gaze went straight to Tilda’s face the instant he saw the image. Since arriving in Endralsia, he hadn’t seen Tilda in ages. He had thrown himself into Jenson Group’s affairs here, burying himself in work, trying to dull the ache and guilt from Slosa and everything he had done to Tilda. But the second he saw her photo again, all that effort crumbled. He always tried to hide his broken heart with a weak layer of sadness that sometimes showed. But how could that ever be enough? His yearning for Tilda, the remorse…

Tilda looked slimmer than before. She looked pale too. When she stood against Genevieve, her eyes shone with confidence, every move radiating poise. She was aloof, distant, and untouchable. So mesmerizing. Once he looked at her, he couldn’t turn away.

So this is how it is… After leaving the family. After sending all her worthless brothers straight to the grave... Tilda was actually living a brilliant life. Maybe she was happier without the family, without blood ties. She already had people she valued and wanted to protect. She didn’t need these brothers who had only wounded her, who now carried guilt so heavy they’d die for redemption, but would never earn it.

“Dominic? What’s on your mind?” Santiago finally asked after noticing Dominic staring at the picture for so long.

“Sorry, I don’t know this woman either. But if Tilda said that, she must have her reasons. Forward the picture to Justin and see what he thinks. Justin’s still in Slosa, so he might have some information. Don’t mention this to Dad or Mom yet.”

“Alright.”

Santiago could see how much Dominic still cared for Tilda. He sighed quietly to himself. After all this time… Dominic still hasn’t moved on?

At that moment, a call came through. Dominic picked up and listened to the report with a frown.

“What did you just say?!”

Santiago had just forwarded the picture to Justin.
