Shadows: Tilda’s Brilliant Second Life
Chapter 508 You Need to Brace Yourselves
Especially that winter limited edition coat from Athleon–Kyla fell in love with it the moment she saw the pictures.
As a quiet and polite heiress, she would never ask Dominic or the others to buy it for her. Besides, they were already very busy on their trip to Endralsia and had almost gotten themselves killed.
Still, Dominic and the others, who always cared about their little sister, would never pass up a chance to get her something special like this.
It was the same every year.
Kyla had been counting the days until Dominic and the others returned, just so she could grab the latest exclusive edition from Endralsia.
Just as Dominic was about to speak, Russell interrupted first.
“Let’s go to the study first. I want an update on how things are going with the company in Endralsia.”
“Okay, Dad.”
With Russell speaking, Dominic and the others had no choice but to put the gifts aside and follow him upstairs.
Kyla’s eyes immediately lost their sparkle. She bit her lip, looking sulky and unhappy.
Darell, Justin, and Kayden–who already knew Kyla’s true colors–watched her quietly.
Seeing her expression like that made their fists tighten.
Why?
She was such an awful woman.
Her every move over all these years had been right under their noses.
How had they never realized that Kyla could be so two-faced?
Had they all been blind?
In the study, Dominic and the others gave Russell a report on the recent progress.
Russell listened carefully and nodded in satisfaction.

“It pretty much matches the reports. But what about Tobias Lowell? How is the investigation going?”
“We’re checking into him, but honestly, there isn’t much to report. No real progress so far.
“From the bidding event to Hotel Morloss, and even at the company’s latest targets, his presence appeared faintly, almost like he was there but not really.
“He’s a business genius, smart, super sharp, and kind of mysterious. We still don’t know who he really is, but he always seems one step ahead of us.”
There’s no way the information leaked.
Dominic had only told a few trusted friends about this, along with a few trusted assistants.
Besides, they were still just starting–nothing was certain yet.
All they could say was Tobias, just like Dominic, was interested in the undeveloped Endralsia’s entertainment industry.
And it seemed he had the same idea as Dominic.
Now it was just a question of who could do it better.
Russell narrowed his eyes, his voice carrying a dangerous tone. “Keep investigating this Tobias. If there’s nothing unusual going on, then we’ll just compete honestly.”
But if there is something else, like someone secretly betraying them…
This time, Russell would never let the traitor escape!
“Dad?”
Dominic and the others noticed there was more to Russell’s words.
His face was tense, almost fierce.
It was very different from the calm, confident man they usually knew.
Russell spoke up. “Dominic, Howard, Santiago, Wade, I have something really important to tell you all.
“You need to brace yourselves. What I’m going to say might be shocking. It might even be hard to believe.”

Seeing his serious expression, Dominic and the others felt their bodies tighten.
They looked at each other for a moment.
“I understand, Dad. Go ahead, we’ll listen carefully.” Dominic, the oldest, spoke first.
His voice was steady as always.
Howard and the others also relaxed a bit, staring at Russell with serious, determined eyes.
Good or bad, there was no running from it.
Ever since they were little, the family had been taught one principle.
“You don’t look for trouble, but you don’t run from it either.”
If danger comes, hiding won’t help.
Face it. Solve it. Do whatever it takes to get through it.
That’s what being a real man means!
“Okay…”
Russell took a deep breath.
He told Dominic and the others every single detail of what Kyla had done, how she had framed Tilda, pretended to be the victim, and caused Tilda to cut ties with the family.
Even though he had known the truth for a long time, saying it out loud still made Russell’s teeth grind with anger.
He hated Kyla for it–for getting all the love and attention from the family, everything Tilda had always wanted but never received!
And even with all that, it still wasn’t enough for her. She had to sink so low, pretending to be pitiful, deceiving everyone, and making Tilda suffer!
Back then, when she cried and begged, asking them to bring Tilda back, even saying she would leave the family herself, what was she really thinking when she said all that?
She had said it all so convincingly, without a single flaw.
Her flawless act had fooled them completely.
But more than anything, Russell hated himself for being so blind.

He felt nothing but guilt toward Tilda!
