The True Heiress Returns (Tilda Jenson) novel Chapter 205

Chapter 205 Inflated Ego

“I wasn’t in Slosa for a while, and yet you stirred up quite a storm with the Jensons and the Bells,” Preston said.

His tone was calm, almost gentle.

But Tilda didn’t even bother listening.

Her eyes stayed fixed on the stage, full of excitement as she watched Una perform.

Preston’s brows pulled tight.

This bitch. She heard me, but she’s pretending not to.

Tilda, this whole hard to get‘ act? It’s getting old.

From their private booth upstairs, Clive and Wade could see everything.

“Wade, isn’t that Preston? Didn’t he use to be engaged to Tilda?

“So technically… doesn’t that make him her fiancé?”

Clive only knew about it because the news had been a big deal.

The truth was, Preston had always been in love with Kyla. He only wanted her as his wife.

And it wasn’t just him. Both his parents and the Jensons had supported the match.

Preston and Kyla had grown up together, practically childhood sweethearts. Their bond was strong.

On paper, they were perfect–family, looks, background, everything lined up. Everyone thought they were the ideal couple.

But things got messy when Kyla refused.

She said she already owed the Jensons enough as their adopted daughter.

Since Preston was officially engaged to the Jensons‘ real daughter, Tilda, Kyla didn’t want to steal what wasn’t hers.

Even though Tilda had been missing for 19 years, with her life or death uncertain, Kyla wouldn’t say yes to Preston.

She avoided him at every turn.

And no one blamed her.

People just thought she was too kind, too naïve–willing to give up her own happiness for a sister who might not even exist anymore.

But when Tilda was finally found, Kyla and Preston’s chance was over for good.

Chapter 205 Inflated Ego

Wade remembered how he used to complain to Clive.

He blamed Tilda’s return for breaking up Kyla and Preston, who loved each other so much.

He’d even called Tilda a homewrecker, someone who used an old family promise to ruin other people’s lives.

Clive glanced at Wade now. Sure enough, his friend’s face was twisted with regret.

He was clearly remembering the ugly things he’d said about her.

He had been cruel back then. Now he wanted nothing more than to go back in time and slap his old self across the face.

“It’s him,” Wade muttered, his eyes narrowing. “I’m worried he’s up to no good with Tilda.”

“What? That’s impossible, right? This is the first time they’ve actually spoken.

“And besides, Tilda already cut ties with the Jensons. That engagement doesn’t count anymore. Why would Preston even bother with her?”

At last, Tilda said it.

She honestly marveled at his confidence.

How could someone so ordinary act like he was God’s gift?
