Her Story: Rise Of Tiffany Novel by Rex Ring
Chapter 281

Tiffany closed her eyes and said slowly, “It’s simple. I want you to be a witness. You are to reveal everything when the time is right.”

If Declan Jahn were to testify. it entailed turning himself in and admitting his guilt.

He gritted his teeth. After some hesitation, he finally nodded.

Even if he turned himself in, he was only an accomplice. Moreover, he had never done anything to Alexia Harper. He had only listened to orders and taken photos. He would receive at most a jail sentence of a few years.

If he did not agree to testify, he would still be implicated when Melody Princeton’s murder was exposed.

Caught in a “Damned if I do, damned if I don’t dilemma, Declan realized it was better to go for self–preservation than to end up as a scapegoat for the Princeton siblings. “Alright, I agree

Now that the matter was settled, Tiffany gestured with her hand. “Good. You may leave.”

After Declan was taken away, June Spencer asked worriedly, “Miss Kelley, will this person betray us later?

“He won’t. He doesn’t look like he’s so dumb that he’s beyond hope.

That’s good…” June nodded.

She could not help lamenting. That girl Melody Princeton is so young yet she is so ruthless!”

She was even capable of taking the life of a classmate who had helped her so many times.

Jade Payne probably could not believe it herself at the point of her death

Tiffany looked into the distance. After a long while, she suddenly said. The weather tomorrow… won’t be good.”

June seemed to understand Tiffany’s underlying meaning. She immediately said, “Don’t worry, Miss Kelley. Everything is ready. All we have to do is wait for Melody Princeton to take the bait.”

The next day, there was a slight drizzle accompanied by the autumn wind.

Melody came to the Payne family’s breakfast cafeteria to help for the third consecutive day. As soon as she stepped into the cafeteria, she shouted enthusiastically to her godmother, “Mrs. Payne, I’m here!”

Mrs. Payne was overjoyed to see Melody. She held the girl’s hand affectionately as if the girl was her own daughter.

“Come, Melody. Try this sweet potato and lentil soup. Didn’t you say you liked it yesterday? I made it for you this morning!”

“Thank you, Mrs. Payne!” Melody took a sip and smiled sweetly. It’s delicious!”

Mrs. Payne was delighted..

Today was the seventh day after Jade Payne’s passing. With Melody’s presence to comfort them, Jade’s parents were able to bury the pain in their hearts more deeply.

At least they could hold back their tears in public.

“You are such a good girl.” Mrs. Payne’s heart ached terribly but she still felt a little gratified.

The murderer had taken her daughter, but God had compensated her with a replacement.

“Let me help you wash the dishes, Mrs. Payne” As Melody spoke, she put on the apron and went into the kitchen. She quickly started washing the dishes.

For the past few days. Melody had come here every day and helped for hours. The work was hard, but she never complained or said that she was tired.

Even the old men playing chess at the entrance and staff from the shops nearby could not help but compliment the Payne couple on their good fortune.

However, in reality…

Melody was just putting on an act.

She believed that she was destined to be a rich man’s wife in the future. How could she be willing to wash dishes for others?

The reason she worked so hard without complaint was….

Then again, after listening to the fortune teller, she did have fewer nightmares lately,

Although she still saw Jade Payne from time to time, the pressure was not as great as before.

Yesterday, when Melody went to consult the fortune teller, he said that this was a good development. It meant that the vengeful vibes had decreased.

Following this, she only needed to continue taking care of Jade’s parents and make them happy until the seventh day, after which she would have to go to the cemetery in the afternoon to seek forgiveness in front of Jade’s tomb.

Once she had done all this, Melody would never be harassed again. She would endure this period patiently.

After the breakfast cafeteria closed at 11 a.m., Melody brought Mr. and Mrs. Payne out for lunch and made sure the grieving couple enjoyed themselves thoroughly

She even took the trouble to send them home at the end before bidding her godparents farewell.

“Mr. Payne, Mrs. Payne, I’ll come and visit you tomorrow!”

“My dear child, your studies are more important. It’s good enough that you care for us. It’s fine even if you don’t come…”

“Okay.” Melody smiled faintly. At any rate, after today, she would not come again.

The couple watched wistfully as Melody made her way downstairs.

She first took a taxi to the flower shop to buy a bouquet of flowers before heading for the cemetery in the suburbs.

As their goddaughter disappeared from their view, Jade’s parents felt a sense of emptiness in their hearts

“Sigh!” It was clear that Mrs. Payne could not bear to part with her goddaughter.

She thought that Melody was such an obedient and sensible child, and she was so caring toward her and her husband.

At this moment, the doorbell rang

Thinking that her goddaughter had returned, Mrs. Payne opened the door eagerly, only to see an unfamiliar woman standing at the door.

It was June Spencer.

Chapter 281

“You are…?” Mrs. Payne tookąd puzzled.

“I’m here to invite you and Mr. Payne to meet the murderer with your own eyes”

It was already 2:30 p.m. when Melody arrived at the cemetery in the suburbs.

This place was quite far and the taxi took nearly an hour to get here.

The cemetery was very desolate. Other than the densely packed ombstones, there was no one else.

Melody took a deep breath and laid the bouquet before one tombstone.

She then knelt on the ground and followed the fortune teller’s instructions to make her confession piously.

Jade, I’m sentence sorry. You helped me many times in school, but in the end, L… L…” Melody couldn’t bring herself to finish her

She did not have the guts to either.

Just as Melody was wondering if she should bluff her way through, a gust of wind suddenly blew past. Accompanied by the drizzle, the surroundings were eerie and chilly.

Not surprisingly, someone with a guilty conscience would feel afraid and paranoid at the slightest movement.

Moreover, Melody had been tormented quite badly recently,

She shuddered and you… I’m sorry”

immediately cried out, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Jade, I shouldn’t have harmed you. I shouldn’t have… killed

Her trembling voice became increasingly softer, accompanied by a hint of fear.

Melody then began sobbing uncontrollably. She lay on the ground and cried bitterly to seek forgiveness.

Although there was no one around, what Melody did not know was that there were multiple hidden cameras and recorders set up around her.

Hence, her demeanor and confession were all captured by the devices.

In the cemetery’s management room, Mr. and Mrs. Payne felt as if their world had fallen apart.

How… how did things turn out this way? They couldn’t understand, they simply couldn’t understand!

Meanwhile, Melody did not notice anything. She was still sobbing and begging for forgiveness.

“Jade, can you forgive me? I promise I’ll treat your parents as my biological parents and take good care of them for the rest of my life!”

The realization finally hit the grieving couple.

Melody had put in so much effort to please them and even took the initiative to ask to be their goddaughter. It turned out that she was actually trying to atone for her crime.

To think that the couple thought that the heavens had blessed them with this goddaughter so that they could turn the pain of losing their daughter into love and place all their affection on this replacement.

To their shock, their daughter’s life was taken by Melody, and she was also the one who set the fire!

What kind of despair did poor Jade suffer that night?

“Argh!” Mrs. Payne wailed piteously. Her voice was filled with gut wrenching grief, and every word she said was dripping with pain. “How ruthless, how ruthless! What did she do to you? low could you do that!”
