Out of the Shadows: Tilda’s Brilliant Second Life
Chapter 168 Regret in Their Eyes
Finished
As a member of the Jensons, the cash gifts and allowances she received were amounts most people could only dream of.
On the outside, K pretended to be careful with money. In reality, she spent it like there was no tomorrow.
Her family spoiled her, making sure she received every new designer’s limited edition every season, year after year.
Growing up with privilege, how could K not get used to the finer things in life and develop sky–high standards?
That’s why she barely saved any money over the years.
ced with the outrageous price for her hired gun to get the job done, K winced.
It would cost her almost 90% of her savings.
Even if she found nothing bad about Tilda, the money was non–refundable.
She hesitated.
But now, there was no room for hesitation.
She had to find something to take Tilda down–fast!
Otherwise, Tilda would just keep taking more and more things away from her.
At Hopewell Hospital, Dominic stayed one more day for observation.
He was eventually released once they were certain he was okay.
Russell and the others decided not to tell the other kids about Dominic’sa.
They covered up thewsuit between Tilda and Russell. ir and Wade helped however they could, making excuses to keep things quiet.
The other sons, who were still overseas and busy with their lives, didn’t rush home.
That was probably for the best.
If they learned everything that had happened recently, they would be worried sick.
After getting Dominic home, Russell and ir rushed back to the office.
While caring for Dominic, they had been splitting their time between home and work.
<b>Given </b>their recent setback, thepany needed a leader.
Now <b>was </b><b>the </b>time to restore trust and steady thepany.
fin sorry, Dad, Mom. If it wasn’t for me- Dominic began.

He was curious what really happened between Dominic and Tilda. Why had Dominic changed so much?
But before he could get the words out, ir quickly fugged his arm and shook her head.
Any questions could wait until Dominic was feeling better.
Right now, Dominic was in no state to have a serious conversation.
Russell and ir left the room.
“Dominic, I actually nned a wee party for you.” K said this while attempting to tter him.
But Dominic just turned to Wade.
“Wade, I’m tired. I need some rest. Could you help me get back to my room?
Wade hesitated for a second, surprised. “Sure.”
MILT
K was left standing there, feelingpletely embarrassed. She felt like a clown that was putting on a show for no one.
She trembled all over.
<i>No </i><i>way</i><i>! </i><i>Dominic </i>actually <i>ignored </i><i>me</i><i>? </i>
Before, no matter how busy or worn out he was, Dominic would always smile as soon as K spoke. He’d pat her on the shoulder and answer her questions patiently.
But this time, everything was different.
OCH
<i>Dominic </i><i>had </i><i>changed</i>.
K could feel it. Dominic was keeping his distance.
He was paying more attention to Tilda now, just like Wade.
Everything was different because of that witch!
“Arghhhhh!”
K’s heart filled with jealousy, rage, and frustration. Wade and Dominic didn’t notice a thing.
Once Wade helped Dominic back to his room, he said, “Dominic, you should get some rest.”
But Dominic stopped him. “Wade, stay with me. I want to talk.”
Wade fell silent.
When he looked into Dominic’s <b>eyes</b>, he saw the same sadness reflected back at him..

Their little sister.

Whether they were amazed by Tilda’s talent or hurt by theplicated feelings they had for her, it all felt the same in the end.
Now, Wade and Dominic felt it all. Regret, guilt, and a mix of negative emotions they couldn’t untangle.
Wade quietly closed the door behind them.
The two brothers sat side by side. They stared at each other in silence for a long time.
Finally, Wade couldn’t hold back anymore. “Dominic, what really happened between you and Tilda? I remember, you used to hate her.”
He was putting it lightly.
With Dominic’s personality, he used to wish he could strangle Tilda with his hand.
Hate didn’t evene close to describing how Dominic felt about Tilda.
Dominic sighed. “Wade, these past few days felt like I fell from heaven straight into the deepest pit. I thought things were getting better, but I ended up in a nightmare even worse than before.”
