Out of the Shadows: Tilda’s Brilliant Second Life

Chapter 104 Tilly

Her head was a mess, which was only natural.

She led Kyla out of the backstage area, and the girl immediately broke into tears.

“Mom… my heart hurts for Wade. I know he’s not that kind of person….

“And saying it like this–it’s gonna crush Tilda.

“Just now, the way he treated me was so cold. He’s never been like that before. Mom, does he think I’m nothing but trouble too? If it weren’t for me, maybe Tilda never would’ve left…“.

Blair pulled her into her arms, brushing away the tears with a pained look. “Kyla, don’t think like that. And don’t misunderstand Wade. You know better than anyone how much he spoiled you growing up. He’s always loved you. Don’t ever say that again.”

Before Kyla could answer, noise erupted outside.

Russell had arrived–flanked by Rose and two bodyguards.

Under the blinding spotlights and the snap of cameras, he walked calmly onto the stage.

His face was calm and steady–like none of the chaos online had touched him.

That quiet confidence hit the room hard, an invisible pressure that hushed the crowd.

Even the reporters, sharp and restless a moment ago, found themselves backing down, their questions losing bite.

Across town, Tilda and Andy lounged in front of the livestream, snacks piled high–chips, peanuts, anything within reach.

They crunched and chewed, tossing out snarky commentary between mouthfuls.

Andy chuckled. “Gotta hand it to him–Mr. Jenson himself. Even in a storm like this, not a flicker on his face. Looks like he came prepared.”

Tilda smirked, her tone laced with mockery. “Sure … let’s see how long that lasts.”

To the outside world, Russell was the picture of composure–refined, steady, and the image of a man too experienced to rattle.

But Tilda had seen him lose control before. She knew the truth: he was just a man propped up too high. Far from untouchable.

Weaknesses everywhere, and one little push was all it took to make him crack.

Rose, their lawyer, was first to speak.

Her opening remarks were polished to perfection, leaving no room for doubt, shutting down the murmurs in the crowd.

Then she handed the mic to Russell.

He cleared his throat, his voice low and controlled.

“About the trending scandal today–I’m sure you’ve all seen it.

“Yes, it happened. Because of my mistakes, I misunderstood my own daughter, Tilly.

“She was hurt so deeply she cut ties with the Jensons and even took us to court. For that… the blame falls on me, as her father.”

“Shameless. God, I knew he was low, but this? This is another level.”
