Her Story: Rise Of Tiffany Novel by Rex Ring
Chapter 46

‘OMG! Am I so lucky? In the Sanctuary Mountain, can I run into such a barely-alive person?’ Tiffany thought.

Then Tiffany rubbed her temples. Ignoring it wasn’t an option, so she resigned herself to the task of patting Jeremy’s face and calling out, “Hey, wake up. Can you get up?”

She couldn’t carry such a big man. After a couple of pats, Jeremy responded, opening his eyes and grabbing Tiffany’s foot. “Save me, and I’ll repay you.” Then he passed out again.

Tiffany felt an urge to curse. ‘How has this guy, badly injured as he was, managed to climb up here?’ she thought.

But seeing that Jeremy really needed saving or he would die, Tiffany gritted her teeth and used all her strength to carry him down the mountain.

Soon, Tiffany brought him to the nearest hospital. Fortunately, the rescue was timely, and Jeremy was saved.

Watching Jeremy still sleeping in the hospital bed, Tiffany called Thalia and told her she was out having some fun, so there was no need to worry about her. After hanging up, she turned around, and Jeremy’s eyes were already open.

Interestingly, Jeremy had an ordinary appearance, the kind you’d never pick out in a crowd. But those eyes, like black obsidian, were strikingly bright and deep.

Looking at his eves, Jeremy seemed a bit familiar. Tiffany was stunned, trying hard to recall who he might be. Her memories from her past life were hazy, but those eyes were unforgettable.

If Tiffany remembered correctly, this man was named Jeremy Cooper. No one knew where he came from, only that he had fled to Lovell City a few years ago after being hunted.

Jeremy had no fixed address and was constantly on the move. The most important thing was that he was very skilled.

In Tiffany’s memories from her past life, Jeremy wasn’t famous, but he was notably loyal and righteous. In her previous life, he had died while shielding someone from a knife in gratitude.

Unexpectedly, in this life, she had ended up saving Jeremy by chance. Tiffany stroked her chin and made a decision.

‘Such a person, if I don’t recruit him, it’ll be a waste of the effort I put into carrying him down the mountain and into the hospital, Tiffany thought.

So Tiffany asked, “You said you would repay me. Is your word worth anything?”

Jeremy nodded and thought, ‘Since she saved my life, I owed her one.

“What do you want me to do?” Jeremy asked.

“My company is looking for a security guard. It comes with meals and accommodation, plus a monthly salary. What do you think?” Tiffany said with a smile, waiting for his response.

Although the company had Caleb managing things, they were deep in debt. From going bankrupt to now slowly recovering, they had no strong backing or funds, so they were under constant pressure.

Even though Tiffany acted like she was out of the picture, she didn’t want her efforts to go to waste. She had to replace ways to support it.

Jeremy was a good addition. He might not be able to solve everything, but he could at least deal with some troublemakers.

Jeremy was a bit surprised and said, “That’s it?”

Jeremy had expected this seemingly unorthodox girl to make unreasonable demands, but the offer was rather fair. It was advantageous for him.

“Are you helping me?” Jeremy asked, trying to read Tiffany’s intentions from her face.

Tiffany just smiled. “No, I have my own agenda. When the time comes and I need your help, no matter how tough it gets, I hope you’ll be there for me.”

That was Tiffany’s goal, laid out clearly, without any concealinent. Her openness was, in fact, quite admirable.

Jeremy was taken aback momentarily, then smiled. “Okay, I agree.” The promise, though simple, was a commitment made with his life.

With a skilled person on board, Tiffany felt quite pleased. She said, “Then rest up and report to the company once you’re healed.”

With that, Tiffany left the hospital and let Caleb know that Jeremy would be reporting to the company soon, and any tasks requiring physical intervention should be handled by him.

Hearing this, Caleb was thrilled.

The company had faced some trouble recently due to successful advertisements. Besides being sidelined in partnerships, they had troublemakers causing issues at the office frequently. And some security guards had been injured, creating a big mess.

Tiffany had told Caleb earlier that she’d handle the finances but wouldn’t be involved in operations. He hadn’t mentioned these issues, but it turned out the seemingly laid-back boss was actually considering every aspect of the company’s welfare.

Caleb felt reassured and said cautiously, “Ms. Kelley, the company’s operational funds are running low.”

Tiffany paused for a moment and replied, “I’ll transfer the money to you in three days.”

After ending the call, Tiffany couldn’t help but sigh. She was quite broke.

The company was just starting up, and the debts from the bankruptcy were still unpaid. With significant expenses and more debt to clear, the previous one million and two hundred thousand dollars Tiffany had provided had dwindled quickly.

Charlie only gave Tiffany a small allowance, and she had to keep buying into the Legendary Enterprises a secret. So, she was financially strained.

Determined not to let the company she worked so hard to build collapse again, Tiffany thought she needed to replace a way to make money.

While walking, Tiffany looked at a lottery ad. Then she searched her mémory for any winning numbers from her past life seriously. But despite trying her best, she couldn’t recall any.

Wandering aimlessly for a while, Tiffany finally realized she had unknowingly arrived at the largest Treasure Tower in Lovell City.

As the name suggested, the Treasure Tower was full of priceless treasures. Whether it was priceless antiques or rare paintings from various eras, each item was a treasure.

Besides selling, they also provided appraisal services. Tiffany not only could appraise treasures but also determine their era accurately. And she had never failed. All these skills were taught to her by her master, James Quinn.

In her past life, Tiffany met James when she was five. James bent down and asked, “Will you be my apprentice? If ‘Master,’ I’ll teach you how to disguise yourself.

“If you call me ‘Master’ ten times, I’ll teach you how to appraise treasures and everything else you want to learn.”

At that time, she blinked, curious, and asked, “What if I call you a hundred times?”

“I’ll ensure your safety for life.” James’ words were solemn and heavy.

The six-year-old Tiffany didn’t fully understand what being protected for life meant, but because it was fun, she often sneaked out to learn from James.

By the age of sixteen, Tiffany discovered that James intended to kill Kenneth. She stopped him and even severed ties with him.

Tiffany would never forget the disappointed look James gave her. He said, “You’ll regret this, Tiffany.”

But Tiffany had been resolute, stepping into a deep abyss without hesitation. Now, she finally knew what regret felt like.

Tiffany came back to her senses and couldn’t help but smile wryly. In her past life, she had been so foolish, making countless mistakes. Looking back now, she felt like she wanted to slap herself.

What hurt even more was that the break with James had happened when she was sixteen. Even though she had returned to being eighteen, it was too late to apologize to him, who had completely disappeared.

Tiffany looked up at the sky. After a while, her gaze became determined as she stepped into the Treasure Tower.

There was still a chance. Tiffany would use her actions to show James that she would never step into that abyss again.

On the contrary, Tiffany would send everyone who had wronged her straight to hell.
