Chapter 266: Couldn’t Stop Thinking About Tilda

Justin and Kayden were pretty supportive. Even though Tilda had been missing for 19 years and didn’t really know them anymore, in their hearts, she was still their sister. Kyla used to worry that Justin and Kayden might think Tilda was more important than her, just because they shared the same blood. But now?

Tilda, do you really think you’re better than me? That you’ve beaten me and can be so proud of yourself? There are things I have that you’ll never get, not ever! You can cry, beg, or do whatever you want, but you’ll never have them! That is the love and attention of the Jensons! As long as I’m here, I’ll always be the one everyone cares about first! Always me! Not you, the so-called blood-related sister, who has nothing to do with the family and only brings harm as a traitor!

However, Wade thought differently. He was just wondering why Tilda hadn’t come to the backstage lounge. Where did she go? Was it because Kyla and he were there, so she didn’t want to come? Tilda, did you hear the piano piece Justin and Kayden made just for you? Did it touch your heart at all? Did it remind you of the bond we used to share? Do you understand that the blood that ties us together can never be cut entirely? You are the daughter of our family, our biological sister! If he could, Wade would apologize in front of Tilda. He would beg her to forgive him. As long as Tilda forgave him and came back to the Jensons, he would do anything she wanted. But what he didn’t realize was that Justin and Kayden were acting just like they had in the previous life. And once again, Tilda’s heart fell to the very bottom, cold as ice.

Tilda and Una were about to leave campus. Suddenly, someone stepped right in front of them, blocking the way. When Una saw who it was, she blurted out, “Inflated ego? What are you doing here?”

Preston was startled. What the heck? Why is she calling me an inflated ego? I’m not that! Is she obsessed with calling me that or what?

Preston had been waiting outside the main hall of Orica University the whole time. He was there partly because of Kyla, and partly for Tilda. He had been busy with work lately. At the same time, Wade, keeping his promise to Justin and Kayden, made up all sorts of excuses to keep the family from coming to Orica University. He did it so he could go back with Justin and Kayden and give the family a big surprise. Even though Preston couldn’t get inside the main hall, he could still watch the live broadcast and see everyone’s reactions inside. But he never expected Kyla to mess up her performance. It was so embarrassing. Preston’s perfect image of Kyla was starting to fall apart.

On the other hand, Tilda, wearing a gorgeous red evening gown, gave an impressive speech. Confident and elegant, she really stood out. Preston felt his heart skip a beat. He thought about his plan to win Tilda’s favor and get rid of the proof. At the same time, he wanted to show that he was more attractive than Jarrett, even better than Jude! It was like a male instinct to compete. He wanted to win and be the best.

Now, Preston couldn’t stop thinking about Tilda. He wanted to take her away from Jarrett and Jude. He wanted to prove himself. After that desire grew, he kept imagining Tilda’s face. Honestly, her skin looked even fairer and softer than Kyla’s. He wondered what it would feel like to touch her.

Even so, Preston knew in his heart that Kyla was the one he truly loved. After all these years, his first love stayed deep inside him, impossible to forget. In his heart, Kyla would always come first. Tilda was just someone he was using for his own gain. But he didn’t mind having a secret relationship with Tilda. If she wanted, he would agree to make her his secret lover—as long as it didn’t mess up his future with Kyla or his plan to gain influence in the Jensons. He thought he could give Tilda a little love. If she behaved well and pleased him, he might even allow her to bear his child and live in luxury.

While waiting outside the hall, Preston saw Tilda and Una coming out. He quickly followed them. He finally managed to block Tilda’s way.

Tilda didn’t care at all what Preston was thinking. If she knew the gross thoughts in his head, she would kick him so hard he’d be in serious trouble. She grabbed Una’s hand and pulled her away.

“Tilda, wait… don’t tell me you forgot what I told you before. I really have something important to talk to you about. Let’s talk properly.” Preston kept bothering her.

Tilda snapped, “Preston, are you crazy? Your beloved Kyla is still in the hall embarrassing herself, and you’re wasting time bothering me?”
