Her Story: Rise Of Tiffany

Chapter 691

Where is Tiffany? Richard panicked.

He searched the bedroom and then rushed downstairs.

The servant on duty was dozing off when she suddenly saw a tall figure rush down. She was startled awake, standing up respectfully and asking, “Mr. Hampton, is there anything I can do for you?”

“Where is my wife?” Richard’s face was grim. He looked intimidating and terrifying.

The servant was shocked. She stuttered, “Mrs. Hampton? After she returned, she stayed in her room and hasn’t come out.”

Unsure if she had answered correctly, the servant hesitated and added, “Mr. Hampton, what’s wrong? Is Mrs. Hampton missing?”

Richard didn’t respond to her, the cold and oppressive aura around him growing stronger. He strode out of the villa. Outside, Garry and John were still chatting. They froze when they saw Richard.

“What… What happened?”

Richard ignored them, got into his car, and drove off.

The engine roared in the still night. With a stomp on the gas, he sped away from Royal Bay at breakneck speed. Behind him, Garry and John recovered from their shock. They quickly reacted and got in another car to follow.

Neither of them had any mood to joke now. They were filled with confusion and concern.

Just moments ago, everything seemed fine. However, it took a turn for the worse immediately.

Thinking about how Richard had stormed out of the villa with such a menacing air, Garry and John’s faces turned serious. The last time they saw Richard like this was at the engagement party when Felix hypnotized Tiffany and stabbed him.

Now, seeing Richard like this again, they feared something was very wrong.

They pressed the accelerator all the way down, but even so, they couldn’t catch up to Richard.

At Luna Villa, the moon hung brightly in the sky.

The bright moonlight hung on the branches.

In the stillness, the sound of tires screeching suddenly broke the silence. Richard slammed on the brakes and stepped out of

the car.

The villa in front of him was dark, every window shut tight. It felt like an unspoken rejection.

As he took a step forward, the iron gate immediately emitted a warning alarm, followed by the flashing, menacing lights of an electric fence.

The entire villa was surrounded by a high–tech security system. Like a heavily guarded prison, it was impenetrable to anyone, including Richard.

Richard lowered his gaze.

He had arranged the advanced security system for Luna Villa. He was worried about Tiffany’s safety, fearing someone like Felix or others with special abilities might pose a threat to her.

This system was supposed to ensure that no one could break in

Yet, Richard didn’t expect the first person to be blocked was not anyone else, but himself.

Richard stepped back, leaning against the car.

He raised his eyes to look toward Tiffany’s bedroom. But all he could see were tightly drawn curtains, not a single ray of light pecking through, as if she had already gone to bed.

A few minutes behind, Garry and John arrived at the scene and saw Richard waiting at the door. They were both stunned and called out, “Richard?”

“Mr. Hampton?”

They had never seen Richard like this.

His tall, dignified figure was shrouded in darkness. The man who was usually above everyone else now appeared alone and utterly pitiful.

Garry and John exchanged a glance and approached, ready to ring the doorbell. However, Richard didn’t even lift his head and coldly said, “Get lost.”

Garry and John felt a chill run down their spines. There were many things they wanted to say. But when they met Richard’s cold, emotionless gaze, all they could do was nod in silence.

“Yes” they muttered and got into their cars to leave.

However, unable to shake their concern, they didn’t drive far and stopped two miles away from Luna Villa.

After discussing it briefly, they decided to call Sidney. “What should we do?”

Sidney rubbed his aching head and sighed after hearing the news. “You should head back. We outsiders can’t interfere with their relationship. We’ll only make things worse.”

Especially since they didn’t know the full context.

Garry thought it over and agreed. He suppressed his worries and headed back to Royal Bay first.

Back at the scene, Richard dialed Tiffany again. One call after another, but all went unanswered.

Sitting on the large bed, Tiffany had only one lamp on, casting a dim yellow glow in the room. Despite the warm light, she felt a deep chill in her limbs, as though her heart was sinking in the cold depths of the sea.

Her phone vibrated again. This was the seventeenth call.

Tiffany took a deep breath, and just as the phone’s battery was nearly depleted, she answered the call.

Downstairs, Richard froze for a moment, thinking this call would also go unanswered. Still, it was better than her not answering at all.

Richard said, “Darling.”

His magnetic voice reached her ears, and her hand trembled. Yet, her voice was unnervingly calm. “Mr. Hampton, is there something you need?”

Hearing the polite and distant address, Richard frowned. His usually handsome face now carried a sense of helplessness an

restraint.

After a brief silence, he spoke again. “Are you not going to ask me anything? Are you just sentencing me without knowing th

truth?”

Tiffany let out a sarcastic laugh.

Back at Kajus’s castle, she had asked him once after hearing Cecelia’s words. But his response back then had been nothing but denial and avoidance.

Instead, she got the answer from the Treasure Box. Now, there was no point in asking further.

With a bitter laugh, Tiffany said, “Let it be.”

She was about to hang up the phone when Richard’s voice interrupted her. “I want to know why you’re angry, why you worl ́t see me, why you left me.”

“Do you want to know?” Tiffany took a deep breath, suppressing the frustration building up in her chest. “Then let me ask you one question first. Who is Jennie Vallgren?”

Her fingers turned white as she gripped the phone. Even her breath hitched. She was waiting for that answer, the one that would only humiliate herself further. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Richard fell silent.

Seconds passed, each one feeling painfully long.

After along time, he finally said with a hoarse voice, “Let me explain. She…

Before he could finish, the call was abruptly cut off. When he tried to dial again, it went unanswered.

Richard stared in the direction of Luna Villa’s second floor and frowned.

Tiffany’s phone powered off automatically.

Tiffany exhaled, perhaps relieved that the phone had shut off, sparing her from hearing the things she didn’t want to know. It prevented her from losing the last shred of dignity when faced with the crushing truth.

She tossed the phone aside and lay down in bed.

As soon as she closed her eyes, memories of her time with Richard flooded her mind.

She had once vowed to forever believe in him. She had believed it.

But after hearing what the Treasure Box had told her, she realized that all the kindness he had shown her in the months was actually because of another woman.

All those sweet moments now turned into nothing more than cruel mockery.
