Chapter Tiffany 308
Chapter 308
Richard's icy dark eyes were brimming with hidden hostility and killing intent.
Totally devoid of empathy, his face had only endless disgust.
Two words rolled off Richard's tongue in a merciless fashion. "Cid lost."
Grelle's delighted smile froze at the same time as her excited heart.
However, in the next instant, she came back to her senses and smiled sweetly. She boldly took a step forward and presented a steaming roasted sweet potato
"Sir, I roasted it specially for you! Try it!"
No one could bear to hurt such an innocent and adorable girl.
Tiffany's expression was so calm that no one could see any emotion.
Only her tightly clenched hands betrayed her nervousness.
Richard did not say anything but that only made his demeanor all the more terrifying.
Grelle kept offering the sweet potato but Richard's gaze was fixed intently on Tiffany.
His dark eyes were unfathomable.
Grelle still wanted to go closer, but she was stopped by someone.
John Ross said without emotion, "Thanks but no. Take care, I won't send you off."
Richard hated people getting close and touching him the most. Was this young girl courting death or what?
Despite the rebuff, Grelle was still smiling
In the end, she shoved the roasted sweet potato into John's hands and called out to Richard again. "It's really delicious. Sir. you have to try it!"
With that, she stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and ran away.
She was so full of vitality. Like the natural beauty of this valley, she was innocent and pure, beautiful and lovable.
Tiffany sighed. Such a delightful girl whom even women took a liking to was surely resistible to most men. Throughout the whole incident, she did not have the courage to look at Richard directly.
As a result, she never saw the man's eyes boring down on her.
Seeing that Tiffany was unmoved, Richard felt even more frustrated.
Wasn't she angry that someone was trying to please him? Or did this heartless girl simply not care at all?
Richard's eyes glinted as the terrifying fury within him became even more palpable. His flawless and handsome face was downright frosty. Like an Asura that had descended to the mortal world, his entire body was filled with murderous animosity. Unease spread across the crowd. Everyone kept his head low, trying to avoid being the next unlucky guy.

Chapter 308
In the next second, Richard strode purposefully towards Tiffany
The tall man's shadow loomed over her bit by bit."

Tiffany's heart was pounding madly. Under the rising sun, the long shadows of the two people gradually intersected on the ground.
A refreshing and pleasant scent wafted into Tiffany's nose as the man got closer...
Eventually, she raised her head and saw a devilishly handsome face.
Richard pursed his thin lips. His dark eyes were sharp and threatening, icy and emotionless.
Tiffany's palms became clammy and she felt a little nervous for no reason.
Ever since the confrontation at Royal Bay, she had not made any attempt to contact Richard.
It would be a lie to say that she was not angry over Ged Moody's death.
What she
found even more unacceptable was that he was using her as bait.
Tormented by conflicting emotions, Tiffany did not know how to face this man. Thus, she lowered her head and stared at her shoes intently.
There were cracks on the ground. Ants were relocating their nest. It looked like rain was imminent.....
Hmph!" A scornful snort, imbued with suppressed anger, was heard.
The next second, Richard swept past her with a stony expression
John hurried after him. Along the way, he tossed the still steaming roasted sweet potato away in disgust.
Tiffany could finally breathe easy though her face did not betray any emotions. "Let's go."
Zoe immediately followed.
Kenneth and his group also followed, each member immersed in his own thoughts.
Only Melody was secretly pleased and almost laughed out loud.
To think that she had believed those rumors and thought that Tiffany was really lucky to have caught Richard's eye!
This encounter showed that there was no truth to those rumors at all.
As she mulled over this, she felt much happier.
The only worry now was that Sandra Olson had yet to appear. Should she carry out the plan or wait? She did not want this whole exercise to be a futile trip. She couldn't pass up such a rare opportunity.
Soon, the group reached the current elementary school in Melvor Mountain under a villager's lead.
Although it was called a school, it was actually an extremely rudimentary and run-down building.
The external walls were decrepit and the roof leaked when it rained. It looked like it might collapse at any time and it was quite dangerous to stay inside. After discussing with the villagers, Kenneth finally chose a flat area to be the site of the new school
Chapter 308
This site was located away from the future roads and bridge construction sites so there was no likelihood of future construction sites obstructing one another. While Kenneth was discussing with the villagers, Melody could not interrupt and could only walk around nearby.
Suddenly, a stone hit her leg.
"Who is it?" Melody turned around angrily.
She thought that Zoe or Tiffany was taking revenge on her, but when she turned around, she saw that the person hiding in the bushes was Sanitra Olson.
She beckoned to Melody. "What are you waiting for? Come here
Melody quickly checked her surroundings. Certain that no one was around, she then hurried to Sandra. "Didn't you say that you would take action last night? It's already morning now yet nothing happened." "What's the hurry?"
Sandra handed Melody a small paper bag from her pocket and said. "There's a farm-to-table feast in the village tonight. Think of a way to add this to the food. When everyone else is asleep, Jure Tiffany Kelley to the mountain." "This is a drug? But didn't you say that Tiffany is immune to all sorts of drugs?" Melody was puzzled.
"This medicine isn't for her. It's to make those villagers sleep. As for you, don't show up at the wrong time and ruin my plans, understand?"
"Got it." Melody was smart. After thinking for a while, she understood Sandra's plan.
If all the villagers were drugged, no one would be able to go to Tiffany's rescue. Then what happened to her could be attributed to an accident.
There were no surveillance cameras or evidence, so who could trace it back to Sandra and Melody?
Sandra continued, "By the way, I've already prepared the things on the mountain. Tiffany is very vigilant. Are you confident that you can lure her up the mountain?"
Melody smiled confidently. "Don't worry."
She put the bag of knock-out powder away and returned to Kenneth's side while Sandra slipped away quietly.
Everything was settled without attracting attention.
The two girls were confident, but they did not know that on a tree not far away, Jeremy Cooper, who had disguised himself, was perched on a tree trunk. A blade of grass dangled from his mouth as he took in everything without any emotion. There was indeed a big farm-to-table feast in the village tonight
This was the most lavish way for the villagers of Melvor Mountain to welcome guests.
Every family had to offer the best ingredient for tonight's feast. Then, they had to get the best chef in the village to cook up a storm and welcome the guests with a big spread of delectable dishes.
The cook and her helpers started preparing the ingredients in the afternoon. More than a dozen people busied themselves in the communal kitchen
Tiffany sat on the wicker chair and closed her
Zoe hesitated for a long time before asking tentatively. "Tiffany, did you... did you quarrel with Ms Hampton?"
Chapter 308
In Zoe's eyes, Tiffany and Richard were an item.
Therefore, this morning, when she saw that the benefactor next oor was Richard, she was somewhat happy. However, she did not know that the relationship between the two of them had hit a roadblock and become tense and awkward.
