Chapter 624 Words That Cut Deep

Tilda’s words came sharp and merciless.

Every word hit the deepest wounds in Kyla’s heart.

It was like pouring salt on open cuts until she could barely breathe.

“TILDA!”

Blair nearly lost her mind.

If not for the tiny shred of control left, she would’ve slapped Tilda across the face to defend Kyla.

Sinful!

Absolutely sinful!

And yet, the one person Blair owed the most in this world was Tilda.

Why was Tilda so heartless? How could she keep hurting them–her own sister and her mother?

“If you want to lose it, don’t lose it in front of me. Isn’t this your fault? If you hadn’t come parading in front of me, none of this would have happened. Your precious daughter wouldn’t be humiliated like this!”

Blair choked on her words as Tilda pressed harder. Her eyes widened in anger. “How could you say that! You’re twisting the truth!”

Tilda didn’t back down. “Let me make this clear. You just said you carried me for nine months and gave me life. Fine. Even if we cut ties, I won’t treat you the same way I treat Kyla. Otherwise, you’d twist it and spread lies about me. But Kyla? She’s different. I have no ties to her at all.”

Her voice grew sharper. “If you keep coming after me, then I’ll go after Kyla. If she’s really that precious to you, then stay out of my sight!”

Her words struck Blair where it hurt.

Even though Blair’s heart ached for Kyla and she wanted Tilda to apologize, she couldn’t say a word now.

Because if she spoke up for Kyla, Kyla would only end up suffering more.

Theo was fed up with Blair’s endless nagging and wild behavior. “Mr. and Mrs. Jenson–didn’t you hear? Get out! Stop bothering Tilda!”

He used to respect these two. After all, they started from nothing and built Jenson Group into a giant. They stayed united as a couple, loved each other deeply, and raised what looked like a close, happy family. Unlike other powerful families that fought over money and power, the Jensons had seemed different. In the business world, their story had been told like a legend, admired by many.

But now Theo realized he had given them too much credit. They weren’t worthy of his respect at all—especially Blair. He even began to doubt she was truly Tilda’s mother. Was this the same woman who once stood beside Russell, a strong partner who helped build Jenson Group?

She looked foolish, hysterical, and shallow. Worse than an angry woman shouting on the street. Blair claimed she wanted Tilda’s forgiveness, but her actions always favored Kyla. Was she delusional? Did she really think her fake tears and self-pity would move anyone? To Theo, it was disgusting. This woman wasn’t worthy of being Tilda’s mother. She didn’t deserve Tilda.

“Uncle Russell and Aunt Blair, please just leave! Stop making this worse!”

Luckily, this was happening at Sky Dining, where the place was almost empty.

The servers kept their mouths shut, only watching from the side.

This was the ugly fight of a powerful family, and nobody dared to get involved.

If this scandal ever got out, it would spread like wildfire.

Tilda didn’t care.

If anything, the Jensons were about to get exactly what they deserved.

“Blair, please, I’m begging you.” Russell whispered, begging in a way that stripped away all his pride. “Let’s just go. Don’t do this anymore.”

Hearing her husband beg like that, Blair finally forced herself to hold back her rage–for Russell’s and Kyla’s sake.

“Tilda, don’t forget,” Blair snapped through clenched teeth. “You owe me. You’ll never be able to pay it back! I gave you life. You survived by feeding from me, and that’s the only reason you stand here today. Every insult you throw at me, every way you shame my family, every time you hurt Kyla–you only get that chance because of me!”

Her voice trembled with fury. If she didn’t spit out those cruel words, the fire inside her would burn her alive and take everyone around her down too.

Tilda said nothing.

She just stared at her like she was a lunatic.

And honestly, Blair did look insane.

No wonder she had given birth to sons like Dominic and Howard–two-faced and rotten to the core.

A dark thought ran through Tilda’s mind.

Was the DNA test wrong?

She wanted more than anyone for it to be wrong.

There was no way she could be Blair and Russell’s daughter.

She didn’t look like them, didn’t act like them. No–she didn’t deserve a family like them.

Tilda prayed her real parents were someone else.

That this whole thing was a cruel mistake.

But deep down, she knew the truth. She’d secretly tested it again and again, and the answer never changed.

She was the child of that vile couple.

Their blood ran in her veins. It was a fact she couldn’t erase, no matter how much she wanted.

“Mom? What’s going on? Why are you still here?”

Darell, Kayden, and Wade finally showed up. They’d waited too long. When their parents never returned, they came looking.
