Chapter 318

The man’s deep voice rang in her ears. “Running away? Where are you running to?”

L. Tiffany was very nervous. She could feel his eyes boring into her. She stammered for a long time before finally saying, “I need to go to the washroom…”

Richard was caught off guard by that answer. Then, he chuckled and obligingly let go of Tiffany. “Go then.”

Tiffany’s face was extremely red. Without hesitation, she hurried towards the backyard toilet. However, just as she approached, she bumped into Grelle.

Grelle seemed to have been loitering nearby. Therefore, when she suddenly bumped into Tiffany, she panicked and tried to hide. She didn’t even say “hello” before running away.

“Grelle…” Before Tiffany could stop her, the petite figure had disappeared. Grelle ran frantically for a long time before stopping. She was so sad that her eyes were red-rimmed from weeping.

She had pretended to be wandering around outside and had accidentally seen it. That sight was a huge blow to her. The only thing the man she adored ever said to her was, “Get lost.” On top of that, no matter how hard she tried, he never looked at her. So this was the difference between the sky and the earth.

Grelle buried her head in her knees and wept silently. At this moment, a gentle voice came from overhead. “What’s wrong, Grelle?”

Grelle raised her head and was slightly dazed. “Melody… I… I’m fine.” Worried that the other party would see through her, Grelle stood up and turned to leave. However, Melody placed a hand on the girl’s shoulder and smiled gently.

“You like the guest staying next door very much, don’t you?”

“Let me tell you, that guest is a big shot with a fortune that can rival a country. His wealth and status are beyond your imagination,” Melody smiled again.

“Why are you telling me all these things?” Grelle was a little angry. “Are you trying to tell me that an ugly duckling like me will never be able to get close to such a man? Are you trying to remind me to know my place?”

Melody smiled confidently. “No. On the contrary, I’m here to help you. As long as you’re willing, I can help you.”

Of course, it would be a lie to say that Grelle wasn’t tempted. She thought for a moment before rejecting Melody righteously. “No. Although I’m tempted by what you said, I have my pride. It’s useless to fight for what doesn’t belong to me. If it is meant to be mine, I can get it even if I don’t do anything. Moreover, in television dramas, those who do bad things will not have a good ending, so please don’t get me into trouble. Thank you!”

Chapter 318

With that, Grelle brushed Melody’s hand away and ran towards the cotton fields without looking back. A young girl’s thoughts came and went quickly. Likewise, her emotions changed rapidly. Within a few minutes, Grelle’s usual smile was restored as she worked in the cotton fields. She looked innocent and pure, lively and lovable.

The statement, “Those who do bad things will not have a good ending,” stung Melody. Her eyes gradually turned icy. “Idiot, you can’t even hold onto such a good opportunity. Serve you right if you are stuck in such a place for the rest of your life!” She gave a scornful snort and left.

On the way back, Melody tried to call Sandra again, but there was still no answer. Of course, there was no reply from Sandra. That was because she could not even take care of herself right now. She had heard about how her deep pit scheme failed. That night, when she heard that Melody had fallen into it and almost lost her life, Sandra was so angry that she cursed out loud. “She can’t even handle such a small matter and almost got herself killed. She’s really stupid!”

Only God knew how much effort she had put into getting that pit ready. She had to get people to dig secretly so that no one would know, and she had to prevent other people passing by on the mountain from stepping into it by mistake. In the end, it was all for naught!

Sandra was downright furious. However, she still had a backup plan: planting bombs. The last time, Tiffany managed to avoid the deep pit. This time, it was a bomb. As long as she came within range, there was no way for her to escape certain death.

After personally supervising her subordinates in the planting of the bombs, Sandra was finally satisfied. She then tried to locate a place with strong phone reception so that she could call Melody. As she walked back and forth, she encountered more than a dozen villagers digging for potatoes on the mountain. Sandra took no notice of them and walked away with disdain.

However, when one of the women saw Sandra, her entire body trembled violently. She rushed up to Sandra, grabbed her sleeve, and shouted at her repeatedly. “It’s you, it’s you!”

When Sandra was grabbed suddenly and her expensive dress became stained with mud, she flew into a rage. “Are you crazy? Let go!” As she spoke, she tried to shake off the woman’s hands. However, this woman was surprisingly strong. Her expression was ferocious as she refused to let go. She yelled, “Sandra Olson, take a good look and see who I am!”

Sandra was stunned when the other party called out her name. She then took a good look at the woman. She didn’t recognize her at first, though she looked vaguely familiar. When she looked closer, Sandra’s heart skipped a beat, and her expression instantly changed. “You… you…”

The woman in front of her was none other than Jordan Booth’s mother, her former mother-in-law.

Lauren Booth sneered. “It’s good that you recognized me! You damn bitch, you’re actually not dead. Spit out the money you took from my family! Spit it out!”

Chapter 318

When enemies met, they were particularly bitter. Many grudges had built up slowly over the years, and it was no longer just a simple matter of Sandra swindling their money. After the Booth family’s downfall, the family members could still survive by relying on the remaining expensive jewelry and a few properties. However, as the saying goes, when it rains, it pours. Jordan’s father became seriously ill. The surgery and medical fees were like a huge bottomless pit. The family sold all their valuable things, but in the end, Jordan’s father still died.

Lauren had no choice but to return to the rural hometown with her son, Jordan Booth. However, when she was rich, she did not help her hometown. When she returned, who in her hometown would care about her and her son? Hence, Jordan, who used to spend his nights drinking and having fun, had to work as a bricklayer. And Lauren, who was once decked out in jewelry, had to work as a farmer.

Every time she suffered hardships, Lauren would curse Sandra Olson. However, the wretched woman was already dead. What else could she do other than curse her? By accident, she heard a few days ago that Sandra was not dead. She did not believe it at first, but surprisingly, she bumped into this wretched woman today.

With new grudges added to old scores, things would not be so easy to settle. Lauren was downright ferocious as she grabbed Sandra’s hand tightly. “You bitch, you’re living quite comfortably, aren’t you? The clothes you’re wearing are all famous brands. You’re squandering our family’s wealth and eating so well. You have some nerve!”

Sandra gasped in pain. She felt as if her arm was about to break. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead as she hurriedly said, “No, I didn’t take your family’s money!”

Back then, half of the money was taken by Tiffany when Sandra asked for medicine from the Miracle Healer. The other half was snatched away by Miss Hart, who had helped her back then. In the end, Sandra did not get anything. All her efforts benefited other people. But would Lauren Booth believe her?

Even after Sandra explained, the older woman became even more determined to fight Sandra to the death. “You bitch, you ruined my family. You and I shall perish together!”
