Her Story: Rise Of Tiffany
Tiffany 679

Chapter 679

Sidney’s expression darkened at the thought of that woman’s interference, which had caused a significant misunderstanding between him and Zoc.

He recalled that woman’s name was Kate.

Without wasting time, Sidney changed out of the hospital gown and left swiftly.

The roar of his sports car echoed as he sped away.

Donna stood in the driveway, shouting after him, “Sidney, come back! Don’t you dare go looking for that girl, do you hear me?”

Her words were answered only by the dust kicked up in his wake

Sidney strode into a high–end restaurant in Lovell City.

Upon seeing him, the staff immediately straightened up and greeted, “Mr. Pauley.”

Sidney chose a table with a prime view and ordered an elaborate spread without much interest. He asked nonchalantly, “Where’s your manager?”

Before the waiter could respond, a familiar, high–pitched voice called out, “Sidney!”

Looking up, Sidney saw Kate in an elegant cocktail dress. Her makeup was impeccable, and she carried herself with a demure air. She hurried over with a look of feigned innocence, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

“Why didn’t you tell me you were coming, Sidney?” she said with a soft giggle.

The waiter nodded slightly. “Ms. Swift, I will take my leave.”

“Yes, yes, go.” Kate waved dismissively before turning her full attention to Sidney.

The Swift family, a leader in the culinary industry, owned this restaurant. As the family’s heiress, Kate held the position of manager here.

Sidney sneered and appeared to be cold and detached.

Kate froze for a moment, and just then, the waiter served two plates of beautifully presented foie gras. She pushed one toward Sidney, her tone sweet and ingratiating. “Sidney, try this.”

Sidney casually picked up the utensils and smirked sarcastically. “This? Just looking at it ruins my appetite.”

He tossed the cutlery aside as if it were worthless.

Kate was stunned. Staring at Sidney’s cold and disdainful expression, an unsettling thought crept into her mind. It felt as if Sidney’s words weren’t aimed at the foie gras but at her.

He had no appetite for her, no interest in her at all…

“Sidney…” She forced a bright smile in an attempt to change the subject.

Sidney cut her off coldly. “Parading around under the guise of being my fiancée? Kate, stop flattering yourself. Do it again, and I will hold you accountable, even if you are a woman.”

With that, he stood up, tossed a generous amount of cash on the table, and walked away without a glance track

The waiter stood frozen, unsure of what to do since the dishes weren’t even fully served. But seeing Kate’s extremely unpleasant expression, he hesitated and decided not to approach

After a long silence, Kate let out a sharp scream, angrily flipping over the table in front of her. The loud crash drew everyone’s attention in the restaurant.

An irritated customer nearby slammed his table. “What’s all the noise? Can’t we eat in peace?

“I’m sorry. So sorry… the waiter hurriedly apologized,

But Kate didn’t seem to hear a single word. Her mind replayed Sidney’s icy gaze, his mocking words, and his unequivocal rejection.

The Swift and Pauley families were a perfect match in both wealth and status. Their parents were more than happy to see them together.

Kate had once seen herself as Sidney’s future wife, but she never expected him to disregard her dignity completely for a giri who wasn’t even worthy of mention.

Then, Kate stormed out of the restaurant in anger.

For Sidney, this was nothing more than a minor episode.

He had made his stance clear, and how the Swift family reacted was of no concern to him.

The sky began to darken, Tiffany had been waiting for an entire day and night.

From dawn to dusk, there was still no news of Richard.

Tiffany thought, ‘Where the hell did he go?”

Her mind was consumed with worry. By the afternoon, she had already sent John and Garry out to search for him, along with her subordinates from Luna Villa.

All of Lovell City was practically turned upside down, but there was still no trace of Richard.

Her phone rang, and she quickly answered, “Hello? Any news?”

John reported truthfully, “No. We’ve searched the entire valley and every village, but there’s still no sign of Mr. Hampton.*

“Keep looking.” Then, Tiffany hung up.

A servant nearby urged her gently, “Mrs. Hampton, please eat something. You haven’t had a single bite all day.”

Tiffany initially wanted to refuse but eventually relented. “Bring it over.”

In a hurried five minutes, she quickly finished her food and rushed upstairs again.

Tiffany closed the bedroom door and took out the Treasure Box once again.

The soft, blue glow it emitted cast a mysterious aura over the entire room.

Before Tiffany could speak, the Treasure Box took the initiative. Master, I truly am powerless. Some secrets are beyond my reach and cannot be revealed.”

Chapter 679

“I’m not asking you to find–Richard.” Tiffany tilted her chin upward, gesturing. “Show me the events from last night when f rescued someone in that cabin.”

There were no cameras in that area, leaving her unaware of what had happened to Richard.

While the Treasure Box couldn’t locate him, it could at least show her what she had experienced. Maybe she could spot something crucial.

The Treasure Box hesitated. “This…”

“What? Are you saying even this is beyond you?” 11er tone carried a faint trace of menace.

The Treasure Box felt trapped but knew Tiffany’s temper all too well. If it refused again, it would probably be shattered into pieces in the next moment.

It replied, “Fine.”

The blue glow intensified, though it wasn’t harsh to Tiffany’s eyes. She sat calmly on the edge of the bed as a vivid, realistic scene surfaced in her mind.

She watched intently, determined not to miss even the smallest detail.

In the vision, she kicked open the en door, rescuing the girl who had almost been violated by the despicable Jeffrey.

Next, she tended to the injured forest ranger lying unconscious on the floor. But then…

Tiffany was stunned.

At the moment she knelt to check the ranger’s injuries, Richard, who had been standing at the cabin door, suddenly walked away. In the dimly lit cabin, the window reflected two fleeting shadows.

One of them was likely Richard, but Tiffany couldn’t figure out who the other person was.

Tiffany suddenly remembered something. On the day with the Azure Sea Royal Family, when Morwen had fallen from the castle, a dark figure swiftly rescued her.

She pondered if it was the same shadowy figure was the one who had drawn Richard away last night.

Realizing this, Tiffany couldn’t waste another second. She shoved the Treasure Box back into the drawer, quickly changed into different clothes, and grabbed her bow and arrows.

Just as she was about to close the drawer, her eyes fell on a spring–loaded knife lying quietly inside. She froze for a moment.

This was the knife James had given her.

Back then, when she realized he had been silently protecting her, she’d been deeply touched. Yet later, she discovered he was also one of the people trying to take her life. The irony was bitter.

Withdrawing her hand, Tiffany turned and leaped out of the window.

Inside the room, the Treasure Box, now haphazardly stuffed into the drawer, continued to emit its faint glow.
