Her Story: Rise Of Tiffany Chapter 51

‘Well, isn’t it like finding money on the ground? Tiffany thought, but when she realized the “victim” she had indirectly taken advantage of was standing before her, she suddenly felt guilty.

Richard asked again, “Do you need a piggyback ride?”

“Huh?” Tiffany was caught off guard, momentarily stunned.

Richard’s voice lowered as he spoke slowly. “You were in the bathroom for almost two hours. Is everything okay?”

Richard was implying her stomach was better.

Tiffany choked on his words, feeling embarrassed. Then she reached out to push Richard away. “Oh, come on! I just had a stomachache. I don’t want to keep running back and forth, so I stay put.”

But before Tiffany could react, Richard grabbed her hand, and suddenly, something cold touched her wrist. When she looked down, she saw that the rare pink diamond bracelet worth 40 million dollars was now on her wrist.

Tiffany looked up in shock and exclaimed, “You…”

Tiffany didn’t even know what to say.

Richard, however, remained calm. He even seemed a little pleased. The bracelet looked great against her smooth, fair wrist.

Tiffany asked, “Is this for me?”

Tiffany wanted to say it was too expensive to accept originally, but she’d used the excuse of being in the bathroom for two hours to explain why she missed the appraisal event.

Revealing that she knew the price now would only expose her lie. So Tiffany tried a different approach. “It looks pretty valuable. I can’t accept it.”

“Not at all,” Richard interrupted.

Without even lifting an eyelid, Richard said casually, “It’s fake. Just a cheap knockoff from a street vendor, not worth a thing

If she hadn’t been the one who sold it, she might have believed him. Despite her inner complaints, Tiffany understood that Richard said this to make it easier for her to accept the gift.

So Tiffany nodded. “Thank you.”

“Remember, you’re not allowed to take it off. It’s only fair,” Richard said. Then he pointed to the necklace around his neck, which was the one Tiffany had given him.

Richard really hadn’t taken it off even once. Tiffany couldn’t help but laugh.

It felt good to see Richard treasure the gift she had given him. To return the gesture, Tiffany smiled, her eyes curving into crescents. “Alright, I won’t take it off.”

By the time they walked out, most of the guests had already left. It was getting late, and the sun was setting. Richard offered to drive Tiffany home.

When they reached the Cedar Ridge Villa, Tiffany was about to go inside when Richard stopped her.

Meanwhile, Richard handed her a small box, his tone casual, his smile almost imperceptible. But that devilishly handsome face could charm anyone. He said, “Just another street vendor trinket. It’s for girls only, so it’s yours.”

That smile of Richard’s was dangerously charming.

It wasn’t until his car had driven away that Tiffany snapped back to reality. ‘What is it this time?’ she wondered as she opened the box.

Inside lay a beautifully ornate necklace. It was the one Tiffany had described in her story as the love token of an empress and emperor.

Tiffany blinked. ‘Am I reading too much into this?’

The next day at school, Tiffany found Zoe waiting for her at the school gate, just as they had agreed.

Last night, Tiffany had told Charlie, that she wanted to arrange for a friend to join her class.
