Chapter 338
Melody didn't say that she self-harmed because she knew Thalia would feel sorry for her. Making Thalia believe Tiffany had splashed hot soup on her led Thalia to slap Tiffany. Melody was sure Thalia wouldn't abandon her, her biological daughter, in danger. Moreover, Melody wasn't a fool; she wouldn't seriously injure herself. At most, she'd put on a realistic show.
Yvonne asked, "Tell me, what exactly do you plan to do?" Running her fingers through her hair, Yvonne added, "But let me make this clear: I can only help you secretly. I can't be exposed publicly. If Tiffany found out I was pretending to be compliant while secretly disobeying, I'd be in terrible trouble." Yvonne couldn't take that risk.
"Sure," Melody agreed immediately. "I'm very grateful for your help. How about this? I'll go to the Kelley family's place tomorrow night and take advantage of…" She whispered into Yvonne's ear. A plan to fake an accident gradually took shape.
It was late at night. Tiffany sat on her bed, typing on her laptop. Abbie appeared in a video call. Since Abbie's comeback, despite clearing her name, some people continued to smear her; any news about her was exaggerated and spun negatively. Tiffany smiled as she wrote the script. "Abbie, have you been quite lucky with men recently?"
Abbie's scandals had spread like wildfire. Paparazzi photos of her and a younger man entering a hotel fueled the scandal: "[Movie Queen Seen with Young Hot Guy at Night. Sleeping Around After Comeback?]" Although the title included a question mark, it was incredibly intriguing. Numerous random scandals claiming Abbie was sleeping around suddenly appeared.
Hearing Tiffany's teasing, Abbie immediately raised her hand. "I swear I didn't do this!" she thought, "It's that guy who's been bothering me! I clearly rejected him, but he shamelessly clings to me. The company's PR team has been working hard for days to fix my scandals."

"As the news spreads, it becomes more well-known. Tiffany's the boss. Even if she no longer interferes in StarRise Entertainment's matters, she'll despise me seeing these scandals about her artist, right?" Abbie became listless.
Tiffany paused typing. Looking at Abbie's face in the video call, she smiled. "Just focus on filming. Ignore public opinion."
Abbie nodded and asked, "It's been a while. How have you been recently?"
Tiffany answered, "I've been doing great." As she spoke, she saw the curtains move. Her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly said, "Good night. I have something to do, so I have to hang up now." Before Abbie could respond, Tiffany closed the laptop. A breeze blew in from the window. Richard had climbed in to see Tiffany again.
His tall figure appeared in Tiffany's spacious bedroom, accompanied by his sharp scent and noble, calm aura. Every move was naturally elegant. Tiffany rubbed her nose. Her room was large, but with Richard present, it felt cramped. His refreshing scent filled her senses. Richard walked toward her, his eyes fixed on her. Under his gaze, Tiffany felt a chill. She'd unbuttoned two buttons of her pajamas after showering; she looked down to find her fair skin exposed. Tiffany's face burned, and she quickly buttoned her pajamas. Richard had already looked away. The bedroom atmosphere was ambiguous.
After a long while, she said, "I heard from John you might be going on another business trip in the next two days."
"Yeah," Richard responded, sitting beside her bed. "I have a huge collaboration project to discuss, so I have to go personally." He sounded like a husband reporting to his wife.
Tiffany nodded, not daring to comment. She merely said, "I see."
Unexpectedly, he smiled and leaned closer. His charming voice, low and pleasant, sounded in her ears. "It takes money to get married. I have to work hard to save up for wedding gifts."
Tiffany was speechless, her heart beating wildly.

In terms of wealth, Richard far surpassed any other man. He was so wealthy and noble, incomparable. In terms of power and status, he was like an emperor. He was swift, decisive, and ruthless.
Tiffany was stunned. Before she could react, she heard Richard whisper, "When I come back, marry me, okay?"
Tiffany said nothing. Richard's words stunned her; she was so shocked her heart beat wildly, and she forgot to react. She'd never thought of getting married. The mistakes of her past life made her hesitant to err in this one. Only facing him did she want to take a risk for the first time. However, she wasn't fully prepared. She blushed and could only say, "It's too… too soon."
"Then we'll get engaged," Richard said, his words unquestionable. Before she could refuse, he gave her a domineering, passionate kiss. The warmth faded, and the tall figure disappeared. He didn't give her a chance to refuse.
Tiffany blinked and buried her burning face under the blanket. The evening breeze blew gently.
After Richard left Cedar Ridge Villa, he sat in his car by the roadside. His good mood was evident as he instructed John to drive, smiling. John snickered; Richard clearly got what he wanted.
Richard instructed, "Let's go." The black car started slowly. Richard sat in the back seat. His handsome face was hidden in the darkness, his expression unclear. Only the gentleness in his smiling eyes gradually faded, replaced by cruelty. The car headed east—not to the airport, not on a business trip. He was going to eliminate those who had threatened Tiffany.
Two hours later, the car stopped in front of an ancient castle in the eastern suburbs. John's expression returned to normal. He opened the car door and nodded. "Richard, this is the place."

On the death list with Tiffany's name, Felix had…[Incomplete sentence. The original text is nonsensical here and requires further information to complete.] This was a hidden threat to Tiffany. Now, Richard was going to eliminate those threats.
