Malcom’s hand froze mid–pour, the teapot suspended in the air. Tilda’s words made it clear. She didn’t take this meeting seriously at all. To her, it was nothing more than a casual chat over tea. Malcom forced a smile. “Ms. Tilda, you really have a sense of humor.”
“Mr. Lowell,” Tilda said calmly, “smart people don’t waste time talking in circles. Just tell me, why did you ask me here? We only met briefly that night, so I can’t imagine what reason you have to seek me out now. Please clear up my confusion.”
She went straight to the point.
Malcom looked into her eyes–dark, steady, unreadable. For a brief second, a chill slipped into his chest.
Feeling that kind of pressure from a twenty–year–old girl was a first in his life.
No wonder. She was well–deserved to be Dane’s junior. Russell, you fool. You cast aside a priceless jewel.
Behind the wall, Kyla’s heart jolted.
Mr. Lowell?
Is that Tobias?
No. This isn’t Tobias’s voice.
The voice was deep, magnetic, and rich with experience. It carried a calm confidence that only came from years of success.
He sounded like Russell when he spoke.
It carried the calm, steady strength shaped by years of experience,
Just from his voice, Kyla could picture the man: successful, respected, handsome,
Her heart pounded in excitement.
This was the charm of a mature, wealthy man.
Unbelievable! Has Tilda snatched up another good man? Is she meeting him in secret now?
This bitch already had Dane, Jude, Alfie, and Maurice–isn’t that enough? She never stopped chasing after more attention, always seducing men. This slut had trouble. She simply couldn’t stop herself from fucking with these men.

Kyla’s jealousy cut so deep it almost hurt to breathe. Her eyes burned as if she might cry blood.
Then a thought struck her.
What if Tilda really was sneaking around with another man?
What if Kyla could catch it on camera? A few scandalous photos at the right moment.
She could mail them to Jude and the others. They would see the truth–Tilda wasn’t the woman. they thought she was, just a lowly slut out to seduce more men.
Maybe then Jude and the others wouldn’t care so much about Tilda. Maybe they’d start noticing Kyla instead.
And her family? They wouldn’t treat her so coldly anymore. Once they saw Tilda’s true colors, they’d be disappointed in her all over again.
Everything could go back to the start. Back to when Kyla was the real daughter, when all eyes were on her. Back to those happy, shining days she had lost.
The thought of that possibility made Kyla restless.
