Her Story: Rise Of Tiffany Novel by Rex Ring
Chapter 71

Sidney said over the phone, “Nope. Not only did we fail to replace out the background of the Miracle Healer, but we can’t even identify June’s background. I feel that someone deliberately cut off all clues.”

Sidney clicked his tongue in amazement and continued, “Who are they exactly? Even I couldn’t get my hands on their information.”

Richard raised his eyebrows. He had expected this outcome.

Sidney asked. “By the way, why did you ask me to investigate them? Do you suspect them approaching you with ulterior motives?”

Richard replied. “It’s not that.”

His intuition was telling him something.

For some reason, he felt that the Miracle Healer looked a little familiar. Her expression, her silhouette, and even her aura were somewhat similar to Tiffany’s.

That was why he asked Sidney to investigate June and the Miracle Healer.

The result was just as he had expected. Sidney couldn’t replace anything about June and the Miracle Healer.

Richard said, “Drop the investigation. That’s all.”*

With that, he hung up.

On the other end, Sidney fell into deep thought.

He wondered if things were really going as he jinxed.

He exclaimed internally, ‘Richard sure is popular with girls”

Sidney sighed.

Even Richard Hampton, the once ethereal and aloof figure, was showing signs of falling in love. Sidney lamented his singlehood.

Feeling lonely, Sidney sent a message to Zoe. [Do you want to date me?]

To that Zoe replied: [Do you want to die?]

Sidney laughed when he saw the reply overflowing with irritation.

Zoe was in the middle of an exam when she received Sidney’s message.

Initially, she thought that she could just skip to the next question since she was clueless about the current question she was tackling. However, in the end, she realized that she didn’t know how to answer all the questions.

Irritated, she wanted to give Sidney a good scolding.

Previously, the two of them met with a calamity at Maple Mountain and had a near death experience together.

However, not only did they not become friends after that, but because Sidney had accidentally seen Zoe naked, Zoe had strong urge to kill Sidney even until now.

They had not met each other since the incident. They only bickered occasionally through text messages. Therefore, Zoe couldn’t kill Sidney even if she wanted to.

Looking at Zoe scratching her head, Ged nudged her arm and asked, “Aren’t you going to answer the questions? It’s almost time for submission.”

Zoe replied through her gritted teeth, “I’m writing now.”

She looked like a soldier heading to war. She looked confident though she could answer any kind of difficult question.

Just when Ged was happy for Zoe’s academic improvement, he heard her say, “Let me show the teacher how ineffective the lessons were.

Ged was speechless.

He almost fell from his chair.

Tiffany napped for a little more than an hour.

She was woken up by a commotion.

She got up in a daze and followed the sound to the window.

When she looked out of the window, she saw a scene that made her body tremble. She was wide awake immediately.

In the courtyard of the villa, Richard was sitting on a chair with a domineering posture.

In front of him, Kenneth was half-kneeling on the ground. His white shirt was stained with blood. His face was pale and cold sweat rolled down his forehead. However, he gritted his teeth and didn’t make a sound.

Tiffany recalled Richard issuing a punishment of 50 lashes to Kenneth on Romeo’s birthday party before the former carried her away.

Tiffany initially thought that Richard was just putting on a show to make her feel better. She initially believed that surely Richard would not force Kenneth to carry out such a heavy punishment since they were relatives.

Therefore, Tiffany did not take the punishment to heart.

However, Richard was indeed a man of his word. Not only did he really whip Kenneth, but he showed the latter no mercy! Tiffany was shocked to see Kenneth’s bloody appearance.

Mrs. Harper felt her heart ache as she cried. She tried to stop Richard. “Richard, you can’t do this. Kenneth is your nephew, Even if he made a mistake, you shouldn’t punish him so harshly

Kenneth was Mrs. Harper’s only son. She could not bear to even imagine the consequence of losing her son

However, Richard was unmoved by Mrs. Harper’s pleading. He instructed, “Keep it going?

The subordinate with the whip in his hand nodded and swung it at Kenneth again.

After more than ten whips, Kenneth could not hold on anymore and fell to the ground.

Mrs. Harper pounced forward to stop Richard’s subordinate from continuing. She screamed, “Stop it! Stop it right now!”

However, Richard’s voice sounded like it came from the abyss. He extinguished Mrs. Harper’s hope with his cold-blooded voice.

“Keep it going.”

Richard’s subordinate whipped Kenneth again.

Mrs. Harper tried to hug Kenneth, but she was dragged away by a few other subordinates.

Mrs. Harper’s cries gradually faded into the distance. When the subordinate had finished whipping Kenneth 50 times, Richard looked at Kenneth and asked calmly. “Do you know why! punished you?”

Kenneth replied. “No, I don’t know.”

He was on the verge of death.

Although he claimed that he didn’t know, he had a vague idea of why Richard punished him.

This was not the first time Richard sided with Tiffany. Previously, Richard had scolded him because of Tiffany. This time, Richard whipped him until he was half-dead, also because of Tiffany

Despite his vague speculation, Kenneth refused to think deeper about it.

Richard’s handsome face looked indifferent. He said coldly, “Who do you think you are to make her kneel down to you! These 50 whips are a gentle reminder to you. If you dare to touch a strand of her hair in the future, I’ll f***g cripple you.”

Richard did not mention Tiffany’s name

However, judging from his domineering attitude, his intention was bright as day.

Kenneth smiled bitterly.

He thought, ‘Richard has indeed punished me because of Tiffany!

Without thinking, Kenneth blurted out, “Uncle Richard, are you interested in her?”

Richard replied, “That’s a good question.”

He chuckled. His gaze was piercing as he declared, “That’s why I’m warning you to be more polite to my future wife.

Richard admitted his feelings for Tiffany, openly and matter-of-factly.

Kenneth’s entire body trembled. His pupils constricted, and his face was filled with shock and disbelief.

He never expected that Richard would declare his feelings for any girl.

Kenneth could not properly process his emotions now.

He thought, “How could someone as vicious, arrogant, and willfid as Tiffany be worthy of Richard?

However, Richard did not give Kenneth a chance to ask him more questions. With a wave of his hand, the well-trained bodyguards in Royal Bay dragged Kenneth, who was covered in injuries, back to the Harper residence along with Mrs. Harper, who had fainted from anger.

Tiffany stood beside the window and witnessed the scene.

Although she could not hear the conversation below, she knew very well that Kenneth had been beaten up today by Richard because of her.

She felt an overwhelming warmth enveloping her.

All her anger and regret seemed to have dissolved like melting sow.

The comers of Tiffany’s mouth curled up slightly. Her smile lasted for only a brief moment, but it was a smile filled with gratitude.

Her phone suddenly rang.

Tiffany took a look at it and noticed that the call was from Richard.

She laughed and immediately cleared her throat, reverting to her original voice. She said, “Hello?”

Her voice was exceptionally pleasing to Richard’s ears. It was as if it had magic power, instantly calming his frustration.

Richard’s tone became gentler. He asked, “Are your knees better?

Tiffany replied. “It’s much better now,”

She smiled and continued. “Thank you.”

She was thanking him for standing up for her.

Tiffany felt really good when looking at Kenneth being beaten.

It was satisfying
