As far as Tiffany knew, her parents had always been kind. They would give some money to the beggars they saw on the way, not to mention the charity funds they invested every year.

Tiffany supposed it made sense that they helped Melody this time to repay her because she had saved Thalia in Sanctuary

Mountain.

Tiffany thought for a moment and asked, “How much did my dad give him?”

She thought that it would at most be tens of thousands of dollars. She did not expect June to answer, “200 thousand dollars.”

Tiffany was speechless since she thought it was too much.

Because Charlie had asked his men to give Melody’s father a check, and the latter had been especially high-profile when he withdrew the money in the bank, Tiffany easily got the amount by asking June to check it.

Charlie had given out so much money, which meant that Melody’s father wasn’t just one of his ordinary benefactees. Thinking about it carefully, Tiffany found it simply intriguing.

June asked. “Ms. Kelley, should I continue the investigation?”

Tiffany answered, “No.”

There were some things her parents didn’t want to tell her.

Since that was the case, she did not want to investigate everything clearly.

She only hoped that one day, they would be willing to tell her.

After hanging up the phone, Tiffany went downstairs. Not long after, Eric returned from school.

The boy walked up to her with a smile, showing his clean teeth.

Then, as if performing a magic trick, he brought a bouquet of flowers hidden behind him to her and said happily. “Tiffany, this is for you!”

Tiffany reached out to take it. The packaging could not be considered exquisite. Even the standard of flower arrangement was not very good. She could not help but raise her eyebrows. “Eric, did you wrap this yourself?”

Eric answered, “That’s right! I even planted the flowers myself!”

Eric looked like he was expecting Tiffany’s compliment. “Last month, our school arranged for us to plant some flowers. 1 took good care of my flowers every day. Finally, they bloomed, and I cut them. Here they are for you, Tiffany!”

“Thank you.” With that, Tiffany smiled brightly and stroked her brother’s hair. Her heart was filled with warmth.

She personally placed these flowers into a water bottle to keep them. Not long after, the servant came over and called out, “Ms. Kelly, Mr. Kelley, the food is ready.”

Tiffany answered, “Got it.”

Tiffany washed her hands and went to the dining room. Only then did she realize that Thalia wasn’t there.

Charlie chuckled and said, “Thalia isn’t feeling well. Let’s eat first. I’ll get the guys to make some soup and send it to her later.”

“Okay.” With that, Tiffany sat down, still a little uneasy.

Seeing that she was distracted, Eric immediately picked up a chicken wing and placed it on her plate. He said with food in his mouth, “Have this, Tiffany!”

Tiffany chuckled and lowered her head to eat.

Halfway through the meal, a servant came over and reported, “Str, there’s a young lady outside who wants to see you.”

Charlie asked, “She wants to see me? Who is it?

The servant replied. “The young lady said her name is Melody Princeton.”

When Charlie heard this, he immediately dropped his fork and stood up.

However, he acted too quickly. The chair rubbed against the floor with an ear-piercing sound, immediately attracting the shocked gazes of Tiffany and her brother at the dining table.

Charlie could not help but cover his mouth and clear his throat to cover his eagerness. Then, he said, “I’m going out for a

while

Tiffany said. “That’s not necessary. Just let her in.”

Tiffany took a tissue and slowly wiped her mouth.

The servant turned around and left.

Not long after, Melody, whose clothes looked dirty, walked in with a wallet in her hand. “Sir, you left this at the hospital when you paid the checkup fee for me.”

“Oh! I indeed left it there!” Charlie reached out to take the wallet With a complicated look in his eyes, he asked, “Have you had dinner yet? If you haven’t, why don’t you take a seat and join us?”

“No, thanks, sir.. Melody was about to wave her hand to refuse when her stomach growled.

Charlie felt a bit sad when he heard that. He immediately pulled her to sit down and turned to instruct the servant, “Bring a set of cutlery over. Also, get the chef to make more food!”

“Yes, sir.” The servant immediately did as she was told.

Melody blushed and said softly, “Sir, I’m really sorry to have troubled you.”

Charlie said, “Don’t mention it. It’s no trouble at all.”

It could be seen that Charlie was a bit surprised, but he was also nervous and uncasy.

Tiffany stirred the soup in the bowl.

This was the first time she had seen her usually calm father like this.

However, halfway through the call, Charlie received several urgent calls. Clearly, something urgent had happened to

the

company.

He hung up a few of the calls. In the end, he had no choice but to get up and say gently, “I have to go to the company. Enjoy your meal. Make yourself home.”

“Alright. Melody nodded obediently.

Charlie turned around and reminded Eric, “Little troublemaker, take good care of our guest, understand

Eric made a face and agreed, “Okay”

Chapter 329

With another call urging hip, Charlie left in a hurry.

For a moment, there were only Tiffany, her brother, and Melody at the dining table,

Tiffany said, “Eric, I feel like having some lemon juice”

Eric immediately answered, “I’m on it!”

Eric, who did not realize that he had been sent away, ran happily to the kitchen.

Tiffany then looked at Melody and asked with a faint smile, “Tell me, why are you here today?”

She did not want to beat around the bush. She just felt that Melody was up to no good..

Tiffany knew that Melody had to pretend to be aggrieved, pitiful and innocent when others were around. In fact, Tiffany had long experienced how scheming Melody was.

As expected. Melody smiled when no one else was around.

The smile on her face was completely incompatible with her weak temperament, making her look gloomy and treacherous.

Melody said, “As you can see, I’m here to cause you trouble.”

Melody smiled happily and elegantly picked up the soup in front of her. Then, with a flick of her wrist, she splashed all the soup on her face.

The soup was hot to begin with, and in just a short while, her fair face turned red. A faint burn spread from her cheek to her

neck.

Tiffany wondered if Melody had gone insane.

Tiffany looked at her as if she was a lunatic, feeling quite amused and sympathetic. “Why are you acting like such a drama queen? Are you crazy to act in my house?”

Melody covered her face and asked tearfully. “Why are you targeting me like this?”

At this moment, a figure rushed over. Thalia was nervous and heartbroken as she protected Melody. She was so anxious that she was incoherent. ‘Are you burned? Is it hot? Does it hurt?”

“Mom, are you….” Tiffany was about to ask her if she was feeling better, but Thalia suddenly turned around to look at her and asked, “Did you splash the soup?”

It was an interrogative tone.

Tiffany asked, “Mom, do you think I did it?”

Thalia stopped talking

How could she not know what her daughter was like?

It was just that she was too worried just now, so she asked such hurtful words without thinking.

“Tiffany…” Thalia was filled with guilt. Just as she was about to apologize to her daughter, she heard a choked voice beside him. Melody touched her flushed face and felt extremely aggrieved.

Melody said, “Tiffany, how can you target me like this? You pushed me into the water at Melvor Mountain, and now you’ve splashed hot soup on my face. I know that I’m an eyesore to you and I also know that what happened between me and Kenneth has upset you… But can you humiliate me like this just because of my lowly background? Why? Why?

She almost roared, her face Gilled with unwillingness and grievance.

The corners of Tiffany’s mouth twitched. Just as she was about to speak, she saw the crazy Melody raise the knife in her hand. Her smile was provocative and her eyes were filled with ruthlessness.

She was aiming the knife at Thalia, who had her back facing Melody without seeing what the girl was doing.
