Out of the Shadows: Tilda’s Brilliant Second Life Chapter 192 I’ll Only Ever Love Kyla
Jude basically had the Bells in the palm of his hand. King of Slosa–those words were not just talk.
Luckily, after the family split, they barely ran into him outside of big events. So, things stayed peaceful. Jude also did not go out of his way to crush the elders as long as they did not try anything sneaky. Daphne and Ryan would sometimes still act like “elders” in front of Jude, just to save face, but deep down, they knew he did not take them seriously at all. They could not risk giving him any dirt to use against them.
Meanwhile, Preston was at the airport, looking dead serious. He had just returned from working at DY Group’s Sirango branch, where he had spent months landing deals worth billions. He was feeling proud, thinking his talent was finally being recognized, that this was just the beginning of his rise. In fact, he was even ambitious enough to challenge Jude, the current head of DY Group. If he could perform better than Jude, their grandfather would surely notice. Maybe then, the position of power could switch to their branch of the family. In the family, only the strongest person ruled–it was as simple as that. And if Preston could also win over Kyla, that would seal the deal. A marriage with the Jensons meant not only gaining their support but also winning the girl he adored. However, his dumb sister had to cause trouble again.
“I get it, Mom. Don’t stress. Once I’m back in Slosa, I’ll deal with this Tilda myself.” The mess had already started, so it had to be cleaned up. He had seen women like Tilda a hundred times before–in bars and clubs, girls from poor backgrounds trying to snag a rich husband. He knew exactly how to handle them.
“Son… if I could, I really wouldn’t want you getting involved. Tilda’s still your fiancée. She’s crazy about you." “The whole reason she went back to the Jensons under a fake name was to honor that engagement, to marry into our family and rise from rags to riches. “I’m afraid she’ll cling to you so tightly that you won’t be able to shake her off later…” “It’s fine, Mom. I know what I’m doing. I’ll only ever love Kyla. Other women don’t matter to me at all!”

Just thinking about Kyla–so pure, sweet, and beautiful, like a delicate flower–made Preston’s eyes soften. Daphne finally relaxed. “Good. I’ll say this now–I only accept Kyla as my daughter–in–law. If you mess around with some other woman and make a fool of yourself, I won’t forgive you!” She trusted Kyla completely–she had practically watched her grow up. Kyla was capable, kind, and reliable. And since she was her best friend’s adopted daughter, that marriage would basically make the families even closer. “I know, Mom. Anyway, my plane’s boarding. I’ve gotta go.” “Okay.”
After hanging up, Daphne tightened her grip on her phone. Ryan had already snuck off to Hetsa to find their Rebecca. That foolish girl had caused a huge mess and did not even dare show her face. Today’s humiliation could not reach Ryan’s ears. If he finds out, he would probably beat Rebecca half to death considering his temper. Daphne had to find another way to retrieve that video. Ideally, she did not want Preston anywhere near Tilda. He was their only chance to take back control of the family from Jude, and his future was bright. He could not be dragged down by some country girl dreaming of marrying rich. Thinking of that, Daphne pulled out her phone and called her best friend, Blair.
Tilda, of course, knew none of this. And even if she did, she would’ve just laughed at how foolish Daphne was. After class, Tilda went back to her apartment and joined a video call with Lab Seven. On the screen, Rick was treating Dane with acupuncture and medicine. “Tilda, the situation isn’t looking great,” Rick said with a sigh. “He’s been holding on this long, so there should’ve been at least a little improvement. But Professor Kerrigan still hasn’t said a word. The strange thing is, all his test results show he’s perfectly healthy.” Of course, Rick only admitted this privately to Tilda. In front of Dane, he stayed upbeat and encouraging. A patient’s emotions were everything–once they fell into despair or rejection, even treatable conditions could become hopeless. “Keep going, Dr. Day. Let’s give it another month. If there’s still no progress I’ll think of another way.” Tilda was not giving up. This was her senior’s trauma, and now it had become hers too. No matter how much time it took, she would find a way to heal him. Chapter 192 I’ll Only Ever Love Kyla If she quit now, then everything would truly be over.
