Her Story: Rise Of Tiffany

Chapter 366

Melody had spent all of last night at the hospital, making do as best she could. Early this morning, Thalia finally woke up, and once it was confirmed she was out of danger, Charlie told Melody and Eric to go home and rest. But Eric was stubborn. He'd rather stay at the hospital than share a car ride home with her.

With no other option, Melody had to head home by herself.

A servant approached her respectfully, asking, "Miss, have you eaten yet?"

""No," Melody said.

"Then I'll instruct the kitchen to prepare breakfast for you."

Melody responded with a nod. She was about to go inside when she caught sight of Wayne.

I

Surprised, she thought, 'Who is he? His clothes looked familiar... Is he the server from last night's cruise? Why would a mere server come all the way to the Kelley family?'

Just as Melody was about to question him, Wayne quickly walked away. He felt a surge of guilt and fear.

Knowing the truth about last night's incident, he now saw the delicate-looking Melody in a new light. She was someone cunning and even frightening.

He'd come here today with the intent to expose her real motives,

If Melody knew his intent, she might retaliate against him.

The more Wayne thought about it, the more anxious he felt, so he quickened his pace.

Just then, a pair of slender, fair hands suddenly landed on his shoulder from behind.

Wayne froze. Nervously, he turned around and saw Melody smiling with a gentle, harmless expression.

"Were you the server on last night's cruise? Why come to my home so early? Is there something you need?" Melody asked.

He thought, 'Oh, no. She has a graceful, delicate appearance, but she's a viper in disguise. No matter how beautiful she is, I'd better keep my distance.'

Wayne took a step back, fumbling for an excuse. "No, nothing much, you that the salvage team is

already on-site."

Melody thought, 'Charlie has already been informed about the salvage team this morning, to make a special trip?"

SO

why would a mere server need

Melody's gaze flickered slightly.

Wayne was clearly flustered, unskilled at lying. A thin sheen of sweat appeared on his forehead as he fumbled for words.

Melody chuckled softly, her voice warm and charming. "Thank you so much; I feel bad making you come all the way here. Since you're here, why don't you come inside for some coffee?" As she spoke, she hooked her arm around his, giving him no chance to refuse.

"Oh, no, no need. Really, you're being too kind. I don't deserve it" Wayne said.

Melody said, "Nonsense, we're all the same here."

Wayne thought, 'Is there no way out of this?'

He steeled himself, shook Melody's hand off, and said, "I have to rush back to work. Goodbye."

With that, he turned and ran.

Melody shook her hand slightly, her brows knitting together.

She thought, 'Something's off.

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She dialed Karl's number, saying, "Help me tail someone. Make sure he doesn't notice." "Alright, no problem," Karl agreed without hesitation, then chuckled, "But I'm running low on funds lately, so maybe you..."

"Okay," Melody agreed immediately.

She knew Karl just wanted money.

Before, she didn't have it, but now, as one of the heiresses of the Kelly family, she was loaded.

She still gave money to Karl merely because he and his wife still had some use. She might as well treat it as doing good things.

Once they outlived their usefulness, Melody would make sure they disappeared permanently.

-Wayne headed back to the riverbank.

His colleagues on the yacht looked surprised, one asking, "Didn't you take the day off? What are you doing back here?"

"I... I just came by to check things out," he said.

"Oh." The colleague returned to his work on the yacht.

In the river, a search team was still combing the waters.

Wayne spent a while scanning the crowd, but he couldn't find Charlie.

Finally, he couldn't hold back any longer and started asking around, eventually learning that Charlie was still at the hospital with his wife. This made things difficult.

He couldn't just show the video to anyone, and he'd hit a dead end at the Kelley family. That left him with one option: the hospital.

Gripping his phone tightly, Wayne headed to a nearby bus stop.

Luck seemed to be on his side as a bus approached right away.

Relieved, Wayne didn't notice the middle-aged man tailing him closely.

Karl was on his phone.

"The guy you told me to follow is by the river asking around about Charlie. He's on a bus now, and it looks like he's heading to the hospital," Karl said. Melody frowned as she mulled it over, and then her expression shifted. "Stop him!"

Whether or not it was what she suspected, she couldn't take the risk. Any trace of trouble had to be snuffed out.

She couldn't let him meet with Charlie, even if it mean

Karl hung up and hurried after Wayne, but the bus was already pulling away from the crowded stop.

Gritting his teeth, Karl climbed onto the bus after him.

Crowded with people and traveling through multiple stops, it wasn't the right time or place to act.

Karl'd have to wait.

At Royal Bay, Sidney read the thermometer in his hand. "Good news, her fever's gone. Mrs. Hampton is perfectly fine."

"Good," Richard replied, glancing at Sidney with a look of approval.

Tiffany blushed again.

Up until recently, only John had called her Mrs. Hampton, and he'd stubbornly refused to switch titles.

Now, however, it seemed everyone had fallen in line, from Royal Bay's servants to the entire household staff, and even Sidney had adopted the title. Tiffany thought, 'It is... Well, it is kind of nice.

Tiffany couldn't help but smile; she was clearly in high spirits.

But there was no time for jokes right now. Standing up, she said, "I need to go to the hospital to check on my mom now."

She didn't know if her family was aware that she had been rescued.

To keep them from worrying, Tiffany needed to visit Thalia in the hospital immediately.

Richard didn't stop her and gave a slight nod.

John promptly went to prepare the car.

Just as Tiffany was about to rush out, she doubled back and, in front of Sidney and the rest of the staff, planted a quick kiss on Richard's cheek.

Then, blushing furiously, she dashed out.

"Oh my..." Sidney muttered, grinning as he slapped the table. The day had barely started, and he was already drowning in sweetness. It was nearly too much to handle.

The other servants quickly ducked their heads, covering their mouths to stifle their giggles.

Richard stood in place, his face calm, yet the smile tugging at his lips grew broader by the second.

He was pleased.

Tiffany arrived at the hospital in no time.

John smiled as he opened the door for her. "Mrs. Hampton, your chariot awaits."
