The True Heiress Returns (Tilda Jenson) novel Chapter 158

Chapter 158 Out of Character

Anyone who saw Jude’s face right now would probably think the world was ending.

Otherwise, why would Jude be making such a scary expression?

Just then, Vassal walked in, sounding both cheerful and respectful.

“Boss, we just signed the big deal–billions of dollars! Everyone’s talking about throwing a party to celebrate. Are you coming?”

On the surface, Vassal was just Jude’s bodyguard and all–around assistant on business trips.

But behind the scenes, he’d help Jude with pretty much anything, even cleaning up messes when things got out of hand.

This time, Jude had come all the way to Lucien just for this deal.

The Lucien branch had been struggling for a while. When Jude showed up and took charge, things finally worked out.

Vassal happened to see Jude’s smile at that very moment.

His first reaction?

Am I seeing this right?

He even rubbed his eyes just to check.

Wait–no way! The boss is smiling!

Jude put away his phone and said calmly, “I’ll join the party.”

“Hmm, I’ll let everyone know. Wait, Boss, did you say you’ll join?”

“Are you deaf?” Jude shot Vassal a cold look.

Vassal instantly felt a chill run down his back; his back broke out in sweat. He lowered his head and stammered, “No–no! If the team finds out you’re coming, everyone will be thrilled!”

He hurried out of the office like he was running for his life. Vassal’s heart was still racing, and his brain was reeling in disbelief.

Jude Bell… actually agreed to come to a celebration party?

This is a first!

No matter how big the deals their company closed or how much money they made, Jude had never attended any celebration parties.

In Vassal’s memory, Jude only ever accepted invitations from Alfie or Maurice once in a while.

What in the world happened to put my boss in such a good mood?

Meanwhile, Clive was still sneaking around. He was secretly recording Tilda.

“Hey, Wade, Tilda’s talking to someone. She actually looks pretty happy… not so cold and distant anymore.”

“I know,” Wade replied, his voice sounding sour.

Wade didn’t even need Clive’s live updates.

Through the video feed, he could sense everything. Wade’s voice was laced with obvious jealousy.

Clive fell silent for a moment, almost doubting his own senses.

Am I just imagining it?

Why do I get a feeling that Wade is actually jealous?

The world hasn’t collapsed, has it?

Seriously? My super–expensive titanium phone broke that easily? Total scam!

Una wasted no time. She complained, “Tilda, he’s being a total creep! Hiding here and filming you. He’s gross!”

Hey, Una, don’t throw away baseless accusations! I wasn’t recording anyone!” Clive insisted.
