Chapter 167 The Last Straw
Just like how Tilda once protected Dominic and cleaned up his mess. The history just repeated itself.
“Tilda… why?
“It hasn’t even been that long. You used to hate me so much. You were so cold, badly injured …
“But now you’ve already found a new mentee? Then… what am I supposed to be?
“You once told me I’d be your only mentee, that you’d never find anyone better than me.

“Did you forget everything we shared together? Was it all fake? Before we became enemies you said things you can’t just take back.”
Dominic was overcome with an impulse.
He wanted to burst out of the hospital, find Tilda, and demand answers.
Tilda, you can’t do this to me….
What you have done is too much. You broke my heart–so, so bad.
Even the phrase “worse than death” couldn’t describe the pain Dominic was feeling now.
The next morning, Tilda woke up feeling refreshed, like she’d finally found herself again.
Even her nightmares had stopped for once.
She picked up the artwork she’d spent two hours finishing last night and packed it up carefully.
Then she drove straight to the university.
She’d already scheduled an appointment with Simon to deliver the painting.
Simon couldn’t wait to open the package.
The moment he saw the new painting, he was speechless.
He didn’t even breathe for a while. It took him a long time to snap out of it.
“Oh wow, Tilda! When I saw your first version, I thought it was already amazing. But this new one? It’s even more stunning; nothing could top it. Honestly, I think you’ve already got the champion in the bag. Now let’s just see if you can stand out on the world stage.”
“Thank you, Professor,” Tilda replied, smiling.
She said goodbye and hurried off to class. Simon stayed behind to admire the artwork.
That’s when his phone rang.

Chapter 167 The Last Straw
It was Kyla calling.
“Hello? Kyla, what’s up?“.
Finished
“Professor Linscott, sorry to bother you. My brother’s been in the hospital, and I’ve been looking after him. I finished the painting for the national student art competition, and I hope you’ll take a look and let me know if it needs any changes.”
“It’s okay, Kyla. Just focus on taking care of your brother. I’ve picked someone else for the competition. We’re planning to send Tilda.”
“What?!”
Kyla’s smile froze. She couldn’t help but shout out loud.
Realizing she’d lost her cool, she quickly tried to cover it up. “Oh, I’m sorry, Professor Linscott, I’m just surprised. I thought you’d already promised to recommend me.”
Tilda!
Damn you!
Why is this bitch always there to sabotage me!
Tilda had stolen the attention of the whole family. Now she wanted to take away the glory and recognition that belonged
to me!
Kyla couldn’t believe her bad luck. Why did she have to run into someone like Tilda in this lifetime?
