Chapter 697

    Tiffany hadn’t seen Molly in a few days.


    Ever since Molly had turned Jeffrey in, Tiffany had stopped following news about the Ruiz family.


    Tiffany had heard, however, that Jeffrey’s wife had made a scene several times, sitting at the entrance of the Cedar Ridge Vi to cause trouble. Eventually, after repeated attempts, Jeffrey’s wife was thrown out by the security team at Thalia’s orders.


    Jeffrey’s trial moved quickly. He had attempted murder, escaped custody, injured a forest ranger, and even assaulted the ranger’s daughter.


    The charges stacked up, and he <b>was </b>sentenced to death.


    When the verdict was announced, Jeffrey’s wife caused even more chaos. On the worst day of her protests, it was <b>revealed </b>that Jeffrey’spany had copsed. His secretary had run off with arge sum of money<b>, </b>and investigations revealed the two had been in a secret rtionship.


    The Ruiz family fell apart under the weight of the scandal and the debts left behind.


    Tiffany came downstairs to find Molly waiting on the sofa.


    Hearing footsteps, Molly stood up with a smile. “Little cousin, it’s been days since Ist saw you. You’ve lost weight


    Tiffany smiled faintly and sat down. “I haven’t had much of an appetitetely.” Without hesitation, she asked, “Cousin, are you here for help?”


    Tiffany had heard about the Ruiz family’s downfall. Thalia had made it clear she wouldn’t do more than ens survival. If Molly was here, it must be rted to that.

    But Molly shook her head. “No, thepany’s debts have mostly been cleared by selling off properties and <b>assets</b>. That’s not why I’m here,”


    Tiffany nodded, waiting for her to exin.


    “I’m going abroad to study,” Molly said. “You know my father never supported the research field I was passionate about. Now while I’m <b>still </b>young, I want to try again. I came to say goodbye”


    Tiffany’s <b>eyes </b>softened. “That’s a great idea. When are you leaving?<b>” </b>


    “Tomorrow.”


    “So soon?” Tiffany <b>was </b>surprised.


    Tiffany had always seen Molly <b>as </b><b>a </b>quiet<b><i>, </i></b>obedient girl, someone who rarely pushed back against her parents. Even <b>when </b>Molly wanted something different, she’d be scolded by Jeffrey and his wife and quickly retreat to herpliant ways.


    Now, with the family in ruins, Molly seemed free. <b>There </b><b>was </b>no sign <i>of </i>defeat in her demeanor, only determination and hope.


    “<b>You’ve </b>changed, Tiffany remarked.


    “<b>I </b><b>feel </b>like that too,” Molly admitted. “For so long<b>, </b><b>I </b>admired my <b>father</b><b>, </b>thought he <b>was </b><b>a </b><b>man </b><b>to </b><b>look </b><b>up </b><b>to</b>. <b>But </b><b>I </b><b>now </b><b>see </b><b>what </b><b>he’s </b>really <b>like</b><b>. </b><b>I </b>don’t pity him. He <b>deserves </b>everything that’s <b>happened </b><b>to </b>him.”


    <b>Molly </b><b>paused</b>, then <b>smiled </b><b>wryly</b>. “<b>Hearing </b><b>me </b><b>talk </b>like <b>this</b><b>, </b>do <b>you </b><b>think </b><b>I’m </b><b>heartless </b>too


    “Too<b>? </b><b>Is </b>that what your family thinks of you<b>?</b><b>” </b>Tiffany asked, catching the hint in Molly’s words.


    <b>82</b>%


    When Jeffrey <b>was </b>on the run, he had called home demanding money to help him hide. Molly refused and even urged him <b>to </b>surrender. When he wouldn’t<b>, </b>she reported him to the police. N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    To the Ruiz family, this <b>was </b>an unforgivable betrayal. Jeffrey hadbeled her heartless and disobedient.


    Molly hesitated, then sighed. “Part of the reason I’m leaving is because of that.”


    But Molly didn’t regret it. She did the right thing and her conscience was clear.


    She stood up, a lightness in her movements<b>. </b>“I should go. Don’t worry about me. <b>I’ll </b>take <b>care </b>of myself. But you’ve lost too much weight.”


    “I’ll take you to the airport tomorrow,” Tiffany said.


    “Okay.”


    Molly smiled, grateful. She knew she might not return for <b>years</b><b>, </b>and this could be theirst meeting for a long <b>time</b><b>. </b>


    “Thank you, Tiffany,” Molly said.


    “There’s nothing to thank me for,” Tiffany said.


    Tiffany reached into her bag and pulled out a card, pressing it into Molly’s hand before she could refuse. “<b>It’s </b>100 thousand dors. Take it.”


    Molly blinked in surprise. “I can’t take this.”


    “<b>It’s </b>yours.”


    Tiffany remembered how, in the previous lifetime, Thalia had <b>once </b>gone to the Ruiz family for help, only be humiliated and turned away with a mere ten thousand dors. It was Molly who had secretly given Thalia <b>a </b>card with all <b>her </b>savings<b>, </b>50 thousand dors.


    Now, Tiffany was paying Molly back double.


    “Take <i>it</i>,” Tiffany said, patting Molly’s shoulder and walking her to the door. “You leave tomorrow. Go pack your things.<b>” </b>


    “Alright.”


    <b>As </b>Molly walked away, Tiffany turned back toward the vi. But after just a few steps, she was hit by a wave of nausea. Covering her mouth, she rushed inside and barely made it to the bathroom before throwing up.


    June was rmed and stayed near the door. “Ms. Kelley, are you alright?“)


    Tiffany’s voice came weakly through the sound of running water “I’m fine.”


    “Are you sure? Maybe you should go to the hospital,” June said worriedly.


    When Tiffany finally emerged, she looked pale but steady.


    June frowned and suddenly grabbed Tiffany’s wrist. Being someone from Miracle Healer<b>, </b>June <b>knew </b>enough <b>to </b>check <b><i>for </i></b>the <b>cause </b>of an <b>illness</b>.


    Tiffany tried to pull <b>away</b><b>, </b>but it was toote.
