Chapter 653 A Trap Tilda Set
“Hehe well, I guess congratulations are in order, Tilda. May everything you hope for come true…”
Meanwhile, Kyla was in her bathroom, carefully applying her top-of-the-line skincare products that had cost tens of thousands.
Her reflection stared back at her, half-covered in white lotion, yet the scars on her face were still visible. Her eyes blazed with anger. “Damn it… When will I ever look normal again? I’ve taken every medicine, gone through surgery, bought endless protective serums… and it’s still the same every day! Am I just being scammed?!”
Whenever she thought of Tilda mocking her disfigurement, her blood pressure spiked. And yet, when faced with the stunningly beautiful Tilda, Kyla could never find a word to fight back.
Before the accident, Kyla had considered herself the prettiest girl in all of Slosa. Wherever she went, people praised her sincerity, kindness, and innocence, and she had risen as a young socialite with limitless prospects.
But the moment Tilda returned from the Jensons, shedding her timid façade, she instantly became even more striking and more captivating than Kyla. Now, the Jensons were paying less attention to her and focusing on Tilda.
Kyla felt like all her misfortunes were Tilda’s fault.
If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have ended up like this! The attention, the favor that should have been mine, were stolen by her!
The more Kyla dwelled on it, the more her hatred for Tilda grew.
She wished Tilda were standing right in front of her so she could plunge a knife into her and tear that wretched woman apart.
Her thoughts flicked to Genevieve.
Over the past few days, she had been investigating her.
Occasionally, Genevieve would message her, urging her to make a decision.
But Kyla’s cautious nature kept her from revealing her true self.
Even though Tilda exposed Genevieve, who fled abroad to live as a mistress…
What if it’s a trap? If I get caught, no one can save me.
“It’s time to make a choice… The Jensons barely give me money anymore. Forget seasonal luxury clothes—I don’t even get my skincare now.”
If it weren’t for Blair encouraging her to get out more and giving her a credit card with a 300-thousand-dollar limit, Kyla couldn’t even afford these high-end products.
But 300 thousand wasn’t enough. Without the Jensons’ support, it would disappear in no time.
And asking Blair for more risked exposing her carefully crafted image of being frugal and disciplined.
Her standing with the Jensons was slipping fast, and she couldn’t rely on excuses anymore.
The only way to make money now was to steal the Jensons’ secrets and sell them to Tobias.
Not long ago, she had sold two secrets and made roughly 80 million, but had poured it all into her battle with Tilda and lost. Thinking about it still made her wince.
“Lately, the Jensons have been watching me closely. I can’t even get into Dad’s study, let alone steal the company’s current project plans. Could it be… that I have no choice but to use that method?”
Kyla’s eyes flickered with hesitation.
It was her final card. Fortunately, she had kept it in reserve.
But if she used it, the Jensons might be destroyed forever.
After all, they had raised her. It was where she had grown up for 18 years.
If she could avoid being ruthless, she would.
At that moment, an unknown number called.
Kyla assumed it was Genevieve again. She had recently been calling from abroad, always hiding something and refusing to give a permanent number. That was one reason Kyla didn’t fully trust her.
But when she saw the call came from Jeselton, Kyla’s brow furrowed.
“Jeselton? I don’t know anyone there…”
Still confused, she answered, “Hello? Who’s this?”
“Kyla! I’ve finally found you! I’m your real father!”
The excitement in the voice on the other end left her frozen.
Immediately, a wave of dread unlike anything she’d ever felt washed over her.
“Are you kidding me? You’ve got the wrong person! I’m hanging up!”
She slammed the phone down, a thin sheen of cold sweat forming on her forehead.
“No… this can’t be real. It’s a prank… a trap Tilda set to frame me!”
