Her Story: Rise Of Tiffany

However, the first person he asked about was Tiffany.

Sidney didn’t know how to answer. ‘What could I say? Should I say that since the day engagement party, Tiffany has never come again after she was rejected outside the Royal Bay? There are even rumors that Tiffany, this ungrateful, cold–blooded, and heartless woman, has abandoned a pile of mess and gone on a leisurely trip!’

He did not dare to say this. He was afraid that if he really said it, Richard would be completely disappointed and crazy.

“Tiffany isn’t here… She’s fine, but she doesn’t have time to visit you.” Sidney lied without changing his expression.

But how could Richard not know? He was so sharp.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became even more oppressive.

Richard’s restrained and vicious voice sounded again, “Speak the truth.” These three words were filled with boundless killing intent.

Sidney’s heart trembled and he almost bit his tongue.

Amidst this faint threat, he sighed and said helplessly, “Tiffany didn’t come. I heard that she went on a trip to relax. But you can’t blame her. The rumors are so unpleasant. Besides, even if she came to see you, no one let her enter the Royal Bay…”

Sidney tried his best to put in a good word. However, he heard a low laugh. The laughter that came out of Richard’s throat was so cold that it shocked Sidney’s heart. It was filled with self–mockery and an indescribable bitterness.

Richard lowered his eyes in bed. His handsome and devilish face carried a heart–wrenching self–deprecation. However, after a moment, he raised his head, and there was only brutality and viciousness in his scarlet eyes.

Overnight, Sidney seemed to have seen the Richard from three years ago.

His status was high and mighty, and everything in the world was at his fingertips. However, at that time, it was also his darkest time. He was brutal, vicious, unreasonable, and ruthless. These were the evaluations people had of him.

Sidney sighed in his heart. He wanted to change the topic, but he pretended that nothing had happened and smiled. “Looks like the medicine I gave you just now is quite effective.”

“Yeah,” Richard casually replied with a nasal sound, completely unconcerned about all of this.

Sidney continued, “This medicine was sent by Grelle.”

“I don’t know her.” Richard had no recollection of Grelle at all and answered without thinking.

He looked at Sidney indifferently. “Go out.”

‘He has just woken up and is already chasing me away… Sidney whined a little, but under Richard’s indifferent gaze, he quickly turned around and left the bedroom. If he didn’t leave now, he would cry from being beaten up.

Richard pulled out the needle and sat up on the bed.

He went straight into the bathroom and tore open his snow–white shirt.

In the mirror, his firm chest was exposed, and his abs were clearly visible. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist. His figure was so good that it made one’s blood boil.

But there was a circle of white gauze on his chest. Richard casually tore off the gauze. A deep scar was still on it.

‘So that was not my dream… Richard smiled bitterly. He had tried his best to give her the most perfect engagement party, telling the world that from now on, she was his woman.

He had been looking forward to it for so long and had planned it carefully for so long. What awaited him was the coldness of the knife piercing into his heart.

Richard pursed his thin lips tightly. Even now, he could still clearly recall Tiffany’s heartless and cold smile.

She said word by word, “I just want to use you as my stepping stone. I just want to take revenge on the Harper family. Now that I’ve achieved my goal, do you think I really love you? Wrong.

“I’ve never liked you. I’ve never had any feelings for you. Not even a little bit. You’re the one who’s stupid enough to be used by me…”

The knife stabbed into his heart could never win against her cold words.

Was that really what Tiffany said?‘ Richard closed his eyes. He had also confirmed that the person at that moment was Tiffany. There was no swap, no disguise, and no replacement.

‘Was it all her heartfelt words?‘ The more he thought about it, the more his heart felt like it was filled with wind. It was cold to the bone and heart–wrenching.

Richard turned around and turned on the switch. The shower was turned on and hot water poured down.

The bathroom was filled with steam, and the figure reflected in the mirror became more and more blurry.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

However, no matter how much he tried to warm his frozen heart, the bone–chilling temperature could not dissipate. She didn’t even look at him when he was in a coma.

Richard closed his eyes tightly. He forced himself not to think about it, but he suddenly felt a chill on his neck.

He lowered his head and saw the silver full moon hanging around his neck. This was given to him by Tiffany.

That night, she smiled brightly. Her cheeks were red, and her eyes were like stars in the sky.

She said that she had worn this pendant since she was young and that it was a gift to him.

‘Could it be that she was doing all this for her own gain? Was she deliberately getting close to me?‘ Richard pulled hard, trying to pull the rope off.

However, the rope did not move at all. Only then did he remember that when Tiffany gave it to him, he made it a dead knot to prevent himself from accidentally losing it. Other than cutting it off with scissors, he had to wear it for the rest of his life.

He couldn’t bear to cut it. “Then just leave it here. I will be trapped for the rest of my life. But I accept it.

Richard let go. The heat in the bathroom kept rising, but what he didn’t know was that the wound that was soaked in hot water would have relapsed or even become inflamed. However, the silver full moon on his neck once again flashed with a dark blue light.

*****

Sidney went downstairs and saw that Grelle was still waiting in the living room of the villa.

Seeing him come down, Grelle asked nervously, “How is he? Is Mr. Hampton okay? Is that medicine useful?”

“Yes…” Sidney nodded seriously. “Thank you for the medicine. Mr. Hampton is awake, but he needs to rest now and can’t meet guests. Anyway, thank you. What reward do you want?”

This was the best way to settle the transaction without owing anyone.

However, Grelle’s face turned pale. She bit her lip and said, “I’ve said it before. I’m not here for any reward. I really just want to see Mr. Hampton good. I don’t mean anything else…”

If there was no such meaning, it meant that she admired Richard. After all, Grelle had been by Richard’s side during those few days in Melvor Mountain.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell what she was thinking back then.

Sidney smiled and did not force anything. He only said, “Where are you staying? I’ll get someone to send you back.”

“I live in…” Grelle waved her hand and said, “No, no. My place is a little remote. I can go back alone. There’s no need to trouble you to send me.”

Sidney said, “It doesn’t matter.”

Under his insistence, Grelle finally told him the location.
