Chapter 435
Although Abbie and Zoe were also at the engagement party, they did not have much interaction with Charlie and were completely unaware of this matter.
Charlie nodded and replied ambiguously, “I think so.”
That was what the servants had told him, and others had said the same thing. But he couldn’t remember how he had fainted at all.
It was as if he had lost a portion of his memory. No matter how hard he tried, he could not recall it.
Abbie and Zoe exchanged a glance, both feeling puzzled about the same thing.
“Charlie, do you remember seeing anyone before you fainted?”
“I don’t remember,” Charlie said, shaking his head. He then asked, “Those people out there said Tiffany stabbed Richard. Is this true?”
“Well…”
Zoe nodded. “That’s what everyone out there is saying.”
Charlie almost cursed. He thought about it and held back. He just said, “This can’t be true.”
As a father, he naturally sided with his daughter unconditionally without any justification.
However, the rumors out there were uncontrollable. When he thought of the dirty words everyone was saying, he got furious.
Zoe and Abbie did not stay for long. After offering a few words of comfort, they said their goodbyes and left.
Zoe walked out of the villa and sighed softly. “I wonder if Tiffany can see the message I sent.”
In the message, she truthfully described the situation with the Kelley family and informed Tiffany that her family was fine, asking her not to worry.
Abbie patted her shoulder and said, “Let’s get in the car.”
The two of them were about to leave when someone suddenly rushed out from the side of the road.
Zoe looked up in surprise and said, “What, what are you doing here?”
The young man rushing over was Kenneth.
“Where’s Tiffany?” he said. “Where is she?”
“What are you trying to do?” Zoe asked, her face full of vigilance.
Kenneth had no choice but to rush toward Cedar Ridge Villa.
He attended the engagement party today but didn’t have the courage to stay at the venue. He drank alone in the hotel winery the entire time. After that, he fell asleep. When he woke up, he heard that the engagement party had been ruined.
He also heard that Tiffany had personally injured Richard.
When he heard the news, he rushed over to the Kelley family’s home just to confirm Tiffany’s situation.
As Zoe noticed that he was about to rush into the villa, she quickly called out to him. “Stop right there. Tiffany is not at home, and this is not a place you should come.”
There were already rumors out there saying that Tiffany had been caught meeting her lover in secret.
As the rumors spread, who this lover was remained unclear, and because of Tiffany’s previous pursuit of Kenneth, many people maliciously speculated about their current relationship.
If someone saw Kenneth coming to the Kelley family’s home, these rumors would have a devastating impact on Tiffany.
After being called out to by Zoe, Kenneth turned around and asked, “You know where she is, right?”
“What’s the point of telling you?” Zoe said. “Tiffany has already taken a flight and left. Could it be that you still want to chase after her?”
‘Besides, even if he wanted to chase after her, he wouldn’t be able to catch up, she thought.
“Where has Tiffany gone?”
After Kenneth asked for the third time, Zoe said irritably, “The Azure Sea Royal Family’s place. Are you satisfied now?”
“Thank you.
Kenneth nodded in thanks, then turned and left.
Looking at his thin back, Zoe was stunned. “Damn, could it be that he really is going to look for Tiffany?”
Abbie said, “He likely won’t go to such an extent…”
She shook her head. A short while later, she suddenly smiled, thinking, ‘Having said that, it’s possible too.
The two got into the car and left, unaware that everything happening at the villa’s entrance was being closely monitored by people sent by Morwen.
Upon hearing her subordinate say that Tiffany had gone to the Azure Sea Royal Family’s place, Morwen panicked and immediately stood up from her chair in shock.
“What?” she said.
At this moment, Morwen even suspected that Tiffany’s real motive for going to the Azure Sea Royal Family’s place was because she had discovered something. She then thought, ‘Did Tiffany realize her identity and specifically return to the Azure Sea Royal Family’s place to acknowledge her family?
“This can’t be happening. If Tiffany were to really succeed in taking the throne, wouldn’t all the plans I have painstakingly devised for so many years be in vain?‘
Morwen was burning with anxiety, her gaze growing colder by the moment. Eventually, she made a decision.
‘Intercept and kill,‘ she thought. ‘While Tiffany is on her way, I’ll do whatever it takes to intercept and kill.’
“Pass down the order,” she said. “Everyone is to be mobilized. This is the last chance I’m giving you. If you fail again, don’t come and see me.”
“Got it.”
The group of subordinates nodded in agreement and immediately set off in batches.
Meanwhile, several inconspicuous black sedans moved into the vicinity of the Harper family’s manor one after another.
They parked in scattered spots and arrived at different times, not drawing anyone’s attention.
They were going to make a move tonight..
Now that Richard was in a deep sleep and could not regain consciousness, no matter what kind of commotion happened in Lovell City, no one could suppress it.
Similarly, no matter what happened to the Harper family, no offe could protect them.
I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time, Felix thought, sitting in the back seat of the car, patiently tapping his fingertips on the armrest.
“Strike at midnight,” he said. “Avoid detection whenever possible. It’s best if we aren’t discovered. If we’re discovered, then let’s just wipe out the Harper family entirely.”
“Got it!” Lorenzo said, rubbing his palms excitedly.
He thought, “This day has finally arrived.
‘I haven’t forgotten how that little princess of the Harper family humiliated me to the point of worthlessness.
‘Now that the opportunity to take revenge has finally arrived, I want to sew that bitch’s mouth shut and see if she still dares to talk rudely and be arrogant in the future.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
This night is destined to end up in a bloodbath.‘
Meanwhile, Tiffany was completely unaware of what was happening in Lovell City. She was determined to go to the Azure Sea Royal Family’s place, but the more anxious she was, the easier it was for something to go wrong.
After flying for only three hours, the helicopter had no choice but to land in a plain valley because of a malfunction. There were no cities in sight from any direction. As far as the eye could see, there were only mountains and forests, and there were only a few villages not far away. It was obvious that this place was very desolate.
June, who came along with Tiffany, recounted what she saw.
Tiffany nodded and said, “It’s too late now. Let’s stay here for the night.”
“Okay,” June replied affirmatively. She then asked the pilot and the two subordinates who came along to explore the village ahead first to see if they could stay at those people’s houses for the night.
Soon, the two subordinates returned and said. “Miss Kelley, there’s a family in the village ahead that is very hospitable. They agreed to take us in without hesitation.”
“Let’s go then,” Tiffany said, allowing June to lead her forward.
The family they were staying with was an elderly couple, but due to the language barrier, they could only gesture and pronounce words clearly. Tiffany could not see anything, so she had to let June handle all the communication.
Fortunately, June was clever and was able to communicate without any obstacles by relying on half–guessing and half- understanding.
After a simple dinner in this house, it was already very late. The elderly couple went back to their room to sleep after arranging rooms for them.
The two subordinates and the pilot squeezed into one room, while Tiffany and June shared a room.
Lying on the somewhat shabby and damp bed, Tiffany suddenly
