Her Story: Rise Of Tiffany Novel by Rex Ring

Chapter 285 Chapter 285 Declan Jahn, who was still in police custody, shuddered.

He saw Melody Princeton's smug look and the chilliness that flashed in her eyes for a fleeting moment.

It felt as if he was being targeted by a venomous snake whose sharp fangs could bite his neck at any moment.

This was a harbinger of death.

Declan kept trembling, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

He had known Melody for quite stnow.

As he was on good terms with Jansen Princeton, he met Melody often. However, in his impression, she was just a punching bag for the members of the Princeton family.

Though she was beaten and scolded, and other people made things difficult for her, she never once fought back.

But now, he finally realized... he was wrong about her.

In fact, everyone was wrong about her.

This seemingly quiet and often-bullied girl was the real ruthless character! Declan was regretting a little now.

He had listened to Tiffany Kelley and turned himself in. He also testified that Melody was the mastermind behind Alexia Harper's kidnapping. Was his decision right or wrong? If Melody decided to kill him, who could protect him? Despite Tiffany repeatedly assuring him that he would not be subjected to retaliation from anyone other than his due culpability, could her words be trusted? After all, Melody had Kenneth Harper's backing. It was like what happened just now. There was ample evidence and she was the number one suspect, but when Kenneth arrived, he was able to get Melody out with just a few words....

The more Declan thought about it, the more regretful he became. He sat on the ground with a dispirited expression.

Meanwhile, at Cedar Ridge Villa, the damaged gate had already been replaced with a new one. The security had also been revamped.

Tiffany's parents were downright furious with Mrs. Harper and her antics. This woman was too much! Fortunately, she did not gain anything in the end. Instead, she was taught a hard lesson by Tiffany.

The servants in the Kelley household even secretly took a photo of Mrs. Harper's disheveled appearance. She looked so comical and laughable, and it was truly satisfying to gloat over her plight.

At present. Tiffany was upstairs talking on the phone with June Spencer.

"Miss Kelley, Kenneth Harper bailed Melody Princeton out. He also said that the evidence was not valid. As for the video of Melody admitting her guilt, he denied everything without even viewing it." "I'm not surprised." Tiffany replied.

Then what should we do? IDeclan Jalin's testimony is not valid it will be cult to pin the cron Melody," June said with a frown.

"Send a copy of all the evidence and videos to Alexia Harper. Also, arrange for Jeremy to stay by Declan Jahn's in the lock-up. Although this person is not important, since I promised to protect his lowly life, I can't go back on my word." "Sure." After June ended the call, she proceeded to carry out the instructions.

Tiffany lay on the big bed in her bedroom and massaged the spot between her eyebrows.

Even now, Melody's words before she was taken away still echoed in Tiffany's mind.

That woman had said wordlessly. "Even if the evidence is conclusive, I won't be convicted. Do you know why?" Since Melody dared to make such a provocative statement so confidently, it meant that she had the required trump cards and backing Was Kenneth Harper's blind protectiveness the only thing giving her so much confidence? It should be far more than that.

Tiffany frowned. She could not grasp the deeper meaning behind those words.

Yet vaguely, she had a bad feeling...

Perhaps she was thinking too much.

She shook her head and told herself to stop thinking about it.

The next day was the long-awaited Halloween The Kelley family members had always liked festive celebrations. Early in the morning, not only did they distribute pumpkin pies and other goodies to the drivers and servants at home, but they also allowed the staff to take a day off so that they could go hand celebrate with their respective families.

Since there was no servant to cook for them, what would the family eat? Charlie Kelley patted his chest and said, "Ill cook! Il personally cook for all of you!" Charlie had gone through much hardship when he was young. His culinary skills were honestly not bad.

Even though he lived like a prince for many years, after putting on an apron, he skillfully sorted and washed the vegetables. He no longer displayed the merciless decisiveness he was famed for in the business world. He was just a down-to-earth chef.

His wife Thalia helped out by his side. The couple chatted and laughed, and the huge villa was enveloped in a heartwarming atmosphere.

Charlie said as he kneaded the flour, “Honey, meatballs are your favorite, aren't they? You'll definitely like the ones I make for you!" "Yes, meatballs are indeed my favorite!" Thalia cast him a look of reproach. She then blurted out without thinking. I'm not the only one who likes it. Our Muffin likes it too...

Halfway through her sentence, both Thalia and her husband froze.

Thalia's eyes glazed over. While distracted, she accidentally nicked her hand as she sliced the cabbage. Gasp! Thalia recoiled from the pain.

She didn't know if it was because of the cut on her hand or the pain in her heart, but in the next second, tears fell.

Charlie's heart ached terribly when he saw the wound. He quickly located the first aid kit and chided Thalia as he applied the medicine, "Look at you. Why did you start thinking about this all of a sudden? You even cut your hand. You are so..." Thalia didn't say anything, but her tears wouldn't stop flowing.

Seeing this, Charlie could only comfort her. "Don't dwell on this anymore. It's all in the past. Anyway, we have a son and a daughter now. Everything is fine now, isn't it?" "How can I not dwell...

Thalia choked back her tears. "She's my flesh and blood after all. I worry about her dayht, wondering whether she's

We were unfortunate. It's not your fault. If anyone should be blamed, it's me." Eric Kelley cdownstairs and was about to take his new camera out to shoot spictures when he heard the sound of sobbing coming from the kitchen.

He was about to run to the kitchen when he heard his mother's choked voice.

Seventeen years ago, I lost her on the day of the Halloween. If she has grown up now, she must hatedeeply. I did not fulfill my duties to her..." Recalling the past always made one emotional Thalia did not notice the small figure at the corner. She was still immersed in her sorrowful memories.

Thalia had another daughter, but she was taken away on Halloween 17 years ago. There had been no news of her since then Thalia and Charlie spent 5 years searching. The girl was just one year old when she was secretly taken away. In the end, they were told that there was a high chance that the girl had died in the second year of her disappearance...

Thalia was wracked by self-blame, guilt, and grief. This was the reason she suffered from mental health problems for many years.

Charlie patted his wife's back and comforted her wordlessly.

This was a wound that could not be healed. No one could talk her out of her grief.

At the corner, Eric's eyes widened in disbelief.

What did these words mean? Could it be... he had a lost elder sister? No, he only had one elder sister. And he only wanted one elder sister.

Eric shuddered. His festive mood vanished and he tossed the camera that he loved so much on the floor.

He did not dare to think further. He immediately dashed out from the corner and asked with a grave expression, "Dad, Mom, what did you mean just now?"
