Tiffany lowered her head and subconsciously tightened her grip on the blanket.
Jeremy continued, "There's not a single person in Lovell City who can injure him to this extent. What do you think?" Tiffany's head suddenly snapped up.
Jeremy was right.
In fact, not a single person in the whole world could injure Richard Hamptori.
He had so many subordinates around him, and he had his own superpower. Who could injure him? Who would dare to injure him? Moreover, the timing was so uncanny. It happened on that very tight too....
Tiffany tossed the blanket aside suddenly and got up. She put on her shoes hurriedly, jumped out of the window, and went in pursuit.
Jeremy remained where he was, as still as death.
There were no pedestrians on the streets at this late hour.
It was still drizzling, and the yellow streetlights cast long shadows.
Tiffany followed the path Richard had taken.
However, the luxurious black car had long disappeared. She couldn't possibly run after him on foot.
Tiffany was very frustrated.
She decided that when she returned from the mountains this time, she had to learn how to drive. This have to depend on the driver every tshe wanted to go out.
She sighed and turned to go back.
On her way back, she caught sight of a black tabby running off somewhere.
Black... black tabby? way, she wouldn't Tiffany frowned. She suddenly recalled the tshe flew to the small border town in Misty Ridge to look for medicinal herbs. She had been pushed down the rocky slopes and saw that man in the pool.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe mysterious man also had an identical black tabby perched on his shoulder.
Tiffany didn't think further and went after the black tabby immediately.
However, the black tabby was too quick. Tiffany almost lost it several times. Fortunately, she relied on the faint sandalwood scent on the black cat to keep up..
That cat finally ran into a brightly lit villa.
Oddly enough, the design of this villa was the sas the castle she had seen in the small border town.
It was highly unlikely that two identical castle-like buildings with identical black tabbies could exist at the stime.
Tiffany becsuspicious. Was this castle-like villa connected to the man she had met at Misty Ridge? At this moment, the door of the villa suddenly opened. Tiffany leaped away immediately and hid behind a wall.
From this vantage point, she could see the movements at the vill clearly but it was difficult for the other party to notice her.
The resplendent door slowly opened, and a beautiful and arrogant young girl walked out, surrounded by servants.
Tiffany's eyes widened suddenly.
That familiar face and the identical figure belonged to someone she would recognize even if the other party turned to ashes.
It was Sandra Olson.
'She didn't die? Tiffany couldn't believe her eyes.
Shocked by this sight, all the doubts and questions that had been troubling her lately were answered at this moment.
No wonder she was suddenly pushed down by someone from behind when she was picking medicinal herbs on the rocky slopes of Misty Ridge.
That person was Sandra Olson.
No wonder no one could locate the culprit after the incident. No one would suspect a dead person.
There was also that fellow tossing rocks that night to lure Ged Moody away, the woman who had driven the Hummer to ram into Ged...
Now that all the pieces were in place, everything made sense. Tiffany's whole body tensed up. She got the switchblade ready.
She wanted badly to rush out immediately and kill Sandra Olson! At this moment, she heard a meow behind her. It sounded very close.
Close at hand.
Tiffany swung around at once and caught sight of the black tabby which had snuck up from behind at spoint. What was more alarming, under the shade of a tree further away, a man was standing quietly with a vague expression.
The black tabby leaped nimbly onto the man's shoulder.
A man and a cat appeared out of nowhere at such a late hour. It was both creepy and surreal.
However, Tiffany sensed that this man was very powerful.
The guy had appeared behind her without warning. If he had wanted to kill her, he could have easily killed her just now before she could even deal with Sandra.
Cold sweat broke out on Tiffany's back.
At this point, the man spoke in a hoarse voice that carried a hint of amusement. "You're a little fearful of me." Tiffany looked at him warily. "You used your cat to lurehere, didn't you?" After thinking for a while, she realized that this man must have lured her here and arranged to let her see with her own eyes that Sandra Olson was not dead.
"Yes. The man did not deny it.
He then moved closer many with a smile. "You're very smart I think highly of you From his attitude and tone, he seemed to be watching two tiny pet beetles fight each other to see who would win and who would lose. How vexing! As the man got closer, Tiffany raised the switchblade in her hand and said firmly, "Stay away from me." The man did not stop moving. Instead, he changed direction and walked towards his castle.
As he passed by, two words floated to Tiffany's ears in the late-night breeze, "Felix Quaid" "Is that his name? Tiffany wondered.
She put away her weapon. The irrational thought of killing Sandra had already receded.
It seemed that she had to change her initial plan to enter the mountains tomorrow to lure the snake out of its hole.
There was something she did not understand though. This man by the nof Felix Quaid put in so much effort to save Sandra back then. Why did he want Tiffany to know that Sandra was not dead? Could it be that he really just wanted to toy with her and Sandra and watch them fight? Myriad thoughts swirled through Tiffany's mind.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe next morning, the rain that lasted all night finally stopped.
It was the day of the mountain field trip.
Early in the morning, many vehicles were parked in front of the school gate.
Angel Love Charity was the organizer of this charity event and their trucks were packed with supplies.
There were books, school bags, clothes, food, and many other necessities. These resources took up six large trucks.
As the joint organizer, the school also provided part of the funds for the charity.
Kenneth Harper was participating in this field trip. To ensure their precious heir did not sufferany Ve m hardships on the trip, the Harper family had arranged for a fleet of extra-long luxury MPVs to ferry him there. They also arranged for a few private doctors to go with him.
Zoe Stevens had never liked Kenneth all along. When she saw his entourage, she grumbled softly.
"What's with all this fanfare! Those who didn't know might think that all our supplies were donated by them..."
Zoe was the unofficial person in charge of the charitable foundation's accounts so she knew best the value of the supplies in the six trucks. In the past, Ged Moody would have nodded in agreement at times like this.
But now, his playful voice could no longer be heard.
Coincidentally, today was the day that Ged would be to rest.
Zoe's eyes turned red-rimmed and she almost wept when she remembered this.
Tiffany patted her shoulder and said calmly. "Don't dwell on it. Get in.
Sscores would be settled eventually.
Whether it was righting an injustice or taking a life for a life, she would exact the appropriate payback.
As the two girls got into the car, Tiffany sensed something and raised her head only to lock eyes with Melody Princeton, The gleeful glint in Melody's eyes did not escape Tiffany. So this girl was gloating 'Let's see how long you can gloat, Tiffany thought with narrowed eyes.
