Chapter 44 Make Russell Apologize to Una By common sense , someone like Howard - with his huge body , wide shoulders , and scary " don't mess with me " look - was exactly the kind of guy Una should've avoided . But for Tilda , Una was willing to risk it all . " Sorry , Tilda . Dad really lost it earlier , but please understand . He was just too worried about Wade . " Tilda stared at Howard as if she'd seen a ghost . Even Una's face showed pure shock . Howard . The same Howard who used to explode like a volcano , who once called Tilda a thief , who had no problem shaming her in front of strangers and tearing her down in public ... Today , he's apologizing to Tilda ? And so calmly , without a single trace of that usual fiery temper ? It's as if he'd been replaced by someone else . He doesn't even seem like the Howard I remember . " I know you're shocked . That day , I lost control . I blamed you for something you didn't do . " And yeah - I do feel guilty about it . My temper's bad , sure , but I'm not blind or brain - dead . " Howard's jaw tightened . The way Tilda was staring at him - it was as if she thought he was some dumb muscle - head , running only on anger , punching first and thinking never .. But that wasn't true . If Howard was really that kind of idiot , how could he have graduated early from the sports academy , smashed every record in history , and built a name for himself on the brutal world stage of WWE ? No , he wasn't stupid . He'd just snapped back then because it was about Kyla - the sister he adored , his fragile little princess . That was the only reason . " Heh ... " Tilda let out a sharp , mocking laugh . Not blind or brain - dead ? That's the funniest thing I've ever heard . To Tilda , every single Jenson was rotten past saving . Calling them blind and brain - dead was being nice . Their hearts were poisoned , eaten up by something dark . How else could they treat their real little sister with such cruelty ? How else could they toss her aside , while drowning Kyla - the pampered , precious , foster daughter - in endless love and protection ? Their choice came with a cost . And that cost was her - her body , her spirit , her dignity . They humiliated her , broke her . pushed her into depression , drove her again and again to the edge of hurting herself , even ending it all . " I get it , you don't like me , Tilda But I don't live for your approval . I apologized because it's the right thing to do , not because 2 D Chapter 44 Make Russell Apologize to Una I need your forgiveness . " I won't disgrace the honor I've worked for , or betray the teammates who trust me . Wrong is wrong , and I'll admit it . " Howard's eyes flicked to Una's foot , where the burn still showed . " Una , on behalf of my father . I apologize to you . As for payback , just name your price . We can settle this privately . " Howard truly thought this was the best way to calm both Una and Tilda . It was impossible for Russell to apologize . Finished Russell - the mighty , untouchable chairman of Jenson Group - was like a raging bull when angry . Once he snapped , nothing on earth could pull him back . Not even his seven sons . Not even Kyla . Only Blair sometimes managed . The rest of them had all learned : When Russell exploded , you stepped aside . Because he wasn't just a dad - he was their ruler , their ceiling , their cage . He valued the Jenson name above everything . He'd survived storms others couldn't dream of , rarely ever losing control . But this time ? Seeing his youngest son unconscious . feeling family safety on the line , hatred for Tilda boiling over - that had pushed him past reason . So the answer , as always , was simple : money . As long as the cash was enough , problems like this could be wiped away . Una hesitated , lips parting . She hated Howard , wanted to run far , far away from him . But still , she wanted this whole mess over . She wanted peace . Most of all , she didn't want Tilda dragged into the Jensons ' fire again . She didn't want her best friend hurt anymore . She was already deeply moved that Tilda had stood up for her , demanding Russell's apology directly . That alone was enough . Still ... " Settle ? No way ! " Howard , who do you think you are ? Your apology means nothing ! " Tell Russell to come apologize to Una himself , or I'll never forgive any of you ! " Tilda's rejection was fast , sharp , and final . " What . Tilda , I get that you're mad , but enough is enough ! " You know that getting Dad to apologize is impossible ! You know his temper ! " He's the chairman of Jenson Group , stubborn as a mule , and once his mind's made up , nothing changes it ! " Howard hadn't expected Tilda to be this stubborn Even though he felt guilty , anger burned hot in his chest . " Then watch closely , because I will make Russell apologize to Una ! " Just because you don't have the power doesn't mean I don't . Una , let's go ! Russell's tantrum had already killed the mood . Tilda didn't care about finishing her food . Chapter 44 Make Russell Apologize to Una She grabbed Una's hand and stormed out of the cafeteria . " Tilda , you'll regret this ! You really think you can go against Dad and walk away unharmed ?
