The True Heiress Returns (Tilda Jenson) novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140 Couldn’t Run From the Truth

At that exact moment, it felt like an invisible hand had grabbed Dominic’s heart and squeezed it tight.

It was like a funeral bell ringing right next to his ear.

One thump after another.

It made his soul feel like it wanted to crawl out of his body.

That tiny possibility he had once pushed aside came stabbing back, like a splinter in his heart.

The tear split open again, spreading wider, turning into a massive scar, and then…

Blood rushed out.

Dominic had wondered if Tilda’s crazy hacking skills were connected to Queen.

Tilda already knew Andy and Jude, but no one could say how deep those ties actually went.

What if she were keeping other identities secret, with extra contacts and resources tucked away?

Or maybe-

Maybe she is Queen herself.

The thought had crossed his mind once.

But he immediately pushed it away.

How could the legendary Queen of the dark web be a broke, homeless, 19–year–old college sophomore girl?

It had to be a coincidence

He must be overthinking.

Maybe Queen was already at the Cornerstone Café, and he just hadn’t noticed her.

Or maybe she got busy and couldn’t make it.

Dominic repeated these thoughts to himself, over and over, just to calm down.

Finally, he took out his phone.

Even then, his finger shook as he touched the phone screen.

It took him 30 seconds just to open the message from Queen on the dark web.

Queen wrote, “I give up, DJ. I guess we just weren’t meant to meet. I’ve been waiting for you at the Cornerstone Café for an hour now. Honestly, I hope you haven’t arrived yet, so I wouldn’t recognize you.”

Chapter 140 Couldn’t Run From the Truth

Dominic’s eyes darted instinctively to Tilda.

Then he typed back quickly.

“Mentor, I’m already at the Cornerstone Café. Where are you?”

Ding!

The café buzzed around him, so he didn’t hear Tilda’s dark web notification.

But the second he sent his message, her phone buzzed, Tilda’s phone lit up.

She pulled it out.

Her brow creased slightly when she saw DJ’s message.

Then she started typing.

Thump, thump, thump!

No way.

God, this can’t be real.

She can’t be Queen! Absolutely not!

Please, let this not be true!

Ding!
