Chapter 52 Nothing Good Ever Comes Out of It


    Even though Russell and ire were middle–aged now, the heat between them hadn’t cooled at all. Their love had only gotten stronger, deeper, richer.


    So strong it made other people jealous just from watching.


    ir pushed open the door.


    Honey, give me a hug!”


    “Hug? Forget the hug! Something’s happened! The court just sent this–Tilda is suing you!”


    “What did you just say?!”


    Russell’s gentle smile froze on his face.


    For a second, he thought he had heard wrongly.


    But when he yanked the subpoena from ir’s hand and read it, his fists clenched so hard that the thick paper crumpled into a ball.


    “Damn that girl!”


    That <i>ungrateful </i><i>daughter</i><i>–</i><i>how </i><i>dare </i><b><i>she </i></b><i>sue </i><i>me</i><i>! </i>


    <i>She </i><i>actually </i><i>wants </i><i>me </i><i>to </i><i>apologize</i><i>?! </i>


    If Tilda had no shame, Russell still had his pride.


    And if the news of the Jensons‘ long–lost daughter of 19 years suing Russell got out, the family’s reputation would be ruined.


    The Jensons would never be able to show their faces in Slosa society again.


    <i>How </i>dare <i>she</i><i>! </i>


    <i>If </i>it weren’t <i>for </i><i>me</i>, <i>Tilda </i><i>wouldn’t </i><i>even </i><i>be </i><i>alive</i>.


    This is the <i>worst </i><i>betrayal</i>–<i>she’s </i><i>biting </i><i>the </i><i>hand </i><i>that </i><i>fed </i><i>her</i><i>. </i>


    “Honey, look again–check who’s representing Tilda!


    “It’s Andy Saville, the famouswyer from ND Law Firm in Jeselton!”


    “What


    Even Russell had heard of Andy.


    He froze, then quickly uncrumpled the paper to check again.


    It was true Andy himself.


    “When did Tilda ever get connected to Andy? How could she possibly convince him to take her case?”


    Andy was a topwyer, his schedule packed for years in advance


    You couldn’t just fire him with money and power—you needed serious connections.


    There was even a story about a lng–shot chairman offering the man 100 million to handle his case. Andy rejected hum t and told him to wait in line like everyone else


    At that moment, Russell and ir finally realized that they didn’t know this “biological daughter of theirs at all.


    Not even a linle

    Meanwhile, at Orica University.


    Finished


    Even though Tilda had passed Shaun’s brutal exam and didn’t have to attend his ss anymore, she still had other required and elective courses.


    She had just finished one ss and was heading to the cafeteria with Una when she overheard her ssmates talking.


    “Wade took leave today. He didn’t show up for sses.”


    “So the rumor yesterday must be true, huh? That he suddenly copsed…


    ”


    “Yeah, Clive found him first and rushed him to the infirmary. His family even came.”


    “Guess losing his glory to his sister was too much for Wade. He’s always been so proud.”


    “But doesn’t that make things awkward for Tilda in the Jensons? She just got brought back and doesn’t have a bond with them yet, and now she crushed Wade too … ”


    “I saw K at school today. A huge, muscle guy dropped her off. I’m pretty sure it was her brother, Howard. Didn’t see Tilda anywhere, though.”


    Yesterday’s cafeteria drama had already been buried. With Howard and the Jensons putting heavy pressure on everyone, no student dared to mention it.


    So, the truth–that Tilda had already cut ties with the Jensons–never spread widely.


    “Hey, stop talking, Tilda’s right here.”


    As soon as someone spotted her, they ducked their head and hurried away.


    Tilda’s eyes narrowed, sharp with mockery. “Pathetic excuse for a man.”


    <i>Just </i><i>because </i>he lost <i>once</i>, <i>Wade </i><i>is </i><i>falling </i><i>apart</i>, <i>and </i><i>everyone’s </i><i>talking </i><i>about </i><i>it</i><i>. </i>


    And <i>this </i><i>is </i><i>supposed </i><i>to </i><i>be </i><i>my </i><i>brother</i><i>? </i>


    <i>The </i><i>same </i><i>brother </i>who <i>once </i><i>pushed me </i><i>so </i><i>hard </i><i>and </i><i>drove </i><i>me </i><i>into </i><i>depression</i><i>, </i><i>to </i><i>the </i><i>point </i><i>of </i><i>considering </i><i>suicide</i><i>? </i>


    The more she had admired him before, the more disgusted she felt now.


    “Come on, Tilda, forget about the Jensons. Every time you deal with them, you get upset. Nothing good everes out of it.”


    “Let’s move before the limited–edition hot dogs sell out.”


    You’re night Let’s go.


    When they reached the cafeteria, Tilda and Una got in line.


    That was when someone spotted her and walked right up.


    Tilda”


    It was K


    Her fragile huir face tilted upward, her eyes shimmering like she was about to cry. Her body swayed slightly, every move designed to tug at people’s hearts


    She was dressed in thetest lunited–edition designer clothes, her whole look dripping with rich–girl mour.


    These weren’t outfits you could just buy with money. They needed early reservations and close ties with the brand.


    For the Jensons, that was nothing.


    big–namebels practically begged to send them free collections, desperate to please.
