That was why Barnes seemed less than enthusiastic about Tilda.
Even though she came from a rich family, having Sheldon before marrying Lyndon complicated matters.
It became a major point of criticism for Lyndon.
Brea assured Tilda not to worry.
She told her to just focus on being Lyndonâs wife.
Brea, after all, cared more about Lyndon having a peaceful and happy life than any power.
Lyndon echoed Breaâs sentiment and asked Tilda not to let it bother her.
He explained that even if he hadnât married her, those who desired power would always find other ways to target him, such as orchestrating an âaccidentalâ death.
As someone familiar with the inner workings of wealthy families, Tilda understood Lyndonâs words.
The plane crash that nearly took Lyndonâs life made it clear why Brea wished for him to lead a peaceful and happy Life.
Now a mother, Tilda naturally wished for her childâs peaceful future.
âItâs not easy being the daughter-in-law of a rich family,â Rosalynn sighed after hearing Tildaâs words.
She understood the intricacies of wealthy families.
The power struggles between the two sons of the Hughes family had endured for two generations.
It was a war without bulletsâa cruel war.
Therefore, she preferred the simplicity of being an ordinary person over the complexities of a wealthy wife.
However, these were just wistful thoughts.
Her life had already changed irrevocably.
Brian had resolved the situation.
Suddenly, Karina broke the silence.
âMaggie, Tilda stood up for you earlier.
Donât you think you should thank her?â
Maggie blinked in surprise.
âOf course.
But how can I thank Tilda?â
With a mischievous smile, Karina suggested, âRegister the marriage with Sanford as soon as possible.
That way, Scarletâs fatherâs plans will fail.
â
Maggie looked stunned.
It turned out Karina had such plan in mind.
Maggie took a deep breath and said earnestly, âIâll try my best!â
Tilda chuckled softly.
âDonât stress yourself, Maggie.
Take your time.
