Her Story: Rise Of Tiffany Novel by Rex Ring
Chapter 262

‘Is Kenneth crazy?‘ Tiffany thought. She was so angry that she laughed.

She had blocked Kenneth’s number a long time ago. Now, the bastard even went to the trouble to change his number just so he could call and yell at her.

“What a lunatic.” Tiffany snorted and hung up, blocking him again. She then slept from noon to midnight.

When Tiffany woke up, she opened her eyes to see a handsome man lying on the bed.

The man’s cold face was well–defined, and his profile looked slightly gentle under the light. His features were elegant and his eyes were dark. His thin lips curled up slightly. He was so attractive it made one stop breathing.

Tiffany blinked and suddenly remembered the phone call before she fell asleep. She immediately hugged Richard’s arm with an aggrieved expression. “Richard, I was bullied.”

Everyone knows how to complain, even her. And that was precisely what she did now.

“I was very sleepy this afternoon and was about to nap when someone called to threaten me and even yelled at me. I’m so pitiful…” she sobbed, pretending to be weak, pitiful, and helpless.

Tiffany tried to cry too. But when she realized she could not, she jumped into Richard’s arms and whined loudly, “Richard, you must stand up for me.”

Richard raised his eyebrows.

According to his understanding of Tiffany, whenever she started whining cutely, she was always exaggerating. If she had suffered, she wouldn’t have complained but would have torn the one responsible apart.

Still, it did not stop him from wanting to protect her. He asked, “Who’s the bastard who bullied you?”

“It’s that bastard, Kenneth,” Tiffany complained, “He threatened me and even scolded me. You must yell at him too.”

Richard said indifferently, “Yell at him? Why talk when one can take action? Wouldn’t it be better to beat him up?”

Tiffany thought for a moment and nodded firmly. “Alright!”

With just a few words, Kenneth’s fate was decided.

***

The next day, when Tiffany went to school, she saw Kenneth with a bruised face. She drew a sharp breath, surprised that Richard had beaten Kenneth up.

Tiffany decided then that Richard was just. He put right and wrong first instead of blindly helping his family. He was excellent.

She was overjoyed. She immediately sent a message to Richard, including two happy emojis at the end. [I love you today too.]

*****

Before Tiffany sent the message, Richard was in a meeting as usual.

The higher–ups below were reporting the profits and losses of Royal Group last month. Because of the failures of several experiments in Tower Nine, they had suffered a lot more losses than before.

Therefore, everyone in the office was afraid. It was as if they would be dead at any moment. They did not dare to breathe loudly, afraid that Richard, who was sitting at the most prominent scat, would flare up.

After the audit, everyone carefully observed Richard’s expression only to see Richard, who was always imposing and ruthless, smiling after glancing at his phone.

At that moment, he appeared noble, elegant, and charming. His smile was like a spring breeze that revived the cold hard earth. He seemed unbelievably gentle as his aloofness faded away.

All the board members in the meeting room were stunned. They exchanged looks with each other. There had long been rumors in the company that their CEO had a sweetheart. Now, it seemed that the rumors were true.

At the side, Tyrone straightened. He was a little proud, but at the same time, he sighed. He had witnessed how his boss had gone from being detached from all women to falling in love. He couldn’t believe it at first, but now, he took it calmly.

In summary, if one cozied up to someone powerful, one won’t have to worry a bit.

And so, the meeting in the Royal Tower continued.

Meanwhile, in Lovell School, the moment Kenneth appeared with a bruised face, he immediately attracted the attention of the entire class. One by one, they went to him, asking, “Mr. Harper, what happened to you?”

Amidst the concerned voices, someone burst out laughing. The others followed. The laughter didn’t stop for a long time. It was incredibly rare for Kenneth to look so pathetic. Normally, they would not dare to laugh. However, this time, they really could not hold back.

Kenneth’s face darkened. After sending Melody back last night, he turned around and was covered in a hood and beaten up for a good while.

The person who beat him up was extremely skilled. By the time he came back to his senses, the culprit had already run away, leaving no trace. Coincidentally, it happened at the mouth of the alley. There was no evidence even if he wanted to investigate afterward.

Kenneth could only leave it at that.

He had been punched in the eye and half of his eye was bruised. It was the same for the corners of his mouth and cheeks. He had never been in such a sorry state in his life.

Kenneth was furious. When he turned around, he saw Tiffany leaning against the window seat, eating an orange lazily. In front of her was Zoe, who was also eating an orange and watching the show. Their smiles were meaningful, making it clear that they were mocking him.

Kenneth couldn’t help but walk over and place his hands on Tiffany’s table. He leaned over and asked, “Did you get someone to do this to me?”

He had thought Tiffany would deny it, but he did not expect her to ask a question in return.

“Do you want an orange?” Tiffany propped her chin with one hand and asked seriously, “If you do, stay here. I’ll buy you some.”

He thought, ‘Why would she want to buy oranges for me? She couldn’t be that kind.‘

Kenneth was in a daze for a moment. When he looked over again, he saw the ridicule in Tiffany’s eyes growing.

Even if Kenneth was slow, he knew he had been tricked. He was so angry that he stormed off. He thought, ‘How could a girl have such a sharp tongue? She would drive people to insanity. Buy oranges for me? So she could act like she is my parents? How dare she say that!‘

Zoe was already prepared to mouth off to Kenneth. She did not expect Tiffany to chase him away with just a few sentences. Tiffany was simply too capable.

“Holy shit, that was great,” Zoe remarked. Tiffany was the only one who could suppress Kenneth.

Some laughed, while others gossiped. In the entire class, only Melody’s heart ached for Kenneth. During a break between classes, she came over and carefully applied medicine for him.

Melody could not help but grumble, “Who is so heartless to ambush you for no reason? This is too much! Kenneth, you’d better not send me back anymore. I’ll go back myself. It’s all my fault this time. After all, I lived in such a messy neighborhood.”

Everyone knew Melody’s family background was not good. She was able to enter the elite school because of her outstanding results. That was why she was recruited by the school.

Unlike ordinary rich kids, her house was in the most remote place in Lovell City. The environment was dirty and messy, and the nearby residents were all hooligans.

As Melody spoke, she lowered her head, her face full of embarrassment and self–blame.

Kenneth’s heart ached. He held her hand and sighed, “I’m sorry. I didn’t think it through. How about this? I’ll help you move somewhere else this weekend. Since I’m not accompanying you home over the next few days, don’t go back for now. Stay in the school apartment. Otherwise, I won’t rest easy if you run into hooligans on the way back.”

Melody wanted to decline, but she was interrupted by Kenneth. “I didn’t know you in the past, but now that you’re my girlfriend, how can I let you continue to suffer?”

Looking at his sincere eyes, Melody nodded shyly. “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
