Chapter 222 Her Guilt
Finished
Dominic walked in looking completely drained, with dark circles under his eyes. Even his lips were pale.
It was clear he’d thrown himself into work. He tried to escape the guilt he felt toward Tilda and numb his own pain.
Russell jumped up. “Dominic, you’re back! What about Howard’s video?”
“I already handled it. It’s under control and hasn’t blown up. I caught it just in time, so it shouldn’t cause any more trouble.”
“It’s good then.”
Russell let out a relieved sigh, but something felt off.
“Dominic, you just said…
“I’m with Wade on this. Dad, Mom, we were way too harsh on Tilda.
“Wade and I know we messed up. We just don’t know if Tilda will ever let us make things right.”
Dominic gave a dry, bitter laugh.
Dominic, seriously? At this point, you’re still shamelessly hoping Tilda might forgive you?
vou?
Do you think that if you bend over backwards and point out the family’s mistakes, she’s going to forgive you?
Dominic didn’t know Tilda, but he knew Queen’s personality.
If someone hurt Queen and she gave up on them, they should count themselves lucky. Lucky if she didn’t come back for revenge.
Forgiveness? Forget it.
Russell and Blair were speechless.
“Wait, I’m so confused. Can you guys just pause for a sec?”
Russell rubbed his temples. What even happened today?
Never mind how Tilda had managed to crush Howard so badly.
Wade had been acting strange lately. Whenever the Jensons badmouthed Tilda, he’d jump in and defend her fiercely.
Dominic was also acting weird. Didn’t he always hate Tilda? He once blamed her for embarrassing Russell and bringing shame to the family and company. He even wished she would just disappear.
Sometimes, Russell even thought about telling Dominic to chill. After all, she was his little sister. They shared the same blood.
Even though Russell wanted to cut ties with Tilda for good, a tiny bit of fatherly feeling lingered.

Since leaving the hospital, Dominic had seemed like a different person. He worked even harder, like he was running from something.
And now, he was saying stuff like that to Russell.
Blair suddenly gasped in pain.
Russell snapped out of it and immediately noticed the cut on her hand. “Darling, what happened to your hand?”
“It’s nothing. It just got pinched by accident. I was going to treat it, but then the whole thing with Howard suddenly came up.”
She’d won the National College Art Competition and was even recommended for the world title.

Chapter 222 Her Guilt
One of her paintings went viral on TikTok.
She’d saved a father and daughter from a car just before it exploded.
She even beat Wade’s record.
All of that turned Tilda into an overnight superstar. Her popularity was skyrocketing.
Even Twitter had started an official fan club for her.
People were scrambling for selfies and autographs.
Tilda hated crowds, though, so she grabbed Una and slipped away.
She moved so fast that nobody could keep up.
Security blocked the path, too. It was a university, not a fan event.
Only when threatened with grade penalties did the fans finally back off.
