Chapter 476

Tiffany's mind raced. In a spontaneous move, she tiptoed and kissed Richard's lips. Blushing furiously, she quickly retreated, whispering, "I'm sorry for everything."

Richard was momentarily stunned. Joy filled his dark, cold eyes. He lowered his head and gently pinched her chin with his well-defined fingers. His voice was hoarse, his posture languid and suggestive. "It's not enough."

Before Tiffany could respond, her mouth was covered. The temperature in the large bedroom steadily rose. Finally, Richard stopped, hampered by his injury.

Tiffany gently pushed him away, her ears burning. "Wait… wait until you recover…"

Richard's deep eyes burned with an inextinguishable fire; his expression was unusually dark. He had been denied gratification for too long, yet he still restrained himself, even with Tiffany in his arms. Every kiss had been an excruciating test.

Tiffany blinked, suppressing a smile. Teasingly, she suggested, "Why don't… you go to the bathroom?"

Richard's face darkened further. He pulled her close and kissed her lips, a slightly punishing peck. His tone was domineering and fierce. "How dare you laugh? I'll teach you a lesson!"

Tiffany's face was crimson. "Hurry up and go!"

Richard rose and walked into the bathroom, a sour expression on his face. The sound of running water filled the room. Tiffany, amused yet worried, called out, "Be careful, don't hurt yourself again."

She imagined his expression and couldn't help but laugh again.

Ten minutes later, Richard emerged from a cold shower. His strong physique was impressive; Tiffany whistled involuntarily.

He wiped his wet hair and sat beside her. "Are you free tomorrow?"

Tiffany paused, but her smile didn't falter. "I'm not free. Exams are coming up, so I'm a little busy. What's up?"

"I wanted you to accompany me somewhere, but since you're not free, we'll do it another day."

"Okay," Tiffany agreed readily. At that moment, her phone buzzed. She glanced at the screen, pretending nothing had happened. Slowly, she said, "Your wound hasn't healed yet. You need to rest. Lie down."

"Okay." Richard lay down obediently, but his large hand still held hers. "Don't go. Stay with me."

"Alright, I'll stay here and watch over you. Go to sleep." Tiffany lay beside the bed and waited patiently.

Richard finally fell asleep half an hour later. His profile was handsome and flawless—closed eyes, slightly pink lips, a jawline as smooth as a diamond. There were no imperfections. His usual cold, terrifying aura had vanished in his sleep; he looked gentler than usual.

Tiffany looked down at her hand, which he held tightly, refusing to let go. Carefully, afraid to wake him, she gently withdrew her hand. Fortunately, she succeeded without disturbing him.

Tiffany breathed a sigh of relief. Despite the expensive carpet, she quietly slipped out of Richard's bedroom and left Royal Bay.

The message was from June. After leaving Royal Bay, Tiffany took a taxi to Miracle Healer.

"What did you find?" she asked.

"Miss Kelley, that's all for now," June replied, sending a document. Tiffany saw it contained little information, only a few details about Felix.

June asked, "Miss Kelley, what do you plan to do next?"

Tiffany said, "Gather everyone at the training camp. Tomorrow, follow me quietly and attack Felix when the time is right. Remember, he's very cunning. It's okay to fail, but you must not let him discover any traces."

"Yes, Miss Kelley."

"By the way, take out all the poison powder available in Miracle Healer and give it to the people in the training camp. Tell them that if they fail tomorrow's mission, they have to withdraw. No one is allowed to stay."

She knew firsthand how terrifying Felix's methods were. If the plan failed tomorrow, she didn't want to lose her staff's lives.

June hesitated. "Miss Kelley… but you…"

"It's settled then." Tiffany patted June's shoulder reassuringly, showing her the switchblade at her side. "Don't worry. I can protect myself."

"Okay." June nodded and sighed. "If only Jeremy were here. He's so good at fighting. Maybe we could have a better chance of winning."

Tiffany touched the small diamond pendant around her neck; it was slightly cold. She laughed silently.

The next morning, as Tiffany left after breakfast, a car, as expected, stopped at the entrance of Cedar Ridge Villa. Felix made no attempt to hide; his demeanor was ostentatious.

Tiffany glanced at it—a limited-edition luxury car worth tens of millions. Felix, dressed in a suit, sat calmly inside.

He was clearly dressed as a gentleman, but he looked like a scoundrel. The morning wind blew his black hair, and his handsome face seemed even more demonic in the sunlight.

Seeing Tiffany didn't immediately approach, Felix raised his head and looked at Cedar Ridge Villa with a faint smile. "Nice setup."

Tiffany snapped back to attention and got into the car. Felix raised his eyebrows, seemingly pleased.

"Drive," he said.

The driver was Lorenzo. Tiffany secretly memorized the route. Her pretty face hardened slightly as she asked expressionlessly, "Where are you taking me?"

Felix answered, "It's a very fun place."

Tiffany fell silent, thinking, That's like saying nothing! She turned away, too weary to press further.

The car drove away from Lovell City. Tiffany leaned against the back seat, her reaction surprisingly calm. Behind them, several cars followed at a distance, all seemingly ordinary vehicles.

Tiffany thought, Since Felix hasn't acted yet, he probably hasn't noticed… She breathed an almost imperceptible sigh of relief.

Music played softly in the car. Felix suddenly spoke, personally pouring a glass of wine for Tiffany. "Try this wine; see if you still like it."
