Her Story: Rise Of Tiffany Novel by Rex Ring
Chapter 363

Kenneth looked up at her. There was obvious fatigue on his handsome face, and… scrutiny. “Why did you and Tiffany fall off the deck together?”

This cruise ship was meant to receive all kinds of banquets and parties. For the safety of the guests coming and going, there was a safety board on the deck at the very edge. Since there was a safety board, how could both of them fall down?

Melody lowered her head and said aggrievedly, “On such an occasion today, my presence more or less made Tiffany unhappy. When I came to the deck to look for her, she even hit me…”

“And then?” asked Kenneth.

Melody replied, “Then I ducked back. She came after me. I’d already retreated to the edge of the deck. She wouldn’t let up. She pushed me again. I was trying to grab something when I fell, I accidentally pulled her down with me.”

“Is that so?” Kenneth did not believe such an excuse.

Melody immediately nodded. “I can swear that everything I said is true!”

“And…” She tooked dejected and added, “And Mom saw it with her own eyes. At that time, Tiffany wanted to push me off the ship. You can verify this at any time.” She spoke frankly and without any loopholes.

Moreover, Thalia had seen it with her own eyes. As a mother, it was impossible for Thalia to harm Tiffany. Hence, these words should be true.

Kenneth rubbed the space between his eyebrows and did not say anything else.

Seeing this, Melody smiled bitterly and asked, “Kenneth, do you not believe me?”

“No, I’m tired. Stay with Mr. Kelley. I’ll go back first.” After soaking in the river for the entire night, Kenneth’s head was spinning. He left.

The remaining people gradually dispersed.

Charlie sat on the deck in a daze. He supported his head with his hand and his eyes were washed–out.

Melody walked over and gently stroked his back to comfort him. “Dad, you have to pull yourself together. Mom is still in the hospital…”

Charlie finally reacted when the wife he cared about the most was mentioned. He stood up in a daze and got into the car with the help of his driver.

Melody followed, and everyone dispersed. All the staff on the cruise ship changed their clothes and got off work after finishing their work.

The waiter named Wayne did not return to the staff locker room after the manager dismissed him. Instead, he rushed to the cabin door. He wanted to pick up his phone.

Along the way, Wayne was worried. He muttered to himself, “Please don’t let the guests pick it up. Please don’t let others pick it up!”

He ran over and saw that his phone, which he had dropped but did not dare to pick up, was still standing in the corner.

“That’s great!” Wayne heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this corner was very hidden, so no one had discovered it and picked it up.

But then again, the guests on the cruise ship were either rich or noble. Even if they

saw it, they would not care about his lousy phone.

He carefully picked up the phone and carefully wiped the dust off it before lighting up the phone screen.

However, when he saw the time that kept jumping on it, he was instantly stunned. ‘Why is a video recorded?‘

Wayne scratched his head. He must have been careless when he turned on the camera to secretly take a photo of the girl’s back. He had accidentally recorded the entire process.

Filled with joy and nervousness, Wayne saved the video and played it back.

The girl on the deck was dressed in a red dress and looked stunning. Her every movement was breathtakingly beautiful. This was an almost fatal attraction.

Wayne’s heart was beating wildly, but when he thought of the accident that happened tonight, he could not help but feel regretful. ‘Why did Miss Kelley fall into the river out of the blue? Alas…!

The video continued to play, but another girl barged into the camera

Wayne recognized her at a glance. This girl in a beautiful gown was the protagonist of tonight’s banquet, the daughter of the Kelley family who had been found.

He continued to watch, and then his face changed. He was shocked, aghast, and in disbelief.

‘So… Miss Kelley was pushed off the deck by her sister!‘ Wayne could not stop trembling. ‘What should I do…

Should I expose such a big matter to Mr. Kelley?

‘However, Mr. Kelley has already lost a daughter. If I expose this matter, would Mr. Kelley accept my kindness?

‘What if he takes revenge on me for being nosy?^

Wayne was at a loss. He heard a colleague call out to him not far away, “Wayne, what are you standing there for? Don’t you want to go home after work?”

“Here we go.” He carefully put away his phone and suppressed the panic in his heart. He returned home without changing

out of his work clothes.

After thinking about it, he felt that it was necessary to tell Charlie about this even at the risk of offending Charlie.

With this thought in mind, Wayne immediately applied for leave and prepared to visit the Kelley family the next day.

At the same time, after Kenneth returned to his manor, his head was dizzy and his footsteps were heavy. He asked the servant to take a thermometer and indeed, he had a high fever due to the cold river water.

The servant said, “Mr. Harper, the family doctor is at Mr. Romeo Harper’s place. I’ll call him over.”

“There’s no need. I’ll go over myself.” Kenneth got up and walked toward the courtyard where his grandfather lived.

It was already so late, but Romeo was still awake. Kenneth was a little surprised. He called out as soon as he entered, but he -realized that Romeo was not in the bedroom at all.

‘Grandpa must be in the bathroom… Kenneth leaned against the wall and sat down. His hand accidentally touched a mural on the wall.

With a click, there was the sound of a mechanism working. The next second, a secret compartment appeared on the originally flat wall.

Stunned, he got up to take a look.

There was a dark blue box in the secret compartment.

There were strange but exquisite patterns on the box. It was definitely not an ordinary item.

Kenneth reached out to touch it in surprise when he heard a furious voice behind him, “Stop it!”

Romeo rushed over with his walking stick. His face was filled with unprecedented nervousness.

Trembling, he glared at Kenneth and shouted, “Who told you to move it?”

“Grandpa…” Speaking of which, this was the first time Kenneth had seen his grandfather get angry.

In the past, no matter how big a mistake he made, Romeo would only reprimand him. But this time, it was as if Romeo wanted to hit him.

Romeo quickly closed the secret compartment. The aura on his body was shocking and terrifying. “Just pretend that you’ve never seen it. You’ve never discovered it. You’re not allowed to ask or mention it!”

Kenneth asked, “Why?”

“There’s no reason! Anyway, you have to remember my words. Otherwise, you’ll bring disaster to our entire family!” Romeo warned.

‘Is it that serious?‘ Kenneth frowned. Looking at Romeo’s tense face, he nodded. “Got it.”

Romeo’s expression softened a little. “Alright, you can leave.”

“Grandpa, rest early.” Kenneth turned around and left.

When he returned to the front hall, he found that the family doctor had already returned from Romeo’s place. He prescribed Kenneth medicine and instructed Kenneth on the dosage. Kenneth took it and returned to his room.

Kenneth was still worried about the mysterious blue box. ‘Since Grandpa said that the box would bring trouble to the Harper family, why does he keep it? Unless that box… is very important!”

Kenneth took the medicine, but he couldn’t fall asleep. He got up and drew a rough sketch of the box, then handed it to his trusted subordinate. “Go and replace out what this thing is.”
