“How did it come to this for you? I’m sorry. This is my fault. I let you down. I’m so sorry..
His words broke apart into sobs, his crying raw and unrestrained, like a child who had lost his
way.
No one had ever witnessed Russell this shattered.
If word ever left this hospital, if people who knew him as the unshakable chairman of Jenson Group–who built his fortune with grit and ruled with relentless force–saw him like this, they would be floored.
Outside the isolation window, the seven Jenson brothers stood silently. Their eyes brimmed with tears as they watched their father trembling, holding Blair’s fragile hand.
The grief twisted in their chests like invisible claws, tearing them apart with merciless strength.
The anguish was suffocating, unbearable, and impossible to escape.
In
the darkness beyond, Tilda lingered unseen. She had confirmed Blair’s fate.
Crippled.
A faint smile curved her lips.
“So this is what it turned into.”
The cruelty of fate felt like a free gift that almost made her laugh.
“Blair, if there is such a thing as justice in this world, then this is the kind that fits you best.”
She had not meant for Blair to suffer like this.
But pity?
That was something Tilda refused to feel.
She told herself she was the last soul alive who had no right to offer compassion to anyone in the Jenson family.
If she did, she could never reconcile with the memories of her last life. Their betrayal had left her broken and dead.
Her face remained empty of expression as she turned and walked away.

Chapter 531 Apology:
There was something else she needed to confirm..
Kyla’s hospital room…

The nurse had already left, following Russell’s request to find the most capable caretaker.
Inside, Kyla lay unconscious, the room silent, unguarded.
Tilda slipped in, her steps soundless.
She looked down at Kyla, once so vain, so proud of her flawless face, now wrapped tight in bandages that all but screamed disfigurement.
Tilda’s cold gaze mirrored back nothing but stillness.
There was no joy, no hate, only a quiet emptiness, like stagnant water.
“Kyla,” she whispered, her tone low. “The ruin of my past life was carved by the Jensons and by my own foolish mistakes.
“But you were the spark. You were the one who fanned the flames, urging them forward.
“And you’ve fallen this far. It suits you.
“But you’re not finished yet. You’ll suffer more. You’ll help me complete what I’ve set out to do.”
Her voice never shifted.
She slipped a small green pill from her pocket, pressed it into Kyla’s mouth, and forced her to
swallow.
Kyla tumbled into a dream.
In it, she was bound tight to a chair, her eyes covered with heavy black cloth.
Fear engulfed her body. She shook violently, her voice breaking as she cried out.
“Dad! Mom! Dominic! Darell! Justin! Please! Help me! Save me!”
“Don’t come near me! Stay away! Leave me alone!” Kyla screamed, her voice frantic as she thrashed.
