Her Story: Rise Of Tiffany Novel by Rex Ring
Chapter 39

There was a momentary silence.

All the employees on the first floor of the Royal Tower were stunned, with dozens of eyes focused on Tiffany’s delicate hand clutching Richard’s suit.

This is over. Mr. Hampton is impervious to women and is an extreme clean freak, detesting being touched by others. What this audacious girl is about to face next is likely the scorching wrath of him and the humiliation of being publicly thrown out by security. A flicker of sympathy silently crossed everyone’s hearts.

But the next second, instead of getting angry, the usually stern Richard unexpectedly held her hand and then led her out of the company with long strides.

The news at Royal Tower had exploded that day with the topic of discussion “the ever-cold big boss in love finally.”

Inside the car, Tiffany looked at Richard’s stern face, her heart pounding. She had just mentioned that a severe landslide would occur near Maple Mountain. The statement was delivered with absolute certainty.

When asked for a reason, Tiffany simply replied, “I had a dream, and everything in it will come true, so….”

The excuse was likely to earn her a rebuke for being out of her mind. But she had no better choice.

If she were to claim that she had died once before, she might not be in Richard’s car right now but rather in a mental institution.

Richard glanced at her, noticing her tense yet earnest expression. He furrowed his brow, then dialed Sidney’s number, which signified his trust.

Tiffany let out a sigh of relief.

However, the phone call went unanswered.

“He left alone quite early. If what you’re saying is true, then… it might be too late by now.” With that, Richard patted the stunned Tiffany. “Fasten your seatbelt.”

Tiffany snapped back to reality and quickly fastened her seatbelt

The car sped off.

Maple Mountain was located beyond the outskirts of Lovell City Although far away, its picturesque landscape led to its early planning for development as a vacation destination.

This project was originally secured by the Hampton family but later transferred to the Pauley family.

Tiffany still remembered before she time traveled, the death of Sidney had led to a lot of criticism against Richard, with even rumors suggesting that he was responsible for Sidney’s death.

Given their close relationship, it must have been difficult for Richard to bear the loss of Sidney.

With this thought, Tiffany turned her head and quietly glanced at Richard, who was driving with intense focus, his cold and handsome face showing no signs of worry, yet the tense atmosphere and increasingly fast speed of the car spoke volumes.

“Richard, relax, Tiffany gently said. “We can make it on time. We definitely will.”

Before she time traveled, the events had already occurred with no possibility of change. But in this life, she was the variable.

Meanwhile, on the only road leading to Maple Mountain. Sidney was halfway through his drive when he was stumped.

He was driving a sports car, which was sleek and roaring all the way. But on this bumpy mountain road, it was practically suicide

Soon, the car’s undercarriage was firmly stuck. Sidney got out, rubbing his temples in distress.

He wanted to call for help, only to replace that his phone had completely lost signal since entering the forest. And it was the rainy season, with torrential rain pouring down without any warning

Sidney had no choice but to get into the car.

After about ten minutes, a small passenger bus heading toward Maple Mountain approached.

Having no choice, Sidney flagged down the bus and got on.

The driver shouted, “Two dollars per person. Pay first.”

Sidney fumbled in his wallet, found no small change, and casually handed over a one-hundred-dollar hote.

His generosity and expensive attire clearly marked him as a rich kid from a wealthy family, especially the sports car parked by the roadside, which was likely worth a lot.

The men on the bus exchanged glances, each seeing the glint of greed in the other’s eyes as if they had a fat target in their sights

Zoe was having a particularly unlucky day. Having rescued a classmate from trouble a few days ago, she ended up being kidnapped herself and finally to be saved by Tiffany.

Upon returning to school, Zoe confronted the classmate, asking why the classmate had stayed silent despite knowing she had been missing for two days

The classmate replied with a callous “You deserved it….”

Enraged by the heart-wrenching attitude, Zoe punched the classmate brutally. And then she got expelled.

She didn’t dare tell her family and continued to leave the house as if going to school, only to wander aimlessly afterward.

She got on this bus thinking that a round trip would help kill time.

‘How unlucky can I be!’ As Zoe thought about it, she became more and more upset, her eyes turning red.

Then she heard a gentle voice above her head. “Can I sit here?”

“Sure,” she replied with a sob, and when she looked up, she was stunned, wondering. There’s actually such a hottie in the mountain?”

Sitting down, Sidney experienced his first ride on a bus, which was nothing but torture.

The air was thick and murky, punctuated by occasional coughs and spitting. In the back, someone had apparently taken off their shoes, and the foul odor wafted relentlessly through the cramped space, turning Sidney’s brows to frown tightly.

After three stops, Sidney decided he couldn’t take it anymore and disembarked.

Just as he reached the door, five or so burly men surrounded him smirking insincerely. “Want to get off? Sure, just leave all your money behind and you can scram.”

The leather wallet that Sidney exposed when getting onto the bus was filled with quite a few bills.

“Am 1 being robbed?’ Sidney sneered, still maintaining an air of refinement, but his words carried the arrogance befitting the heir of the Pauley family. “Step aside and you might avoid a beating. Or you can try me.”

Zoe blinked her eyes, praising inwardly, “That’s kind of cool!

After a moment’s thought, she quickly took out a bottle of pepper spray from her bag.

If these people were intent on robbing, then the other passengers on the bus were bound to be in trouble as well, including her

The robbers sneered upon hearing this and charged at Sidney.

Sidney, who had long been training as a punching bag behind Richard, could certainly handle them.

With a swift move, he knocked one down after another; in just a few blinks of an eye, the men who had been so fierce were all moaning in pain on the ground.

“Scram!” Sidney kicked them, and the men were so terrified that they scrambled out of the vehicle, crawling out in a panic.

At that moment, the driver suddenly slammed on the brakes. Everyone on the bus was caught off guard and flung forward violently.

Zoe and Sidney were the quickest to react, immediately grabbing the handrails and seats to avoid injury,

“What’s going on?”

Someone with a bloodied face shouted, “Can you even drive?”

The driver let out a sigh. “A landslide up ahead has blocked the road; we can’t get through!”

Looking up, they saw several rocks had fallen just ahead, and with a large amount of mud sliding down, the road was completely blocked.

Seeing this, Zoe instinctively looked toward the left mountain, and suddenly her expression changed dramatically, shouting

“Run! Run!”
