Chapter 446 A Chance Encounter with Tilda
Finished
“Hmph, guess you finally came to your senses! What rotten luck today. Next time,dies, I’ll treat you to something better.”
“Oh. Ljust remembered I have something to do. I need to go now. See you, Megan.”
The two women who came with her grabbed each other and hurried off.
As soon as Megan wasn’t looking, they were badmouthing her behind her back.
“Finding a fly in the food was gross, but did Megan really have to go that far?”
“Exactly. Yelling at the manager in front of everyone with no shame at all. So embarrassing.”
“I heard her husband’spany isn’t doing well. Maybe she staged it on purpose.”
“I suspect as much. Come on, this restaurant has run in Jeselton for years. The ce is always booked solid and serves only the top crowd. How could they make such a rookie mistake?”
“Let’s not hang out with Megan again. She’s going to bring trouble. After tonight, word will spread, and every fine restaurant in Jeselton will probably cklist her.”
Megan had no idea her friends had pictured her as a viin.
She strutted into the restroom like she had just won a battle.
Megan thought about the 500,000–dor check and the free meal the manager had given her.
Humming a tune, she stood in front of the mirror, fixing her makeup and adding lipstick.
That’s when a shadow moved behind her.
Megan nced to the side and froze.
The face looked so familiar.
After a moment, she gasped, “Wait… Aren’t you Tilda Jenson?”
Tilda turned her head, feigning surprise even though she knew the bait had worked. “Hmm? You know me?”
“Oh, who doesn’t? You’re a world champion! Everyone knows your name. Even in Jeselton’s high circles, people talk about you. Some folks are even offering big money for one of your paintings!”

Sensing a chance to cling to someone powerful, Megan hurried over with a bright smile.

She acted as if she and Tilda were close friends, nothing like strangers meeting for the first
time.
As she chatted, Megan even tried to slip her arm through Tilda’s, But Tilda shifted away smoothly, avoiding the touch without making a scene.
A sh of distaste crossed her eyes.
No wonder–K’s mother was cut from the very same mold.
Megan noticed Tilda’s avoidance, but she didn’t get frustrated. She seemed to sense something about Tilda’s personality and forced a still smile.
“Of course, I’m a fan too. I saw one of your paintings once, and it blew me away.
“That… well, I just happened to bring these with me.”
Then, almost too eagerly, Megan dug into her handbag and pulled out a sheet of paper and at <fn44a7> Th?s chapter is updated by Find?Novel</fn44a7>
pen.
“Tilda, could I … oh wait, could I get five autographs? My whole family are your fans.
“<b>Please</b>.”
Megan, nearly fifty years old, batted her eyes and tried to act cute. With her heavy makeup, she looked more like something out of a ghost story than a fan.
Tilda fought back her disgust and said, “Since you’re a fan, I don’t mind signing.”
She pulled out a pen, took Megan’s notebook, and wrote five big “X“s.
“Uh… what?” Megan froze..
This was not the signature she expected.
Shouldn’t she have signed it as Tilda?
Tilda smiled faintly. “If I publish anything in the future, I’ll be using the name X. So it’s easier to sign this way.”
Megan coughed awkwardly. “Right, thank you, Tilda. You’ve really made
Tilda. You’ve really made my wishe true.”
Still, she mumbled to herself, staring at the in Xs. They didn’t look special at all.
Unless Tilda personally certified them, maybe with a stamp or something, no one would

believe they were real.
Fintatied
Who would spend money on something like this? Even as a gift, people would think it was fake.
Even with her thick skin, Megan knew she couldn’t push any further. This was their first meeting. Tilda had already done her a favor. Asking for more would only get her rejected and embarrassed.
“Hmm, Tilda,” Megan said carefully, “I think meeting you today is fate. Why don’t we exchange contacts? I do have some connections here in Jeselton. If you ever need help,e to me. I’ll try my best to repay you for this autograph.”
She leaned in closer. “Also, I’d love for my family to host you sometime. They’re all big <b>fans </b>of
yours.”
“Wouldn’t that be too much trouble?” Tilda asked, pretending to be shy.
Megan’s eyes lit up at once. “Not at all, not at all! It’s settled then!”
After getting Tilda’s work number, Megan left in high spirits.
She watched her go, the corners of her lips curling into a cold smile.
This had gone casier than expected.
She had to admit, in some ways, K had outdone her mother.
At least K knew how to act. Megan was nothing but vain and shallow,
Grabbing a bottle of hand sanitizer, Tilda scrubbed her hands clean. Just touching Megan’s notebook made her feel filthy.
