Out of the Shadows: Tilda’s Brilliant Second Life Chapter 68 She’s Rebellious
“Tilda, why did you run in to save them? Do you realize how dangerous that was? That car was leaking gas and about to blow up! Why not let the professionals handle it? What if something happened to you?”
Just thinking about it made Blair break into a cold sweat. Sure, Tilda and Andy got everyone out quickly, but what if it had gone wrong? That would’ve been a disaster.
“Whether I get hurt or not isn’t your business. Stop acting high and mighty like a mother! I’ve already cut ties with the Jensons. Isn’t that what you want if I die? I’m just a problem for you. If I’m alive, I’m a threat. If I’m gone, you won’t have to deal with lawsuits or worry about losing pride!”
Tilda couldn’t figure Blair out. Why did Blair suddenly act concerned after all the times she had ignored her? When Tilda needed her, Blair didn’t even glance her way. She let Tilda get bullied, insulted, and pushed to the edge.
“Tilda! Do you have to talk to me like that? Don’t you realize how much it hurts? I’m just trying to care about you, and yet you keep pushing me away. Why can’t you be more like Kyla–gentle, kind, understanding? If it were Kyla, she wouldn’t make me this mad! She wouldn’t talk back or treat my concern like trash! If you’re so quick to help strangers, why can’t you show some patience to your family? You just got back to the Jensons, and you’re already trying to replace Kyla by taking all the attention and love! Don’t you see how selfish that is?”
Blair was trembling with anger, thinking Tilda was prickly as a porcupine. She was just trying to be nice. She even panicked when the car blew up, scared Tilda might get hurt. And that was how Tilda repaid her concern? Blair felt disappointed. How could the daughter she risked her life to give birth to turn out like that? It had to be some cruel cosmic joke. If only Kyla had been the real Jenson daughter, life would’ve been perfect, and she would have no regrets.
“Concern? I don’t need your fake, condescending concern! Also, I’m not the Jenson heiress. None of this has anything to do with me. Whether I’m patient or selfish, I’ll do what I want. That’s none of your business! In your eyes, Kyla is a million times better than me. I’ve already cut ties with you, so let her have the throne and treat her like your one and only daughter!”
Tilda didn’t care about being the Jenson heiress. Honestly, that title didn’t mean anything to her now. Every time she ran into that crazy family, it never ended well. But she wasn’t someone to be messed with either.
Tilda only spoke a few words, but Blair was left fuming, her face turning red.
“Mrs. Jenson, are you here to bother Tilda again?” Andy had finished handling everything and came over. His green eyes were sharp and dangerous as they landed on Blair.
Blair shrieked, “I wouldn’t dare! I’m not worthy! I must have owed you a big time from a previous life!” She clutched her chest furiously and stormed off. She tried to care about Tilda’s safety, but Tilda saw it as some condescending favor. Tilda risked her life for strangers, but she stood against her family. They were supposed to be family, but it felt like enemies. All doubts Blair had about Tilda and about her way of handling things vanished completely. Tilda was just a rebellious brat. Blair thought she must’ve been blind back then, even thinking of bringing Tilda back to the Jensons. Everyone had persuaded and reminded her that she already had Kyla, her perfect little angel. There was no point regretting now. She’d better get home before Tilda drove her crazy. She also had to figure out how to fix this mess.
“Andy, we were wrong earlier. Even a dog would risk everything for its owner. Some people aren’t even as good as a dog!” Tilda didn’t bother whispering. She said it loud enough for Blair to hear. Blair was so furious that she nearly cracked her teeth. She jumped in her car, spun it around, and sped off.
“You pissed her off.”

“She had it coming!” Tilda didn’t hide her contempt for Blair.
Andy shrugged. “Honestly, I didn’t expect you to help.”
“Just think of it as a moment of kindness.” She looked at the father and daughter being loaded into the ambulance.
“The man drives for rideshare. He’s alone at home. His wife died young, and he has no one to care for his daughter. He had no choice but to keep her with him.”
