Chapter 209
The taxi was about to drive away when a car suddenly came from behind. Tiffany turned around and saw that it was one of Richard’s subordinates. John got out of the car and knocked on her door. “Miss Kelley.”
“You?” Tiffany subconsciously looked into John’s car, hoping to see a certain someone in there.
Meanwhile, John explained, “I was ordered to send you back.”
“I see, thank you.” She opened the door, and Tiffany carefully got into John’s car with his help.
The wound on her leg was still hurting. She did not take any painkillers or medicines, so her wound was recovering sluggishly. Therefore, she was no different from an ordinary person.
After Tiffany got into the car, John put the two crutches away. He wanted to send her home, but Tiffany said, “Send me back to school.”
“Okay.” John had no objections.
Soon, the black car disappeared into the morning mist. Richard hid behind the thin bay window. He watched as John helped Tiffany enter his sedan. Richard only turned around when Tiffany and John were out of sight. His picturesque eyes were cold and lifeless. There was no warmth to speak of.
Seeing Richard’s state, the other servants looked at each other and quietly left. No one dared to disturb him at that time.
At that moment, soothing music was playing in the car. Tiffany looked at the scenery outside and heard John say, “Miss
Kelley, actually…”
He wanted to say something but hesitated. Seeing this, Tiffany was curious. She could not help but tease, “Are you trying to say Mr. Hampton is a straightforward person? He looks unreasonable but gentle?”
John had said before, so Tiffany already knew. He nodded and replied frankly, “Yes, just like I send Miss Kelley home right now, it was Mr. Hampton’s order.” He tried to make it sound as nice as possible because he tried to break the ice between them.
Tiffany smiled without saying anything. Based on her understanding of Richard, he would never order his men to do such a thing. At most, they would only help her walk down the stairs.
After thinking briefly, Tiffany remembered something and asked, “Anyway, how are the assassins?” Since Richard had taken those people away, she believed he would investigate the person behind her assassination attempt. Even if it wasn’t for her, he had to do it for Kenneth’s safety.
John replied, “We’ve managed to dig some clues. Those assassins weren’t from Lovell City, so we can’t find the person behind them yet. However, there’s one thing we can be sure of.”NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
“What?”
“The mastermind is very well hidden, and… thier background can’t be underestimated.”
Hearing this, Tiffany was stunned. She didn’t feel like she had offended an influential figure. She thought Sandra hired them. If not, the Booth or the Lee Family might hire them.
But when Tiffany thought about it again, she felt something was off. After all, the Booth family was not rich or powerful. It was difficult to find an assassin of that level. This was not something that could be settled with money alone.
On the other hand, the Lee Family was in shambles. The property that Conner had painstakingly built was sold. He was tricked and the land was taken from him. He had to face an astronomical penalty. They had no time of resources to hire such expert assassins. It was already good enough that Conner could hold on and not go bankrupt,
Tiffany thought for a moment and a person suddenly appeared in her mind. She immediately asked, “John, is the mastermind you mentioned from Traron?”
The only people who could hate her so deeply were probably the Ashton Family, one of the four prominent families in Traron City. She had taught their daughter a lesson several times, so it made sense that they wanted to stand up for her.
However, John shook his head. “I’ve checked. It’s not them.”
“What?”
Tiffany leaned back in her seat with a frown. “If it’s not them, it must be one of the other three prominent families.” She had followed Philip to Traron City before, so the news of her taking over Whispering Winds would more or less be spread. In that case, there were indeed many people who wanted to kill her
Seeing Tiffany manage to guess so quickly, John praised, “Miss Kelley, you’re as sharp as I thought.”
After a pause, he did not forget to bring Richard into the conversation. “Miss Kelley, don’t you worry. With Mr. Hampton around, this assassination attempt won’t happen again.”
Hearing his words, Tiffany smiled. “Then thank him for me when you get back.”
“Will do.”
Soon, the car stopped in front of the school. Tiffany got out of the car and turned around. “Thank you, John.”
After that, she turned to the school.
Many were passing by, and it was not strange to see Tiffany getting out of the car. However, she got out of the Hampton Family’s car. In an instant, discussions broke out. “Hey, look at the license plate number. It looks familiar.”
“That’s right. That is the Hampton family’s car. Did you see that? That unique logo on the side can’t be wrong!”
“Tiffany got out of the Hampton family’s car. Wha
