Ch. 121..130
Chapter 121
Tiffany did not know what happened in the Royal Bay after she left.
However, after returning home, she locked herself in her room. Then, she spread out a piece of white paper and drew randomly on it.
As she drew, she realized that the paper was filled with Richard’s names! Tiffany was a little discouraged.
In her memories of her previous life, Charlie was so angry that he suffered a stroke and was hospitalized. He had just been rescued when Sandra pulled out his oxygen tube and he died. Thalia died in the fire…
Even her eight-year-old brother had been poisoned into a mute and beaten into a fool.
At that time, under Kenneth’s pleading, she had already taken the blame for the person she truly loved and was imprisoned.
Five years later, she was released and faced the situation of her family being destroyed. In the end, she was killed by Sandra.
As she recalled these things, boundless hatred rose in Tiffany’s heart. She thought about it carefully, ‘Was everything really done by Sandra!
What ability did Sandra have to surpass me and Eric after causing Charlie’s death and annex the entire Kelley Corporation just because she was Charlie’s niece?
‘Swallowed all the property?
Even if Charlie died, the company still had Uncle Owen.
“With Uncle Owen’s personality, how could he give the company to Sandra?
Unless there was another mastermind who wanted to destroy my family!
Tiffany narrowed her eyes. The killing intent in her eyes was overbearing. No matter who this person was and what his motive was, I have to find these people one by one since I’ve got a second chance at life!
“No matter what other high and mighty figures are behind Sandra, I will never let them off!
“Tiffany, it’s time to eat!” Coincidentally. Eric pushed the door open and entered. In the blink of an eye, the killing intent and gloominess on Tiffany’s face disappeared and was replaced by the same faint smile as before.
“Got it.” Tiffany crumpled the piece of paper into a ball and threw it into the trash can. Then she went downstairs to eat. During this period, she unexpectedly received three calls all from Richard.
Tiffany did not answer. Seeing that Richard was persistently calling, she decided to turn off her phone. She didn’t want to see him for the time being
After dinner, Charlie brought Thalia to the garden for a walk to digest their food. Eric originally wanted to play with Tiffany, but Tiffany was not in a good mood and sent him away with a few words.
You can play the game by yourself. I’m going to sleep first.” After locking the door, she took a set of clothes and entered the bathroom.
When she came out, Tiffany was still drying her hair when she suddenly felt that something was wrong in the bedroom. She raised her head abruptly, her eyes filled with vigilance, “Who’s there?”
She thought that it was the silver-haired man from a few days ago. Tiffany was ready to attack at any tiine, but when she looked up. she was stunned.
Under the warm orange lighy, the handsome man’s figure was tall and straight. His side profile was well-defined and carried an indescribable gentleness. His starry eyes were lowered, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow on his eyelids.
His well-defined hand was holding a crumpled piece of paper and rubbing it repeatedly.
It was the piece of paper that she had thrown into the trash can earlier. Ilis name was written all over it….
“Richard?” Tiffany was so shocked that she could not speak fluently. “You, why are you in my room?”
After saying that, she looked out of the window. A gust of wind blew in.
Tiffany muttered in her heart. This damn man is really good at flipping windows.
Hearing the voice. Richard looked up.
Tiffany, who had just finished bathing, was unbelievably beautiful. Her long wet hair hung down, and her clear eyes were filled with dissatisfaction and vigilance. Her cheeks were red and charming.
She was wearing a pink silk nightdress that accentuated her smooth skin. She had a beautiful slender neck, clear collarbone. and faintly discernible cleavage…
Richard’s gaze finally landed on Tiffany’s neck.
There was a faint red mark on her fair skin. It was clearly a handprint, and it had been pinched.
The look in Richard’s eyes deepened, and the urge to kill Garry rose again.
Damn it. He strode over and reached out to touch the red mark Does it still hurt?”
Tiffany was stunned for two seconds before reacting. “It doesn’t hurt.”
It had been two days since the incident. At that time, Garry had indeed wanted to kill her, so the strangulation marks were obvious. After two days of recovery, the marks had faded a lot
Usually, in order not to be discovered and not to worry her parents, Tiffany had to put on makeup every day when she went out until she completely covered up this trace.
However, just as she came out of the shower, she did not expect Richard to suddenly visit in the middle of the night. Tiffany could not help but take two steps back to avoid his hand. She asked. “Anything you want?”
“Yes,” said Richard.
Tiffany asked, “What is it?”
Richard told her, Tm here to see you”
Tiffany was speechless and wanted to chase him away. “Then you’ve seen me now. Leave. I want to rest. Her tone was impolite and even a little angry.
No matter how hard Tiffany pushed him, Richard remained steady.
“Hey, are you leaving or not? Tiffany rolled her eyes. When she lost her temper, she did not care who this dann man was. She said angrily. “Since you like to roll over the window so much, why don’t you perform? Let me see.”
As she spoke, she pushed again. This time, she pushed harder, However, with a click, Tiffany felt a chill on his body and subconsciously looked down
The silk pajamas were extremely comfortable, but the quality was bail.
10:58 Fri, Oct
Chapter 121
She had used too much strength just now, so her pajamas burst, and the strap fell off…
Tiffany and Richand were both stunned.
The atmosphere was a little awkward. Both of them froze.
Lout
“Ah!” Tiffany was the first to react and immediately retreated. At the same time, she grabbed a coat beside her and put it on. Her face was flushed red. It was unknown if she was angry at herself or Richard!
Although Richard reacted quickly and looked away immediately, Tiffany was still furious. She kicked him and said angrily, “You bastard!”
He did not dodge and took Tiffany’s kick to vent her anger.
When she looked at her again, his handsome face was serious. “Okay, I’ll be responsible.”
Tiffany gritted her teeth. “Who asked you to be responsible?”
“Then you’ll be responsible for me.” Richard sighed softly. He suppressed the smile that gradually appeared in his eyes and said seriously, “I’m still a blank piece of
paper.
A blank piece of paper? Tiffany thought.
In other words, he was very pure. As the culprit, she had to take responsibility.
Tiffany almost continued to argue with him on the topic of blank paper. I’m just as pure as him!”
However, the more she spoke, the more she felt that something was wrong. Only then did she stop arguing.
“Alright, it’s late. You can go back now.” Tiffany sat on the bed and waited for him to leave.
However, Richard raised his eyebrows and asked with a helpless smile, ‘Don’t you have anything you want to know or ask
Chapter 122
Tiffany fell silent. Ask? How? Will he tell the truth just because I ask?’
The atmosphere in the bedroom fell into an indescribable silence.
As time passed, Tiffany did not speak. Richard waited patiently.
In the end, Tiffany decided to lay her cards on the table and said, Two days ago, someone climbed in through the window and said that he was paid to kill me. Do you know about this?”
Richard replied. “I didn’t know until today”
“It’s said that it’s an assassin organization. Do you know this?” Tiffany asked calmly, waiting for him to fabricate an answer to
brush her off.
Unexpectedly, Richard said frankly, “I know, I’m the boss behind it.
“What?” Tiffany was shocked. He actually admitted it directly…
Although she had a guess in her heart, Tiffany was still a little stunned.
This organization was full of mystery. Their whereabouts were uncertain, but their reputation was very resounding. Most of the time, it was indeed terrifying
However, they had been very low-key in recent years, and ordinary people could not invite them,
Just like this time, Tiffany believed that her chances of winning were not high if she were to face Garry head-on with strength. It was just that I already had a premonition, so I prepared the poison powder in advance. Otherwise, how could 1 have tricked Garry so easily?
Tiffany raised her eyebrows. For a moment, her thoughts were complicated. “I thought you wouldn’t admit it.”
“Sorry. Richard’s gaze once again landed on Tiffany’s neck. Looking at the glaring faint red mark, he decided to go back and hang Garry up and beat him up again!
If he didn’t taught Garry a lesson, this matter wouldn’t be over,
“This won’t happen again, I promise. He supported himself with one hand on the bed and slowly leaned over. The two of them were very close to each other. On the floor, the two shadows were almost fused into one, inseparable.
Tiffany was stunned for a moment before he said, “I have no secrets from you. I’ll tell you everything you want to know. I’ll pluck everything you want, even the stars in the sky, and give them to you. Therefore, you can trust me wholeheartedly. Don’t doubt me.”
This sentence left Tiffany in a daze. ‘Since we met, he has been protecting me time and time again. I have no value to be plotted against. Therefore… every word he said should be true!
Tiffany opened her mouth, not knowing how to respond.
Richard chuckled and ruffled her hair. “If you’re interested, I’ll give it to you.”
Til cover for you if you get into trouble.
“No matter what trouble you cause, I’ll make it
up to you.
His voice was soft, gentle and magnetic as always, but the words he said were more serious than ever
LA
Tiffany blurted out, “If you give me everything, what are you after?”
I’m after you. His thin lips curled up and he was about to speak
he cake? Your father
However, there was a knock on the bedroom door. Thalia said from outside, Tiffany, do you want some and I just bought it from a walk outside.
Seeing that there was no reply. Thalia decided to use the spare key to open the door.
Tiffany was instantly shocked! What if someone sees Richard in my room in the middle of the night?”
She hurriedly sat up from the bed. Seeing that there was nowhere to hide, Tiffany hurriedly threw Richard onto the bed and said anxiously. “Hide here and don’t make a sound!”
As she spoke, she walked to the bedroom door to open it. “Mom, I just fell asleep.”
“Oh, then you can sleep. Do you still want to eat this? I even brought your favorite Flamin Hot Cheetos. Thalia w enter the room and said. T’ll put it on the table for you. You’ll definitely eat it.”
“I’ll do it myself.” Tiffany was about to take it, but Thalia had already entered the bedroom.
Tiffany instantly felt guilty, afraid that Richard would be discovered.
about to
Fortunately, there were a few dolls and pillows on the bed. At a glance, they were piled up like a small mountain, and it was impossible to notice that someore was hiding under the blanket.
After Thalia put it down, she did not forget to remind Tiffany, “Don’t stay up too late. You have to sleep early.”
“Got it.” Tiffany answered obediently and sent Thalia out. She locked the door and ran back to the bed. She lifted the blanket and said, “Fortunately, you weren’t discovered. You can come out now.”
She originally thought that Richard would be suffocated, but she was instantly p**d off by what she saw.
This evil and lazy man was really sleeping on her bed. He looked like he was enjoying himself. How could he feel aggrieved? He was clearly enjoying himself!
Fortunately, the crisis was resolved, and Tiffany didn’t bother to argue with him. She ate the cake and Flamin’ Hot Cheetos,, and her appetite was extremely good.
When she finished eating, she saw that Richard had already fallen asleep!
“Hey, wake up!” Tiffany was so angry that she kicked him again.
Richard opened his eyes and sighed helplessly. “You heartless girl
Although he said that, everything that had happened today was already an unexpected gain. He stood up. The lecher who had refused to leave just now had turned back into the elegant and noble gentleman in the blink of an eye.
“Then I’m leaving” His lips curled into a smile, and the entire room seemed to be illuminated by a beam of light. It made people fall head over heels for him, and they were willing to indulge in this magnificent smile.
Tiffany was stunned. A handsome man is a misleading factor.
While she was in a daze, a gentle goodnight kiss landed on her forehead.
She blinked and was about to kick him when the curtains fluttered. His tall and slender figure disappeared quickly…
“A***le. Tiffany murmured. She touched her forehead and realized that her cheeks were burning

Chapter 122
What happened tonight was like a dream. In her dream, Richard had used his own way to tell her that she was different in
his heart.
The a**
organization was something that outsiders could not get, but he could give it to her without blinking. His tone was casual as if it was just a toy.
Tiffany thought for a long time.
In the end, she would rather believe that the mastermind behind the scenes in her previous life might really have nothing to do with Richard. He’s powerful and doesn’t need to rely on anyone. No one can threaten him.
The wealth and power in his hands are beyond the reach of others. Such a person is noble and looks down on all living beings. How can he be involved with a mere ant?
Then who else would secretly help Sandra
Suddenly. Tiffany thought about someone “Melody, the woman that Kenneth had truly fallen in love with in my previous life. They fell in love at first sight. How romantic and wonderful,
While the two were affectionate, Melody accidentally killed someone in a panic. She rushed to Kenneth, begging him to help her find a solution.
Just as Kenneth was about to use his family’s power to settle the matter, Melody said that she would find someone similar to her to replace her. This way, she could completely clear her suspicion.
Back then, Kenneth was hopelessly romantic and actually felt that this method was feasible.
Hence, he looked for Tiffany.
He promised to marry Tiffany, but the condition was that Tiffany would take the blame for Melody and go to jail….
And Tiffany was indeed s**d. She was willing to jump into such an obvious trap.
In that case, how much did Melody contribute to the destruction of the Kelley family while Tiffany was imprisoned?
Tiffany took a deep breath. The tragedy of my previous life had already happened. No matter how much I blame and regret it, I’m unable to change it.
“People have to look forward. I’ll never repeat the same mistake!
Calculating the time, it seems that Melody will appear in school is a transfer student soon.
Tm really looking forward to it.
myself
Chapter 123
The week flew by quickly. Now, Tiffany was quite a popular figure in school. She was the boss of class six, the school belle that everyone looked up to, and her drawer was overflowing with love letters she received every day.
In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend. At night, it was Conner’s wedding banquet.
Since Charlie had accepted the invitation, he naturally had to go. However, this time, the family of four went to the wedding banquet together.
Before attending the banquet, Frank sent Tiffany a new message. He said that the harvest of the diamond mine this time was quite bountiful. At the same time, he transferred 20% of the promised amount to Tiffany’s account.
After working with the Treasure Tower twice, Tiffany gained a lo
What Tiffany did not expect was that even the company’s income began to increase day by day. After that 200 thousand dollars, there was profit entering the account almost every day!
She was getting richer and richer and spending more and more money.
Previously, she had bought Eric his favorite figurines. They were all unique designers. They were limited edition globally and were shockingly expensive!
Charlie had only bought one for Eric which cost tens of thousands of dollars, but Tiffany had bought them all without blinking.
Eric was so shocked that he hugged her and cried, thinking that she had embarked on the path of robbery to become rich. Tiffany, you’re so good to me. Did you save up all your pocket money to buy this for me? Boohoo. Tiffany, why are you so s***d…”
Afraid that she had no money to spend, Eric gave all his pocket money to Tiffany. Even their parents were afraid that Tiffany would suffer, so they gave her another card with a doting expression.
Tiffany’s eyes were twitching.
Out of helplessness, she could only say that those figurines were actually fake and not worth much. That was why her did not suspect that she had robbed.
family
Looking at her increasing account balance, Tiffany believed that at would not be long before the title Miracle Healer would appear on the new rich list.
Being rich and willful, Tiffany promised Zoe that her ‘relative’ would organize a charity fund. She had asked June to arrange it some days ago.
Now that the various procedures had been finalized, Zoe had been in charge of this since this weekend. She was cautious every day and did not dare to relax at all, afraid that she would be fired by Tiffany’s ‘relative’ if she slacked off.
In this foundation, Tiffany had also invested a large sum of money. In addition, she had recruited a few helpers. As for how to do it, she believed that Zoe would slowly adapt and do it well.
As evening approached, the driver had already prepared the car
Thalia had changed into a black backless dress. She looked dignified, elegant, and s**y.
lie was a little dissatisfied, but because of his low status in the family, he did not dare to say it explicitly. He could only mutter, “There are so many gowns, but you have to wear this. Im unhappy
The eight-year-old Eric was wearing a small suit. The style of the tuxedo made him look exquisite and likable. After dressing

Chapter 123
up, he looked even more handsome and cute.
The entire family was ready. They were waiting for Tillany.
Tiffany, are you done?” asked Eric.
As soon as he finished speaking, Tiffany slowly walked down from upstairs. “Here we go.”
She didn’t make a conscious effort to dress up. She casually tied her hair, which fell straight down to her waist. Dressed in at deep blue gown, her figure was slender and graceful. Her eyes and eyebrows were delicate, making her stunningly attractive.
She walked over step by step like a water lily blooming in a pool. There was a hint of enchantment in her laziness.
Charlie felt a sense of relief and pride in his daughter coming of age. “Who said this deep blue dress looked old-fashioned? Look at who’s wearing it! My daughter is so beautiful and looks good in anything!”
Thalia and Eric were about to nod when they heard him mutter again, I wonder which brat will be lucky to marry her in the future!
He felt a sense of disappointment and frustration as if his daughter had been taken away.
Tiffany was speechless. ‘How did we get off track with this topic?
She hurriedly said that it was almost time. Only then did the family get into the car and head toward the banquet venue.
This time, it was a wedding banquet. The venue of the banquet was not at the hotel, but at the Lee farmily’s villa.
It must have been meticulously prepared in advance, so the Lee family’s villa was filled with joy and excitement from the outside to the inside.
When Tiffany and her family entered, they were all extremely good-looking. A loving and attractive parents and a pair of exquisite and beautiful children would be the focus of the crowd no matter where they went.
Among them, there were many young men and women who looked at Tiffany. In just a short moment, many people came forward to strike up a conversation.
Tiffany declined politely and found a seat with Eric. From afar, she saw the new mistress of the Lee family.
She looked to be in her forties, but because she had taken good care of herself and had a good figure, she looked very young,
For Conner to have kept her by his side for so many years and for her to eventually rise in status through her son, she must certainly have some extraordinary qualities.
However, Tiffany did not pay attention to this. Instead, she looked around but did not see Mia.
On such a joyous occasion today, Mia was probably the most aggrieved.
Tiffany did not mind rubbing salt into Mia’s wound.
However, before she could do anything, a young man in a white suit walked up to her and smiled politely. “Miss Kelley, make yourself at home”
This person who claimed to be the master should be Mia’s younger brother. He was the new heir of the Lee family, Mason.
Tiffany laughed. She was not surprised that Mason knew her. She only said, “Thank you.”
“In that case, feel free to instruct the s***nts if you need anything. I’ll go upstairs to see Mia first. Excuse me. After Mason finished speaking, he nodded gentlemanly and stood up to leave
Tiffany took a bite of the cake in front of her and couldn’t help but laugh as she watched Mason leave. Mason is interesting. In terms of scheming and shrewdness, an idiot like Mia is far from being his match!
Eric drank the juice in front of him and suddenly looked at a certain place. He said, “Tiffany, the sc***m is here.”
Tiffany nodded and said, “Yeah.
S***m was the nickname they gave Kenneth because he was a s**m.
Eric said, “He also brought Sandra.”
“Yeah.” Tiffany did not find it strange that Kenneth and Sandra were inseparable no matter where they went.
The Harper family had some connections with the Lee family, so they had to maintain some level of courtesy. However, only Kenneth showed up. Ryan and his wife didn’t come.
That was why Sandra had the chance to come with Kenneth.
Sandra said, “Kenneth, I’ll wait for you at the side.”
“Okay,” replied Kenneth.
With such a scene, it was inevitable to talk to some people he had dealings with. At this time, as a female companion, Sandra had to consciously wait at the side. After all, these things were not something she could participate in.
After Sandra retreated to the side, her sharp eyes saw Tiffany. She immediately walked over and said with a smile, “Tiffany, Eric, you’re all here.”
Eric ignored her. He did not like Sandra at all. He felt that she was very hypocritical! “What’s wrong with Kenneth to think that such a scheming woman is innocent and kind?
“Alas,” Eric sighed. There aren’t many younger brothers at my age who know how to differentiate scheming women.”
Hence, he suddenly said to Tiffany, “Tiffany, you have to cherish me.”
Tiffany was puzzled but nodded cooperatively. “Of course, You’re my treasure brother.”
The atmosphere between the siblings was incredibly harmonious, something outsiders could never intrude upon.
Sandra was not angry. She turned around and left in the direction of the second floor of the Lee family’s villa.
She was going to brainwash Mia and… come up with ideas.
Chapter 124
The entire hall downstairs and even the venue at the front and back of the villa were decorated with fresh flowers and bright lights for the guests to walk around.
However, the bedroom upstairs belonged to the master. Usually, no one would barge into the private area.
When Sandra went up, she claimed to be Mia’s classmate and came to see Mia.
Knowing that Mia was in a bad mood, the servant did not stop Sandra and let her in.
In the bedroom. Mia was dressed beautifully. However, no amount of powder could cover her ferocious and livid face.
When Sandra came in, Mia did not even turn around. She thought that a servant had come to rush her, so she immediately said coldly, “Get out!”
Sandra said, “Look at you, you ruined a good plan. Why would you do that?”
Hearing the voice, Mia turned around and saw Sandra who came uninvited. She sneered. “We’re just the same. You don’t have the right to teach me a lesson. Oh, that’s not right. At least you have Kenneth. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to attend today’s banquet with your identity. Full of anger, Mia’s words were naturally sarcastic.
Sandra was neither angry nor annoyed. She walked straight to the dressing table, picked up a box of blush in front of Mia, and gently applied it on Mia. Mis originally exquisite makeup was even more radiant and her complexion was extremely good
Only then did Sandra say, “If you give up on yourself now, you’ll really lose. Can’t you cheer up and fight for another way out for yourself?” There was a deeper meaning in her words.
Mia frowned. “What do you mean?”
Sandra replied, “Look in the mirror.”
In the mirror, the girl who was dressed was beautiful and elegant Mia subconsciously relaxed her tightly knitted brows. Her anger subsided a little, and her expression softened. She saw that her face was even more attractive. Yes, I almost forgot that before Tiffany showed up, I should have been the one considered as the most beautiful.
“With your family background and looks, what kind of man wouldn’t be worthy of you?” Sandra leaned over and said in a bewitching voice, “Haven’t you always admired Richard? Just figure out a way to win this man over. Then, as the glamorous Mrs. Hampton who rules over Lovell City, even your father will have to give you anything you want.”
“Mrs. Hampton… Mia was taken aback, and her dull eyes gradually regained their vigor. ‘Exactly. If I really get what I want, who would dare to compete with me for the family assets? How would that mistress dare to show off in front of me?
“But… how can I get close to him? Mia asked.
Everyone knew that Richard did not get close to women. Many rich young ladies tried their best to get close to him, but no one could. They could not even touch his sleeve!
“That depends on your ability” Sandra smiled without saying anything.
She had only come up with an idea. As for how to implement it it would depend on Mia’s ability and boldness.
As long as Mia went all out, there were many ways.
Many women dreamed of clinging to a man like Richard, who was as dazzling as the stars in the sky, and Sandra had thought of this before.
However, she did would crush like an ant.
That was have the guts to approach such a dangerois man. She was afraid that once she angered him, Richard
That was easy for Richard. In comparison, Kenneth was easier to control.
“Good luck.” Sandra patted Mia’s shoulder and left her room with a smug smile. I really hope that Mia can successfully get close to Richard. Even if she can’t, any other woman can, but not Tiffany! In this way, Tillany will have no chance to step on
me.
After coming down from upstairs, Sandra sat down with a satisfied smile and chatted with a few other young ladies she
knew
Not long after, Mia, who was dressed brightly, came down from upstairs. Unlike what others had expected, she did not cry or make a fuss. Instead, she smiled and welcomed the guests.
Conner, who was toasting with his new wife, smiled in satisfaction when he saw this.
The wedding banquet officially began with a series of festive blessings. After all, Conner was already at this age. It was impossible for him to hold a wedding in such a high-profile manner.
The ultimate goal of this banquet was to introduce Mason to everyone.
During the ceremony, there were polite compliments and teasing. In short, it was a joyous occasion.
When they sat down to enjoy the dishes, there was a sudden commotion at the door.
Someone craned his neck and shouted in surprise, “Mr. Hampton is here!”
The guests present were in an uproar. They looked over and saw that the Hampton family’s low-key luxury car was indeed. parked at the entrance!
The driver quickly opened the car door and Richard stepped out with his long legs. He was handsome and tall. He strode over with a strong aura and a calm posture.
Conner was shocked. When he came back to his senses, he was overwhelmed!
“Who doesn’t know that Richard, a young man who controls the lifeline of the global economy and owns an entire business, empire, never likes these occasions? It’s already very generous of him to send someone to deliver a congratulatory gift. Moreover, he has condescended to come here in person! Conner came back to his senses and hurriedly brought his son out to welcome Richard!
Even Mia was overjoyed! She had been thinking about how to approach Richard. She did not expect him to really accept the invitation! ‘Could it be… Does he specially come over because he heard about my family?”
Mia blushed and looked at Richard with an almost infatuated gaze.
Richard was wearing a navy blue suit. He was calm and reserved, and he looked elegant.
His figure was so perfect that it was like a walking clothes rack. Many top models could not compare to him!
Faced with Conner and the group’s warm greetings and flattering smiles, Richard raised his eyebrows and smiled casually “Congratulations.”
After saying that, he walked straight in. Everyone made way for him.
Conner followed behind him and smiled. “Mr. Hampton, I’m so honored that you came here personally! Let me bring you to your seat. I specially reserved a seat for you!”
Conner greeted him happily, but Richard stopped in his tracks and walked toward a table.
The banquet had just started, and the table was not full yet. He walked straight over, immediately pulled out a chair.
and the assistant behind him
Charlie was stunned for a moment. It was quite stressful to sit with an all-powerful figure!
In order to avoid unnecessary influence, Charlie was about to bring his wife and children to another table when Richard spoke. “Mr. Kelley, long time no see.”
“Long time no see. Charlie was a linle confused. Tm not familiar with Richard and don’t have much business dealings with him. He didn’t even acknowledge so many people. Why did he greet me?”
Although he was suspicious, he had a good upbringing and immediately said to Eric and Tiffany, “What are you waiting for? Greet Mr. Hampton
Chapter 125
Tiffany was originally drinking watermelon juice and watching the show. When she heard her father’s words, she could not help but laugh. “Ha-ha… Ahem…” Extreme joy turned into sorrow. She choked on her own saliva as she laughed.
Eric hurriedly took a piece of paper for her and handed it over.
Tiffany calmed down a little. Then, she really greeted Richard obediently. “Hello, Mr. Hampton” She was sweet and
obedient.
Seeing this, Eric also called out
Richard’s face darkened to the extreme. This inexplicably increased his seniority.
Seeing the smile in Tiffany’s eyes and her sly and witty teasing gaze filled with ill intentions, he felt even more depressed.
All the people present were smart and good at observing peoples expressions.
However, looking at Richard’s dark expression, most of them misunderstood. They thought that Tiffany’s impolite laughter had angered Richard.
Hence, all of them looked at her accusingly. Most of them felt that apart from her beautiful appearance, the precious daughter that Charlie had brought along was crude and did not know etiquette!
Someone said. “Charlie, you must bring your daughter back to teach her. She doesn’t behave like a lady at all in such an
“That’s right. She’s too rude. Why is she laughing for no reason? Is it that funny? Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Hampton.”
Charlie was such a protective person! He can only tolerate others praising Tiffany. Any slight dissatisfaction, even the tiniest/ bit, cannot be voiced!
To put it nicely, these lectures were because Tiffany was insensible. To put it bluntly, they were scolding Tiffany for being vulgar and ill-mannered!
Charlie’s expression darkened. He was about to retaliate!
But Richard tapped his slender index finger on the table and looked at everyone casually. His thin lips moved slightly, and he said with a faint smile, “Are you even qualified to speak here?” He looked gloomy and aggressive.
Everyone who was babbling just now felt a chill run down their spine. It was so cold that it made one shiver.
Those who understood the situation immediately bent down and smiled awkwardly. “I’m sorry. We spoke without thinking. Oh, Miss Kelley, I’m sorry… After saying that, he even slapped his mouth to express his apology.
Richard’s expression did not change, but he frowned slightly, indicating that his patience had reached its peak.
The assistant standing at the side immediately gestured to these irrelevant people. He had a smile on his face and his tone was firm. “Everyone, please take your seats”
If they didn’t flatter Richard properly, they might end up offending Richard and easily get themselves into trouble. No one dared to say more, and they all dispersed dejectedly.
Conner originally wanted to introduce Mason. If Mason was lucky enough to get to know Richard, it would definitely be of great help to Mason in the future!
However, Richard did not even look at him.
The assistant nodded politely. “Mr. Lee, it’s your banquet. Please entertain the guests. It was an euphemistic way of chasing
Conner away.
Conner did not dare to offend Richard. He could only say a few polite words and leave with his new wife and Mason.
The one who refused to leave was Mia.
It wasn’t easy for her to get close to Richard. Her heart was filled with anticipation. She was looking forward to seeing if Richard especially came to support her because he knew her current situation.
However, when Richard arrived and sat down, he ignored so many people and chose this table because there was Tiffany on
this table.
Coincidentally, the gowns and suits Tiffany and Richard were wearing today were of the same color!
It was a deep blue color, magnanimous and steady. At a glance, they looked compatible and tacit as if they had agreed to wear matching clothes! This undoubtedly stung Mia’s eyes!
She grabbed the skirt of her gown tightly. With unwillingness and weak anticipation, she took a step forward and asked, “Mr. Hampton, you don’t you remember me?” She sounded as if there was some unknown story between them.
Tiffany raised her eyebrows and leisurely prepared to watch the show,
The assistant looked at Mia sympathetically. Why does she have to embarrass herself?
L
As expected, Richard glanced at her coldly. There was no warmth in his deep eyes. “She’s annoyed like a fly!
“Who are you?” Richard’s three words crushed all of Mia’s confidence!
She had always felt that she was the most special one. Even if she had never met him face to face, she had at least met him a few times in public. Shouldn’t he remember her?
However, the truth was that Richard really did not even know her name.
Mia suddenly took a few steps back with tears in her eyes. Her exquisite makeup could not hide her embarrassment, disappointment, and… jealousy,
Tiffany felt a little helpless when she sensed Mia’s resentful gaze. She cursed Richard in her heart, This damn man really knows how to make me hated!’
Mia held back her tears and left.
Charlie and Thalia were still a little confused about what had just happened.
They looked at each other and felt inexplicably pressured and nervous facing Richard, who had a strong temperament and was like a god.
In the entire Lovell City, there was no one who did not bow down to him. He held the lifeline of the global economy and a huge business empire. A word from him could decide a person’s life. Anyone who dared to offend him would not have a good ending!
Charlie was still thinking about what to say to ease the awkward atmosphere. Even if it was an awkward conversation, it was better than keeping quiet and not saying anything.
However, just as he decided what to say, Richard slowly moved the cutlery and said as if they were chatting. “Mr. Kelley, I heard that you are recently discussing a project regarding the renovation of the old alley.
This old alley could be considered a specialty of Lovell City. The entire street was a preserved historical and cultural heritage, but some time ago, there were rumors that it was going to be transformed into a commercial street.
Charlie was also involved in this bidding project, but his idea was that there were already enough commercial streets, so it was better to transform it into a film studio,
This way
not only could it attract more tourists, but it could also drive the local economy. Why not?
Charlie wanted to compete for this project, but the proposal was not favored by the bidders.
From the looks of it, the possibility of winning this project was very small…
Now that it was mentioned by Richard. Charlie did not hide it and openly admitted, “Yes”
As soon as b
as he finished speaking, the assistant standing beside him took out a contract and placed it in front of him.
“This is… Charlie looked down and was instantly shocked.
In front of him was the old alley modification contract, and it was fully handed over to the Kelley Group! This meant that he could do whatever he wanted, even dismantling it!
Richard slowly picked up a handkerchief and wiped his mouth before saying, “Coincidentally, I have the same thoughts as you. It’s very suitable for me to hand this project to you.”
Charlie was in a daze and blurted out, “But I remember that this is a bidding project. This…”
“Oh, now it’s mine,” said Richard. ‘How troublesome is the bidding? Wouldn’t it be better to buy it directly?”
Charlie was dumbfounded by such an understatement.
That was a priceless ancient building! Even large families with strong financial resources and powerful backgrounds did not dare to say such words easily!
However, Richard seemed to be discussing whether a dish was delicious or not!
Although Charlie had been in the business world for so many years, he was still shocked by how generous Richard was.
At this point, what’s there to be pretentious about? Hence, he agreed and nodded repeatedly. “It’s rare to have a chance to work with you. I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration in the future.”
Richard smiled slightly, and his cold face softened a little. “You’re an elder. In terms of age, I’m not much older than your daughter, so….
He changed the topic and looked at Tiffany with a faint smile. “He good and call me by my
name.
Chapter 126
His gaze was so scorching and his voice was so magnetic.
Tiffany was originally eating quietly. Now, her hand trembled and her fork fell to the table with a clatter.
Their eyes met, and the surrounding noise seemed to disappear
Tiffany’s head was buzzing, and what he said kept echoing in her head. His voice was melodious, and his tone was. prolonged.
He looked serious on the surface but he was actually teasing her…
Tiffany’s face instantly turned red.
She wanted to pretend that she did not hear it and get away with it, but she saw Richard’s cold gaze on her. There was a hint of mischief in his good-looking eyes.
It was obvious that he did not intend to let her off.
Tiffany looked at her father, wanting to know their reaction.
Unexpectedly, Thalia reacted the fastest. She patted Tiffany’s hand and smiled. “According to your age, you should indeed call him by his name. Tiffany, why aren’t you saying hello?”
Tiffany could only brace herself and say, “Hello, Richard.”
“Good girl.” Richard smiled and seemed to be in a good mood.
It was obvious that Richard was unsatisfied with his inexplicable seniority rise. So, after all this roundabout, he’d rather lower his status and become Charlie’s junior than be addressed respectfully by her.
Charlie laughed happily. He did not think about anything else. Instead, he was full of admiration. ‘As expected of a young genius who owns a huge business empire at such a young age. He’s completely different from the rumored temperamental personality. He’s clearly very humble and polite. Not bad.
The corners of the assistant’s eyes twitched as he watched the happy scene. ‘So, did Mr. Hampton spend so much money to buy this street that he looks down on just to please his future father-in-law? Love me, love my dog.’
After sitting for a while, Richard got up and left. Before he left, he even gave Eric a
gift.
It was an exquisitely wrapped gift box. Before opening it, Eric had no idea what was inside. It felt quite heavy.
Eric seemed to have sensed something. His eyes lit up as he called out loudly, “Richard!”
However, he tiptoed and whispered into Richard’s ear, “You might be my brother-in-law in the future, right?”
‘How clever.’ Richard touched his head and asked, “Will you help me then?”
Eric said, “Yes!”
“Deal, agreed Richard.
With just a few words, the two of them had become allies because of Tiffany.
After Richard left, Tiffany pulled Eric over and whispered curiously, “What were you two whispering about just now?”
Eric revealed an indescribable expression and said heroically, “This is a secret between men.”
Tiffany wanted to slap him-hut could not bear to do it. She could only rub his head and scold him jokingly, “Rascal.”
Richard did not stay for long. Many people who had yet to get close to him sighed, but at the same time, they curiously surrounded him and asked Charlie what he had said.
It was no secret. Hence, Charlie said that he had signed a contract with Richard. He would personally arrange the renovation project for that old alley in the future.
Everyone expressed their envy. “Wow. You’re really good at hiding your strength. You actually made Mr. Hampton come here personally just to sign a contract with you. This is a good thing that many people don’t even dare to think about!”
Actually, Charlie also found it unbelievable. “This cooperation is nothing to Richard. It’s negligible. With his net worth, why would he need to talk to me personally? He could just arrange for an assistant to make a trip. It should be a coincidence that we met at this wedding banquet, right?’
Charlie felt a little more at ease. He was also a little proud of being flattered, but he looked humble on the surface. “You flatter me.”
The surroundings were filled with laughter and the atmosphere was extremely good.
Even Thalia could not help but shake her head and whisper, “Your high-spirited appearance reminds me of when you were young.”
“What are you saying? Am I not young now?” Charlie laughed out loud.
Not long after, the wedding banquet ended.
When they left, Conner brought his new wife to send off the guests at the door.
Before Tiffany got into the car, she felt a burning gaze on her back.
Sensing something, she turned around and saw Mia standing in front of the window on the upper floor of the Lee family’s villa, looking at her with a cold gaze.
‘Who would pay too much attention to a clown?’ Tiffany laughed and got into the car.
After returning home, Eric eagerly opened the gift box, as if it wanted to verify its guess and see what was inside.
Looking at his expectant expression, Tiffany was a little curious.
She leaned over to take a look and saw the gift box open. There was a high-tech computer in the bubble cushion.
Eric cried out in surprise, “It’s real! It’s really this! Ah, I love it so much!”
“What’s this?” asked Tiffany.
Eric answered, “A Computer that has been specially modified and processed. Even if you have money, you might not be able to buy them. The modifications are especially complicated, but to hackers, it’s a good thing that adds wings to a tiger!”
“I see.” Tiffany nodded. She was a little touched, so she decided to send Richard a message later to express her gratitude. Just as she returned to her room and closed the door, she turned around and realized that the elegant and noble Richard was lying on her bed. He supported his head with one hand and flipped through her book leisurely with the other.
The corner of Tiffany’s mouth twitched. “Hey, are you already used to jumping through windows?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Richard did not even look up. He scolded softly, “How rude. Show some respect.”
Tiffany was angry and amused. “Alright. Then thank you for negotiating a collaboration with my father and giving my brother a computer. It’s so generous and charming of you!”
Who doesn’t know how to suck up to others?’ Tiffany f
Chapter 127
Tiffany blinked, clearly stunned by his Words.
After a while, she came back to her senses and … Richard jump out of the window like a gust of wind.
Tiffany turned her head away and realized that her cheeks were burning. ‘I definitely won’t be able to sleep well tonight!’
Unexpectedly, not only did she sleep soundly tonight, but she also did not dream of dawn the entire night. After waking up, she felt refreshed.
Early in the morning, after having a delicious breakfast, Tiffany got into the car and went to school.
She came early, so there were not many people in school.
Tiffany’s mood was especially good as she leisurely walked on the green path and felt the breeze on her face.
But unexpectedly, about a dozen idiots who looked decent but were actually good-for-nothing blocked her path.
They were all men, looking rough and rowdy, obviously gangsters.
Seeing Tiffany coming over, more than ten people surrounded her in the blink of an eye. All of them nodded and commented, the amazement in their eyes undisguised..
“Wow, she’s so beautiful. I thought the photos were edited. I didn’t expect her to be so good-looking in person!”
“Isn’t this making things difficult for me? Who can bear to do this to such a beautiful woman?”
“Exactly.”
One of the youths with dyed purple hair walked forward and chuckled. “How about this? If you follow us, I guarantee that no one will dare to bully you from now on. How about that?”
As he spoke, he extended his hand to Tiffany.
The others seemed to be afraid of being left behind. They were also a little tempted to take advantage of her.
In the end, there was a scream! The purple-haired youth’s wrist was hanging down!
Everyone was shocked and their faces were filled with shock.
Tiffany, however, didn’t even blink. As she squeezed his bones to make them crack, she maintained a sweet smile and even turned back to comfort them, “Don’t be scared. I’m not a good person anyway.”
‘What the hell is going on? Shouldn’t we be the ones to say this? The group of hooligans looked at each other. They never expected this angel-like girl to have a heart as ruthless as a demon!
“What are you afraid of? She’s just a delicate girl!” The leader of the hooligans shouted, then casually pointed at two people and ordered, “You two, go!”
“Don’t.” When Tiffany spoke, the hooligan thought that she was afraid. Just as he was about to tease her, he saw Tiffany
time? Cut the crap. All of smiling nonchalantly, and her eyes were filled with disdain. “How can a bunch of losers waste my you, attack together.”
Her extremely contemptuous attitude, outrageously arrogant demeanor, and the most provocative word “loser” made these thugs furious in an instant. They were all extremely mad!
“This woman really doesn’t know herself well if she isn’t taught a lesson!” The leader waved his hand and said angrily,

A group of people really rushed up, some with the idea of taking advantage of the chaos to take advantage of her, and others with the intention of regaining their dignity and prestige.
However, before they could even touch the corner oc
clothes, they were beaten until their heads were dizzy. Blood
splattered from their noses as they wailed!
In a short period of time, Tiffany had knocked out a group of them! Instant knockout!
Tiffany raised her leg and stepped on the face of the leader of the hooligans. She mocked, “Don’t you know your own worth? With you trashy lot, you dare to block my way?
“Are you worthy?
“Hmm? Tell me loudly. Are you worthy?”
The hooligan who was stepped on screamed in pain. When he heard this, he immediately begged for mercy. “We’re not worthy! We’re just a bunch of losers, not even worthy to shine your shoes.
“Let us go. We know we were wrong. We won’t dare to do it again!”
‘You wouldn’t dare?’ Tiffany sneered. “These are all people from all walks of life. If I’m really that kind of weak little girl, would these people let me off? Who knows what they would do to me?’
Not only did Tiffany not let go, but she also stepped even harder. The hooligan’s face was covered in blood as he cried and begged, “We were entrusted by someone. Really, all of this has nothing to do with us!”
Someone had given them money to sneak into the school and teach Tiffany a lesson.
Although they had been told in advance that Tiffany could fight, the employer told them that it was best for them to bring weapons.
However, how could they brazenly bring weapons into the school?
Moreover, how powerful could a girl be? They had the advantage in numbers, so this trip was not stressful at all!
However, they were embarrassed so quickly.
The gangster thought that since he said that he was here at someone’s request, Tiffany would definitely ask who the person behind it was.
However, after he waited for a long time, she did not speak. The hooligan was dealt a huge blow. With a swollen face, he asked, “Miss, don’t you want to know who wants to deal with you?”
Tiffany gave a half-smile and said mockingly, “Is there a need to ask? Isn’t it just that idiot Jordan?”
“You’re really smart!” The gangster racked his brains to flatter her. After praising her for a while, he said awkwardly, “Then… can we leave now?”
“Sure.” Tiffany released her foot and pointed in the southeast direction. “Go to the school’s security office to confess and then you can get lost.”
“Huh?” The group of hooligans pulled a long face. “We will be locked up…”
Tiffany put on a fake smile.
The hooligans shivered and immediately said, “I’ll go now. I’ll definitely go! I promise to turn over a new leaf!”

Chapter 127
After saying that, they ran to the security room in a hurry.
Tiffany didn’t care if these people listened to her or not. She acted as if nothing had happened. She continued walking forward without any effect and even called Jeremy. “Has the training camp been cleared?”
“Yes.” It was still the same stiff and wordless answer.
95%1
Tiffany nodded and praised, “Well done. Then come back. You’re rewarded with the position of captain of the security team of the luxurious villa. I’ve already sent you the address.”
There was a moment of silence on the other end. In the end, he nodded and hung up the phone to pack his things.
Jeremy was her capable right-hand man. If such a capable bodyguard was placed in the villa owned by the Miracle Healer, she would feel much more at ease sleeping.
Tiffany called June and asked, “By the way, June, where is my miserable aunt Selena?”
Ever since Selena was wanted, she had been hiding everywhere.
She was very careful and hid very well. However, no matter where she fled, even if she went to the ends of the world, Tiffany would always know where she was.
It was really easy to catch Selena.
June said, “Selena is in Lovell City. It’s just that she’s hiding in the mountains.”
“This is really tough. Not only does she not have money, but she also has to worry and be afraid. Her life must be aggrieved and uncomfortable.” Tiffany said sympathetic words but her face did not soften at all. “That’s about enough, it’s time for the mother-daughter reunion. The daughter can’t be doing so well while the mother continues to suffer.”
With that, June knew what to do. However, she still had a question about Selena.
She took this opportunity to ask out of curiosity, “Miss Kelley, why don’t you just kill her or expose her whereabouts?”
“And then what after revealing her whereabouts? Let her be in jail until the day she gets released?” Tiffany gave a cryptic laugh, “It’s entertaining to watch dogs bite each other. Without lifting a finger, two enemies are eliminated. Let them do it themselves, tormenting each other. After all… the process of a slow knife cutting through flesh is the most painful.”
Chapter 128
The gangsters were looking for trouble early in the morning. Although there were not many students coming and going at that time, there were people passing by who happened to bump into them.
Hence, someone immediately raised his phone and took a photo of Tiffany’s instant knockout!
Tiffany was the influential figure in Lovell School and the most popular school belle, so this video had just been posted on the forum when it caused a commotion.
Some people said that Tiffany did this on purpose to attract attention.
There were also people who exclaimed repeatedly that they had lived in vain for so many years and could not compare to a girl.
The news spread like wildfire. Of course, Sandra saw it too.
She was furious and secretly scolded Jordan. ‘What a piece of trash!”
During this period of time, Jordan had been chasing after her relentlessly. He had given her all kinds of expensive gifts and transferred the money to her at the drop of a hat. In short, he had vividly portrayed the methods of a nouveau riche wooing a girl!
She despised Jordan for being an unpresentable suitor, so she kept rejecting him. However, she accepted the benefits that the fool gave her.
She would occasionally instill in Jordan how she was bullied by Tiffany everywhere, so Jordan vowed to stand up for her, at least to teach Tiffany a lesson.
She waited expectantly, but what happened? The group of men was knocked out by Tiffany!
The more she thought about it, the more indignant she became. Sandra simply called Jordan and said in her usual gentle and kind tone, “Mr. Booth, I heard that Tiffany was almost hurt. It has nothing to do with you, right? Don’t stand up for me I’m used to being bullied. I can’t implicate you…”
With this way of speaking, she didn’t make it clear, but she hinted at it.
Even if she fell out with Jordan one day and revealed these things, her words would not prove anything.
On the other hand, Jordan’s heart ached for her for compromising and even thinking for him.
He was instantly filled with heroic spirit and assured her with full masculinity, “Don’t worry. Although this matter didn’t go well, I’ll definitely think of another way to teach your vicious sister a lesson!”
After saying that, he said shamelessly, “By the way, I’ll pick you up later. There’s a new restaurant that tastes very good. Also, do you have enough pocket money? I’ll transfer some to you.”
After saying that, he transferred ten thousand dollars to her.
However, Sandra said, “We’ll see.” Then, she hung up.
In the short span of half a month, Jordan was very generous and spent money on her without hesitation, treating Sandra as his own.
In his mind, Sandra’s current rejection was just a game of playing hard to get.
Not only was he not angry, but he was also thinking about how to suppress Tiffany and win Sandra’s favor.
Unexpectedly, after hanging up the phone, Sandra was so disgusted that she almost vomited. ‘If it weren’t for the fact that this idiot was still of use, I wouldn’t have stooped so low to play such a fool.
After leaving the dormitory, Sandra received a call from an unknown number on the way to the teaching building. She wanted to hang up directly, but after hesitating for two seconds, she chose to answer.
Selena’s voice came from the other end.
“Mom?” Sandra was shocked. She immediately looked around and lowered her voice. “How dare you call me? If you’re caught, I won’t be able to protect you!”
Selena said, “Oh, Sandra, I really have no choice. During this period of time, I listened to you and hid in the mountains. I couldn’t eat well or sleep well. I’m tortured and look much older I just wanted to come and see you. After all, it’s been so long since that warrant. Maybe they’ve already forgotten!”
These words made Sandra furious. “Even if you forget, they won’t! Think about it. Once you appear, will the Kelley family let you off?”
However, since things had come to this, Sandra could only say, “Forget it. I’ll give you money. You can rent a place to stay. You can’t go out and show off, understand?”
“Oh, I know I definitely won’t run around.” Selena agreed immediately.
Just like that, Sandra transferred all the money she had on. These were all given to her by Jordan. All of them added up to over a hundred thousand dollars! Jordan was indeed the son of an extravagant upstart.
In front of Kenneth, Sandra had always maintained a pure and gentle image.
Therefore, the meticulous and considerate Kenneth would never taint her with money. It was just that the things he occasionally gave her were expensive. He was the one who paid for all kinds of expenses when they went out to eat.
Although Charlie chased her out, he did not treat her badly. Other than the school’s accommodation and food expenses, he would also give her some pocket money.
In that case, it was not difficult for her to support
Selena.
However, Sandra never expected that when she went to see Selena the next day, she would be stunned by Selena’s extravagant spending!
Selena rented a luxuriously decorated apartment by the river, hired two nannies to do laundry, cook, and clean, and even bought a few bags worth thousands of dollars and a cabinet full of branded clothes!
Just with this one day of crazy spending, nearly all of the 100 thousand dollars was gone…
Sandra had thought that it would be very heartwarming to meet again after not seeing each other for a long time, but she was pi**d off. ‘It’s not heartwarming at all
She roared, “Mom, are you crazy? Do you still think this is the Kelley family? Do you think someone is spoiling you for spending money without any bottom line?”
Selena was admiring the newly bought jewelry in her hand. When she heard this, she was immediately unhappy. “Why? Are you going to fall out with me too? I’ve suffered so much in that d*n m*ountain. What’s wrong with enjoying my life now?”
She originally went from frugality to extravagance, from being in a remote countryside to being brought to Lovell City by Charlie.
In the Kelley family, there were servants taking care of everything. She could be considered the hostess. Her life was so comfortable!
What about now? She had dug her own grave and ended up in such a state, and she refused to live a poor life again.
For the first time, they quarreled and parted on bad terms during the argument.
Sandra took it that she did not have a mother who was a burden, so she simply ignored Selena.
However, in less than two days, Selena called to say that she was out of money and asked Sandra to think of a way. Sandra naturally refused.
However, Selena said, “If you really don’t have the money to pay me, I’ll look for Kenneth to help. I’m sure he’ll help me on your account.” This sentence was already a threat!
How Sandra allow her to find Kenneth? ‘Having the parents of a wanted criminal is already a stain in my life. If Kenneth sees my mother’s despicable face, his feelings for me would probably greatly diminish!’
Sandra would never allow such a thing to happen, so she gritted her teeth and compromised.
However, Selena became more and more unreasonable. When Sandra was angry, Selena even said casually, “It’s fine, Sandra.
doesn’t he?” Go ask them for money. Even if Kenneth doesn’t give you money, Mr. Booth likes you,
‘I really can’t believe that these words came from my own mother! What has she experienced during her time on the run? Even her temperament had changed!’ Sandra seemed to have thought of something. She raised her head in shock and asked with a serious expression, “Mom, tell me the truth. Did you… gamble?
Chapter 129
Selena’s hand paused, and her eyes began to flicker. “I’m betting small, and it doesn’t count as gambling…”
During her time in the mountains, Selena was led by several men. At first, she was wary of being captured, but later on, she became more relaxed and even started gambling.
At first, it was indeed a small bet, but gradually, she could not resist the temptation and started to bet on the big one.
The reason why she suddenly returned to the city from the mountains was not only to find Sandra but also to avoid debts.
Seeing her expression, Sandra understood everything. She tried her best to hold back her anger and asked, “How much do you owe?”
Selena murmured, “Not much…”
“Tell me the truth!” Sandra roared.
“One hundred and sixty…” Selena hesitated.
“160 thousand dollars?” Sandra heaved a sigh of relief. 160 thousand dollars was alright. With just a few words, she could get that fool Jordan to send money over.
But Selena’s voice became even softer. “It’s 1.6 million dollars.”
“What?” Sandra almost fainted from anger when she heard that. “If you don’t want to live anymore, jump down from the building now. Don’t get me involved! I don’t have a mother like you who doesn’t know what’s important and only knows how to drag me down and cause trouble for me!”
Sandra thought, ‘1.6 million dollars! Where am I going to raise so much money?
‘Most importantly, this is clearly a trap.
‘Otherwise, why would the loan shark lend so much money to a penniless person who’s still on the run? It’s obvious that she can’t afford it.
‘It’s clear that he knows Selena’s identity and is using this to kill two birds with one stone. His true goal is to deal with me!’ Sandra had been on guard, but she did not expect that the person who involved her was actually her biological mother!
Selena felt a little guilty and said, “Sandra, it wasn’t easy for me to raise you. Now that you’ve grown up and become capable, you can’t ignore my life…”
“Don’t say it.” Sandra sighed weakly. “I’ll think of a way to get this money, but you have to promise me that you won’t touch the gambling table in the future. Also, return all the luxury goods in your house, including the house.”
Selena said, “Returning these doesn’t mean much, might as well keep them for me…”
“So just because it doesn’t mean much, you’re going to spend recklessly?” Sandra laughed in anger. “Have you ever thought about my situation? Let me tell you. After this, if you continue to be so muddle-headed, don’t say that I’m your daughter!”
“It won’t happen again…” Selena promised repeatedly, “I’ll return these things today! It’s all my fault. I’ll listen to you in the
future.”
Sandra left in disdain. In order to find a way to make up for this sum of money, Sandra had been struggling for a long time. She was torn between asking Kenneth for help and continuing to win over Jordan.
If Kenneth helped, the matter could be easily resolved.

However, the image that she had painstakingly built would definitely collapse. If word got out, the Harper family who already despised her would not let her stay by Kenneth’s side.
As for Jordan, he was stupid and rich. As long as she gave him some benefits, he would definitely be willing to repay her debt.

Just as she was hesitating, Jordan called her. He said excitedly, “Baby, there’s a racing car tonight. Do you want to watch it? I heard it’s very exciting!”
Hearing this greasy address, Sandra frowned. “I’ve said it many times. Don’t call me that.”
Jordan replied, “Alright. I won’t say it again. Don’t be angry.”
Sandra was satisfied and said, “I’ll go with you.”
Not long after, when Sandra recalled this moment, she felt that this was the worst choice she had ever made in her life!
Coincidentally, Tiffany went to the library to return the books after class. Ged chased after her and asked, “Boss, there’s a black market racing competition tonight. Do you want to watch it with me?”
Tiffany glanced at him. “Are you three or two years old? Do you still need an adult to accompany you when you go out to play?”
“Oh, no!” Ged stomped his feet anxiously. “This competition only happens once every three years! The venue is very exciting. It’s so boring for me to go alone! I just want you to accompany me…”
Tiffany exposed him with a fake smile. “But why do I remember that you called many classmates together in private?”
Ged’s face fell when he heard that. “You even found out about this…”
Men were naturally interested in these things, so he did ask out a few classmates. However, he did not expect Tiffany to know about it.
“Just say it. Why do I have to go?” asked Tiffany.
“Because…” Ged hesitated for a moment before telling the truth. Because I want to participate in the competition, so… want you to go to the venue. That way, I’ll be more confident…”
“Are you competing?” Tiffany was surprised.
I
There was a certain level of risk in this black market racing competition. If one played it well, it would bring honor. If one didn’t play it well, one might die!
‘I knew that he liked to challenge and take risks, but I didn’t expect him to be so bold!’ Tiffany’s gaze made Ged feel embarrassed. He was about to say that it was fine if she did not agree. There was no need to be torn.
However, Tiffany was the first to speak. “I’ll go with you.”
She couldn’t stop him, and she didn’t want to dampen Ged’s interest. In short, she was at the scene. Even if he was injured, she could save him.
Seeing Tiffany nod, Ged was so happy. “That’s great!”
“Let’s go.” After returning the book, Tiffany left the library with Ged.
However, she did not know that Kenneth was standing behind the tall bookshelf. He was holding a book that he was about to borrow, but he did not read a single word.
His mind was filled with the conversation between Tiffany and Ged.
In his impression, Ged had even challenged Tiffany. Their relationship was not good, but after a fo completely became the way the boss and the underling interacted.

“Their tacit understanding really makes me a little… jealous.’ Kenneth stuffed the book back in frustration.
However, he subconsciously left the school and head to.
toward the racing location that he had heard of but had never been
At eight o’clock in the evening, the arena was bustling with noise
The location was in the suburbs, and the crowd was surging.
More than ten drones were filming the competition in real time. The HD screen was connected so that the audience could see every racer’s update at any time.
The entire track had also been planned in advance. Starting from the starting point, they would circle up the mountain and then run down the mountain. Whoever rushed back to the finish line first would be the winner of this competition.
It sounded simple, but the dangers involved were unavoidable.
Zoe had never seen such a scene before. She only felt that it was too crazy. She followed Tiffany and said worriedly, “Tiffany, is Ged really going to participate in the competition? Although I despise him sometimes, he’s very loyal and is one of us. What if he…”
Before she could finish speaking, Ged, who was wearing his racing suit, stomped his feet and said, “Can’t you hope for me to be better? Can’t you expect me to win the championship?”
Zoe retorted, “Forget it. Do you really think you’re the God of Racing?”
“Then I must prove it to you. My strength can’t be underestimated!” Ged said.
The two of them started fighting as soon as they met. Tiffany was already used to it. She looked up at the countdown on the display screen. The competition would really begin in twenty minutes.
In order to save his life, Tiffany handed Ged a small paper bag and said, “If you’re unlucky and get injured, eat it.”
“What is this?” Ged opened it and saw that it was a chocolate bean. He was instantly amused. “Is this supper prepared for me? Alright, with the chocolates prepared by you, I’m even more confident!”
If the pill could speak, it would definitely jump up and scold, ‘Idiot, I’m not chocolate! I’m clearly a life-saving pill!’
Chapter 130
Taking such a pill in a life-threatening situation had a powerful effect on saving one’s life. It was life-prolonging. In terms of value, it was definitely an astronomical price!
Tiffany had always been generous to her own people, so she gave away the precious pill like candy without even blinking.
The competition was about to begin. Ged had already left the stage and sat in the car that had been checked.
The racers’ bets went on for quite some time.
Compared to other professional racers, Ged was at the bottom. No one was willing to lose money on him.
Zoe could not stand it anymore and said, “Tiffany, should we place a bet on him? It’s quite pitiful to see such a big loser.”
“Do you want to place a bet on him?” asked Tiffany.
Zoe said, “Is ten dollars enough?”
Tiffany was speechless.
Zoe was definitely not joking, because she really only had ten dollars of liquidity!
Tiffany could not help but laugh. She threw Zoe a black card and said, “I’ll wait for you here Go buy it for me.”
“How much?” Zoe asked.
Tiffany told her, “Just say betting. The staff will tell you how much to start at a time.”
“Okay.” Hence, Zoe took the card and left.
She thought that it would at most be dozens of dollars or a few hundred dollars, so when the staff smiled and told her that the minimum bet was twenty thousand dollars, she was stunned.
Before she could stop it, the card she handed out was swiped.
“Thank you for the bet. This is your voucher. Please keep it well,” said the staff.
When Zoe came back in a daze with the voucher, she looked like she was about to cry. Her heart was trembling. “Tiffany, I think I’m in trouble!”
Tiffany took a look and smiled lightly. “It’s not a big deal.” Her casual tone was like buying an ice cream.
Zoe was shocked. “That’s twenty thousand dollars! It’s killing me.
Although Tiffany did not blame her, Zoe was filled with frustration, “I thought dozens of dollars would be enough. If I had known, I wouldn’t have said anything about betting!”
Zoe thought, ‘Most importantly, spending this money on Ged is not worth it!’
Tiffany did not think much of it. She pulled Zoe to a small bar in the arena. “Let’s go there to rest and watch the competition.”
It was really noisy outside, but it was much quieter inside.
When Tiffany walked in with Zoe, the two delicate girls attracted a lot of attention the moment they appeared.
In particular, Tiffany’s natural aura, stunning face, and graceful figure made her the most dazzling focus of the crowd no matter where she went.
In an instant, a few people ran over to strike up a conversation.
Tiffany directly refused. Those people were unwilling to give up but retreated like gentlemen. No one dared to find trouble with them.
After all, those who came here were either rich or noble. Which rich person didn’t have some background?
Perhaps this girl was the daughter of a rich family or the companion of a young master.
When one didn’t know the situation, one shouldn’t offend others.
However, some people were stupid and rushed to court death.
Not long after the two of them sat down, a man in his forties walked over and stared at Zoe sinisterly. His fat face had a mocking smile. “Oh, so you broke off my engagement to curry-favor with someone better!”
Zoe was stunned when she saw the man. Some time ago, her parents forced her to get married. The betrothal gift she received was 100 thousand dollars from this man!
Although the money had been returned, there seemed to be some unpleasant issues in the end.
She could not be bothered to ask her brokenhearted parents, but she did not expect to meet the man here!
Zoe was a little angry. “I’ve already returned the money to you. I have nothing to do with you. Please understand this
However, the old man did not give up. He sneered, “I didn’t get any advantage, and you just returned the money. You’re really not showing me respect!” As he spoke, he reached out to grab her!
Zoe subconsciously took a step back, only to see a glass bottle suddenly shattered, and the fragments of the bottle mouth pierced into the back of Devin’s hand! Blood flowed.
Tiffany shook her head in disdain. “I mean, sir, you’re at such an old age, don’t you know how to be pragmatic? Always dreaming about the good things like chasing after young girls? Tsk tsk, have some shame!”
Only then did Devin discover the existence of Tiffany.
She was dressed in branded clothes, had a beautiful figure, and was stunningly beautiful. She had a noble aura and was definitely not from a small family.
Devin, on the other hand, thought that Tiffany must be a relative of the man Zoe who had just hooked up with. ‘Otherwise, with Zoe’s family background, how would she have the chance to come to this rich people’s gaming arena?’
He sneered and called a group of hooligans who were joining in the fun outside. He said, “Ten thousand dollars, tie these two girls up!”
After saying that, he even smashed a wine bottle, as if he wanted to return all the injuries on his hand.
When the group of hooligans heard that there was money, they immediately came over.
However, just as they met Tiffany, the hooligans were shocked. They were so frightened that they staggered and almost fell! “Why, why is it you…”
“Spare us. We’ll get lost now!”
Coincidentally, they were the losers who had caused trouble for Tiffany that morning and ended up being taught a lesson by Tiffany.
That day, they really listened to Tiffany and went to the security room to confess. They were locked up for a few days before they were released.
In the end, they came out to join in the fun today and bumped into someone they never wanted to see again in their lives!
All of them wished they could grow two more legs to run for their lives, but Tiffany smiled faintly. “Did I tell you to get lost?”
“No, no.” A group of hooligans who had been taught a lesson instinctively stopped and stood there uneasily.
Devin was stunned when he saw this. He shouted again, “Twenty thousand dollars! Do it!” “There will definitely be brave men under heavy rewards. I don’t believe that no one will be so tempted.
Speaking of which, the hooligans were indeed tempted. They secretly exchanged glances with each other, clearly discussing whether to stand up and take a gamble.
Then they heard a sneer.
Tiffany slowly walked out. Her gaze was disdainful, and her smile was still so casual. She casually threw a black card on the counter and said, “I’ll book this bar for tonight and pay for all the expenses. Serve the most expensive wine and drink as much as you want. So, does anyone have any objections to throwing this irksome thing out?”
Not only did they not have any objections, when Tiffany said that she would pay for all the expenses, everyone in the bar, be it the hooligans or the other customers, was in an uproar.
All of them cheered, “Alright! Throw him out!”
“Seriously, what a disgrace!”
All the expenses added up to at least hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Compared to this, a mere twenty thousand dollars to hire a group of hooligans as fighters was not even as much as a table of wine. It was simply too embarrassing.
Devin had never seen such a scene before. ‘I thought she was just boasting, but she just swiped her card and bought all the wine in the entire bar! This bill cost a million dollars. Extravagant!’
Devin was not a rich man. All his asserts combined could not compare to Tiffany’s cost on this meal.
Hence, under the ridicule of the crowd, he prepared to leave dejectedly.
These hooligans were quite sensible. They followed Tiffany’s words and would never let Devin walk out. They really went forward to lift him up and throw him out in public. “Bye!”
