Chapter 155 A Birthday Party
When someone’s not the favorite, it feels like everything they do–even just breathing–is wrong.
Finished
Wade could understand how Dominic felt. However, he had no idea what Dominic and Tilda had really been through.
If he did, Wade would just have to admit they all owed Tilda.
Maybe this was fate’s way of making them pay their debts.
Russell walked in.
“Dad.”
“Daddy.”
Russell looked nervous, but there was hope in his eyes. “I just heard some noise in here. Did Dominic wake up?”
Wade shook his head. He said, “Dominic’s not awake yet. He just talked a bit in his sleep. But don’t worry, Dad–the doctor said he’ll be fine. He’s just exhausted and stressed out, so he needs rest…
Then, after a pause, Wade decided to speak up. “Dad, actually Dominic said-”
Kyla interrupted. “Daddy, how about Mom? Did she see Tilda?”
“She did, but, well, it went just as we expected.
“There’s no way Tilda would talk to us kindly now.
“At this point, we’ll just have to wait for Dominic to wake up and explain what really happened.”
The room went silent again.
The next day after class, Tilda headed to the cafeteria with Una.
After class, Tilda headed to the cafeteria with Una.
“Hey, Tilda! My family’s throwing a birthday party for my mom at our hotel tonight,” Una chirped. “Want to come? My parents invited you!”
Tilda managed a small smile.
“Sure! I’ll have to pick out a good present for your mom.”
Una poked Tilda’s cheek. “What’s up? Why do you look so down? Didn’t you win the lawsuit? Or did your family come after you again? Hmph! If they did, I swear I won’t let them get away with it!”
Una bared her teeth like an angry kitten. Tilda’s heart warmed. She ruffled Una’s hair. “Don’t worry. If they come after me, I’ll make sure they’re carried out on stretchers.”

Chapter 155 A Birthday Party
But the episode with Dominic was something Tilda could only share with Andy, not Una.
After completely breaking things off with Dominic, a day passed.
Finished
Tilda felt a bit better, but strangely empty, as if something important was missing.
What was it?
Tilda felt like she’d lost her sense of direction in life. Sure, she’d gotten rid of the Jensons and chased away all the toxic people who showed up looking for trouble.
She’d protected the people she cared about.
But deep down, she knew there had to be something more important for her to do. There must be something bigger than just getting caught up in petty grudges and family drama.
For now, she tried to push those restless thoughts out of her mind.
