Chapter 578 In the morning, Tiffany cracked the sandbag with a punch. This time, she was careful and only used 20% of her strength. In the next second, screams rang out like a pig being slaughtered.
The boy's jaw was dislocated. Saliva dripped down as he spoke, his voice breaking. "Tiffany, you... you're so ruthless! I took one of your books, and you treatlike this?" Tiffany blinked, looking apologetic. “Oh no, I'm so sorry. It seems I hit you a bit too hard. How about I fix your jaw?" Without waiting for his reply, she punched him again. The cracking sound was followed by an even more miserable scream. But true to her word, she put his jaw back in place.
Tiffany clapped her hands and said with a smile, "As good as new. If you keep blaming me, you're just asking for another punch." "You... Shon you," replied the boy.
His face turned pale from the pain. He retreated, frightened by her warning. Once he was at a safe distance, he cursed angrily, "You think I'm afraid of your family? You hit me. I'll make you pay for this sooner or later." He was Joaquin Chase, a trust fund kid whose family's wealth and influence surpassed that of the Kelley family. As a child of privilege, Joaquin was always ready to pick on others wherever he went. Arrogance was second nature to him. Today was the first the had experienced such a terrible setback from Tiffany.
He couldn't help but worry that his jaw might dislocate on its own someday. The more Joaquin thought about it, the angrier he became. He pointed at Tiffany as a warning, then turned and ran out of the classroom, likely to get help.
Tiffany sat down slowly, her gaze sweeping across the crowd. Silence hung heavy in the air; no one dared to make a sound.
Zoe already picked up the book and scoffed at those who had mocked her. "So nosy. Mind your own business." 'I'm focused on my review. It's none of their business how I do it. A bunch of hypocrites. They wait forto make a mistake and laugh at me,' she thought.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTiffany patted her gently, bringing her attention back to the book, and said coolly, "Alright, let's continue." The commotion subsided with Tiffany's intervention. Melody, seated at the back, raised her eyebrows with a hint of contempt.
Tiffany cared so much about Zoe. Melody wondered what Tiffany would do if something happened to Zoe. Thinking of this, Melody got up and left the classroom.
She went to the empty playground, took out her phone, and scrolled through the contacts. Finally, she found the phone number and made a call.
"Hello?" Melody said over the phone.
Grelle answered in her clear, ethereal voice, "Hi, Melody?" "Grelle, how have you been recently?" Melody smiled and asked casually, "I haven't seen you in a long time, so I called." Back in Melvor Mountain Village, Grelle ignored her no matter how hard she tried to tempt Grelle. However, Melody knew deep down that, in many ways, they were the skind of people.
At that time, Grelle had righteously declared she wouldn't cbetween Tiffany and Richard, but Melody didn't believe a word of it. She thought, 'Grelle made it sound so selfless.
'Is that truly what she's been thinking? Can she really remain indifferent to Richard? He's so handsand has a regal bearing.
'No, Grelle is tempted and quite ambitious.' Melody doubted Grelle would still be interested in the ordinary men of the village after meeting Richard.
Besides, Grelle had a pretty face. Maybe she thought she stood a chance if she gave it a try.
Otherwise, why would Grelle cto Melody when they left the village? Grelle even condescended to ask Melody to help her leave the village.
Melody agreed readily, as she was willing to do anything that would put Tiffany at a disadvantage. That was how Grelle managed to reach Lovell City.
She and Melody had grown close ever since, and it wouldn't be wrong to call them allies.
Hearing Melody's voice, Grelle sounded a little tired as she replied, "Melody, I might have let you down. "I... The company has canceled all my commercial events.
"The company has canceled all my commercial events. Without resources, no one can help me." "Huh? What's going on?" Melody sounded surprised.
However, being in Lovell City, she always kept an eye on Grelle and Tiffany. How could she not know about this news? Melody pretended to be confused and asked, "Haven't you been doing well all this time?" "I-" Grelle didn't know how to explain to her.
Shortly after she arrived in Lovell City, with Melody's encouragement, she attended an audition at Ascendant Entertainment. With her sweet and beautiful looks, Grelle stood out and signed up with the company.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUnexpectedly, the CEO's son fell in love with her at first sight during the audition.
Ever since she arrived in the city, everything had been going exceptionally well for her. With an inflated ego, she made a grave mistake by taking advantage of Tiffany's betrayal to approach Richard. Grelle should have waited until she becan A-list star.
Going against Tiffany was the worst decision the worst decision she had ever made, but she didn't realize it.
If Grelle hadn't tried to drag Tiffany into the controversy, she wouldn't have faced the online backlash.
Grelle's image as a sweet, innocent girl, which Ascendant Entertainment had painstakingly built for her, was now in tatters. People online called her names, claiming she was the complete opposite of her image. The worst part was that Richard ordered her ban, and Ascendant Entertainment complied, even though he didn't own the company.
The company did not terminate the contract with her; instead, they shut her down, canceling her planned endorsements and variety shows.
Grelle was left with nothing. Even if she managed to leave Ascendant Entertainment, no company would be willing to take a chance on an unknown newcomer like her.
Grelle weakly told Melody what had happened. She held onto a sliver of hope, expecting Melody to help her, just like when Melody first brought her out of the village. However, what Melody said next completely shattered her hope Grelle, you know my situation. There's nothing I can do. You can only blTiffany for being selfish.
"She took everything from me, disregarding our friendship. I never expected her to leave you with no options. She's pushing you into a corner." "Melody..."
"I've already warned you that Tiffany is vengeful and cunning. Why else would Mr. Hampton ignore your m feelings You're his savior. Tiffany needs to be out of the picture if you want to start over," Melody suggested.
