Chapter 179 The Video No One Can Know About

When Rebecca saw Tilda, she couldn’t help but remember that terrible day at the amusement park, the day she lost a bet and ended up on video, crawling around and barking like a dog while Tilda pulled her hair.

It was something Rebecca would never dare report to the police. If Tilda ever posted the video on an international website, there would be no way to erase it.

The video would ruin her life. She might even be cast out by her family–and Jude would surely finish her off.

Since Howard and Wade failed to get the video, Rebecca had been living in constant fear and panic. She was terrified that one day Tilda would suddenly release the video and destroy her reputation.

She had removed the amusement park’s security footage and warned everyone who knew about it to keep quiet. Rebecca even asked Kyla and others to keep it secret.

For now, her family didn’t know what happened.

But secrets like this can’t stay hidden forever.

Tilda was like a ticking time bomb.

As long as she held onto that video, Rebecca had to live in fear every day.

Her hair was falling out in clumps. She had dark circles under her eyes. No amount of heavy makeup could hide how worn out she looked.

If she stayed in Slosa any longer, Rebecca would go crazy. So, she found an excuse to take time off and went to Hetsa to calm her nerves.

Just as her anxiety started to fade, she ran into Tilda again!

Is this bad luck or is Tilda haunting me?

Rebecca glared at Tilda with a mix of fear and hate.

But Tilda just smiled calmly; she ignored her and walked right past her into the restroom.

That reaction actually left Rebecca frozen in surprise.

What is Tilda up to?

Why did she smile at me? Rebecca had to admit, Tilda was beautiful, and her smile looked almost angelic.

But for Rebecca, that smile was pure torture–both mentally and physically. Did running into Rebecca today remind Tilda about that humiliating video? Was she planning to post it now? Maybe Tilda had forgotten about it until today.

Rebecca couldn’t think of any other explanation.

If Tilda wanted to destroy her, all she had to do was send the video.

Rebecca would be doomed when she did.

Just then, Rebecca’s phone rang, making her jump like a scared cat. Sweat beaded on her forehead as she fumbled for her sticker-covered iPhone.

“Rebecca, where did you go? Did you fall in the toilet, or something?” A friend of hers giggled on the other end.

They were just a bunch of spoiled rich kids in Hetsa. Suddenly, Rebecca’s eyes lit up. She glanced at the restroom behind her.

“Vania, perfect timing. I need your help. This is super important–it’s life or death for me,” Rebecca whispered.

By the time Tilda came out of the restroom, Rebecca was gone. It was strange. Normally, Rebecca would have chased after her and asked about the video.

Tilda was actually a little surprised. She didn’t take this little episode with Rebecca to heart, though. Seeing Rebecca jumpy and scared was enough for her.

Rebecca had even started wearing a wig to cover her hair loss.

Her eyes were bloodshot. Even with thick makeup, she couldn’t hide how exhausted and worn out she looked.

Tilda’s plan was working perfectly.

Making Rebecca suffer little by little was much scarier than just ending things all at once.

After Tilda finished her meal and paid the bill, she walked out of the restaurant.

She wondered when Kaleb would text her so she could meet Dane the next day.

Right then, Tilda sensed something strange.

A cold, mysterious smile curled on her lips.

Well, a little exercise after dinner wouldn’t hurt.

Tilda didn’t bother with her phone. She just put her hands in her pockets and casually strolled in a random direction. The farther she went, the fewer people she saw. The streetlights grew dimmer. There weren’t even any security cameras.

Tilda stepped into a dark alley and stopped, facing forward. Then she turned around and saw a group of annoying troublemakers following her.

Still keeping her hands in her pockets, Tilda melted into the shadows. Her face calm, her lips curling slightly as she asked, “So, what do you want?”

Rebecca stepped out from the group. When she saw that Tilda had expected them, her heart sank. “Tilda, you know we were following you all along?”

“Of course,” Tilda replied. “With tracking skills that bad, did you really think I’m deaf and couldn’t hear your footsteps?”

“Heha, you’re bold. I’ll give you that,” Vania Eland said, stepping beside Rebecca.

She slung her arm over Rebecca’s shoulder. Vania waved a metal baton with her other hand, a weapon custom-made for women.

“If you knew we were after you, why’d you walk into a place like this? Are you out of your mind? There are no people, and no cameras are here. No one’s coming to help you, no matter how loud you scream.”
