Out Of The Shadows Tilda’s Brilliant Second Life novel Chapter 46

Chapter 46 Why Am I Here?

After ordering. Tilda slipped away to the restroom.

She closed the heavy door behind her.

Then she made a call.

A cheesy ringtone blasted from the other side. “The endless horizon is my love. Under the green hills, flowers bloom so bright …”

The call connected.

“Queen!” Andy’s voice came through, full of surprise and joy.

“Andy, I need a favor.

“I want to sue someone. Russell Jenson–the chairman of Jenson Group.”

“Oh? That big guy? What did he do this time to make you this mad?

“And judging from your tone, this isn’t just some little grudge.”

Andy’s voice grew serious. He knew a man like Russell wasn’t someone you picked a fight with casually.

Even Andy himself wouldn’t take this kind of case lightly.

Normally, whenever Tilda talked about something, she sounded calm, even playful–as if she had everything under control, and nothing could shake her..

It wasn’t arrogance–it was confidence. The kind that came from years of fighting, learning, and sharpening her power.

After all, she was the dark web’s “Queen,” with a whole army of hacker fans who adored her.

Even a giant like Jenson Group–if Tilda aimed at them, she could dig up enough dirt to bring them down.

And that was only the side Andy knew.

“Queen” had other sides, other powers. If she brought them all together and turned them against Jenson Group?

Ha.

It would be a show worth watching.

“I’ll send you the video first.

“My demand is simple: Russell has to apologize publicly on every major media outlet.

“If not–I won’t let it go.”

Tilda sent over everything she had–security footage from the cafeteria, plus clips and photos students had taken on their phones.

Back in the cafeteria, while everyone thought she was just scrolling, she had been working on her custom hacker app. Through the cafeteria Wi–Fi, she had slipped into the students‘ phones and even the school’s cameras.

Every bit of proof was saved perfectly.

“Whew. With this much evidence, this will be easy.

“Queen, leave it to me. Consider it done.”

Andy almost laughed. This was the kind of case lawyers dream about–a guaranteed win.

“With a top lawyer like you. I can relax.

“As for payment, don’t worry–Ill transfer it to your account.”

Tilda’s lips curved into a small smile.

D

Andy’s public face was that of a legendary lawyer, famous all over the country.

He was known as the golden boy of the courtroom, the miracle worker, the undefeated one.

Every case he touched, no matter how hopeless, he turned around.

Finished

People threw millions just to hire him, but most were rejected. His schedule was already packed solid for the next two years.

Who would ever guess that under that shiny lawyer image, Andy was also a dark web broker?

That double life, plus his talent, made him unstoppable.

With just a few keystrokes, he could even wash Tilda’s dark web money until it looked spotless. For him, it was nothing.

“Money? I don’t need it, Queen. I don’t help you for money.”

“Andy, I know your intentions are good… but you’ve already done too much for me. I can’t keep owing you.”

“Then repay me the simple way.

“We’ve worked together for years. We know each other well. Let’s meet in real life. Just once. What do you say?”

Tilda closed her eyes for a moment.

All these years of working together, she had never met Andy in person.

The reason was obvious.

No matter how close they felt, the dark web was still the dark web. One mistake, and disaster would follow.

Back then, her whole heart had been focused on finding her family. She had believed they were still alive.

Because of that hope, she never allowed herself to sink too deep into the dark web. She never wanted to tie herself too tightly to anyone there because she was afraid it might end up dragging her family into danger.

But now…

None of that mattered.

At this point, that so–called “family” wasn’t worth a single one of her true partners.

“Alright. Let’s set a time. We’ll meet, and we’ll talk through this case face–to–face.”

Andy let out a low whistle, laughter spilling out. “Now that’s what I’m talking about, Queen. Honestly, when you went quiet just now, my heart was racing. I thought you were going to reject me again, like always

“I finally know what really matters to me. Thank you, Andy.”

Meanwhile, in the hospital, Wade stirred awake in his bed.

Kyla and Blair were right beside him, waiting. Kyla noticed first, her eyes going wide. “Daddy. Mominy! Wade’s awake!”

Her shout brought everyone rushing over

Wade how do you feel?”

“What Why am I here! Wade blinked in confusion, staring at all the faces crowded around his bed
