Chapter 42 Nothing but Cruel Monsters Russell had reacted so strongly because the one who had hurt Wade was Tilda . Russell had already lost his real daughter for 19 years . When she cut ties and walked out on the Jensons , it had been the biggest humiliation of his life . So deep down , Russell held endless anger and resentment toward Tilda . And when he heard Wade was hurt because of her , he snapped and lost control , charging in . But by doing that , he had already handed her the upper hand . " True or not , you can ask Wade when he wakes up . Right now , you've got no proof , no facts . Yet you come here blaming me and flipping my tray , even burning Una's foot ! " Mr. Russell . I'm giving you three seconds to apologize ! " The cafeteria went dead silent . This whole scene felt backwards . Isn't Russell Tilda's father ? Isn't he the powerful chairman of the Jenson Group ? Yet Tilda is speaking to him in that tone , calling him " Mr. Russell " instead of " Dad . " Is she out of her mind ? Russell's eyes bulged , veins popping . " Apologize ? You dare tell me to apologize to you ? Tilda , who the hell do you think you are ? " Since the day he was born , not a single person except Blair had ever dared talk to him like that . " Don't twist it , Mr. Russell . I already cut ties with the Jensons . We mean nothing to each other now . " You hurt someone and blamed me without proof . Now you're still asking me why you should apologize ? " So this is the great chairman of the Jenson Group , huh ? Turns out you're just a bully hiding behind power . " Damn . What a bombshell ! This is too juicy to miss ! Gasps swept through the crowd . Not long ago , the news had been everywhere - Tilda , the real daughter of the Jensons , lost for 19 years , finally returned . Everyone thought she'd gone from a nobody to a somebody , finally back home where she belonged . But what Tilda said shocked them . Tilda herself had given it all up She had cut ties with the Jensons and wasn't their daughter anymore . Has the last if ? Tilda Im fine . You don't have to do this . I don't think Mr. Russell meant it Chapter 42 Nothing but Cruel Monsters Una's worried eyes searched Tilda's face . 0 2 中 She'd stayed quiet before , too afraid of opening Tilda's scars , too afraid of making her cry . But now , Tilda had said it in front of everyone , loud and clear . She had cut the last thread to the Jensons . Una was worried about what Tilda was feeling . " It has to be this way . He hurt you , Una . Whether on purpose or not , he has to apologize . " Tilda's eyes narrowed , her whole aura sharp and dangerous . She didn't care about the Jensons anymore . In her eyes now , that so - called " family " was nothing compared to the mark on Una's skin . D Finished And honestly , Una had only been dragged into this because of Tilda's ties with the Jensons . Una was innocent . She was hurt because of Tilda . This apology wasn't optional . Tilda would get it for her . " Me ? Apologize ? Keep dreaming ! " When Wade wakes up , if I find out you touched him , Tilda , you'll pay . " Being told to apologize by the daughter he despised in front of all these people - Russell's pride as a man and a father couldn't take it . If he apologized , he'd be the laughingstock of the entire Slosa business world . So , raging , Russell spun around and stormed off . " You'll regret this , Russell . " Tilda already knew - men like him never admitted fault or apologized , even when they were completely wrong . The Jensons are all the same - they're vile and disgusting . They hurt others , throw baseless blame , and still act as if they were showing mercy . It's as if I should feel honored for being wronged by them , as if I was supposed to take it and not resist . Her stomach twisted with a dull ache . She remembered the bullet she had taken for that man , her so - called father . She had dragged herself to the edge of death for him The regret made her want to scream at herself . I was so damn stupid ! " Tilda , are you okay ? " Seeing her face pale , Una quickly rushed forward and grabbed her arm . I'm fine , Una , don't worry . Russell will apologize - he will . I'll make sure you get the justice you deserve ." Tilda's fists clenched , her eyes sharp like steel , a faint killing intent flickering in them . " Tilda , no ... you don't have to . Really , I just want you to be happy . That's all . Let's just leave the Jensons behind . " Looking at Tilda like this . Una's heart ached painfully . P P · Chapter 42 Nothing but Cruel Monsters Her own injury didn't matter . 10 Finished But every time the Jensons were brought up , Tilda would act like a completely different person - as if an old wound of hers had torn open again , with raw pain bleeding out , choking her from the inside . Who would've thought the Jensons - the family everyone saw as one of Slosa's richest , most powerful empires - were nothing but cruel monsters in disguise ? Send Gifts
