Chapter 391
Richard understood Tiffany's thoughts, but he welcomed the "torture." They gazed at each other, oblivious to the world. Tiffany's smile was enchanting, Richard's aura commanding; together, they were breathtaking. Their presence was a beautiful painting, sparking envy and jealousy.
Those who had been smug were dumbfounded after witnessing their love. Many hadn't attended yesterday's magnificent proposal. Those who hadn't scoffed when others described it, disbelieving Mr. Hampton would stoop to such a public display. Yet, there he was, at their school, protectively surrounding Tiffany. The rumors were true; Tiffany was to become Mrs. Hampton.
Giana's heart burned with jealousy and fear. She had anonymously posted the scandalous school message, not writing it herself but obtaining it elsewhere. Her goal was to ruin Tiffany's reputation. She hadn't anticipated Tiffany's resilience. Instead of succumbing to anger, Tiffany calmly summoned bodyguards, escorted students to the principal's office, and confiscated their phones. Giana, fearing discovery of her undeleted post, slipped away.
She intended to retrieve and delete the evidence from the principal's office, but found another person there—a silver-haired man with striking features, more alluring than a woman. He smiled, a captivating smile that momentarily dazed Giana. His handsome face and refined bearing suggested wealth and power. He spoke her name, "Giana Waller?"
Giana blushed. "Howhow did you know?" She wondered if he had investigated her.

Giana nervously bit her lip, her heart pounding. Unexpectedly, the silver-haired man's smile vanished, replaced by a darkening expression. "How dare you post such a vile message to slander Tiffany?" Garry sneered. He had identified the anonymous poster and all those who had added obscene comments; none would escape.
Giana was stunned. She denied her involvement, but Garry merely snorted. Despair filled her heart.
Outside, Mrs. Worley, who had previously threatened Tiffany, now bowed, profusely apologizing. She begged for forgiveness, promising her son's apology and assuring it would never happen again. However, the Worley boy defiantly insisted he'd done nothing wrong, insulting Tiffany.
Silence descended before the boy was thrown against the wall, seriously injured. Richard, a terrifying figure radiating anger and menace, called for John, who immediately obeyed. Richard's chilling aura intimidated everyone present. Tiffany gently touched his hand, calming him. He smiled faintly, then led her away.
The school post was quickly suppressed. Giana was expelled and imprisoned for defamation; other offenders faced similar consequences. The Worley family's downfall was complete, sealed by their son's insolence. Richard's reputation ensured swift and decisive retribution. All negative news about Tiffany vanished.
Meanwhile, Alexia Harper remained smug. She had orchestrated the viral post, using paid actors and Photoshop. She anticipated Tiffany's panic and prepared to fan the flames. However, her computer was hacked, displaying a warning threatening to release her nude photos unless she ceased her actions. The warning's source was obvious, leaving Alexia terrified.
