Chapter 272
Melody stared at Felicia with a worried expression.
She reminded, “But Kenneth said that without evidence, it’s better not to wrong someone innocent….
Felicia interrupted, “Innocent?”
She sneered before continuing. “Innocent? The Kelley family? They’re the reason my daughter was kidnapped, and those awful pictures were taken of her… In short, the Kelley family has completely ruined the Harper family’s reputation! We can’t let this slide just like that!”
Melody said, “But Mrs. Harper…”
Melody appeared concerned, but a brief, triumphant glint crossed her eyes.
She thought to herself, ‘It’s good that they can’t let this slide. They should make a scene, the bigger the better! They should utterly destroy the Kelley family and make sure Tiffany shoulders the full responsibility!”
Meanwhile, at the Luna Villa.
Tiffany was about to leave with Jeremy when a black luxury car worth millions came to a stop at the entrance of Luna Villa. The car’s flowing and elegant lines, understated yet luxurious, all spoke of its owner’s noble status.
The car door swung open and a graceful leg stepped out first. Soon after, an exceptionally handsome man, regal and divine in his demeanor, slowly stepped out of the car
In his presence, even the stars seemed less dazzling.
Tiffany was stunned for a moment before she threw herself toward him
“I’m so miserable!” Tiffany wailed.
Her voice was full of grievance, but not a single tear fell from her eyes, making Richard both amused and exasperated.
Richard could not help but reach out to pinch her cheek and ask with a laugh, “Shall I help you get back at them?”
“No need.”
Tiffany pretended to sob, saying, “People always say that the loudest complainers get what they want, so I figured I’d test that theory.”
When Richard noticed the fleeting mischievous glint in Tiffany’s eyes, his smile deepened. He pulled her into his arms and leaned toward her.
“You can have anything you want. I’d even give you my life, he whispered. Richard’s voice was enchanting and smooth, resonating in a delightful manner.
The way he spoke held a flirtatious undertone, stirring one’s imagination.
Tiffany could not help but smile, her heart overflowing with sweetness as rich as honey. It felt good to have someone trust her wholeheartedly.
“Alright, I’ll let you get on with your work. I can handle this matter myself
As Tiffany said that, she freed herself from Richard’s embrace, her smile both endearing and sweet. Her strikingly beautiful face resembled that of an enchanting spirit, evoking feelings within one making one want to tuck her away out of sight.
Richard stared at her deeply. At that moment, he had only one thought.
‘How I wish I could just tuck her away in my pocket!”
But two seconds later, he still let go of Tiffany’s hand, allowing lier to run off as she wished.
Tiffany left with Jeremy.
After watching Tiffany get into the car and leave, Richard returned to his car.
In the front passenger seat, Tyrone adjusted his glasses and said respectfully, “The Harper family has issued a statement announcing that they will no longer be cooperating with the Kelley family.
“Currently, the Kelley Group is facing a significant drop in stock prices, with many previous collaborations being canceled. If this continues, the Kelley Group will probably be thrust into the eye of the storm
The Harper family was indeed ruthless.
John, who was driving, could not help but click his tongue. “The Harper family is simply shameless, rushing to suppress the Kelley family without any evidence. They must have been planning this for a long time!”
After John finished complaining, he asked, “Do we need to do anything. Mr. Hampton?”
Richard sat in the spacious and luxurious backseat, his coldly handsome face showing a flicker of a smile that felt distant and ⚫ devoid of warmth, only exuding an air of chill and menace.
The atmosphere in the car instantly turned cold.
John and Tyrone shuddered.
Following that, a low voice was heard, speaking slowly and deliberately, filled with an unsettling chill.
Richard said, “Pass along my order and make it clear to everyone I won’t tolerate another derogatory word about Tiffany.
“And also, since the Harper family is so capable, then let’s clip their wings.”
No matter who it was, they had to pay the price for bullying Tiffany!
John and Tyrone immediately nodded respectfully.
“Yes, Mr. Hampton!”
Thus, the winds of Lovell City changed twice in a single day.
The Harper family first severed all connections with the Kelley family, even hinting at possible blacklisting and repression.
Watching the situation unfold, everyone chose to lean on the Harper family as their stronghold.
Inevitably, the Kelley family became the target of public outrage.
Charlie was extremely busy.
He knew that many people were waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

Charlie was extremely busy.
He knew that many people were waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
To everyone’s surprise, at this critical juncture, it was revealed that the Harper family had been involved in tax evasion.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
As the head of the company. Ryan was accused of tax evasion, facing not only hefty fines but possibly even jail time.
In just one day, the winds changed twice.
Many of those who had previously slandered the Kelley family, whether they were business moguls or prestigious families, suddenly received a warning letter overnight.
Charlie did not have to worry for long before everything was resolved.
The Kelley Group saw the return of its former partners, along with the addition of many new collaborator them were
trying their best to please the Kelley Group.
Charlie wondered what was going on.
After years of navigating the business world, Charlie was well aware that only one person had the ability to change the tide and suppress the Harper family.
That was the business mogul who stood at the pinnacle of success, a figure of immense wealth and power who made countless people tremble in fear and bow down in submission!
Richard!
Tiffany had also heard about what happened in the business world.
Richard’s actions came as no surprise to her.
However, Tiffany did not expect that for her sake, Richard would disregard his relationship with the Harper family and send Ryan to jail!
She felt that Richard was incredibly attractive when he was being so protective!
Tiffany could not help but laugh.
At this moment, the car had already stopped.
The first thing Tiffany saw was a breakfast shop.
The breakfast shop, normally thriving with business, had its doors shut, while a group of elderly men stood nearby, casually chatting during their morning stroll.
“The owners of this shop are so pitiful. The daughter they raised painstakingly is gone just like that…”
Jade’s parents owned this shop.
Tiffany sat in the car with a gloomy look.
She could not figure out who had done this to Jade.
Was it done by those thugs who kidnapped Alexia? Or was someone else behind it?” she pondered.
Seeing her frown, Jeremy asked, ‘Do you want to get out of the car?”
“No, keep driving, Tiffany said.
10 minutes later, they arrived at a very old resident
From afar, the sound of crying reached her ears, hoarse and desperate.
Amid the mournful music, the black drapes fluttered in the wind, casting a somber atmosphere..
Tiffany looked over from a distance, wanting to approach, but thinking about how she had become the primary suspect, she decided against complicating things further.
She simply turned her head away and said, “Let’s go.”
Jeremy drove away.
After they drove far away, Tiffany suddenly added. “Donate 100 thousand dollars to the Payne family anonymously.”
“Okay”
Jeremy agreed and continued, “This has nothing to do with you. You don’t have to blame yourself, nor do you have to feel guilty.”
I know,” Tiffany said.
She sighed.
“Let’s go to Creek Lane, the alley where the accident happened, Tiffany said
