Chapter 16 She Had Suffered Enough
Howard didn’t hold back with Tilda–his words cut like knives.
His hatred for this so–called sister ran way too deep to make sense.
How dare she talk to her own brother like that!
And she even ignored Kyla calling her!
If Tilda doesn’t see herself as a Jenson, why should I treat her like family?
Kyla’s heart secretly lit up at his words.
Yes–that’s it! Hate Tilda as much as you can!
That way, she’ll never come back to try and take the Jenson wealth and fame that’s rightfully mine.
But she still had to act like she cared.
“Howard, don’t talk about Tilda like that. She’s your sister.”
Kyla’s voice was soft and shaky as she gently held his arm.
“I don’t have a sister like that! Kyla, you’re the only true Jenson heiress. I won’t accept anyone else!”
Howard’s eyes burned as he glared at Tilda.
This was his warning. Don’t even think about taking what’s not yours.
If the other brothers want to let Tilda threaten to cut ties, fine, that’s their problem.
But I’m not gonna allow it.
He thought his words would make Tilda’s cold look fade into fear.

Firushed.
He figured she’d realize she’d pushed too far–after all, the Jensons were loaded, and even fighting over the heiress title would still mean a rich life.
But that wasn’t what happened.
“Don’t worry. From now on, every single Jenson is a stranger to me. I want nothing from any of you.
“So stop pretending we’re close, and don’t call my name again. If you see me, just walk away.
“Honestly, you make me sick.”
Tilda’s voice was just as sharp and merciless.
Howard froze for a second, and then his rage blew up.
“Tilda, remember what you said!

Chapter 16 She Had Suffered Enough
“When you regret this and crawl back begging for the Jensons‘ fortune, crying at our door…
“I’ll be laughing at you like the worthless trash you are!”
“Enough!” Una snapped.

“Howard, don’t say that … Tilda, Howard’s always had a bad temper. Don’t take it to heart. Just apologize to him.”
Kyla stepped in, trying to calm things down.
“Why should I apologize?!”
Seeing Una cry made Tilda’s fury explode.
A cold, crashing wave of anger ran through her.
In my last life, I already suffered enough.
This time, I’m not letting anyone hurt my best friend.
“Howard! Apologize to Una!”
“Apologize? In your dreams!” Howard jabbed a finger at Una. “She’s the one butting into our family business. I’m just teaching that brat not to act like she owns the place!”
Tilda is unbelievable!
I haven’t even made her apologize to Kyla yet, and now she’s ordering me to say sorry?
“Forget it, Tilda. Don’t listen to them. I’m fine. Let’s just go.”
Una didn’t care about being yelled at.
But she knew Tilda’s heart was breaking even more.
Because that was her brother–her own family–tearing her down with such cruel words.
