With so many people helping in the search, Sheldon’s influence made him an invaluable ally- having one more powerful resource on her side only increased her chances.
After speaking with Jude yesterday and learning he had already picked up some leads on Harvey, Tilda felt an intense, undeniable premonition.
I will see my mentor again very soon.
The feeling had come out of nowhere, without any concrete evidence–but Tilda trusted her instincts. They had never failed her.
Determined, she resolved to use every resource at her disposal.
Listening to her, Sheldon immediately understood how crucial finding Harvey was. Tracking him down would be extremely difficult.
But since he had promised Tilda he would do everything he could, he responded with solemn determination, “I understand, Tilda. I’ll mobilize every information channel I have. Even if we have to search every corner of the earth, we’ll find a trace of him!”
“Thank you, Mr. Oliveson,” she said sincerely.
After hanging up, Tilda finished her morning routine and placed a breakfast delivery order. Just then, a message from Andy popped up.
“I’ve got two gifts in the form of good news–one big, one small. Which do you want to open first, Tilda?”
“Andy, you sound so excited… “Tilda couldn’t help but smile,
“Then let’s do the small gift first.”
“Okay! The small gift is… I’ve already allocated one billion dollars to the charities you support -environmental, animal welfare, and educational causes. I’ve made sure every donation is organized and properly handled.
“Each organization has been vetted to guarantee the money reaches those who truly need it— no middlemen, no corruption. And since your passion moved me, I added another 500 million myself. That should be enough, right?”
“Andy … thank you.”

Tilda felt a warmth in her chest.

Though they were both already wealthy beyond measure, this money wasn’t about wealth–it was about capability and impact.
If society gives you resources, they should be used to serve society.
Cetherland had countless people, animals, and environments in need.
Tilda never feared charity; her concern was that money could end up in the wrong hands, disguised as legitimate causes.
That was why, after publicly announcing the successful development of the 4nm chip lithography machine and sweeping the Motrar stock market, Tilda entrusted the one billion dollars to Andy to oversee Cetherland’s charitable projects.
She only trusted Andy.
Finding reliable organizations had been no small task, but now everything was in place.
Andy didn’t even have to donate in Cetherland; he wasn’t from there, even if his business operated in the country.
His extra 500 million was largely for Tilda’s sake.
“Here you go again—are you trying to make me angry? I told you, saying ‘thank you‘ between us feels awkward! You’re upsetting me!”
Andy feigned a pout.
“Fine. To make up for it, next time you come to Slosa, I promise that I’ll take you everywhere. We can eat, drink, and have fun–whatever you want, I’ll follow. Think of it as repayment … Anything you want, I’ll be there for you.”
For someone who had everything, material gifts meant little,
Shared experiences were the real reward.
“Hmph… In that case, I’ll reluctantly forgive you. Since I can’t have your heart, at least I can enjoy having you around and make that jerk, Jude, jealous. That’s not a bad deal.
“But the next big piece of news might keep you around even longer.”
“Did Kyla’s biological parents finally take action?”
Andy sounded deflated, like a scolded child. “Tilda …
