Chapter 119 I Meant Every Word I Said


    There was one thing the Jensons actually got right.


    Tilda really was pathetic to the core.


    At least, she was pathetic enough to chase after the family affection that could never belong to her.


    <i>What’s </i><i>so </i><i>special </i><i>about </i><i>blood </i><i>ties</i><i>, </i><i>anyway</i><i>? </i>


    The only one who really cared about that was the sad idiot, Tilda.


    When Wade heard Tilda’s self–mocking words, he suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his chest


    It hurt so much he could barely breathe.


    It felt like someone jammed a needle straight into his heart.


    He’d never experienced this kind of feeling before.


    Finished


    But with everything that had happenedtely–the misunderstandings, the me, the lies, the finger- pointing–Wade started to rethink how he’d treated Tilda.


    He even started to reconsider how the Jensons had treated her.


    In the past, Tilda never measured up to Reba in their eyes.


    Reba’s status wasn’t as high as K’s, of course, but she used toe y at the Jenson Vi all the time when she was little, and the Jenson brothers always treated her and K the same.


    That bond they’d built up over the years was something Tilda, who’d just shown up with only a blood connection, could never hope to match.


    And they all just took that for granted.


    They treated Tilda like she didn’t belong, like she should’ve never existed, or like she was better off dead.


    They looked down on her, ignored her, humiliated her, and were hypocritical at every turn.


    Looking back, their behavior was totallyughable…


    She was their flesh–and–blood sister who’d been missing for 19 years, and she still wasn’t as good as some outsider.


    Wade felt like he’d failed as a brother.


    He wasn’t worthy of being Tilda’s brother at all.


    “Of course I care! Daphne was close to my mom, and I’ve known Reba since she was a kid. If she’s being bullied, how could I just stand by?”


    Howard didn’t care what was going on in Tilda’s head and spoke up without thinking.

    “Howard!”


    Wade suddenly snapped at Howard.


    Even Howard was shocked to see Wade lose his cool like that.


    He paused for a moment, caught off guard.


    “Wade, wh–what’s wrong?”

    Wade’s face flushed red. He clenched and unclenched his fists, struggling with himself before finally managing to speak. “Howard … don’t talk to Tilda like that. No matter what, she’s still our sister.”


    Both Howard and Tilda were stunned by his words.


    Finished


    To be honest, if there hadn’t been so many people watching, Howard would have asked if Wade had lost his mind.


    Other than the blood ties, what made Tilda qualified to be their sister? Please.


    She was practically their enemy, a threat to the Jensons, someone they wished would just disappear.


    But looking into Wade’s eyes….


    Howard just couldn’t bring himself to say the words.


    Because in Wade’s eyes, he saw guilt, pain, regret a whole mess of emotions.


    <i>What </i><i>happened</i><i>? </i>


    <i>Why </i><i>is Wade </i><i>suddenly </i><i>feeling </i><i>guilty </i><i>about </i><i>Tilda</i><i>? </i>


    “Hahaha…

    Tilda sounded like she’d just heard the world’s funniest joke.


    She couldn’t help butugh out loud.


    Herughter was so thick with sarcasm, it was impossible to miss.


    Sheughed until her stomach hurt and tears started to fall.


    “Tilda, that’s enough! You actually have the nerve tough after hearing what Wade said?”


    Howard honestly thought Wade was wasting his sympathy.


    Why feel bad for a sister like that?


    The Jensons had done nothing wrong. Not once. They never owed Tilda a thing!


    And even if they did, the negative impact and the humiliation from thewsuit had already paid it all back in full!


    Wade didn’t even have the courage to look at Tilda.


    Chapter 119 I Meant Every Word | Said


    He’d hurt her so much.


    Now, even if Tilda hated or mocked him, he knew he deserved it.


    He didn’t have the energy or the right to argue back.


    All he felt now was shame.

    “Sorry, but the two of you ying good cop, bad cop is just too funny. Is this some kind ofedy routine -one of you acts all nice, the other all mean?


    “Wade, are you losing your mind? If you are, get yourself checked out. Sorry, I’m not here <i>to </i>deal with

    Now he was calling her their sister?


    What a joke!


    This was the funniest thing Tilda had heard since her rebirth. <fn748a> ???? ????s? ???????s ?? find(?)ovel</fn748a>


    And it was Wade who said it.


    Tilda never saw thating.


    How had she never noticed Wade’s gift for being a clown?


    “I … I’m not lying… Whether you believe me or not, I mean every word.


    “Tilda, I’ve thought it all through. You really are my sister. That’s a fact I can’t deny.


    “I meant every word when I apologized at the press conference


    Wade tried to defend himself weakly.


    “Wade, you’ve got some nerve bringing up that press conference.


    “You and Russell did apologize, but with the fake tears and hypocritical speeches, you were just secretly dumping all the me on me.


    “You even hired social media team to spread rumors about me, calling me petty, selfish, dragging the family to court and wasting everyone’s time.


    “And there were even worse things–people called me names, said I was ungrateful, that I’d backstabbed my own dad, and that I should have been strangled at birth …”
