Chapter 504
Tiffany knew in advance that something would happen at Moonlit Pier. To avoid it, she must change the location.
She figured if the place and time were different, that fire and that explosion might not happen again.
Morwen didn’t expect that, so she immediately turned around and said, “Really? Fine. I’ll change the location, but don’t back
The corners of Tiffany’s mouth lifted slightly as he watched the group of people leave.
Almost as if worried Tiffany would change her mind, Morwen had someone deliver a handwritten invitation to her within two minutes, confirming the new location and time as Tiffany had suggested.
Tiffany accepted it. The event would be the following night, so there was no rush,
Tiffany requested to switch rooms since a large hole had been made in the wall, leaving the rooms connected, which obviously wasn’t acceptable.
The hotel repeatedly apologized for the incident, but Tiffany didn’t make a fuss and got someone to carry her luggage. Once she moved to another room, she went to take a shower.
When she came out of the bathroom, her hair still damp, she heard the doorbell ring.
Tiffany opened the door and saw the man who had followed her all day standing there.
“Do you need something” asked Tiffany
The man asked, “Mind if I come in?”
“Bang!” Tiffany shut the door in his face.
“Why have I kept running into all kinds of weirdos lately? Tiffany muttered annoyedly as she walked back.
However she suddenly thought of something and immediately turned back to open the door again.
The man was still there, standing exactly where he had been.
Tiffany wouldn’t have recognized him by his face, but she found those eyes distinctly familiar.
She immediately grabbed him and pulled him inside, then slammed the door shut.
“Are you Jeremy Cooper?” As Tiffany asked, she reached out to tug at his mask.
In her memory, Jeremy was a master of disguise, so the face in front of her might not even be real.
After pulling for a moment, Tiffany finally found a nearly invisible thin layer of disguise behind his ear.
Her suspicions were instantly confirmed, so she said affirmatively. “It’s you!”
Jeremy smiled without denying it. He hadn’t expected that Tiffany would recognize him after just two encounters. He wondered if his disguise had failed or if she was just too sharp.
Tiffany was overjoyed to finally meet her right–hand man she had not seen for a long time. When she calmed down, she asked, “How did you end up in Traron City? And why the disguise?”
Jeremy replied, “I came to find you.”

“Huh? What do you mean?” “Tiffany was confused.
“Didn’t I tell you before? I’d always be by your side to protect you. So, here I am, Jeremy said earnestly. “Also, don’t go to the ball tomorrow. Morwen has placed a bomb on the yacht.”
Tiffany asked in surprise, “How do you know?”
“I’ve got people watching her every move,” said Jeremy.
“I see.” Tiffany nodded, then said with a smile, “Actually… I’m not alone here, so you don’t have to worry about my safety,”
With so many of her subordinates from the training camp, she was confident that no one would recognize them.
Since she was here to eliminate her enemies, she had certainly come fully prepared.”
emy was slightly shocked, but seeing how calm and confident Tiffany was, he nodded and felt relieved.
Tiffany asked, “By the way, is this your real face?”
“No.” Jeremy said.
“You said before that the next time we met, you’d let me see your real face. Does that still count?” Tiffany had been curious about that for a long time, and now that the chance was here, she couldn’t help but want to see what he looked like.
Jeremy hesitated for a moment. He pondered, “Before I left, the king told me not to reveal my identity. I’ve already it to Tiffany y and now, even my face… Forget it. If she wanted to see it, so be it.
Jeremy nodded and was about to peel off the disguise on his face.
But just then, there was a loud banging on the door, followed by frantic cries. “Help! Help!”
Tiffany opened the door to find Victor’s trusted butler frantically pounding on it.
“Damn it. I haven’t put on my disguise yet, Tiffany cursed in her mind.
Sure enough, upon seeing her real face, the butler’s first reaction was to ask, “Isn’t the room of the Miracle Healer?”
Before Tiffany could respond, she saw the elderly man suddenly freeze, and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably,
Tiffany frowned and thought, “Do I look that scary!”
Then she asked, “Mr. Mack, are you alright?”
She reached out to steady him. Since her identity had already been exposed, she decided to admit it. “Mr. Mack, what happened? Why did you call for help?
Samuel snapped out of it and quickly replied, ‘Mr. Ashton’s illness has flared up again. The doctor said he might not make it through the night. What should we do?”
“Then let’s waste no time. Let’s go.” With that, Tiffany headed ou
The situation was urgent, and though the butler had a lot of questions, he couldn’t ask them at the moment, so he led Tiffany swiftly to the hospital.
On the way, Tiffany learned that Victor, whom she had once pulled back from the brink of death, had fallen ill again after being upset by his own family. Those ungrateful descendants of his had started dividing his assets and shares upon learning he might not survive.
When Victor found out, he was so furious he couldn’t catch his breath and ended up in the intensive care unit once again.

Chapter 501
When Tiffany arrived at the hospital, she took out her needles one by one and skillfully applied them to help Victor’s circulation.
But the old man had lost his will to live. Even though her intervention was timely, he might not make it through the night.
Tillany puckered her brows, then shook her head at the butler.
Sometimes, a person’s will to survive can pull them out of the jaws of death. But if they have given up all hope, it’s incredibly difficult to bring them back.
Samuel nearly collapsed. He rushed forward, gently patted Victor’s check, and whispered in his ear, “Sir, please open your eyes… Your granddaughter is here. Please, just open your eyes and see her.
“You’ve been searching for her for so long and looking forward to reuniting with her for decades. Please wake up, sir. Even if you
‘t hold on for long… at least fulfill your lifelong wish before you go…
Samuel’s voice was choked with emotion
Tiffany, with her keen hearing, caught every word, though she couldn’t quite understand the meaning and didn’t dwell on it.
She supposed that was Victor’s deepest wish.
After several minutes, Victor slowly opened his heavy eyelids. His vision was blurred at first but gradually cleared.
Then he saw a delicate and lovely young face right beside his bed
It was a teenage girl with bright eyes and a sweet smile. She was beautiful and charming, and most importantly, she looked remarkably like his daughter.
