Chapter 581 A Father’s Resolve
:
Russell knew it–whatever end he met, he deserved it. He’d made peace with that.
But this time was different.
This time, he had to rise as a true father and shield his daughter–no more hesitation.
He needed to make up his mind.
“Dad …”

“Wade, don’t tell your mom about this yet. No need to worry about Blair. She should be focusing on her rehab right now. Things haven’t reached the point of no return. Let’s wait and see for now.”
“Okay.”
Still, Wade had made his own decision too.
To protect Tilda’s life.
As her brother, he would stake everything–even if it meant turning against Jude himself.
Meanwhile, in the dressing room at Austin Hotel.
Tilda had no idea what was going on in Russell and Wade’s minds.
She was busy finishing Dane’s makeup.
She leaned back, checked her work, and smiled with satisfaction.
“There, take a look, Dane. Do
you
like it?”
She’d kept it light and clean, which made his sharp features stand out even more.
Even without a smile, with every feeling locked deep inside, years of silence left faint stiffness in his face.
His looks were almost too much to take in. When he pressed his lips together and gazed into the distance, he carried a kind of wisdom that no ordinary person could ever overshadow.
His eyes brimmed with the cosmos itself, holding stories and visions far beyond ordinary sight.
“Tilda
…
it looks good,” Dane said, his hoarse voice softened by warmth.

“Can you believe Liam? The guy saw the crowd and bolted to his room to sleep. Total social phobe.”
She laughed as she pulled out a tailored black suit and a tie dotted with tiny blue stars, all while grumbling about Liam.
“I didn’t really want to come either…”
Dane gave a helpless shrug.
He was never one for parties.
The government preferred he kept a low profile anyway–someone like him, a top scientist, wasn’t supposed to be in the spotlight.
Sheldon was known everywhere as a patriotic entrepreneur, even more so because he lived
Wherever he walked, respect rose unbidden.
Not just for his wealth and power, but for the patriot’s heart that stirred all who met him.
“This time, Mr. Jenson, I came looking for you,” Sheldon said, lowering his voice. “There’s something I’d like to ask.”
“Tilda Jenson … she’s your daughter, isn’t she?”
Tilda?
Russell and Wade both stiffened at the name.
Why would Sheldon suddenly bring her up?
Russell answered carefully, “Yes, Mr. Oliveson. Tilda is my daughter. May I ask what business you have with her?”
“Mr. Jenson, could we step aside for a moment?”
“Of course.”
Russell shot Wade a quick look.
Wade gave a small nod.
Then Russell followed Sheldon to the round window ledge, wine glass in hand.
