Chapter 313
Melody’s eyes glinted madly as she approached the child.
“Little boy, do you want some candy?”
“No!” The child answered immediately.
“Tiffany said that eating too much sweet stuff will lead to tooth decay. When this kid and his friends brought snacks to Tiffany previously, she turned down their good intentions and casually said this.
In the eyes of these innocent children, Tiffany was like a super powerful elder sister whose every utterance meant the world to them.
Melody’s face sank when the kid brought up Tiffany’s name agal. Why was it always Tiffany?
It was bad enough she had the support of so many adults, but now, even children she had only known for two days listened. to her. How infuriating!
Despite her anger, Melody still maintained a smiling face. Then tell me. What did you see just now?”
If this child really saw what she had put in the salt bag, to protect herself, she might really….
“Nothing.” The child shook his head, his face full of innocence.
Thad just come in. I was worried that you can’t find what you needed so I asked. What’s wrong?”
Melody smiled with relief. “Nothing’s wrong. Run along now.”
“Okay.” The kid scampered off.
After the child had gone off to play with his other companions, Melody placed the bag of compromised salt near the cook Then she waited at the side.
Sure enough, the cook used the bag of salt Melody planted there for the remaining dishes.
This way, after the feast, the villagers would feel drowsy and go back to sleep. At that juncture, she would have to think of a way to trick Tiffany into going up the mountain.
This farm–to–table feast was a welcome feast so everyone made an effort to attend.
Taking into consideration the guests‘ diet and food preferences, the three tables were set aside for Tiffany’s group, Kenneth’s group, and the charity and school staff.
When Tiffany arrived at the feast venue, she could smell the aromatic fragrance of the food and that unique scent….
The unique scent came from the delayed–release knockout drug. This drug effect would not be immediate and would only take effect half an hour after consumption.
Moreover, the dosage was quite generous. It would probably make anyone who consumed it sleep until the next day.
When Zoe saw the big spread of food, she was very excited. “Wow, it smells so good! I haven’t eaten such scrumptious food. for many years!”
She immediately took her seat at the table together with the other staff of the charity.
As all of them were fellow colleagues, everyone did not hold back and started eating after some brief pleasantries.
Tiffany did not say anything when she saw Zoe enjoying her meal so much.
There was no need for anyone else to go with her when she took the hair tonight. If Zoe was awake, she might get in Tiffany’s way. It was better for her to sleep until the next day.
Zoe was full of praise. “Wow, this tastes so good! The cooks here certainly live up to their reputations! With such skills, all of you can open a restaurant outside!“
When the cooks heard her, they were delighted,
Both the guests and villagers enjoyed the feast thoroughly.
Tiffany also ate her fill since the drug would have no effect on her. Even if they put poison in the food, she would still consume it, not to mention a mere knockout drug.
When the feast was over, Zoe burped and asked, “Tiffany, why didn’t Mr. Hampton join you for this feast?”
“He’s not feeling well.” Tiffany knew that even if he was fit antl healthy, he was probably not interested in participating in such events.
When Zoe heard that, she muttered softly. “Grelle was looking around just now. I thought I might have to warn her again.”
Tiffany did not catch what she said. “Huh? What did you say?”Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Er nothing… Zoe immediately clammed up.
On the way back, she yawned nonstop. “Why do I feel so sleepy! I slept so soundly last night…”
Once inside the village chief’s house, Tiffany patted Zoe’s shoulder. “Don’t stay up. Go to bed.”
“Good night then, Tiffany…
Zoe was struggling to stay awake at this juncture. She collapsed on her bed the moment she stepped into her room.
Tiffany said to someone behind her, Take good care of her.”
There was no answer in the darkness, but a gust of wind blew pait.
Tiffany returned to her room and waited patiently.
After half an hour, most of the villagers who attended the feast had gone back to sleep. The bustling noise quickly died down and soon, the entire village was quiet.
A bright full moon was visible above the treetops. Croaking frogs could be heard in all directions.
Suddenly, Melody rushed into the village chief’s farmhouse in a panic and shouted urgently, “Something terrible has happened! Benny was playing in the mountain but now he’s gone!”
Tiffany had to hand it to Melody sometimes. That woman really knew how to put on an act.
If she had not known in advance that this was a trap, she would have believed Melody’s near–perfect act.
No matter how Melody shouted, those villagers who had been drugged and fallen into a deep sleep could not be roused.
Tiffany stretched herself before strolling out of her room.
The playful smile on her face was instantly replaced by a look of worry and anxiety. “What did you say? Benny is missing?” Benny was the kid who had climbed up the tree to pick chestnuts for her earlier. During the feast, he had brought the roasted chestnuts to her:
That kid was not missing but Jeeping soundly at home.
Melody was simply creating a ruse to lure her out.
Tiffany had to admit that this method was not bad. After all, everyone would be worried if a child had gone missing.
Melody immediately nodded when she saw Tiffany. “That’s rigli After the feast ended, Benny said that he wanted to go up the mountain to the bamboo forest to catch sparrows for you. But he’s been gone for ages now!
I’ll go look for him.” Tiffany looked worried as she prepared to go up the mountain at once.
Before leaving, she issued Melody a reminder. “Inform the village chief and wake the villagers up. Then, gather everyone to go up the mountain to look for Benny
“Kenny has already sent people up the mountain. I’ll go with you, I know where the bamboo forest is. Melody was a little apprehensive when she said this.
She was worried that Tiffany would not agree to go with her because of Tiffany’s animosity toward her.
Therefore, Melody could only try her best to appear sincere.
Tiffany frowned. It was obvious that she found the suggestion repulsive her. However, since it was an emergency, she eventually agreed. “Alright, lead the way”
She has taken the bait! Melody was delighted.
However, she maintained her act and headed for the mountain with a powerful flashlight with Tiffany in tow.
The moonlight cast a veil of hazy light over the entire mountain
In the darkness, the slightest movement anywhere was enough to send chills down people’s spines.
Melody proceeded somewhat nervously but when she thought of what was going to happen next, she couldn’t contain the excitement and anticipation she felt.
It wouldn’t be long before she got rid of the scourge Tiffany Kelley!
“How much longer?” Tiffany’s voice sounded anxious but her face was a picture of languid nonchalance when illuminated by the moonlight.
Tiffany felt that she could compete with an Oscar–winning actress. After all, when it came to acting, she was pretty good too.
