Chapter 553
So ruthless?
Morwen’s face turned awful.
She knew Tiffany was not joking. Under the strong threat, the speech she had prepared was stuck in her throat.
Morwen choked and rolled her eyes. Then she forced a smile calmly and replied, “Let go of me first, and let me put on some clothes. I’ll tell you…”
‘She is pushing her luck?‘ thought Tiffany.
Tiffany smiled faintly and gently pushed open the window. “You are not qualified to negotiate with me. You have two choices. Either you tell me what dirty things you have done honestly or I will throw you down.”
As Tiffany spoke, she glanced downstairs and smiled playfully. “You won’t die from falling from such a height. At most, you’ll be crippled.”
‘Is she a demon?‘ thought Morwen.
Morwen was so angry that she almost cursed. She held it in and did not flare up. He said angrily, “Grandpa’s illness has nothing to do with me. It’s a chronic illness. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the doctor who usually treats Grandpa. What I said is true.”
“It has nothing to do with you?” Tiffany sneered. “Haven’t you always hoped something would happen to Grandpa so that you could inherit this position?”
“But I didn’t do anything.” Morwen hurriedly explained.
She was afraid she would be thrown down the stairs, so she held onto the bathtub tightly and did not let go. “If you don’t believe me, you can go and investigate. Grandpa’s coma has nothing to do with me. Really!”
Tiffany did not say anything.
She thought, ‘Morwen has been unscrupulous to climb up the ranks for the past decade.
‘But one thing is also true.
‘Although Morwen has thought of killing His Majesty many times, she never dares to take the risk of putting her thoughts into action. Otherwise, His Majesty’s years of favor and trust in her will be ruined if the matter comes to light.
‘It is not worth it for Morwen, who may be stupid, but not to that extent. However, she dares not, but it doesn’t mean her supporters dare not.‘
Tiffany stepped forward, grabbed Morwen’s neck, and lifted her out of the bathtub. Then, she asked, “Tell me, who else is behind you? Is it those restless families in Azure Sea Royal Family, or is it someone else?”
Upon hearing that, Morwen’s eyes flashed, and she denied it. “What are you talking about? What backer? Who’s backing me? Don’t randomly accuse me.”
“You don’t know? Are you
sure?”
“Of course!” Morwen answered with certainty.
She certainly wouldn’t give up the secret easily. To be precise, she couldn’t. Otherwise… her life would be in jeopardy.
“Great.” Tiffany had finally run out of patience. She grabbed Morwen and exerted a little force, and Morwen was pressed out

of the window upside down.
They were on the third floor,
There was a gravel path below.
Falling from such a height, whether one would die or be crippled depended on luck.
“Ah!” Morwen screamed in fear.

She kept waving her hands around as if trying to grab onto something. However, she could not even grab onto the wall at her angle.
“Let me go back, let me go back. No! Please, I am begging you…”
“I’ll ask you one last time. What’s going on with Grandpa’s coma? I’ll let go of my hand if you don’t tell me the truth.”
Then Tiffany clearly felt Morwen hesitate.
Between life and death, no one wants to choose the latter.
Morwen struggled a few times. In the end, she gritted her teeth and whispered, “Grandpa’s illness… His illness… is…”
Just as she was about to say the last few words, a black shadow suddenly flew over her head.
Morwen looked up and was instantly overjoyed.
Tiffany’s face darkened when she saw Morwen stop in the middle of her sentence. She put Morwen down again and threatened, “Speak!”
However, Morwen, for some unknown reason, struggled free of her hand and plunged downward without hesitation.
Tiffany could not stop Morwen and was forced to let go when Morwen struggled to break free.
Just like that, Morwen fell from the window on the third floor.
Tiffany immediately stuck her head out to take a look. However, she felt a black shadow streak across the sky. A cold glint flashed in the moonlight as a knife flew toward her face.
Tiffany dodged to the side, and the knife stabbed into the wall. It was obvious the person who did it was strong.
It was also because of the delay that Tiffany did not see the black shadow, after attacking her, catch Morwen, who was trying to jump off the building with all her might, and left the castle at an extremely agile flying speed.
An afterimage flashed past in midair, and the people on the ground did not even notice movement.
When Tiffany dodged the knife attack and looked out the window again, the first ray of light rose from the horizon. The moon had hidden in the clouds, and only a shallow bright arc could be seen. Other than that, the black shadow just now was like an illusion.
It was traceless and untraceable.
Tiffany’s heart skipped a beat. She immediately left the third floor and rushed to the first floor. However, she did not see Morwen on the ground that corresponded to the window.
‘No wonder she wanted to break free from my grip and jump down. It turns out the black shadow is here to save her. In that case, it is likely the person behind Morwen. Which force?‘ thought Tiffany.
When Garry and the others saw Tiffany rushing down, they had a strange expression. They ran over and asked, “Tiffany,

what are you looking for?”
“Did you guys see a black shadow just now? A shadow flying in the air,” said Tiffany.

Tiffany’s intuition told her it was a human, but the other party had disguised himself from head to toe. Besides, the sky was still dark when the knife was about to attack hier, she dodged it out of habit and did not even have the time to see if it was a human or a ghost.
Garry was stunned. He shook his head blankly. “I didn’t see it. Did something happen?”
“Morwen was rescued,” Tiffany replied.
Then she added, “Pack your things. We have to leave, too.”
Although Morwen was stupid, she was extremely vengeful. Over the years, she had held great power with the title of Royal Saintess. Now that she had been saved, it would not be long before she sent people to surround them.
They wouldn’t be able to leave later if they didn’t leave now.
Garry nodded solemnly and waved his hand, immediately signaling everyone to prepare to leave with their belongings.

When June heard the news, she rushed over and sized up Tiffany anxiously. “Miss Kelley, are you alright? Are you anywhere?”
She saw the knife on the wall. Half of the blade had gone in. If it hit someone, the lethality would be terrifying.
Just the thought of it was enough to make one shudder in fear.
Tiffany shook her head. “I’m fine, June. Don’t worry.”
“That’s good.”
June heaved a sigh of relief. After what happened just now, no matter what Tiffany said, she would not dare to leave her side easily.
“By the way, June, help me investigate someone.”
“Who?”
“Check all Morwen’s social interactions and see if she’s related to Felix.”
June was stunned. She could not help but ask, “Miss Kelley, do you suspect the person who saved Morwen is Felix?”
Tiffany nodded.
