Keh waspletely baffled by the absurd dorm assignment.


    It was already June, and with summer break approaching, sses were bing more intense. Dorm living was mandatory, but being assigned to share a room with Tiffany? It had to be some kind of mixup.


    After a moment of shock, Keh convinced himself that this was all Tiffany’s doing.


    She imed she wanted to break off the engagement, yet somehow managed to keep his parents from agreeing.


    Now she was inserting herself into his life again, trying to catch his attention and create opportunities for them to be together.


    The thought made Keh feel sick.


    He mmed the dorm assignment notice onto Tiffany’s desk, barely containing his “You were behind this, weren’t you? Impressive, Tiffany. I really underestimated you!” Tiffany nced at the notice and quickly pieced it together anger.


    She didn’t know who had arranged for them to room together, but Keh was clearly ming her. She couldn’t believe how far his imagination had taken him.


    Seeing Keh’s furious expression, Tiffany couldn’t help butugh.


    “What makes you think you’re so special?” she retorted. “Instead of using me, why don’t you ask your parents?”


    This arrangement couldn’t have happened without the Harpers’ approval. Ever since they refused to end the engagement, Tiffany had been left wondering what they saw in her.


    They’d never liked her, yet they wouldn’t agree to break things off, even going so far as to pressure her family.


    After speaking her mind, Tiffany waved Keh away. “You’re blocking my light. Move along”


    For what felt like the hundredth time, Keh left the ssroom, seething.


    Sandra, meanwhile, had wisely stayed out of the recent attempts to undermine Tiffany. After herst encounter with Tiffany, she’d learned to bide her time.


    She was determined to avoid mistakes and wait patiently for her father’s n to seed.


    But today, every line on the dorm assignment list felt like a stab to Sandra’s heart. Tiffany and Keh living under the same roof? If Keh started to fall for Tiffany, where would that leave me?”


    As Sandra hesitated, torn about what to do, Tiffany tapped her on the shoulder. “Your precious Keh just left. Aren’t you going to chase after him?”


    “What do you mean?” Sandra asked, suspicion creeping into her voice.


    Ignoring Sandra’s wary expression, Tiffany offered a cryptic suggestion. “Even if you can’t change the arrangement, you could always add another person to the mix…”


    With that, Tiffany walked away.


    The Harpers had likely arranged the assignments, so a change seemed unlikely. Since Tiffany wasn’t thrilled about living with Keh either, bringing Sandra into the situation might stir up some entertaining drama when Keh’s dream girl eventually showed up.


    Sandra’s eyes lit eyes lit up at Tiffany’s words. Of course! If she could move in too, she could prevent anything from happening between Tiffany and Keh, while also getting closer to him herself.


    It was the perfect n.


    With this new focus, Sandra bolted from the ssroom, chasing after Keh.


    Tiffany leaned back in her chair, stifling a yawn. She knew Sandra would seed. After all, if Sandra couldn’t manage this, how had she fooled everyone with her seemingly kind-hearted act in Tiffany’s past life?


    Sure enough, two hourster, Sandra’s name appeared on the dorm assignment list.


    The new arrangements were implemented quickly. After sses that afternoon, everyone. headed to their assigned dorms to settle in. Being a private, elite school, the amodations were top-notch. Everything was meticulously arranged, with new bedding and essentials provided.


    Tiffany and Keh were assigned to an apartment-style dorm with two floors and three bedrooms-two rooms upstairs, one downstairs.


    Tiffany walked in and confidently imed thergest, nicest room on the second floor. She definitely wasn’t one to settle for less.


    Keh initially wanted to give the upstairs room to Sandra, but the housekeeper stopped him. “Mr. Harper, your mother has already made a big concession. Please don’t make this difficult for us.”


    Sandra, though disappointed, knew she was lucky to be there at all. She couldn’t risk making a fuss. Instead, she gazed at Keh adoringly. “It’s okay, Keh. Just seeing you every day is enough for me.”


    “Alright then,” Keh conceded.


    So Tiffany and Keh ended up on the second floor, their rooms side by side with adjoining balconies.


    Tiffany couldn’t care less about the budding romance downstairs. She shut her door and started settling in,pletely unbothered.


    The room was spotless, leaving little to organize Still, Tiffany was cautious. She carefully checked for any hidden cameras or bugs. Thankfully, she found nothing.


    Just as she sat down, her phone rang. It was Uncle Owen.


    Owen was a longtime shareholder in the Kelley familypany and the only person who’d helped the family in the past. She trusted himpletely. She’d asked him to keep an eye on Stan at thepany.


    And it seemed he had news.


    “Hello, Uncle Owen. Any updates?” Tiffany answered.


    “It’s going as you predicted. He took the bait. The deal’s set for 9 PM tonight at the Skyline Bar.”


    Owen paused, then added with concern, “Tiffany, why are you keeping this from your father? This kind of loss isn’t something to take lightly.”


    “I know. I’ll handle it. Thanks, Uncle Owen. I really appreciate your help!” Tiffany added a touch of warmth to her voice.


    She could hear Owen rx on the other end of the line. And with that, he decided not to pursue the matter any further.


    After hanging up, a small smile yed on Tiffany’s lips. Finally, after days of waiting, things were falling into ce.


    Ever since overhearing Sandra and her mother’s conversation, Tiffany knew exactly what they were nning.-


    Around this time, Stan had embezzled a wh**ing one million and two hundred thousand dors from thepany through shady deals in the purchasing department.


    That money was meant for high-quality steel. Instead, Stan had substituted experimental materials, leading to a major structural copse that imed the lives of three workers and led to awsuit from the project’s client.


    That single incident sent shockwaves through thepany. The Kelley Corporation’s reputation plummeted, and their stock took a nosedive. Charlie became a public pariah, and the financial losses were devastating.


    And Stan, the man who pocketed the money? He put on quite a show. Kneeling before Charlie, he wept and pleaded, iming he was just an inexperienced victim of a scam. His performance was Oscar-worthy.


    The most frustrating part? Charlie actually believed him.


    That was why when Uncle Owen asked Tiffany why she wasn’t telling her father about this, she hesitated. What good would just talking do?


    Tiffany wasn’t about to let Stan get away with it this time.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
