Chapter 188 An Unexpected Encounter
Finished
Some of the unusual yet highly effective prescriptions Tilda had suggested were ones Rick had never even seen before.
She had outshined her mentor.
Those so–called geniuses might have been smug, but in front of a true prodigy, they didn’t even stand a chance.
There’s always someone stronger, someone smarter. Before meeting Tilda, Rick had been narrow–minded, proud of his own small achievements, never realizing how limited his world really was.
Now that he had met Tilda, Rick finally realized just how wrong he had been.
She was only 19, already the top hacker of dark web, with medical skills that seemed almost impossible for her age, and countless identities hidden up her sleeve.
It was hard to even imagine what she would be as she continued to grow.
He couldn’t help but long to meet Tilda’s legendary mysterious mentor–the one capable of producing both Tilda and Dane, two geniuses so extraordinary they defied logic. Truly remarkable.
After some polite chatter, River drove Tilda to the airport.
She stepped out of the car with her suitcase.
“This is where we part. Thank you, River.”
River gave her a quick hand gesture.
“Queen, if you evere back to Hetsa to see Professor Kerringan, just say the word. I’ll be here to pick you up anytime.”
After these days together, he hade to respect her deeply.
Everything Tilda did was straightforward, never contrived.
If a spy could fake sincerity that convincingly, River thought he would honestly have to admire it.
Tilda left without looking back.
She dragged her suitcase into the departure hall.
She pulled out her phone and typed a quick message to Dane.
“Dane, I’m at the airport now, about to board. You’d better behave and stick to the treatments.”
“Alright. Have a safe journey home,” Dane replied.
<b>Just </b><b>as </b>Tilda was still warmed by Dane’s message, a disbelieving voice cut through the air.
“<b>Tilda</b><b>? </b>

Perfect. She must have picked the wrong day to travel.

The day had been fine enough, but of course she had to run into a mad dog again.
Tilda stood, ignoring the speaker entirely, and dragged her suitcase the other way.
“Tilda! I’m talking to you! Why are you ignoring me? And what did you do to Reba? She’s losing her mind because of you!”
Seeing her brush him off only made Howard’s anger explode. He charged forward, ready <i>to </i>grab her.
But before he could, Tilda suddenly shouted, “Help! Pervert!”
Howard froze,pletely stunned.
This scene felt strangely familiar.
The airport was crowded, bustling with travelers, and security officers were patrolling nearby.
The moment Tilda cried out, every head turned in their direction.
The guards rushed over. “What’s going on here?”
Tilda darted behind one of them, her face the picture of fright. “Help! He’s a pervert! He tried to molest me!”
In an instant, every suspicious re zeroed in on Howard.
No one would have guessed that this buff man, who looked so proper, could be a molester.
Now it proved that appearances meant nothing.
“Tilda, what nonsense are you spouting?” Howard’s voice cracked with rage. “Officer, I know this woman. She’s setting me up—”
A bystander interrupted. “Officer, I can vouch for her. I saw it. The youngdy was just walking ahead, and this man came chasing after her like he was about to pounce. Looked like he was going to eat her alive.”
“Yes, yes, I saw it too. Maybe he really is a creep? Big guy like that–it’s terrifying.”
“I was so worried for this youngdy. If this creep hadid a hand on her, how could a fragile youngdy like her fight back?”
A group of retirees from a passing tour chimed in one after another, loudly siding with Tilda.
Howard nearly exploded with rage.
<i>Were </i><i>these </i><i>bystanders </i><i>seriously calling </i><i>Tilda </i><i>fragile</i><i>? </i>
This was the same woman who had once kicked a group of thugs flying, and even ttened him with ease.
Fragile? If she counted as fragile, then no one on earth could be called strong.
“You… you’re all fooled by her looks! She’s not-”

Before he could finish, Tilda lowered her gaze.
A soft, broken sob slipped from her lips, her voice rough and trembling with helplessness.
“Thank you
… thank you, everyone. I was so scared. I really was….
“Right now, the only person I can count on is the officer. Please, help me….

And with K, a natural–born actress who could’ve won an award for her fake fragility, she, as a lifelong example, gave plenty of material for Tilda to draw from. <fn1377> Fresh chapters posted on find[?]ovel</fn1377>
She’d watched K y the delicate act for years.
Even if she hadn’t performed it herself before, she knew the moves.
So when T put on the act, she yed it wlessly, down to thest trembling word.
The crowd instantly melted with sympathy. Her frail act only made Howard look more vile, more dangerous, in their eyes.
Howard was speechless.
Why did the way she spoke sound exactly like K?
The worst part was, Howard knew he wasn’t a pervert. Tilda was t–out lying.
So why did everyone believe her?
And then it hit him.
Every time K pulled the same stunt, they had believed her too.
