Charlie and Owen saw this. The two of them looked at each other and started interrogating Tiffany together.

One of them asked, “How did you know such a bunch of people like gangsters?”

The other one asked, “Did they cause trouble for you before? Were you bullied? Did you suffer? Why didn’t you tell me?”

Tiffany thought that she was doomed since she had shot herself the foot.

Tiffany blinked and was about to slip away when her father and Owen spoke at the same time, “Tell us the truth!”

Under their focused eyes, Tiffany could only tell them everything.

However, she just blurred the part where those people were beaten up until they admitted defeat. She told her father and Owen that as soon as the hooligans came to replace trouble with her, they were caught by the school security guards.

Regarding this, Charlie said with lingering fear and praise, “What a relief. I didn’t pay the security fee for nothing.”

Tiffany nodded obediently.

When it came to acting, she couldn’t lose.

Unexpectedly, Owen was a little suspicious. “Then why are they so afraid of you? Also, who asked them to bully you?”

This question was really sharp.

Tiffany’s expression did not change. They were afraid of me because I sent them to the police station. Later, according to their own confession, Sandra instigated Jordan to do it”

Upon hearing that Sandra was related again, Charlie did not look happy.

He recalled that Sandra had appeared at their house last night with the paternity test report.

Although what she did let him know the whereabouts of his biological daughter, he was sure that Sandra had ill intentions

Owen did not think too much about it. After all, in everyone’s eyes, Sandra was already dead, and the Booth family had already fallen. Even if he knew the truth now, there was no point in pursuing the matter.

Charlie said, “No matter what, be more careful in the future. Bring a few more bodyguards with you when you go out.”

“Got it.” With that, Tiffany smiled.

It was impossible for her to bring bodyguards with her. A group of hooligans was no match for her since she could easily take them down with one hand.

Without the troublemakers, everything went smoothly. The food Owen’s newly opened restaurant provided had a unique taste. The dishes came from the recipes of Owen’s ancestors.

In addition, the ingredients used were fresh, and the style was unique, so the reputation of the restaurant’s delicious fo instantly spread.

In short, on the first day of the opening, it was unprecedentedly popular.

By the time Tiffany and her father returned, it was already past ten in the evening.

Eric was still growing and basically slept early. However, he refused to sleep tonight, so he sat in the living room with Thalia and waited for his father and sister to come back.

When he heard the noise, Kic jumped up. “Hey, you’re home, Tany”

There was so much anticipation in his eyes that Tiffany found it funny and heartbreaking. She could not help but pinch his face and joke, “You should’ve gone there with us, shouldn’t you?

Eric said righteously, “But when I changed my mind and wanted to go with you, you left on your own without calling me!”

After saying that, he tiptoed to feel Tiffany’s face and asked worriedly, “Does it still hurt, Tiffany?”

Charlie had been ignored by his son since he entered. He was originally a little depressed, but when he heard this, he could not help but be stunned for a moment. He asked, “What happened? Did you hurt your face?”

Tiffany denied it, “No.”

Tiffany lowered her head and warned her brother not to say it. Then, she looked at Thalia and blinked. “Mom, didn’t you say that you’ve saved some pumpkin soup for me? I feel like having t

She was changing the subject.

Thalia knew very well that her daughter did not want her and Charlie to quarrel because of this matter, so Tiffany hid it from Charlie.

Thalia sighed softly, feeling guilty and heartbroken.

She had slapped Tiffany extremely hard in the afternoon. Even though Tiffany’s face was no longer swollen, it was inevitable that this slap would hurt the relationship between the mother and daughter.

Thalia endured the bitterness and asked the servant to bring out the heated pumpkin soup.

Tiffany acted like she really enjoyed the pumpkin soup and finished two bowls in a row.

Seeing that she did not care about what happened in the afternoon at all and was smiling brightly as usual, Thalia finally stopped being sensitive and uneasy and gradually calmed down

After having the pumpkin soup, Tiffany led her brother upstairs. “It’s getting late. Mom, Dad, go to sleep. We’re going back to our rooms to rest.

Thalia answered, “Okay.”

In the end, after going upstairs, Tiffany rushed into the bathroom and vomited.

Eric was shocked. He patted her back repeatedly and asked anxiously, Tiffany, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? I’ll call the doctor!”

Tiffany stopped him. “Don’t go.”

Tiffany endured the churning in her stomach and replied, I’m fine, I just ate too much.”

At night, she had eaten a lot at Owen’s restaurant. She had completely forced herself to ear the two big bowls of pumpkin soup just now.

She was so full that she vomited.

Upon hearing this, Eric was about to cry. “Tiffany, how could you be more greedy than me? You shouldn’t have forced yourself if you couldn’t finish the soup!”

She finished the pumpkin soup forcibly not because she was greedy for food, but because Thalia had made the soup for her.

Tiffany believed that only by finishing it and smiling from ear to ear could she appease Thalia, who had always been sensitive and prone to letting her imagination run wild.

Tiffany vomited twice more before feeling better in her stomac

She rinsed her mouth and turned around, exhorting, “Eric, you have to keep this a secret for me. Don’t ever tell anyone about what happened today, okay?”

“Got it.” Eric nodded seriously.

Tiffany had the intention to hide this matter, but Charlie was filled with suspicion.

After returning to his room, he asked his wife, “What happened at home after I left today?”

Thalia had no intention of hiding it from him.

Over the years, they had never kept any secrets from each other Hence, she told him the whole story.

When he heard that Tiffany had splashed hot soup on Melody’s face, Charlie denied it without any hesitation. “No way. My daughter would never do this!”

He was sure that even if Tiffany did do it, there must be a reason behind it.

Thalia nodded. “That’s what I thought too. It’s just that at the beginning. I… I was too agitated, so I lost my mind and slapped Tiffany…

“How could you do this?” Charlie was stunned. “How could you hit our daughter?”

He almost cursed.

However, looking at his wife’s guilty expression, he could only suppress his anger. “This can’t happen again. Besides, you have to remember the decision you made with me yesterday.”

He meant the decision to play along with the mistake they had made and not acknowledge Melody.

“I know that.” Thalia let out a long sigh.

Now that she knew that her biological daughter was right under her nose, she thought that she could not just ignore Melody.

Thalia could only answer honestly. Tll try my best to keep my promise.”

“I know that’s hard. Charlie held his wife in his arms.

This was indeed a difficult choice for a mother.

He could only comfort Thalia and said, “Melody is now dating Kenneth. Kenneth even publicly challenged his family and said that he would not marry anyone other than Melody.”
