Out Of The Shadows Tilda’s Brilliant Second Life novel Chapter 470

Chapter 470 Shattered Illusions

If they hadn’t investigated, they never would have known

If Tilda hadn’t reminded them, and if Russell hadn’t finally changed his view of her, he never would have dug deeper.

He once promised he would give Tilda an explanation.

But in the end, what ruined the family was Russell’s arrogance, his blind favoritism, and his refusal to see the truth.

“Dad, you have to calm down. Let me take care of your hand.”

Darell’s voice trembled. He was terrified his father might hurt himself again.

Russell’s hand was already swollen and red, clearly from pounding too hard in a fit of rage.

“No, leave it. Only this pain keeps me from losing control. Without it, I’d already be storming upstairs to confront Kyla!”

The throbbing in his hand was the only thing stopping him.

Otherwise, Russell would have rushed straight to Kyla’s room, demanding answers.

Why had she hidden her true self for so many years?

Why had she framed Tilda, turning them all against her?

They had never mistreated Kyla. On the contrary, she had been spoiled with more love, more care, and more gifts–far more than Tilda ever received.

Why wasn’t it enough? Why deceive them, manipulate them, and make them look like fools?

And still–Kyla played the victim. She cried in everyone’s arms, claiming she wanted to leave the family, pretending to make room for Tilda.

Russell couldn’t believe it. He couldn’t see past her act.

Those tears, those sobs, those heartbroken pleas, were they all fake? If those were lies, then ho much of the time she spent with them was real?

“Dad?” Darell pressed carefully. “What happened? Why did you change so much after that phone call? Was it … about Kyla?”

Russell stayed silent for a long moment.

He took the time to comb his thoughts.

Finished

Russell fought to control the fire in his chest and the crushing guilt that came with it.

Finally, gritting his teeth, he told Darell everything Kyla had done.

When Darell heard it, he froze as if lightning had struck him.

His whole body stiffened. His mind went blank.

It took him a long time to process everything.

He had always sensed Kyla was pretending.

Instinct kept him from getting too close to her.

But he had never imagined this.

That girl actually hired a killer to take people out!

Framing Tilda. Scheming to destroy her.

How many other secrets had Kyla buried?

How much more had she hidden from them?

Darell swallowed hard, his throat dry. It took him a long time to find his voice. “Dad, should w tell Mom about this?”

“I’ll make her regret she was ever born!”
