Her Story: Rise Of Tiffany novel Chapter 220

Chapter 220
Tiffany was apologizing for her past actions.
Between Jarnes and Richard, she had chosen the former, even going so far as to fight against Richard. That was something she truly regretted.
ut if given the chance to choose again, she would still save James, no matter the cost. The reason was simple. She owed James far too much
Watching Tiffany’s pleading expression, Richard was caught in a fierce internal struggle.
He had already resolved to respect her wishes, just as James had suggested. To avoid putting her in a difficult position, Richard knew he had to let go.
But the moment he saw her again, saw those pitiful eyes, his firm decision wavered violently.
Just then, Sidney had finished treating her wound and muttered in confusion, “That’s strange. This wound looks just like the one that Kelley girl had.”
He figured it couldn’t be a coincidence. There was no way two people who looked so similar could end up with identical injuries.
Sidney had treated Tiffany’s wound not long ago, and he could confirm without a doubt. It was the same gunshot wound.
He thought, ‘Is she Tiffany?’
Sidney looked up in shock but noticed the strange tension between Richard and Tiffany. He swallowed his astonishment and quietly retreated to the side.
After a long moment, it was Richard who broke the silence.
With a faint smile, he said with a hint of mockery, “I’m still going to kill James”
“I know,” Tiffany replied without surprise.
After a brief pause, she added, “And… I would still save him.”
She didn’t want to lie, so she told the truth.
Though they exchanged only a few sentences, it was as if nothing had changed.
Each was merely stating facts, yet the atmosphere grew even worse. It was a form of opposition.
Tiffany clenched her hands, feeling her heart sink. She had come to explain, to apologize, but things were only getting
messier.
Richard laughed, but his gaze was cold. His expression remained cold, and his intense gaze Tocked on her for a long moment before he looked away. He said casually, “You really think you can save him?”
If Richard truly wanted someone dead, he didn’t need permission or someone to stop him. He didn’t do it only because of
her.
Without another glance, Richard coldly instructed Sidney, “Take her home.”
Sidney sighed inwardly but extended his hand, gesturing toward the door. “Come on. Fll take you back.”
Tiffany stood up, limping toward the exit. As she passed Richard, she whispered in a voice so soft it was barely audible. Tm

sorry.
Apologies were powerless, but she couldn’t do anything else.
Richárd smirked. He suddenly gripped her chin with a devilish smile. His gaze, chilling and filled with malice, bore into her.
With their eyes locked, he said, “Tiffany, don’t come bothering me again.”
If he was going to let go, he needed to do it completely. Otherwise, he feared he wouldn’t be able to stop himself. He would throw aside all the blood feuds just to hold Tiffany in his arms
Tiffany felt a sharp pain in her heart as if a needle had pierced it
Forcing a faint smile, she agreed without hesitation. “Alright”
She would give him what he wanted.
As they left Royal Tower, Sidney helped Tiffany into his car.
He couldn’t help but remind her, “You really can’t let your wound get wet or aggravate it again. If it leaves any lasting damage, it won’t be a joke.”
“I know. Thank you, she replied.
“No problem, Sidney replied. As the car door closed, he started the vehicle slowly, asking, “Should I take you home? Or somewhere else?”
Tiffany said, “Take me back to school, please.”
Sidney replied, “It’s no trouble.”
Sidney was always a gentleman, especially when Richard had given him the order.
As Sidney thought back to the tense confrontation between Tiffany and Richard, he glanced at her through the rearview mirror and sighed.
He remarked, “Honestly… you haven’t fully admitted your real feelings yet, maybe even to yourself. If you opened up, things might be different.”
Tiffany had been sitting quietly with her head down, not paying much attention. But his words surprised her. “Admit what?”
Sidney’s gaze met hers in the mirror, filled with an almost unnerving insight. Then he asked, “You’ve already fallen for him, haven’t you?”
Tiffany froze, pondering if she had truly fallen for Richard.
Before traveling back in time, she had experienced love, only to have her heart shattered-beyond repair.
This time, she had cast aside all those thoughts, determined to protect her family and herself.
To say she had truly fallen in love again, that wasn’t quite true. However, she couldn’t fool herself by saying she hadn’t either. But it didn’t mailer.
Tiffany smiled faintly and replied softly, “No, it’s in the past.”
She wouldn’t go after Richard again. Even if she had felt something, she would extinguish it.

Chapter 220
Sidney let out a long sigh. People said the lookers-on could see most of the game, while the participants were blind. From where he stood, it was obvious
Sidney knew both of them had feelings for each other, but the situation had caused a huge rift between them.
Tiffany’s blade was pointed at Richard. Richard knew he’d get hurt but still took a step forward. Then, one feared causing more harm, and the other doubted themself, so they both retreated.
Sidney knew why Richard was angry. Not that Tiffany had honesly said she would continue to protect James. But rather, he believed that there was never a place for him in her heart.
Sidney sighed deeply and said no more. This was something they would have to figure out for themselves.
After about ten minutes, as they neared the school, Tiffany removed her mask and took off her makeup.
Her naturally stunning, ethereal beauty was immediately revealed.
Sidney was momentarily stunned, marveling at the mask’s craftsmanship. It was so thin and seamless that it perfectly matched her skin completely fooling the eye.
Before he could fully recover, Tiffany pulled a porcelain bottle from her bag and handed it to him. “This is for you,” she said.
It was full of medicine that could neutralize hundreds of poisons
She smiled, her radiant face glowing with charm. “A thank-you gift to cover the fare for driving me back to school
Sidney instinctively took it.
Tiffany got out of the car, limping as she headed into the school.
Watching her walk away, Sidney realized his task was done.
He then glanced down at the delicate porcelain bottle, playing with it for a while before opening it.
Inside were dozens of light golden pills, exuding an aura of purity and filling the car with a sweet medicinal fragrance.
This is… elixir?’ Sidney’s entire body tensed, and his hands began to shake slightly.
These elixirs were legendary, the life-saving medicines only the Miracle Healer could produce. They could neutralize any poison, rapidly heal wounds, and even keep someone on the brink of death alive. One pill alone was priceless!
In this one small porcelain bottle, there were ten pills. Sidney knew its value was immeasurable,
Sidney stared in shock at the distant figure of Tiffany, recalling the Miracle Healer’s youth and her flawless disguise and makeup removal skills…..
“Holy crap!” Even the usually composed Sidney couldn’t hide his astonishment.
He thought, Just how many layers of identity does Tiffany have?”
