The True Heiress Returns (Tilda Jenson) novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119 I Meant Every Word I Said

There was one thing the Jensons actually got right.

Tilda really was pathetic to the core.

At least, she was pathetic enough to chase after the family affection that could never belong to her.

What’s so special about blood ties, anyway?

The only one who really cared about that was the sad idiot, Tilda.

When Wade heard Tilda’s self–mocking words, he suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his chest

It hurt so much he could barely breathe.

It felt like someone jammed a needle straight into his heart.

He’d never experienced this kind of feeling before.

But with everything that had happened lately–the misunderstandings, the blame, the lies, the finger- pointing–Wade started to rethink how he’d treated Tilda.

He even started to reconsider how the Jensons had treated her.

In the past, Tilda never measured up to Rebecca in their eyes.

Rebecca’s status wasn’t as high as Kyla’s, of course, but she used to come play at the Jenson Villa all the time when she was little, and the Jenson brothers always treated her and Kyla the same.

That bond they’d built up over the years was something Tilda, who’d just shown up with only a blood connection, could never hope to match.

And they all just took that for granted.

They treated Tilda like she didn’t belong, like she should’ve never existed, or like she was better off dead.

They looked down on her, ignored her, humiliated her, and were hypocritical at every turn.

Looking back, their behavior was totally laughable…

She was their flesh–and–blood sister who’d been missing for 19 years, and she still wasn’t as good as some outsider.

Wade felt like he’d failed as a brother.

He wasn’t worthy of being Tilda’s brother at all.

“Of course I care! Daphne was close to my mom, and I’ve known Rebecca since she was a kid. If she’s being bullied, how could I just stand by?”

Howard didn’t care what was going on in Tilda’s head and spoke up without thinking.

Chapter 119 | Meant Every Word I Said

“Howard!”

Wade suddenly snapped at Howard.

Even Howard was shocked to see Wade lose his cool like that.

He paused for a moment, caught off guard.

“Wade, wh–what’s wrong?”

Wade’s face flushed red. He clenched and unclenched his fists, struggling with himself before finally managing to speak. “Howard … don’t talk to Tilda like that. No matter what, she’s still our sister.”

Both Howard and Tilda were stunned by his words.

Finished

To be honest, if there hadn’t been so many people watching, Howard would have asked if Wade had lost his mind.

Other than the blood ties, what made Tilda qualified to be their sister? Please.

She was practically their enemy, a threat to the Jensons, someone they wished would just disappear.

But looking into Wade’s eyes….

Howard just couldn’t bring himself to say the words.

What happened?

Why is Wade suddenly feeling guilty about Tilda?
