Her Story: Rise Of Tiffany novel Chapter 194

Chapter 194
It was as if the color that had just faded was now being restored. The doctor, an older man, saw the change in her bruise and sighed inwardly. He initially wanted to say something earlier, but Melody interrupted. Now, he shook his head, recognizing that young people could be impressive.
A few minutes later, when Kenneth entered, he noticed that Melody’s injury seemed to have worsened compared to before. He furrowed his brow, about to ask the doctor if there had been a misdiagnosis, wondering how it could be so severe while the doctor claimed it was nothing.
However, before he could speak, Melody reached out and stopped him. She smiled and said, “The bruise will be fine once massaged. It’s my fault for being careless and bumping it like this.”
Kenneth remained silent, but the furrow in his brow showed no signs of easing. He thought, ‘If it weren’t for Tiffany’s aggressiveness, Melody wouldn’t have injured herself. Yet, she only acknowledges her faults without placing any blame on others. How can there be such a stark difference between people?’ The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
Meanwhile, Zoe and Ged were furious in the classroom after hearing about the incident. “How can she be audacious to touch someone else’s belongings and still feel justified? What kind of relationship do they have? They aren’t even close. Why does she act like she owns the place?” Zoe said.
“Exactly!” Ged nodded emphatically. “How is it any different from kidnapping when she doesn’t consider someone else’s feelings? And then she ends up playing the victim? I’m speechless! As for that, Mr. Harper, I advise him to donate his eyes to someone in need.”
Besides Tiffany, Ged was the only one in the class bold enough to confront Kenneth openly, regardless of whether Kenneth was present. Even if it meant pointing a finger at him and cursing him directly, Ged felt no fear.
Tiffany felt a faint warmth in her heart as she listened. After all, at least some people shared her likes and dislikes. She smiled and said, “Alright, just ignore the people you don’t like. No need to say more; it’s not worth it.”
Once Tiffany spoke up, the two finally fell silent, though their anger remained. They didn’t express it outwardly, but they continued to grumble inwardly.
Perhaps the conflict from today intensified Kenneth’s dislike for Tiffany. In the following days, he and Melody spent time together, eating and going in and out as a pair. Melody no longer tried to engage Tiffany but occasionally glanced at her with a look of regret and guilt, as if she wanted to seek forgiveness but didn’t want to make things awkward.
It made Zoe grind her teeth in frustration. Tiffany wrapped her arm around her and said, “Haven’t you always wanted to meet your idol? How about I take you to see her today?”
Today was Friday, and they could still make it to Abbie’s last filming scene.
“Really?” Zoe’s attention was instantly captured, and she nodded enthusiastically in agreement.
The two got into the car and went to the newly opened film studio in Lovell City. “Dreams of Rising” had officially started production, and the secrecy measures were well enforced.
Before the filming began, everyone in the crew had to surrender their phones to prevent leaks or spoilers. With such tight security, there were no online news or behind-the-scenes photos. While the scenes were being filmed, the area was completely sealed off, making it impossible for unauthorized personnel to get anywhere near.
When Zoe arrived, she nervously asked, “Tiffany, you’re not planning to sneak in with me, are you?”
“What are you thinking?” Tiffany laughed as she glanced at her and said, “We’re just going to walk in openly.”
“But… is that allowed? Won’t we get kicked out?” Zoe said, feeling increasingly anxious along the way.

Tiffany, however, remained calm and collected, approaching with a graceful stride and surveying her domain. Zoe braced herself as they reached the perimeter, expecting to be stopped. To her surprise, a staff member politely greeted, “Hello, Miss. Kelley,” and opened the barrier for them.
She thought, ‘Did we get in so smoothly?’ Zoe felt a bit dizzy.
However, before she could overthink, Tiffany tilted her chin and gestured, “See? It’s right up ahead.”
Abbie was performing a scene involving a car accident without a stunt double 65 feet away. This dangerous shot had to be done by her efforts. Of course, to ensure safety and the effect of being knocked over later, the scene required a harness for safety.
They arrived at just the right moment to see a black car racing toward Abbie. She was suddenly struck, her body propelled into the air before crashing to the ground. Blood began to seep out as she lay there, her eyes reflecting shock and disbelief, slowly losing focus.
“Cut!” Oliver exclaimed with satisfaction, having achieved a perfect take in one go. He couldn’t help but appreciate how enjoyable it was to work with such a talented actress.
If Oliver had any lingering dissatisfaction before, it had vanished entirely, replaced by admiration and respect for Abbie.
It was Zoe’s first time witnessing a live shoot, particularly one that was so thrilling and intense. Just moments before, she had nearly screamed in fright, but she managed to hold it in.
Tiffany chuckled and patted Zoe on the shoulder before striding forward. When Oliver saw her approach, he greeted her with a smile and then leaned in to speak quietly, “You made the right choice,” referring to the casting decision.
At first, he had his eye on a very talented newcomer, but unfortunately, they lacked the control needed for the role, so they didn’t pass the audition. Now, Abbie ultimately won over him.
Tiffany smiled and leaned in, lowering her voice to ask, “I’m working on a script. Could you help me get an introduction if you know any directors?”
“Of course!” Oliver readily agreed.
Tiffany then walked over to Abbie’s trailer, which she had arranged for her. Even though Abbie had once been a top actress, she was now overlooked and had to settle for a position typically given to newcomers.
However, Tiffany insisted that the company arrange for Abbie according to the standards of a top actress. The meaning was clear: she never shortchanged her people, often being more generous than anyone would be. As a result, everyone at StarRise Entertainment was well aware of how much Tiffany valued Abbie.
Nevaeh was in the trailer with Abbie, helping her remove makeup and change clothes. The blood in the earlier scene looked frightening, so they needed to address it immediately after the shoot. When she saw Tiffany personally come to visit, Nevaeh was both surprised and delighted. She quickly stood up to greet Tiffany. “Bo-”
She was mindful of the outsiders and the assistant nearby, so she had to change her words. “Miss Kelley, you’re here! Come on, have a seat!” The distinction was significant. The assistant nearby assumed this was a prominent figure in the company and didn’t think to look higher up, so they followed suit and greeted her with a polite “Hello, Miss Kelley.”
Tiffany got into the car but turned to find that Zoe still hadn’t come up. She said to Abbie, who had just finished changing, “There’s a little fan of yours below.”
Since Tiffany personally brought her over, how could Abbie treat Zoe as just a little fan? She exited the car to invite her up, only to bump into Zoe, who was peeking in curiously.
“Abbie… Abbie Hopkins?” Zoe stammered.
