Chapter 316
Tiffany’s gaze was so sharp that it could bore into Melody’s heart
Melody hesitated for a moment. Thinking that it was impossible for Tiffany to have any evidence, she replied, “Why wouldn’t I dare? Don’t tell me you want to threaten me!”
“Then tell me,” Tiffany said.
“Last night, you called me to go up the mountain and made me fall into that pit. You were there yet you pretended you didn’t see me. If this isn’t intentional murder, what is?”
Melody was so angry that tears fell again. “Do you know that I almost died? How can you be so despicable!”
With so much ruckus, more and more people gathered around them.
Out of gratitude to Tiffany, the local villagers did not dare to say anything.
The rest of the staff of the charitable foundation were Tiffany’s people. Naturally, they wouldn’t say anything.
Only the Harper family’s drivers and servants looked at Tiffany differently. They whispered excitedly among themselves.
“Miss Kelley looks quite kind. How could she do such a thing?”
“Nothing is certain. You can’t judge a book by its cover!”
“If that’s true, she will go to jail for attempted murder!”
“I heard from Dr. Milne that Miss Princeton was bitten by snakes and almost died. It was so dangerous. If she hadn’t met Dr. Milne, even God Almighty wouldn’t be able to save her!”
With Melody crying her heart and claiming to be the victim of an attempted murder, it was easy to guess who people would believe.
At this juncture, those little kids leaped to Tiffany’s defense. “Don’t you dare say that about Tiffany! Tiffany would never do such a thing!”
Looking at this group of kids, Tiffany smiled faintly as she gently patted their heads.
Then, she looked at Melody and asked with an ambiguous expression, ‘Are you sure you don’t want to change your story? Are you sure I was the one who brought you up the mountain last night?”This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
How could Melody go back on her word with so many people watching?
She immediately nodded. ‘I know you won’t admit it, but I can guarantee that everything I said is the truth!”
To convince the crowd, she even raised her hand defiantly. “If I’m lying, may lightning strike me dead!”
It was all or nothing.
Tiffany beamed radiantly. “Alright then. I’ll fulfill your wish.”
With that, she retrieved her phone from her pocket and played an audio recording.
[Something terrible has happened Benny was playing in the mountain, but now he’s gone!]
It was blatantly clear to all that that was Melody’s voice, raw and unmodified.
Explained calify Last night, Melody personally came to look for the village chief, and I happened to record it. Because she said Benny was missing, I followed her up the mountain.
“In other words, she was the one who brought me up the mountain. Tiffany emphasized each word with a mocking smile. “Benny went missing?” someone asked.
Benny’s mother was present among the villagers who had gathered here. The simple-minded woman immediately denied it. “No, Benny went to bed early yesterday and didn’t go out!”
“Then here’s the problein. The child has never gone out. How did you find out about the child’s disappearance?” Tiffany asked Melody with a look of mock confusion.
Everyone turned to look at Melody, including Kenneth.
Melody’s expression changed drastically.
It never occurred to her that Tiffany would secretly record their exchange to protect herself.
In that case, Tiffany already knew about her plan from the start. Everything was just an act. She did not even touch Melody throughout the whole incident except to change the location of the flag.
That was how Melody fell into the trap instead of Tiffany. Thus, she could easily eliminated without Tiffany dirtying her hands.
What a devious scheme!
Melody had never been so flustered before.
Under the gazes of so many people, she explained stiffly, “I heard from the other children that Benny hasn’t gone home. I didn’t think too much about it and went to look for him.”
“Well, the other children are here. You can check with them and see which child said that
As soon as Tiffany said that, the children present immediately shook their heads. “We didn’t say those words!” Tiffany continued, “When I went up the mountain with you last night, did I push you into the pit? Did I touch you?” Melody’s face was ashen as she bit her lip.
It was true Tiffany did not touch her last night. On the contrary, it was Melody who wanted to push Tiffany but She accidentally stepped into the concealed pit. Not surprisingly, she couldn’t say so.
“With regard to your claim that I did not help you, you vanished when I turned around. I was frightened of being alone on the mountain. What’s wrong with me coming down first?”
Tiffany’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “Brains are good. Unfortunately, you don’t have any.”
With that, she returned to the farmhouse without looking back
Zoe decided to rub it in. “Did you hear that? Brains are good. Unfortunately, you don’t have any.”
After saying that, she still did not feel vindicated. She then looked at Kenneth and scolded, “And you should donate your
eyes to those who need them as soon as possible. Hmph!”
In the front yard with a big crowd of people, there was dead silence.
In particular, the Harper group members who were condemning Tiffany vociferously earlier had fallen silent. Their expressions were very odd, and they did not know what to think
Melody stood rooted to the ground. The next second, she fainted from anger.
Kenneth carried her away and summoned his private doctor to examine her. After making sure that there were no other problems, he was relieved.
After a while, Melody woke up.
The first thing she did was to grab Kenneth’s arm tightly and cry out, “Tiffany’s lying. She’s lying. The truth is not like that at all!”
Kenneth lowered his eyes. For the first time, he was indifferent to Melody.
He felt extremely conflicted now.
He believed everything Tiffany said, but there was still one question he did not ask.
When he was looking for Melody and was at the village chief’s house last night, he asked Tiffany if she had seen Melody. Tiffany answered, “No.”
Which was the truth and which were lies?
He was tired of guessing and could no longer tell who was lying to him
“Kenny, do you not believe me?” When she saw that he did not speak for a long time, tears streamed down Melody’s face. “Anyone can choose not to believe me, but you can’t! If everything was really as Tiffany Kelley said, would I risk my life for
“I almost died there. Would I use my life to crack such an absurd joke?”
She cried piteously, like a child who had been wronged by everyone.
Kenneth could not help but sigh. In the end, he held her hand and said earnestly, “I don’t want to probe anymore. Let this matter pass, okay! We’ll be fine in the future.
This was his promise to Melody.
Melody hesitated for a moment. Then she nodded with tears in her eyes. “Alright, I’ll let it go. We’ll be fine from now on and never be separated…”
However, she could never swallow this.
