Chapter 312 Can’t Escape the Jensons

For the first time, Amanda really wanted a mentor, no matter the cost!

But hearing about taking a student brought back bad memories for Tilda.

“Sorry, I don’t take students.”

After what happened with Dominic, she swore never to do it again.

Tilda continued, “But we can be friends. You remind me of someone I knew a long time ago.”

Very few people ever made Tilda feel like that. So she was okay letting Amanda be a friend.

“Of course.”

Amanda knew she had been asking a lot. From Tilda’s presence, it was clear she wasn’t ordinary. Money or status didn’t matter to her. Being her friend was already a huge gift.

They exchanged contacts.

A flicker passed in Tilda’s eyes when she saw Amanda’s profile ID. “Amanda Lowell? Are you related to the Crown Group?”

Amanda said calmly, “I’m the daughter of Malcom Lowell, chairman of Crown Group.”

Tilda wasn’t surprised. In Cetherland, Crown Group was huge. It controlled much of the economy, like DY Group.

Tilda thought for a moment and remembered that Malcom had two wives that everyone knew about. He had many affairs and countless mistresses. Malcom was only legally married to his first wife, Beatrice Lowell, but his second wife, Lisa Lowell, was the only one allowed to live right next to the main mansion.

The main mansion was called “Moonrise.” The secondary villa was called “Sunset.” The two wives were known as “sisters,” treating each other politely while taking care of Malcom.

Beatrice was a really impressive woman. Back then, the Crown Group grew super fast, taking over tons of smaller companies and becoming a huge giant that beat all its rivals. Beatrice played a huge part in that success. But… this strong and powerful woman had one big problem–she couldn’t have kids!

In a rich and powerful family like theirs, that was a serious flaw. Malcom never forgot how much Beatrice had helped him. They had built the Crown Group together, so he gave Beatrice the top position as the undisputed queen of the house. As for the mistresses and the illegitimate kids, Beatrice just looked the other way.

Meanwhile, Lisa was different. She was Malcom’s best helper. No matter if it was fancy parties, business deals, land projects, or tough negotiations, Lisa could handle it all perfectly without a single mistake. Even Beatrice admitted Lisa was talented!

So, Lisa was the only one Beatrice accepted as a real second wife. As for the other women Malcom fooled around with, Beatrice ignored them. She had just one rule: They couldn’t show up in front of her like Lisa did. Beatrice could only put up with Lisa! And she also refused to accept any of the kids born to those other women!

Lisa had three children: two sons and a daughter. Amanda was Lisa’s daughter! She was the only beloved daughter of the Lowells, loved by Malcom, Beatrice, Lisa, and her brothers.

Tilda had studied Malcom, Beatrice, and Lisa, and even Malcom’s illegitimate son, Tobias. But she had never noticed Amanda before.

Amanda spoke up. “You’re clearly not just anyone. Will you tell me your name? I can’t let it be one-sided, where you know all about me but I know nothing about you.”

“My name is Tilda Jenson.”

“What?”

Amanda thought she had misheard. Santiago once said his mother found her long-lost daughter, Tilda Jenson, after 19 years. Same name, same surname… Could it really be a coincidence?

Just then, Harry and Santiago rushed over.

“Amanda!”

Seeing Tilda, Harry shouted in shock, “It’s you?! The woman who beat me at the arcade? What are you doing here?!”

Tilda glanced at Harry, but her eyes landed on Santiago. Her gaze was dark and unreadable.

At first, Santiago didn’t recognize her. He only noticed the AE86 beside her. He spoke carefully, “So you’re the champion of the first group? I saw your race–it was amazing. I never thought it would be you…”

She looks even younger than Amanda and me. Is it my imagination? Something about her face seems familiar … Like I’ve seen her before …

“Sorry, I’ve got something to do. I’ll be leaving now.”

Tilda’s tone changed instantly. She said it, turned, and walked away. She hadn’t expected Amanda to be connected to Santiago.

Ha! What a small world. Even in Motrar, I can’t escape the Jensons. In this life, it seems I’m destined to be tied to them, stuck in an inescapable knot.
