Chapter 490 That’s My Man
In the days since he’d reunited with Tilda, Rain smiled more brightly than ever before. His smile was completely genuine, with no walls up and not a trace of fear. He looked so content, as if he had the whole world in his hands. Even the stars seemed to lose their shine around his smile.
His bright smile truly made his striking white hair and alluring red eyes seem even more dazzling. Every time Tilda saw his smile, she couldn’t help but blurt out a curse, "Holy crap! Someone this good-looking should only exist in comics!"
This time, Tilda didn’t rush back to Slosa. Instead, she went back to Jeselton with Andy.
“I have to say, I really thought you’d head straight back to Slosa.” Andy slung an arm around her shoulders, sounding all pitiful. “You’ve been hanging out with Rain for so long that I almost died of loneliness… Your conscience finally kicked in and you came to keep me company in Jeselton.”
“All right, Andy, drop the act already. Take a look at this.” Tilda showed Andy a message from Kyla’s birth mom, Megan. Megan had invited Tilda over for a meal. “Good thing you still have a…”
Based on the restaurant she picked, she was really going all out to please Tilda. Instead of picking George Madron, where Tilda had once made a huge scene before, she chose another one of Jeselton’s century-old restaurants—Jeselton Steakhouse.
There was a saying that goes, if you’re in Jeselton and don’t eat a steak here, you haven’t really visited. That’s why it’s always tough to book a table here, probably because the prices aren’t too outrageous. At least for people from wealthy families like them, it wasn’t expensive. Even though Megan’s family was on the verge of bankruptcy and divorce, she could still afford this meal to please Tilda.
Of course, Tilda didn’t rush to reply to Megan’s message. She simply texted back, “I’ll think about it.” Megan was going all out to please Tilda, bending over backwards for her. Being rich and famous really did make life easier. Given Megan’s family situation now, if Tilda stirred the pot just a little… She’d definitely go ask her precious daughter for money.
“Tilda, I actually thought you finally grew a conscience! Turns out you just came here for business! Boohoo! You’re terrible! You’re the worst friend ever!” If it weren’t for the fact that there were other people around, Andy would’ve pulled out a tissue and put on his best impression of a sobbing wife ditched by a player husband. He’d be fake-crying all the way!
Tilda glanced at the overdramatic Andy. “Why don’t you come with me, then?”
“No thanks, you’re going to deal with the jerks. What would I do there? I should hurry back to work. Otherwise, Henry at my studio is going to kill me.” Lately, Andy had already missed work for several days. He had been busy getting ready for Tilda and Una’s arrival, as well as helping Tilda with all sorts of paperwork in Endralsia. Henry from the law firm had already called him a bunch of times, one after another. The case files were piling up, and Andy kept having to reschedule appointments. He really couldn’t afford to slack off anymore.
“Alright then. When everything’s settled, let’s go grab a meal together.”
“Mm. Oh, right—Tilda, what about that thing with Rain? What did he say?”
“It’s just a simple matter. What else is there to say? Once we’re done with the Skin Organization and have our hands free, that’s the day Daphne loses everything.” Just thinking about that awful woman, who was still sitting around, waiting for the Skin Organization to notify her that they have taken Tilda out… Tilda’s lips curled into a cold smile. "I bet she doesn’t know her time is almost up."
Originally, Tilda hadn’t wanted Daphne dead. She was just a small fry. But since Daphne had played dirty, Tilda wouldn’t mind sending her straight to the afterlife. Rain was an expert at this sort of thing. If anyone could make Daphne disappear without the Bells noticing, it was him. And honestly, even if the Bells did find out, Tilda wouldn’t care. As long as Jude was there, backing her up, it didn’t matter. It wasn’t like Tilda started any of this. Daphne was the one who went after her first. If you make a move on others first, you’d better be prepared to be hunted down like prey!
“Okay!”
After splitting up with Andy, Tilda headed back to the hotel. She was planning to shower and get some sleep. But while she was washing up, Jude messaged her.
Jude asked, “Are you done with everything?”
Tilda replied, “Yeah. I’ve still got some things in Jeselton, but once I’m done, I’ll go back to Slosa.”
Jude said, “Alright… I’ll wait for you.”
Staring at his phone, Jude couldn’t help but smile knowingly. He texted, “That business with the Skin Organization—that was your work, wasn’t it?”
Tilda replied, “Wow, Jude, you really are sharp. News travels fast with you.” And that only happened yesterday.
Aside from Andy and the core members of the R Organization, Tilda and Rain hadn’t told anyone else. Even if we tried to keep it hidden, he found out way too fast. We were actually really careful about it.
That’s my man!
