Chapter 668
The receptionist told the first person, "Remember, you mustn't tell anyone else." That person promised, but immediately told another person. After revealing the gossip, they warned, "You must keep it a secret and not tell anyone." Ironically, the secret spread quickly. Within half an hour, all the Royal Tower employees knew. Their group chat exploded:
[All men make mistakes? I didn't expect Mr. Hampton to be any different.]
[I can't believe I envied Mrs. Hampton! Their wedding was so grand. I never expected Mr. Hampton would have a new lover so soon.]
[Although I'm jealous and angry, I have to admit his new lover is beautiful. She's elegant, stylish, and charming. What man wouldn't want her?]
[Didn't you notice she resembles Mrs. Hampton? Their figures and temperaments are similar. Mr. Hampton clearly has a type! Maybe we should learn from him?]
The news spread like wildfire. Many female employees felt sorry for Tiffany, but jealousy was rampant. Several anonymously exposed the affair on major social networks. To prove their claims, they posted unblurred screenshots of the new lover (in a tight-fitting dress) from security footage. Knowing the woman claimed to be from Miracle Healer, the receptionist added that detail to the post.
The anonymous post, complete with evidence, read:
[Shocking! Mr. Hampton brought his new lover to the Royal Tower. The mistress's identity has been exposed!]
The mistress's identity was soon revealed: the highly respected Miracle Healer. Many knew she'd saved Richard's nephew, possessing the ability to cure any poison and revive the dead. Were Richard and Miracle Healer dating even then? What about Tiffany, the real Mrs. Hampton?
[This is terrifying!]
[I'm shocked! Besides beauty, what does Tiffany have that kept Richard's heart?]
Chapter 668
[I'm not surprised. There's always an end to lust. Tiffany can't keep her position as Mrs. Hampton.]
Comments flooded in. The story went viral, with keywords related to Richard's infidelity topping the trending searches.
Kenneth's initial reaction was anger. He'd barely convinced himself to let go of Tiffany, the woman he both loved and felt guilty towards. He could accept his sadness and bless her happiness, even calling her "aunt." But this news… Richard had promised to protect Tiffany!
He angrily checked the trending topic. After reading the exposé, he gritted his teeth. He was about to condemn the mistress when he saw her identity: Miracle Healer. He was stunned.
Miracle Healer? Isn't that Tiffany? he thought.
Stunned, he clicked on the security photos. The high-definition image clearly showed Tiffany's face. He'd been tormented by her before knowing her identity.
He was dazed, unsure whether to laugh or be angry.
"So Tiffany's the vixen? Why was I even angry? This whole misunderstanding is ridiculous!"
A bitter laugh escaped him. He knew he'd never have a chance with her.
Some rejoiced, others mourned. Unlike the angry onlookers, Daisy laughed maniacally.
I knew it! Tiffany's been Mrs. Hampton for only a few days and she's already arrogant. Serves her right. She's an abandoned woman now.
Thrilled, she dropped her phone and chose a new outfit.
The mistress is average, just a better figure. I'm beautiful and have a great figure. If I get the chance to impress Richard, I can replace Tiffany and become Mrs. Hampton!
Chapter 669
Daisy happily hummed as she chose an outfit, but nothing seemed right. She complained to Jeffrey, "Dad, I have nothing to wear!"
Jeffrey had just returned from a coal mine development site, his mind preoccupied with a recent accident. A large rock had almost hit him. He couldn't believe it was an accident. What if it wasn't? I was lucky this time, but what about next time? he thought. He decided to investigate.
Daisy waited for a response, eventually pushing his shoulder. "Dad, are you listening?"
Her touch landed on his injured shoulder. The rock had grazed him, and despite treatment, the pain was intense.
Molly arrived home and rushed to support her father, scolding Daisy. "Can't you see he's hurt?"
Daisy interrupted, "Oh, I thought it was someone else. What are you doing home? You know how tough it is outside, so you shamelessly returned?"
Molly's face flushed with anger. "Don't you feel guilty? I almost" She couldn't bring herself to say "was tainted."
