Chapter 95 Dominic's Words

It gave Tilda nightmares for a month, trapping her in an endless cycle of self-doubt and self-denial. You could even say that, in her previous life, Tilda’s depression had worsened a lot because of Dominic’s return!

This time, looking at his cold, blank face–a face that looked more like a machine than a man–Tilda smirked with sarcasm. She wouldn’t be foolish enough to let his attitude mess with her head again.

In this life, Tilda was Tilda! She wasn’t the clueless fool that the Jenson family had seen her as.

She carried herself with cool indifference, like she didn’t care about the Jensons at all. Ironically, that made Dominic pay a little more attention to her. Of course, just a little.

Dominic felt no affection for his biological sister. Just like Wade and Howard, he thought that Tilda shouldn’t have appeared at all. She should have died during those 19 years she was missing, or just disappeared forever. She shouldn’t show up in the Jensons’ world at all.

The Jensons were fine the way they were: seven sons, all close and harmonious, loving parents, and their favorite little princess, Kyla. Kyla was Dominic’s sister and pride. He had doted on her since she was a child, and she was the most radiant, most eye-catching beauty in all of Slosa.

An unstable element like Tilda would only be a ticking time bomb if she came back to the family. Dominic didn’t want to change his perfectly good life for a person he had no emotional connection to, who was only a burden who happened to share his blood. Dominic’s emotional energy was reserved only for his six brothers, his parents, and Kyla. There was no room left for anyone else.

It was only because Russell and Blair felt guilty about their daughter being missing for 19 years–and for the sake of their own peace of mind–that Tilda was reluctantly brought back to the family. Dominic had made up his mind that no matter what his brothers thought, no matter what Tilda said or did, he’d ignore Tilda and treat her like she didn’t exist. It was for Kyla and a warning to Tilda to just accept her place as the true heiress, take her share of the inheritance, and not expect more.

Tilda wasn’t worthy of anything more.

Dominic couldn’t and wouldn’t ever accept Tilda as a sister. He never thought his bad feeling would come true in the worst way possible. Tilda cut ties with the Jensons, and she also had the nerve to sue Russell, trying to humiliate the family.

Dominic would not tolerate this!

And just like that, the two groups entered the courthouse.

After arriving in the waiting room, Tilda and Andy chatted calmly. They weren’t nervous about the trial at all. They were fully prepared and were sure they would win. They had a trump card that the Jensons probably couldn’t even imagine.

While waiting, Tilda went to the restroom.

And… she ran right into Dominic. Or rather… Dominic was waiting there on purpose. He was waiting for Tilda.

“Who knew the Jensons’ eldest son had a thing for lurking outside the women’s restrooms? Truly eye-opening,” Tilda lifted her chin, voice dripping with sarcasm.

Dominic just stared at her coldly. He was in no hurry to speak. This was the first time Dominic had really looked at Tilda properly.

Tilda almost laughed. The Jensons were strange–each one stranger than the last. In the past, when Tilda was humble and tried to please him, Dominic ignored her and treated her as if she were air. But now that she was causing problems and had broken free of the Jensons’ control–even opposing them—Dominic was finally looking at her. He even waited outside the women’s restroom.

He didn’t care if Tilda showed up or not–he just waited there, holding onto the slim 50% chance he might actually see her. If it had been her past life, Tilda would have been so flattered. But in this life, she just thought Dominic was sick. He was seriously sick! It was classic, like a kid acting out just to get noticed.

“Tilda,” Dominic said in an emotionless voice.

It was the first time Tilda had ever heard Dominic say her name. That’s right. Even in her past life, when she had lived with the Jenson family for five years, Dominic never once called her by her name.

Oh! I almost forgot… In her past life, right before she died in a fire that Kyla set, the Jensons rushed in to save Kyla. But for Tilda, the “culprit” who lay on the floor unable to move, they just cursed her, wishing she would die right there. It was then that Dominic called her name, only that once. With pure hatred in his voice, he said, “Tilda, you deserve to die!”

Ha. It’s so funny to think about it now. How ridiculous.

Tilda wasn’t in a rush to speak. She just crossed her arms and looked at Dominic calmly. Now that she had been reborn, none of the sad things had happened yet. She was a little curious. Since she was now opposing the Jensons and was a complete thorn in their side, would it push Dominic to say those words?
