Chapter 691
Where is Tiffany? Richard panicked.
He searched the bedroom and then rushed downstairs.
The servant on duty was dozing off when she suddenly saw a tall figure rush down. She was startled awake, standing up respectfully and asking, “Mr. Hampton, is there anything I can do for you?”
“Where is my wife?” Richard’s face was grim. He looked intimidating and terrifying.
The servant was shocked. She stuttered, “Mrs. Hampton? After she returned, she stayed in her room and hasn’t come out.”
Unsure if she had answered correctly, the servant hesitated and added, “Mr. Hampton, what’s wrong? Is Mrs. Hampton missing?”
Richard didn’t respond to her, the cold and oppressive aura around him growing stronger. He strode out of the villa. Outside, Garry and John were still chatting. They froze when they saw Richard.
“What… What happened?”
Richard ignored them, got into his car, and drove off.
The engine roared in the still night. With a stomp on the gas, he sped away from Royal Bay at breakneck speed. Behind him, Garry and John recovered from their shock. They quickly reacted and got in another car to follow.
Neither of them had any mood to joke now. They were filled with confusion and concern.
Just moments ago, everything seemed fine. However, it took a turn for the worse immediately.
Thinking about how Richard had stormed out of the villa with such a menacing air, Garry and John’s faces turned serious. The last time they saw Richard like this was at the engagement party when Felix hypnotized Tiffany and stabbed him.
Now, seeing Richard like this again, they feared something was very wrong.
They pressed the accelerator all the way down, but even so, they couldn’t catch up to Richard.
At Luna Villa, the moon hung brightly in the sky.
The bright moonlight hung on the branches.
In the stillness, the sound of tires screeching suddenly broke the silence. Richard slammed on the brakes and stepped out of
the car.
The villa in front of him was dark, every window shut tight. It felt like an unspoken rejection.
As he took a step forward, the iron gate immediately emitted a warning alarm, followed by the flashing, menacing lights of an electric fence.
The entire villa was surrounded by a high–tech security system. Like a heavily guarded prison, it was impenetrable to anyone, including Richard.
Richard lowered his gaze.
He had arranged the advanced security system for Luna Villa. He was worried about Tiffany’s safety, fearing someone like Felix or others with special abilities might pose a threat to her.

This system was supposed to ensure that no one could break in
Yet, Richard didn’t expect the first person to be blocked was not anyone else, but himself.
Richard stepped back, leaning against the car.
He raised his eyes to look toward Tiffany’s bedroom. But all he could see were tightly drawn curtains, not a single ray of light pecking through, as if she had already gone to bed.
A few minutes behind, Garry and John arrived at the scene and saw Richard waiting at the door. They were both stunned and called out, “Richard?”
“Mr. Hampton?”
They had never seen Richard like this.
His tall, dignified figure was shrouded in darkness. The man who was usually above everyone else now appeared alone and utterly pitiful.
Garry and John exchanged a glance and approached, ready to ring the doorbell. However, Richard didn’t even lift his head and coldly said, “Get lost.”
Garry and John felt a chill run down their spines. There were many things they wanted to say. But when they met Richard’s cold, emotionless gaze, all they could do was nod in silence.
“Yes” they muttered and got into their cars to leave.
However, unable to shake their concern, they didn’t drive far and stopped two miles away from Luna Villa.
After discussing it briefly, they decided to call Sidney. “What should we do?”
Sidney rubbed his aching head and sighed after hearing the news. “You should head back. We outsiders can’t interfere with their relationship. We’ll only make things worse.”
Especially since they didn’t know the full context.
Garry thought it over and agreed. He suppressed his worries and headed back to Royal Bay first.
Back at the scene, Richard dialed Tiffany again. One call after another, but all went unanswered.
Sitting on the large bed, Tiffany had only one lamp on, casting a dim yellow glow in the room. Despite the warm light, she felt a deep chill in her limbs, as though her heart was sinking in the cold depths of the sea.
Her phone vibrated again. This was the seventeenth call.
Tiffany took a deep breath, and just as the phone’s battery was nearly depleted, she answered the call.
Downstairs, Richard froze for a moment, thinking this call would also go unanswered. Still, it was better than her not answering at all.
Richard said, “Darling.”
His magnetic voice reached her ears, and her hand trembled. Yet, her voice was unnervingly calm. “Mr. Hampton, is there something you need?”
Hearing the polite and distant address, Richard frowned. His usually handsome face now carried a sense of helplessness an
restraint.
After a brief silence, he spoke again. “Are you not going to ask me anything? Are you just sentencing me without knowing th

truth?”
Tiffany let out a sarcastic laugh.
Back at Kajus’s castle, she had asked him once after hearing Cecelia’s words. But his response back then had been nothing but denial and avoidance.
Instead, she got the answer from the Treasure Box. Now, there was no point in asking further.
