Chapter 89 The Steel in Tilda’s Heart
Howard gave Tilda an angry glare, spat out his threat, and stormed off after Russell.
Tilda’s lips curled into a smile, and her eyes hardened like ice. To her, it was almost funny.
“Regret? No. I’ll never regret a damn thing.”

The words could have been aimed at Russell and Howard, but in truth, she was saying them to herself.
After what she endured in her last life–left to burn like garbage in a fire, broken and humiliated–she had been reborn.
And in this life, she swore she would never regret to do anything she had never thought of before.
That included cutting the Jensons out of her life completely.
They had no idea…
For a sunflower to turn its back on the sun, it had to be hurt so deeply that it could never forgive.

Andy reached out, ruffling her hair with a tenderness that softened his tone. “Alright, Tilda. Please don’t waste your anger on people like them. They’re not worth it.”
“You’re right. They’re not worth it. Not one bit.”
Tilda nodded, her voice steady, fierce.
Then, she flashed him a smile, warm enough despite the coldness still clinging to her eyes:
“The only people worth it to me are you all–my friends. My real family,”
She wasn’t alone anymore.
Losing the blood relatives who had shattered her meant nothing.
In their place, she had gained something she never truly saw in her last life–light she had almost overlooked, shining right beside her all along.
Waiting only makes sense if it’s for someone who matters.
The ones who truly care about you–who treasure you will fight tooth and nail to crash into your world.
Not like how Tilda was in her past life … throwing away her pride, clawing to break into the Jenson family’s world, only to be shoved out, broken, and left to wither.
Night settled in.
Tilda and Andy had laughed themselves breathless before she finally dropped him at his hotel.
When she asked if he wanted to change hotels, Andy just scoffed.
Chapter 89 The Steel in Tilda’s Heart
“After what I told them today, if the Jensons still try to buy me off, then they’ve got pig brains.
“No family at the top would be dumb enough to keep banging their head against a wall.
He stayed put.
Tilda drove back to her apartment. A message from Una lit up her phone.
Tilda, what have you been up to lately? I miss you!!

Then hear me. If the Jensons are shameless enough to lay a finger on your family, I’ll make sure the Colons rise to the top of Slosa–and I’ll crush the Jensons under your feet.”
