As Tiffany broke into a smile, a hush fell over the crowd.

Her smile was dazzling, and her eyes were full of charm and flirtatiousness.

Her eyes were extremely beautiful, to begin with. They looked like sparkling stars, dazzling and bright. Every frown, every smile, and every blink was like that of a bewitching fairy.

Many people were captivated. Their eyes were fixed on her as they lowered their voices and whispered.

“The number one beauty of Lovell City certainly lives up to her reputation. I didn’t believe it in the past, but now that I have seen her for myself, she’s really mesmerizing!”

“True, true. It is said that Miss Kelley was once engaged to Mr. Harper. They looked quite compatible at first, but for some reason, the marriage didn’t happen…..

“Stop talking. Can’t you see that there’s a girl beside Mr. Harper

“Whose daughter is that? I don’t know her.”

When Melody heard these words, she was so incensed that her gentle and pleasant smile could not be maintained anymore. She took a few deep breaths to hold back her fury.

Melody had always thought of herself as attractive. She had grown up in an environment where she was showered with praise and compliments.

But after she met Tiffany, everything changed.)

Everyone’s gaze would focus on Tiffany. No matter how well Melody dressed up, she would always be second–class

She felt that her dignity was being trampled all over. It was as if she was not even qualified to be mentioned in the same breath as Tiffany Kelley.

Right now, even Kenneth looked infatuated…

Although he quickly averted his eyes, his actions did not escape Melody’s eyes and it almost made her go crazy with Jealousy.

Melody took a deep breath and told herself. Just bear with it a little longer

It was just one or two days more. Sandra had arranged everything in the mountains. It was destined that Tiffany would never return from this field trip.

It was time to set off. Everyone got into their respective vehicles.

The entourage of luxury MPVs belonging to the Harper family led the way up front. The six large trucks followed behind. The whole convoy headed with much fanfare towards their destination, which was Melvor Mountain.

Melvor Mountain was famed for its cotton as the villagers there grew cotton for a living.

Now, in October, fields of cotton plants could be seen along the mountain road leading to Melvor Mountain.

Harvest season had just commenced so many people could be seen working in the fields.

This was evidently the first time Melody visited this place. Her eyes were sparkling with excitement.

She tugged at Kenneth’s arm from time to time. “Kenny, look over there. It’s so beautiful!

“Kenny, the environment here is so beautiful. It’s surrounded by mountains on all sides. It’s quiet and picturesque. The air is also fresh.

“And the houses over there are really unique. They look like they have bull horns on their roofs! Are those ropes on the mountain meant for thrill–seekers? Oh, how exciting!”

The chatter continued endlessly.

Along the way, only Melody’s excited voice could be heard.

In the end. Zoe could not take it anymore. She said impatiently, Are you done babbling? Can you give it a rest?”

The car had been traveling for a few hours now. Zoe only wanted to catch up on her sleep in the car.

In the end, she was kept up by the non–stop chatter. It was simply unbearable.

When Melody got scolded, she immediately felt aggrieved: “I’m sorry, I just found it too novel and interesting so I couldn’t help talking too much.”

“Novel and interesting?” Zoe snickered.

She pointed casually at the rope Melody was referring to. “That rope which you think is for thrill seekers is actually how the local villagers here make their way up and down.

“The children here, including the adults, have to use this method to go to school. It’s steep and dangerous yet you think it is novel and interesting?”

After Zoe finished speaking, Melody was speechless.

I–I didn’t know… Melody mumbled.

She looked at Kenneth helplessly like a child who had done something wrong and was feeling aggrieved, desperately seeking. help from the people around her.

Kenneth frowned immediately, “Enough. There’s no need to blow things up. It was an innocent comment. Melody doesn’t have any other intentions.

“Yeah, she doesn’t have any other intentions. I don’t have any other intentions either. I just want her to shut up!” Zoe refused, to back down.

The atmosphere in the car froze for a moment. The driver was the Harper family’s staff. When he heard someone talking back to his employer’s son, he immediately interjected, “Miss, watch your mouth. You are riding in a car that belongs to the Harper family. If you have a problem with the passengers, you can go to the truck behind”

“Sure. Stop the car. Hmph! Do you think I am dying to ride in your car?” Zoe was a stubborn girl and immediately retorted.

Traveling in the same car as this pretentious attention–seeking woman was equivalent to breathing in the same foul air.

She would rather take the truck.

Kenneth was going to rebut but Tiffany, who was sitting at the back with her eyes closed, opened her eyes. She said calmly, “Stop the car. I replace it noisy too.”

Upon hearing this, Melody felt that she was being singled out. She said pitifully, “I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. Why don’t I get off…

Kenneth felt a headache coming on. He chose to reprimand the driver instead. “You have no right to speak here. Shut up!”

“Yes, Sir.” The driver stopped talking, but on Zoe’s stubborn insistence, he stopped the car.

When the leading car stopped, the line of vehicles and trucks behind it also stopped.

Tiffany held Zoe’s hand and got out of the car.

Looking at the massive uncomfortable truck, Zoe felt a little guilty. “Tiffany, L… I have implicated you and made you suffer with me again

Tiffany smiled gently. “Is flying with you suffering?

“Huh?” Zoe was puzzled.

At this moment, a dull whopping could be heard in the distance. Before long, two helicopters carne into view.

The helicopters landed smoothly and their rotor blades threw up a cloud of sand and dust all over the place.

“Let’s go. Tiffany beckoned to Zoe and a number of the staff.

“Wow! Tiffany, when did you arrange for a helicopter? This is so awesome! This is the first time I’m flying in a helicopter!”

“It was arranged before we came. I was thinking we could use the helicopter after we reached the place. After all, we can’t drive to the village we’re going to. Now… we’ll just let those people walk.”

The people traveling with the Harper family’s entourage overheard the two girls‘ conversation.

The driver who didn’t know better and lectured Zoe earlier was now cringing in embarrassment.

Tiffany was right. If they wanted to get to the village, they could not use cars. They had to go up the suspended stairs.

With helicopters, they could simply fly there.

Melody’s expression turned unsightly.

Despite the influence and wealth of the Harper family, they only provided a fanciful convoy of vehicles. When it was time to go up the mountains, these vehicles would be useless.

“Kenny… did I mess up again?” As Melody spoke, her eyes turned red–rimmed and her face was full of self–reproach.
