Chapter 257
Even though he could wrap her in his wings and protect her in every way, that was no different from breaking her wings. Just in case, he had to be ruthless sometimes.
Tiffany was slightly stunned. Then, she gritted her teeth and made up her mind. “Okay.”
The last time she went out to paint, Tiffany risked everything and jumped into the lake under the bridge to avoid the
assassin’s attack.
That time, it was a close call. Fortunately, the lake was not deep. And the shore was all weeds and vines. After jumping down, she grabbed those plants and climbed ashore.
If it were a deeper river, she would have either been shot to death by the killer or drowned in the water. No one would be there to save her each time.
Taking a deep breath, Tiffany jumped into the pool, which was about 6.5 feet deep, and she would fall straight down.
Water poured into her nose, making her choke uncomfortably. She reached out to grab something to steady herself but found nothing. Her head was heavy, and she sank straight down.
In the pool, Tiffany’s face was red from holding it in. Fortunately, a strong arm reached out then and picked her up.
“Ah…” The moment she surfaced, Tiffany choked heavily. However, she could not care less about her ears filled with water. She clung onto Richard and refused to let go. “It’s too scary! Cough, cough, cough. I’m choking. No, I can’t go into the water anymore…”
Her eyes were red. She didn’t know if it was because she got choked in the water or felt wronged.
Seeing Tiffany giving up just like that, Richard didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “It was my fault just now. I’ll hold you up this time so you won’t choke on the water. Let’s try again, okay?”
“No!” Tiffany was about to cry. She had just drunk a few mouthfuls of water and felt terrible in her nose. Even her lungs were in pain.
Before Richard could say anything, the attractive Tiffany hanging on him turned on her coquettish and clingy mode. She hugged him and looked pitiful, “Richard, my dear, please carry me up.
“Please. I’m begging you…”
‘Who the fuck can say no to such a sexy woman with such a soft voice?‘ Richard thought, and his heart instantly softened.
He carried Tiffany to the shore. When she first came out of the water, it was still windy. Richard feared Tiffany would catch a cold, so he carried her back to her room.
“Take a hot bath before you go to bed.” After putting Tiffany down, Richard reminded her before turning around and leaving.
Looking at the closed door, Tiffany blinked in surprise and wondered, ‘Oh? Why is he in a hurry to leave this time? If it were any other time, wouldn’t he want to stay?‘
Before she could figure it out, she shivered from the cold. Tiffany shook her head and stopped thinking about it. She went straight into the bathroom to take a shower.
The servants had tidied up the room, sorted out, and put away the luggage she had brought. Skincare products were on the table, and clothes were hung in the wardrobe. It was convenient.
Tiffany didn’t know that while she was in her hot bath, someone had been bathing for over half an hour in another room.

That night, she had a good–sleep and no dreams.

On the other side of the forest, in the beautiful, brightly lit castle, Sandra returned to her room, exhausted.
In the past month, she had just recovered from her injuries when she was arranged to undergo training and various tests.
She knew very well that this was her last chance to survive, so she did not dare to slack off for a moment.
She had put in all her effort to make herself as outstanding as possible. At the same time, she wanted to be the most special in that man’s eyes.
Sandra rubbed her sore hands and walked to the window to look out.
She saw a man with a mysterious aura sitting quietly on the bench downstairs. He was in a black coat that almost blended into the night, but it still couldn’t hide his elegance and nobility.
His handsome and mesmerizing face had a charm that could make people fall for him, even if this man was terrifying, cruel, and cold–blooded. But he was also so charming.
Sandra could not help but be fascinated.
However, she saw the black cat on the man’s shoulder suddenly look toward her. Its eyes that glowed in the night were green and scary. Sandra exclaimed and immediately retreated.
The man’s warning was far away but seemed to ring in her ears. “If you don’t want to die, keep yourself in line.”
“Yes…” A huge pressure came, and Sandra’s entire body trembled. It took a lot of effort for her to reply, “Yes… sir.”
Sandra closed the curtains and did not dare to think about anything else. She still had an assessment in Misty Ridge the next day.
Sandra thought, ‘If I couldn’t pass the assessment, I would become a walking corpse and be a maid in this castle that can be gone at any time. Therefore, I can not fail!‘

The next morning, Tiffany got up early.
She could only find the medicinal material she wanted in the morning and at night. At other times, the color of the medicinal material would become the same as ordinary plants. There was no way to tell them from each other.
After breakfast, the group set off in high spirits.
John instructed his men behind him, “This medicinal material is important. Be careful when you pluck them. Keep them intact!”
Under Tiffany’s instructions the previous night, John had typed out the photos of the medicinal material and given one to everyone to search, thinking the more people there were, the faster they could find it.
The fog in Misty Ridge was so thick that the helicopters could not fly over. Hence, the group took a car and arrived nearby. Then, they went into the forest.
The moment they entered Misty Ridge, all the signals disappeared. Even the compass that they had prepared would lose its effect. It was such a terrifying place, filled with excitement and surprise.
The fog dispersed, but they couldn’t see the path under their feet. The men did not know which way to go. It was Tiffany’s first time there, so she looked at Jeremy. “Lord Cooper, the rest is up to you.”

“This way.” Jeremy was a walking map. He needed no guidance in this thick fog and could move freely as usual. He could even discover anything wrong in advance. “Be careful here. It’ll collapse.”
Everyone avoided the danger.
