Ged did not expose her.


    It was the same for Zoc


    The two of them chatted andughed as usual, walking alongside Tiffany as they left the school together.


    At the school gate, a low-profile yet undeniably luxurious ck luxury car was already waiting there


    The emblem exclusive to the Hampton family exuded a sense of authority and invibility.


    Seeing this. Zor and Ged exchanged a nce and immediately found an excuse to leave.


    This was a disy of self-awareness from the third wheels.


    They were so quick that Tiffany could not even stops them in time. She could only watch as the two of them slipped away Meanwhile, John had already opened the car door and bowed. Please get


    Tiffany stood there in silence.


    She rubbed her nose.


    She had been crying on the phone toin earlier, acting as if she had suffered a great injustice.


    If Richard finds out that my hand is only slightly scratched, will I be beaten up? she thought.


    Just as she was hesitating, a pair of strong hands reached out and pulled her into the car.


    Tiffany was caught off guard and fell into Richard’s arms.


    A crisp and soothing fragrance wafted to her nose, bringing with it a sense of calm.


    Tiffany decided not to hide anymore and found afortable position to settle down in Richard’s arms.


    She leaned back in his armszily, looking very much like Lucifer.


    She even muttered, I’m not running anymore… On ount of my beauty, Richard probably won’t bear to beat me up.”


    Tiffany, the little narcissist, never missed a chance to praise herself.


    Richard found it fuhny and asked, “Why will I beat you up?”


    ‘Am I that fierce?’ he wondered.


    “Because…”


    Tiffany stretched out her hand and blinked innocently as she replied. “Because if you didn’te, my injury would have almost healed. I deliberately pretended to be pitiful. It would be uneptable if I didn’t get beaten up.”


    In the front seat, John could not help butugh at her words.


    The next second, a cold and warning gazended on his back.


    John froze and silently lowered the privacy curtain between the front and back seats.


    His life was more important,


    Richard took Tiffany’s hand without hesitation and used the prepared first aid kit to disinfect her wound and apply medicine to it.


    His movements were gentle and meticulous, and his lowered eyshes cast shadows over his eyes, softening the harshness. and revealing an indescribable tenderness,


    Even his profile was strikingly handsome, perfect, and wless. From any angle, he looked like a captivating painting


    Tiffany stared at him in a daze.


    To outsiders, Richard was a demon, a business tycoon whose mere words could send someone plummeting from cloud nine to hell.


    However, to her, he was her salvation and the warmth that she stumbled upon unexpectedly.


    Perhaps because she had been staring at him for a long time, Richard smiled and said in a teasing tone, “I haven’t done anything yet. Why are you blushing?”


    Tiffany suddenly came back to her senses and touched her face.


    ‘My face isn’t hot… she thought.


    She looked over in confusion, just in time to catch a glimpse of the deep mischief in the man’s eyes.ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    She had been tricked!


    Tiffany turned her face away. She snorted and wanted to withdraw her hand. “It’s just a small injury. There’s actually no need to apply medicine at all.


    However, Richard’s next words caught her off guard.


    “Any matter rting to you is important to me.”


    This time, Tiffany blushed.


    As she gazed into Richard’s intense, burning gaze, Tiffany felt trapped with no way out. The next moment, a gentle kissnded on her forehead.


    It was restrained and courteous, yet charged with hidden emotions.


    The temperature in the car abruptly rose, stirring up ripples on the calm surface and clouding her clear thoughts.


    Suddenly, Tiffany’s phone rang.


    It shocked the two of them back to their senses.


    Tiffany was embarrassed. When she saw that it was June, she quickly answered the call.


    “We caught someone who was at the scene and imed to have a photo. Do you want to interrogate him?” June asked.


    “Yes, I’ll go back now, Tiffany said.


    With regard to Alexia being kidnapped and photographed, along with Jade’s death, the mastermind had been confirmed to be Melody. The only ones who could be working closely with her were Jansen and his group.


    Therefore, during this period, in addition to scaring Melody, Tiffany also had June secretly keep an eye on Jansen and the others.


    With the photos in their possession, this group was bound to stir up trouble.


    For example, they might try to sell it for a good price.


    If they had remained inactive, no one would have any evidence to suspect them. But with these photos now revealed, the implications were entirely different.


    One member of Jansen’s team, Den Jahn, had been secretly reaching out to potential buyers.


    June pretended to be a rich man and lured him out. Then, she knocked him out and brought him back to Luna Vi.


    Her actions were decisive and swift.


    Tiffany did not dy. After hanging up the phone, she shook Richard’s hand and said coquettishly, “Can you send me to Luna Vi? Please?”


    What else could Richard, who dropped a whole slew of important business matters toe and be the knight in shining armor, do?


    He could only indulge her..


    He immediately gave John an order. “Drive to Luna Vi.”


    Before getting out of the car at Luna Vi, Tiffany behaved sweetly and kissed Richard on the check before running into the vi.


    At least she has a conscience, Richard thought.


    He smiled gently, his eyes filled with gentleness and love.


    “Back to the office”


    John turned the car around and left. At the same time. Tiffany ran straight to the backyard of the vi.


    In the pavilion, a man with his hands and feet tied red at them angrily. Clearly, this was the person June had captured.


    “Your name is Den?”


    Tiffany walked into the pavilion and sat down leisurely on a rattan chair.


    But the other party clearly had some backbone and let out a coldugh, refusing to respond to Tiffany,


    Tiffany thought, ‘Oh? He’s still so arrogant despite being our prisoner?


    She waved her hand. “Deal with him!”


    Jeremy, who was behind Tiffany, immediately walked forward and kicked him. The person who had just been so full of himself was now curled up like a weak shrimp, crying out in pain.


    “Den! I am Den!” the man yelled.


    “That’s more like it. When I tell you to speak, you should speak, and when I tell you to shut up, you should keep your mouth shut. Do you understand?” Tiffany asked.


    She wore a beaming smile, her exquisite and beautiful face resembling that of an angel, yet her attitude was more menacing than that of a devil Den was in despair.


    Tiffany asked him a second-question.


    “You have the photos in your possession? Let me have a look at them.”


    Den said. “Huh?”


    He looked confused. It was obvious that he nned to y dur. “Photos? What photos? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”


    Tiffany gave a half-smile.


    “My patience is limited. You have to think carefully before you speak,” she said.


    “I really don’t know anything.” Den insisted.


    He could admit to other things, but he could not afford to let those photose to light. Once they did, he would be implicated as one of Alexia’s kidnappers.


    He would go to jail!


    Den deeply regretted his actions now.


    If he had known that someone was watching his every move, he would not have been greedy. He would not have disregarded others’ advice and tried to make a quick buck while the situation was still so tense.


    And now he had been captured!


    The only way for him to clear his name now was to deny everything.
