Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 956:

Tilda’s frown deepened. “Jessica, if you keep talking like this, I’m going to get angry!”

Jessica averted her gaze, hiding a smirk. Making Tilda angry was exactly what she wanted. But she couldn’t push too hard. With a feigned look of concern, she added, “Tilda, don’t fool yourself into thinking your relatives are as laid-back as people abroad. Family here is a battlefield, with people ready to claw each other apart for a slice of the inheritance! Your brother’s wife is no pushover—consider yourself lucky if she leaves you any scraps. But if Eileen enters the picture, you might as well kiss it all goodbye.”

Since they hadn’t grown up together, Tilda’s bond with her brother was thin at best. When she had returned from abroad, she had discovered that her brother, Jonah Aston, had already married a woman from a prestigious family. His wife, Lorraine Evans, was calculating. Tilda, who had planned to enjoy a carefree return, had found herself married within two years because of Lorraine.

Tilda was straightforward and not one to dwell on what-ifs. She didn’t believe her marriage was arranged by anyone who had paired her with a less suitable match.

“Tilda, I’m telling you, you’re naive. You’ll never outmaneuver Eileen on your own. Don’t even try. I suggest you bring the matter to your sister-in-law’s attention. She’ll know how to handle it.” Jessica felt a pang of unease as she mentioned Lorraine. She entirely believed she could bend Lorraine to her will, so she opted to manipulate Tilda instead.
