Her Story: Rise Of Tiffany Novel by Rex Ring
Chapter 426

Scarface Lorenzo lowered his head and said very ingratiatingly, I’m your bodyguard. Some time ago, the butler recruited me and instructed me to protect you from today onward.”

“Really? How come I’m not aware?” Alexia Harper looked at him in disdain and pursed her lips.

“Is the butler blind? He hired such an ugly person like you to protect me? If I have to look at you every day, won’t I lose my appetite?” She was referring to the scar on Lorenzo’s chin which had a different color from the rest of his skin. It made him look particularly menacing.

When he heard this, Scarface Lorenzo raised his head abruptly as a killing intent flashed across his eyes.

He hated it the most who people poked fun at the scar on his face, especially when those people were clearly being condescending just like Alexia was.

However, the killing intent only surfaced for a fleeting instant before vanishing. Scarface Lorenzo smiled ingratiatingly, “If you don’t want to see me, I’ll just walk behind you. At any rate, your safety is the most important, Miss.”

He lowered his head so much that his head almost reached his knees.

Alexia had always led a pampered life and she was arrogant by nature. She loved it when other people worshiped her like a princess and yielded to all her wishes.

Although she was a little puzzled that the butler did not inform her about hiring bodyguards for her, she did not probe further when she saw how compliant this person was. She said with a dismissive wave, “Alright. Since you’re so obedient, I’ll allow you to follow me.”

Her tone was so haughty and she made it sound like it was an honor for Lorenzo to be given such an opportunity.

Scarface Lorenzo simply bowed and replied, “Thank you, Miss.” He would put up with this brat for the time being. When he went to the Harper family’s place later to snatch the treasure box, he would exact revenge on her.

Just like that, Scarface Lorenzo and his gang followed Alexia into the hotel as her bodyguards.

The hands of fate worked in mysterious ways. Sometimes an insignificant event could lead to a chain reaction of repercussions.

If a lapse occurred at some critical juncture, a foolproof plan could be knocked off course completely. This might very well lead to a… disaster.

Although Scarface Lorenzo could make use of Alexia to enter the hotel, he was not able to enter the grand hall where the engagement party was held. All the bodyguards of guests were directed to wait in a special lounge, regardless of the guests‘ statuses.

However, it did not matter as Lorenzo’s goal was to sneak into the hotel.

Now that Lorenzo’s team had successfully sneaked in, Scarface Lorenzo and his two accomplices went straight to the staff room and stole three waiters‘ uniforms.

At the engagement party hall, the tables and chairs had been neatly arranged, and the entry aisle was covered in flower petals. The entire place appeared very romantic and surreal.

There were countless balloons in hues of pink, blue, and white which formed an arch over the entry aisle. One could tell how much effort was put into the decoration.

As soon as Charlie Kelley and Thalia Kelley arrived, they were surrounded by guests. Some congratulated them, some tried to curry favor with them, and some simply took the opportunity to make small talk.

The Kelley family was not considered a high–level aristocratic family in Lovell City in the past. Now that the family had connections to the Hampton family by means of this engagement, the status of the Kelley family had risen dramatically. They were in a different league now.

Even those who had a feud with Charlie were now trying to mend relationships with him. If it was just one or two guys, he could still deal with them. But when there were so many of them, he could not take it anymore.

Charlie had always made a clear distinction between gratitude and grudges. Whoever treated him well, he would return the favor. Similarly, whoever tripped him up in the past and trampled on him when he was down, he could not be bothered to feign civility now.

“Thank you, thank you.” Charlie gave a perfunctory smile and waved at all the people who came to curry favor with him.

Then, he led Thalia away while nagging at her, “Is your stomach hurting again? I told you not to drink that cold beverage in the morning, but you refused to listen. Serve you right!”

As the couple walked further away, the nagging gradually became inaudible…

The guests who were left hanging exchanged looks but the flattery continued unabated. “I’ve long heard that Charlie Kelley dotes on his wife and is a devoted family man. He certainly lives up to his reputation.”

“Indeed,” another chimed in.

However, Charlie could no longer hear these compliments. He led Thalia to the rest lounge at the back and ordered some

and drinks from the waiter. soup

Soon, the hot soup was served. Charlie whipped out the medicine for stomach pain from his pocket and handed it to Thalia. “Come, have some soup first before taking your medicine.”

“Okay.” Thalia reached for the medicine with a blissful smile.

At this moment, a waiter suddenly rushed up and said anxiously, “Mr. Kelley, Mrs. Kelley, your son accidentally fel! pool. Please come quickly!”

“What?” The couple became extremely anxious when they heard this. Didn’t that brat run off to look for his sister? They had allowed the boy to roam freely because they thought that the hotel’s security was tight and there wouldn’t be any danger. Moreover, the party hall was not far from the suite where Tiffany was. How did he fall into the pool out of the blue? Despite the many doubts in their minds, the couple did not hesitate too long and shouted urgently, “Lead the way!”

The waiter immediately turned around and ran up front as the couple followed.

However, the couple became increasingly puzzled as they rushed further away from the public areas. Didn’t he say that Eric had fallen into the pool? This was the hotel’s guest room block and there was no pool here.

Charlie stopped in his tracks and frowned warily. “Hang on.”

He sensed that something was wrong and immediately pulled Thalia with him to turn back.

However, the moment he turned around, he was startled by the sight of a handsome man blocking their way.

The man had an enigmatic air about him. His eyes were dark and steadfast. With that ambiguous expression, he exuded a sense of treacherous cunning.

The waiter who led the way called out respectfully to the mysterious man, “Master.”

Felix Quaid looked at the Kelley couple and smiled faintly. “Forgive me.”

*****

The first thing Tiffany Kelley did when she arrived at the hotel was to touch up her makeup.

Someone had kissed her so vigorously in the car that her lipstick had smudged. When she saw the makeup artist trying to stifle a laugh, she blushed furiously.

Soon, her makeup was fixed and the suite door swung open.

Richard Hampton, dressed in an expensive bespoke suit, walked in.

This man was a walking advertisement for fashion labels. He was a tall strapping man with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. When he wore formal suits, he exuded an air of laid–back elegance that oozed seductiveness that bordered on forbidden desires.

He was aloof and distant, graceful and charming. He resembled a divine presence that was unattainable.

Tiffany’s styling team stole glances in awe at this man–god.

However, Richard only had eyes for Tiffany. His eyes never strayed from her the moment he entered. All he could think about was her.

The styling team tactfully excused themselves.

Richard walked to Tiffany’s side and leaned languidly against the dressing table. As he examined her newly re–applied lipstick, he could not resist chuckling. “What flavor is it this time?”

Tiffany immediately shielded her mouth. “You still want to lick it? It’s toxic!”

Richard raised one eyebrow. His voice was low, seductive, and very pleasing. “Then I’ll try it later tonight.”

Tiffany glared at him wordlessly before her fist suddenly flew out in a fit of embarrassment. “Scum!”
