Chapter 297 Draw Attention


    Howard crossed his arms over his chest and lifted his chin. “No matter what, Tilda’s the one who beat me. If she didn’t have that kind of skill, I wouldn’t ept it!”


    Even Kayden, who was usually pretty quiet, couldn’t help butugh. “Howard, when did you be Tilda’s defeated rival? And you sound so proud about it!”


    … Well, what can I say? Tilda’s a genius, practically a monster. Losing to her was just something I had to ept.”


    Howard scratched the back of his head, embarrassed.


    Honestly…


    Now Howard felt like he was finally free from his hang–ups.


    After all, Tilda was now the world champion, and even the legendary “X.”


    Her identity was incredible, and she was talented in so many ways. Losing to Tilda wasn’t something to be ashamed of!


    Howard always thought of himself as a hard–working genius, butpared to a true super–genius, he knew he just couldn’tpete.


    Seeing all four brothers talking about Tilda with pride and big smiles, full of praise,


    It waspletely different from how cold and hateful they used to be, wishing Tilda would just disappear.


    K’s heart ached.


    Even though Dominic and the others weren’t here—


    From the way everyone was acting now because of Tilda-


    With all the glory Tilda had won and her identity revealed, they would definitely be just like Justin, praising Tilda non–stop!


    They’d think Tilda was the real heir to the Jensons‘ proud family line–a true sister, a true daughter!


    With things like this, K’s ce in the Jensons would only get smaller. Even outside, people wouldpare her to Tilda and look down on her!


    They’d say, “So she really was just a stray kid someone picked up!”


    That her dirty blood was never good enough for the noble Jensons!


    “Y–yeah, actually I’m a huge fan of X. When I found out Tilda was X, oh my gosh, I couldn’t believe it …I really want Tilda’s autograph, but… our rtionship is just so messed up now…”


    Trying to draw attention back to herself, K said these things, sounding sad.


    She sniffled, her eyes turning red and filling with tears.


    Justin and the others immediately stopped talking and turned tofort K,


    “It’s okay, K. Whether Tildaes back to the Jensons and fixes things with us, that’s up to fate.”


    Listening to Justin’s gentle words, K wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, her eyes blurry as she looked at him.


    “Justin. Tilda’s so amazing now… I know you all really want her toe back to the Jensons. She could bring so much honor to the family.


    “And me… I’m just an ugly duckling: I’ll never measure up to the beautiful swan with noble blood, inheriting Mom and Dad’s gifts, I’m just so dumb!


    I messed up my orientation party performance, became a joke, and when things went wrong at home, I couldn’t help at all….

    Chapter 297 Draw Attention


    Boo hoo! I really hate how useless I am!”


    D


    Finished


    K cried harder and harder until she couldn’t take it anymore. She slipped away from the group and ran off to the


    bathroom.


    Justin and the others hurried after her, talking quietly among themselves.


    In the end, they decided the gentlest and oldest, Justin, shouldfort K.


    “Come on, K, don’t cry. When you cry, it breaks our hearts as your brothers. You don’t have topare yourself to anyone, and we never thought that way. Don’t put pressure on yourself.


    “Just be yourself–stay kind, sweet, and dreamy, K. No matter how much Tilda achieves, you’ll always be our little sister in our hearts!”


    Justin spoke from the heart.


    His gentle voice soothed K, like a warm spring breeze.


    Hiding in the bathroom, K replied in a shaky voice, “My brothers … thank you for worrying about me. I just need a little time alone. Don’t worry, I’ll go back to being the old, innocent K soon!”


    “Uh…”


    “Let her calm down for a while.”


    At that moment, Russell walked over.


    “Dad…”


    With a look from Russell, everyone left.


    Justin and the others went back to their rooms.


    Only Wade stayed behind.


    Russell said, “Is there something else, Wade?”


    Wade pressed his lips together. “Dad… now that Tilda’s won the world championship and so many people are paying attention, I’m afraid the press won’t be kind to Jenson Group.”


    After all, Tilda had already cut ties with the Jensons and publicly shed with the Jenson Group.


    Even if Tilda didn’t make a big deal out of it, Wade could imagine how Jenson Group’spetitors would use the situation to stir up trouble and hurt thepany.


    Like, “The Jensons were blind enough to let a world champion and super–genius slip away.”


    “That’s just how life goes, Wade. You don’t need to worry about it. Jenson Group isn’t that easy to bring down.


    “And with outstanding sons like you all helping, I’m confident we’ll get through any tough times.” <fn8cb5> ?????? ???? findnovel</fn8cb5>
