Chapter 311
At first, Richard did not want to reveal who injured him.
However, he did not want to hide anything from Tiffany.
Hence, he told her. Felix Quaid”
That name sounded familiar…
Only then did Tiffany remember that this was the man she had een twice, the man who always had a black tabby with him.
So Felix Quaid was one of the factions that wanted to kill her that night.
If that was the case, why did he lure her to the castle and let her see with her own eyes that Sandra Olson was not dead?
This guy was really unfathomable,
Tiffany thought again for a moment and asked, “Were you injured because you fought with him?”
Richard hesitated briefly before answering. “You can say that.”
The truth was that he got distracted due to worry.
At that point, when he received the news that Felix Quaid was going to take action on Tiffany himself, two other factions swung into action at the same time.
Garry York was sent to intercept one faction while the other faction was assigned to Yvonne Shaw, who had never failed to complete her missions in the past.
The attackers from Felix’s faction were all elites and they were the most troublesome to deal with. Hence, Richard decided to handle this faction himself and he brought John Ross with him.
However, he unwittingly fell into the trap Felix had laid for him.
During their battle, Felix dragged out an unconscious woman whose physical appearance resembled Tiffany a lot.
Worried that Tiffany was hurt, Richard dashed forward to save her, only to find that it was a mannequin covered with poison
He got poisoned as a result of touching the mannequin, which enabled Felix to inflict serious injuries on him.
Otherwise, a mere Felix Quaid could never be his match.
He didn’t want Tiffany to worry when he returned with serious injuries, so he sat on the sofa without moving, pretending as if nothing had happened. To his surprise, what awaited him was Tiffany’s accusations and uncaring attitude.
After that, he was unconscious for one day and one night.
When he woke up, he saw Yvonne Shaw trying to sleep with hirm while he was still unconscious. On top of that, he also discovered that this woman had been feigning obeyance and did not carried out his order at all.
After learning about Ged Moody’s death that night, Richard finally understood why Tiffany was blaming him.
She was angry that he had left her in the lurch. She was angry that he had used her for the one–in–a–million chance of obtaining the key to the treasure.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Richard did want to explain Tiffany but he was also angry at her for not trusting him.
As he recalled all these events, Richard felt a little helpless.
Tiffany finally understood the whole matter and felt more guilty than ever. “I’m sorry.
Richard did not say anything.
Tillany tugged at his sleeve and whimpered pitifully, “Sir, I’m sorry”
The man gave a soft snort. “It’s useless to address me as ‘Sir”
Tiffany suddenly blushed. As Richard mused with delight at the possibility that his wish was about to come true, the young girl spoke again bashfully.
“Daddy, I was wrong.”
‘She called me Daddy? Richard was speechless.
In the next second, he vomited blood, not metaphorically but literally. He spewed out a mouthful of blood before toppling over.
Tiffany gasped in shock.
Was this man so angered by her words that he collapsed? Had she gone too far with her joke?
“Hey, what’s wrong with you? Don’t frighten me!”
Tiffany forgot about her own injury and leaped off the bed quickly to check on the unconscious man.
After checking his pulse, Tiffany realized that his breathing was chaotic and there was a strange poison circulating in his body.
The poison was too strong and had damaged his internal organs. Had it been anybody else, that person would have collapsed long ago. Richard had hung on until now without showing any signs of discomfit. If he had not suddenly keeled over, she would not have noticed anything odd.
Tiffany hurriedly put on her coat before yelling for help. “Somebody! Anybody! Come quickly!”
At this moment, Sidney Pauley was outside the farmhouse trying to stop Zoe Stevens from entering.
The two of them had been stuck in a stalemate for a long time..
Zoe was very angry. “What right do you have to stop me?”
She had dashed to the farmhouse after receiving a call from Tiffany. The moment she arrived, this fellow kept stopping her from entering, saying things like “Now is not the time” and whatnot.
Zoe was so angry that she wanted to strangle this fellow.
Sidney was still performing the role of the wingman dutifully when his sharp hearing caught a muffled voice coming from the bedroom inside the farmhouse. With a growing sense of foreboding, he rushed in.
The moment Sidney barged into the bedroom, he saw blood on the ground and Tiffany cradling the unconscious Richard in her arms. He yelled urgently. “Quick! Lend me a hand.”
Sidney could tell at once that Richard had suffered a relapse.
There was still remnant poison in Richard’s body and his internal injuries were serious. Furthermore, he did not have a good rest to recuperate. The moment he found out that Tiffany was going to the mountain village, he also rushed there.
He even splashed out a few hundred million bucks on the pretes of funding construction projects and made up some legitimate excuse about inspecting the project sites.
What a load of bullshit. The real reason was he was here to look for his “wife,”
Sidney felt very exasperated but now was not the time to give lectures. He helped Richard up with Tiffany’s support and they returned to the farmhouse next door. Zoe stayed back to clean up the blood stains,
Once they had settled Richard down, Sidney proceeded to set up the intravenous drips before commencing medical treatment.
Tiffany silently watched Sidney go through the motions with practiced case. She realized that they had even brought surgical equipment and other medical devices, in addition to all kinds of medicine.
Now, Tiffany was finally convinced that Richard had dashed here despite his serious injuries. He did all this because of her…
As the realization dawned on her, she felt even more guilt–stricken
She should have trusted him.
There were many chances to clear up the m
