Her Story: Rise Of Tiffany

Chapter 289

Melody's words sounded sincere, and there was a strong pleading look in her eyes,

Kenneth looked at her silently with mixed feelings.

He felt both heartache and frustration.

He couldn't describe what he was feeling. The only thing that was clear...

At some point, the girl in front of him whom he fell in love with at first sight gradually had impurities in her clear eyes that he could not understand.

Those clear eyes that he had glimpsed on that bloody night were so clean and bright, but now they were getting increasingly murky.

In fact, those eyes seemed unfamiliar.

Kenneth could not resist reaching out and rubbing Melody's eyelids gently with his thumb.

Finally, he nodded. "Okay"

Only then did Melody smile and snuggle into Kenneth's arms happily,

This was what Alexia Harper saw when she arrived.

Enraged by this sight, she immediately ran up and forcefully separated the two of them. Then, she raised her hand and gave Melody a vicious slap.

Alexia acted suddenly and without warning. No one expected it. Melody was stunned for a moment. Then she asked in bewilderment, "Alexia, what's wrong?" "You still have the nerve to ask me what's wrong?"

Alexia gave a scornful laugh. The arrogant and overbearing demeanor of the rich Harper family's daughter had reestablished itself. She raised her chin in a haughty manner. "You're quite good at pretending, aren't you?" "What are you talking about? I don't understand Melody stood there, looking aggrieved. She seemed anxious and confused at being wronged.

Kenneth frowned and said, "Alexia, what's wrong with you? Why did you hit people? Did Melody offend you?"

He did not know who his younger sister took after. A few days ago, she was addressing Melody affectionately but today, she suddenly did a complete about-face.

She even hit people without warning. This younger sister was quite a handful.

"Apologize at once," Kenneth instructed.

"Apologize?" Alexia gave a scornful snort. "Dream on! Kenneth, it was only on your account that I did not slap her more than

once!"

"What on earth happened?" Kenneth's face clouded over at this point.

Worried that he would blow his top, Alexia could only explain. "Kenneth, I want this case to be re-opened!

"Think about it. Since Jansen and Melody are siblings and they are so close, who can say for sure that she was innocent and was only implicated? What if she was behind this all along?" Chapter 289

Alexia continued to give her analysis. "And didn't the other two accomplices insist that they were instructed by Melody? Their claims can't be groundless, so I want the case to he re-opened and investigated again." Upon hearing this, Kenneth was very surprised.

His sister's explanation was clear and logical.

It did not seem like something his brainless sister was capable of uttering.

Although Kenneth was surprised, he had to admit that Alexia bad a point.

Jansen Princeton had two other accomplices. One was called Declan Jahn, and the other was a skinny chap. Those two men's testimonies were uncannily consistent and they both pointed out that Melody Princeton was the mastermind. During the cross-examination, they gave consistent answers on the most minute details so there was no possibility of them acting in cahoots to give false statements.

According to their statements, the three of them took action on Alexia under Melody's arrangement and instigation. Thereafter, they left.

They never bumped into Jade Payne on the way out at all, so there was no such thing as Jansen having to silence her.

Yet, not only did Jansen admit to the crime, but he also produced Jade's necklace as evidence. Naturally, he was convicted

Then now, the question was, who was telling the truth and who was lying?

One could argue that Declan Jahn and the skinny chap wanted to frame Melody and had deliberately lied. Yet, one could also argue that Jansen took the blame to protect someone.

Many things seemed logical on the surface, but once one started analyzing, a worrying pattern emerged whereby all the pieces didn't quite fit together.

Kenneth's belief began to waver.

It was not that he was suspicious of Melody. He simply wanted badly to know the truth and what happened behind the

scenes.

Melody did not miss the slight change in Kenneth's bearing. She smiled bitterly in disappointment. "Kenny, didn't you just say that you believed me? Why are you suspecting me in the blink of an eye?" Before Kenneth could say anything. Alexia lashed out. "Shut up!"

After that, she shook Kenneth's arm and pleaded petulantly. "Kenneth, I'm your biological sister. Surely you want to help me find the person responsible, don't you?"

"Of course," Kenneth replied firmly.

"Then let's get the case re-opened. Perhaps a surprise may be unearthed during the retrial."

As Alexia spoke, she gave Melody a meaningful look.

The provocation in her eyes was especially obvious. There was also a sense of confidence and determination.

From the looks of it, Alexia seemed very sure about the outcome of the retrial.

Melody subconsciously clenched her fists.

She did not know who had brainwashed Alexia so thoroughly that it led to a complete falling out between them. Alexia had totally forgotten who had rescued her earlier. Chapter 289

Although she was filled with hatred, Melody was calm outwardly She even played along. "In order to prove my innocence, I agree to a retrial. I will cooperate at every stage."

What a lofly statement! And she proclaimed it so righteously. Alexia greeted Melody's proclamation with derision.

At any rate, it was fine as long as Alexia could achieve her goal.

Kenneth didn't say anything else. Just as he was about to get someone to investigate again, he received a call

As soon as he answered the call, he heard his subordinate's urgent report.

"Bad news, Mr. Harper. Jansen Princeton killed himself in prison When the authorities discovered him, he was already on the verge of dying. They tried to save him without success and he was later pronounced dead..." Over at Luna Villa...

"What did you say?" Tiffany was dumbfounded when she heard the news.

She found it hard to believe that Jansen would kill himself. He was such a greedy and mercenary fellow. It was highly unlikely that he would sacrifice himself to pave the way for Melody.

Besides, the siblings didn't seem to get along that well.

Tiffany did not anticipate this development.

June Spencer chimed in, "I also find it unbelievable, but since it has already happened, there doesn't seem to be a need to re open the case...

With Jansen's death, all the guilt was heaped on him..

There wouldn't be any evidence to incriminate Melody even if the case was re-opened.

This move was akin to a Queen Sacrifice. It was indeed a stroke of genius.

Tiffany gave a scornful snort and shook her head. "Putting aside the other fellows, what I want to know is why is Jansen so obedient?"

Based on what they found out previously, Jansen was undoubtedly a cowardly person.

What benefits did Melody promise him?

Jeremy Cooper interjected at this point. "Jansen Princeton's state of mind that night was not quite right. The only explanation and possibility is that he might have been put under a spell so his thoughts were controlled." "Spell?" Tiffany suddenly remembered that at Sandra Olson and Jordan Booth's wedding, Sandra had also tried to cast a spell on Tiffany but she did not succeed.

It never occurred to her that Melody also knew how to deploy mind-control spells.

What was this woman's background?
