Chapter 467
Richard looked at Sidney disdainfully. He had a mysterious expression. During the few days he was asleep, it was as if he had a very, very long dream. In his dream, a voice kept telling him that he was tired and should rest.
His eyelids were heavy. Even though he wanted to wake up many times, his injuries were too serious. He was unable to gather the strength to wake up. He thought that he was going to die.
However, just yesterday, he felt something protecting his heart. It carried an unprecedented warmth, as if he was soaking in hot spring water. That comfortable feeling spread throughout his limbs and bones.
Then, the feeling of being controlled disappeared. He opened his eyes gently and woke up. He could not tell what this strange feeling was, but it was definitely not because of that small pill.
Speaking of this, Richard was reminded of the girl who was placed in Royal Bay early this morning. He would make whoever let her in suffer. Sidney was still pondering over Richard’s words when he suddenly received a deadly stare.
He asked, “What… what did I do wrong?”
His heart skipped a beat, and he broke out in cold sweat.
Richard said, “Go and receive your punishment of 50 whippings.
“You are so fucking heartless!” Sidney was just about to complain when Richard’s cold gaze landed on him.
Before Richard doubled the punishment, Sidney immediately agreed. “I’ll go, I’ll go!”
The office door opened and closed. All the sounds disappeared.
Richard stood in front of the floor–to–ceiling window on the top floor and looked in the direction of the Cedar Ridge Villa.
He had gotten his men to remove all the posts online. He had taught all those who had suppressed the Kelley Group a lesson. Even those who had thrown trash and rocks at Cedar Ridge Villa had been found and crippled.
He was well aware of John’s worries.
But no one knew that Richard was willing to give his life to her if Tiffany really wanted it.
But before that, Richard would drag her back even if he had to die for it.

Tiffany suddenly sneezed.
It was cold in late autumn.
Tiffany snuggled in the back seat and wrapped her coat tightly around her.
Seeing this, June turned on the heater.
The car drove forward and finally stopped at the entrance of Cedar Ridge Villa.
Before getting out of the car, Tiffany instructed, “June, use this time to buy back all the shares that the Saintess of Azure Sea Royal Family bought.”
Previously, Morwen had tried to control the Kelley family by taking all of its shares.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
However, she did not expect to suffer a setback at Owen.
Even though she did everything she could, she could not buy the shares in Owen’s hands.
This way, she would not be able to control the Kelley family with the 40% shares she had.
Now, the Kelley family’s shares had plummeted, and those shares had become worthless. Morwen had no use for them, so Tiffany felt that she would definitely sell them.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, she had to take everything back.
“Don’t worry, Miss Kelley. I’ll take care of this matter.” June nodded and agreed. She was also a little surprised.
She did not expect Tiffany to think of this under such circumstances.
“Then I’m leaving.” Tiffany got out of the car and walked towards Cedar Ridge Villa at a moderate speed.
From the outside, she could tell that the plants and flowers in the villa had been damaged to varying degrees. There was even some indistinguishable trash on the ground.
When she looked up, she saw that even the window in front of her had a few spiderweb–like cracks.
Tiffany lowered her eyes and roughly understood what had happened at home.
She put on a nonchalant smile and rang the doorbell.
A servant came out with a broom. It looked like she was going to fight someone. When she saw that it was Tiffany, she was surprised and happy. “Miss Kelley, you are back. That’s great!”
The servant threw the broom aside and hurriedly opened the iron door to let Tiffany in.
“Let’s go. Miss Kelley, come in quickly. There might be some bad people hiding outside. You can’t stay outside for long,” the servant said as she closed the door. Halfway through, she realized that she had said something wrong and immediately covered her mouth.
Tiffany smiled and did not ask further.
She walked into the villa and felt that everything looked the same.
She had only been away for three days, but it felt like a long time.
Hearing the servant’s shout, Thalia hurriedly came down from upstairs and asked, “My daughter is back?”
Thalia was surprised and delighted, but when she saw the wound on Tiffany’s face, she immediately widened her eyes and asked, “What’s going on? Which bastard hurt
Thalia cursed for the first time.
Tiffany smiled. “Mom, don’t wo
I accidentally fell down the stairs. I’ll be fine in a few days.”
Thalia asked, “How painful it be to have such a deep wound!”
“It doesn’t hurt. I am beautiful. Even if my face is injured, I can still charm a lot of people.” Tiffany had always been narcissistic. She did not even blush when she said these words.
Thalia was amused by her. “Cheeky!”
They sat down on the sofa.
Tiffany felt a little upset when she saw how serious the situation at home was. “Mom, I’m sorry to have implicated you.”
“What are you talking about?” Thalia patted her hand. Her eyes were filled with heartache. “These are all unimportant matters. Your father and I are most worried about you.”
Regarding what happened on the day of the engagement party, Thalia and Charlie Kelley had no impression of it.
Their memories were still stuck on when they woke up early and prepared to go to the hotel on the day engagement party. They learned what happened after that from others.
However, people only knew a portion of what happened.
Charlie thought that he had drunk too much and backed out. He could only use such a reason to forcefully explain the problem of his loss of memory.
However, Thalia was sensitive. She noticed something that was amiss.
She immediately asked, “Tiffany, tell me the truth. What happened on the day of the engagement party? Did you accidentally stab Richard because of us?”
Tiffany was a little surprised, but she could not admit it.
It had already happened, and it could not be undone.
She felt that there was really no need to make her parents feel guilty.
She said, “It’s not that.”
Tiffany shook her head and gave a faint smile. She added, “There were some misunderstandings and conflicts. I made a mistake on impulse. It has nothing to do with you.”
“Is that so?” Thalia was suspicious.
She believed that Tiffany would not be such an impulsive person. Even though she had pursued Kenneth relentlessly in the past, she had never done anything bad.
Now that she had become much more mature than before, Thalia felt that Tiffany would not do that kind of thing.
The rumors said that Tiffanny almost killed Richard.
Thalia wanted to ask more, but she was interrupted by Tiffany softly. “Mom, it’s really fine. Don’t ask anymore. Otherwise, just thinking about it makes me feel terrible…”
