Chapter 64
Richard’s response immediately put Kenneth in his place. Kenneth’s face turned pale.
He knew that Richard, his uncle who was only seven years older than him, was currently in a state of anger.
Kenneth said, “Uncle Richard, 1—’
Richard interrupted Kenneth’s explanation and said, “Don’t call me uncle. I don’t have a nephew as blind as you.”
Kenneth choked on his words.
At the side, Sandra was secretly angry. Nevertheless, she put on an expression of pity and said with a sobbing voice, “Mr. Hampton. I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. It’s not Tiffany’s or Kenneth’s fault. I’m sorry.”
After saying that, she even bowed to express her apology.
Her eyes were red as she bit her lip to stop herself from crying. Her acting skills were perfect.
More importantly, most men would fall for her tricks. Their hearts would usually soften and they would pity her when they saw her in such a state.
Tiffany was filled with disgust and was curious to find out Richard’s reaction.
Tiffany wondered, ‘Would Richard fall for Sandra’s acting too?
Tiffany furtively raised her head and heard Richard calmly say, “Don’t talk to me. I’m a clean freak.
His tone was filled with disdain towards Sandra.
Tiffany almost burst out laughing.
By ordering Sandra to not talk to him and stating that he was a clean freak, Richard was practically mocking Sandra for being filthy.
Tiffany felt an indescribable feeling surge inside her.
She thought, Thank God Richard has a pair of discerning eyes.
Hearing this, Sandra raised her head in shock, her eyes filled with disbelief.
However, Richard could not be bothered with her. He said to one of his men, “Wake up the person who is lying on the ground.”
The young man lying on the ground was called Jordan Booth. He was the guy who slept with Sandra.
Just now, Kenneth had broken through the door and knocked Jordan out with a punch. Therefore, Jordan had been lying motionlessly on the ground in a corner. No one cared about him.
To verify if Tiffany was innocent or guilty, all Kenneth needed to do was wake up Jordan and ask him about the ins and outs of this incident.
Unfortunately, Kenneth was biased towards Sandra. Therefore, he accused Tiffany after listening to Sandra’s one-sided testimony.
However, Richard was different,
He sided with Tiffany without a doubt.
Tiffany lowered her
ves slightly and pacified her racing heart.
After a few slaps, Jordan woke up.
Jordan mumbled, “Huh? Who hit me?”
Jordan was famous for being a p**oy.
He was frivolous and looked down on everyone.
The Booth family got lucky with their business endeavors some years ago. They suddenly turned from a poor family into nouveau riche. Their statuses changed drastically, but they were still as vulgar and rude as before. Therefore, no one among the noble families in Lovell City looked highly on the Booth family.
Seeing that Jordan wanted to curse again, Richard’s subordinate slapped him twice.
The subordinate asked, “Answer my questions honestly. Why are you in this room? Who arranged for you to stay here?”
Jordan answered. “Someone from the hotel sent me here. I asked for an escort, and she told me to wait in the room. So I waited”
After that, he mistook Sandra as an escort, and things escalated to how they were currently.
After listening to Jordan’s side of the story, everyone could deduce that the attendant’s initial claim of Tiffany Juring Sandra here was false. This was because the person who took the room card in the beginning was Sandra herself.
It was either the hotel had made a mistake, or the person who had planned all of this was originally targeting Tiffany. Unfortunately for the culprit, the situation had not gone the way they wanted by a freak combination of factors.
Kenneth’s expression changed drastically after learning the truth
It was a pity that the attendant had left the room earlier. They definitely could not catch her now!
Kenneth turned around and looked at Sandra suspiciously.
He questioned, “Tell me. What’s going on?”
Sandra’s heart skipped a beat. Her lips trembled as she shook her head with tears in her eyes. “I don’t-”
Before she could finish her sentence, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
The timing of her fainting was impeccable.
After Jordan revealed everything he knew, he sobered up a little. He looked at the group of people in the room and asked, “Who are you? Who hit me just now?”
Richard’s subordinate thought Jordan was too noisy, so the former punched him expressionlessly and warned, “You should shut up.
The truth of the incident was revealed.
Before Richard turned around and left with Tiffany in his arms, be tilted his head and,said to Kenneth, “You’ll take 50
Richard had issued a punishment to Kenneth based on the Hampton family’s rule.
Richard had the final say in the Hampton family.
Although Kenneth was not a core member of the Hampton family, he was considered half a Hampton family member. He still had to obey the rules unconditionally.
30 lashes was definitely a harsh punishment.
However, it was not unjust at all.
Kenneth’s entire body trembled. He did not expect to be punished with 50 lashes for such a small matter.
However, when he heard Richard’s unquestionable tone, he had no choice but to answer, “Understood.”
Richard left with Tiffany in his arms.
Richard’s subordinates also tactfully retreated.
Tiffany was still in a daze as her mind recalled what happened just now.
She mumbled. “Thank you.”
After Tiffany finished speaking, she belatedly realized that Richard had been carrying her for a long time. She hurriedly said, “Are you tired? Put me down. I’m fine!”
Richard mocked. “Your knees are swollen. You call that fine?”
Richard brought Tiffany to the top floor of the hotel. He had reserved the entire floor for himself. The surroundings were quiet and the decorations were luxurious. Richard really lived like an emperor.
Richard got someone to deliver a first aid kit to the room. Then, he personally applied the medicine for Tiffany.
Tiffany was a little embarrassed, but she could not dissuade Richard’s domineering insistence.
Richard teased, “Behave yourself and don’t take advantage of me
Hearing this. Tiffany was speechless and admitted defeat.
The injury on her knees looked scary. It was seriously swollen. Tiffany was also in a lot of pain when Richard applied the medicine on her.
However, Tiffany did not say a word. Her mind was occupied by something else.
She asked without thinking, “Don’t you suspect that I did it?”
Although it was not her intention, Tiffany was indeed the one who drugged Sandra and pushed the latter into the room. It was an eye for an eye since Sandra wanted to harm her first.
Tiffany thought, ‘If Richard knows that the person he defended is actually not a kind person and is even equally unscrupulous, he will probably be very disappointed, right?”
Richard raised his eyebrows and replied casually, “So what?”
So what if Tiffany was a scheming woman who did all of this with vicious methods?
Tiffany was speechless. Her heart skipped a beat because of Richard’s response and his matter-of-fact attitude. Excitement overwhelmed her, causing her heart to beat erratically.
Richard gently knocked Tiffany on the head and teased, “I suppose you want to thank me again?*
Tiffany exclaimed internally, ‘How did he know?”
Tiffany lowered her head and muttered softly, “All I can say is thank you.”
Richard lowered his head and looked at her. After a while, he chuckled and rubbed Tiffany’s head.
He said. “Well, you’re welcome.”
His touch was gentle and doting.
Even his words sounded like a lover’s whisper.
Tiffany was stunned.
Her face turned as red as a tomato.
