Chapter 606
For Ged, everything Tiffany said left him utterly confused. He stared at her with a puzzled expression.
Every single word made sense on its own, yet together they left him completely baffled.
What bracelet? When had I gifted her a bracelet? What reindeer masked girl?‘ He had no memory of meeting anyone like that. He was even confused when Tiffany said he had suffered because of her.
Ged frowned, ready to argue. But before he could say anything, a sudden dull pain shot through his chest.
It hurt so much, like fragments of something flashing past too quickly to grasp. The sensation left him even more bewildered.
But just then, Tiffany’s time was up. She slowly closed her eyes. A wave of dizziness washed over her.
In the final second before she left this timeline completely, Tiffany suddenly heard Ged say, “I don’t regret it.”
He never regretted it.
Tiffany’s heart jolted. She snapped her eyes open, but what she saw was the Moody family villa. She was back.
Tiffany felt momentarily dazed. The Treasure Box’s voice reassured her, “Don’t worry. Everything in that lifetime has changed. In that timeline, Ged will no longer face his fatal misfortune.
On the contrary, he and Jade will be fine. Their relationship will flourish, and they’ll live a smooth, happy life together. The phrase “a smooth, happy life” lifted a weight off Tiffany’s shoulders. She had done everything she could.
In that other timeline, Jade and Ged, who had met tragic ends in this world, would live on peacefully and joyfully, for the rest of their days.
Tiffany sniffled, willing the sting in her eyes to stay hidden.
On the sofa, the Moody couple was already in tears.
Everything that had just transpired, they had seen clearly through the projection before them.
Though it defied explanation and left them deeply shocked, they instinctively chose to believe what they saw. It was a comfort for their broken hearts.
Coming back to their senses, the Moody couple held Tiffany’s hands. “Tiffany, thank you… thank you so much.” Candice sobbed.
Tiffany replied, “This is simply what I should do.”
On the night Ged had his accident, she had been fleeing for her own life and couldn’t get there in time to save him. Her actions now were a way to ease her guilt and bring some peace to Ged’s grieving parents
“Thank you, Tiffany.” Candice choked out, gripping Tiffany’s hand tightly. “You’ve given us a reason to keep going.”
Before this, they had no idea how they could carry on.
Their past struggles in the business world had all been for the sake of giving their son a life of comfort. But with their only child gone, their efforts seemed to hold no meaning anymore.
Now, though, they knew somewhere in another timeline, their son was alive and well, still full of life.

Outside the Moody family villa, Richard sat in his car, one long leg crossed over the other. His fingers tapped rhythmically on the armrest. He showed not the slightest hint of impatience.
After a while, as a faint, ethereal blue light began emanating from the villa, Richard raised his hand and made a small sweeping motion. A gust of wind surged forth, instantly dispersing the glow.
He knew what Tiffany was doing, but the Treasure Box was an anomaly, its presence too rare and precious. If left unchecked, the commotion it caused would undoubtedly attract a swarm of opportunists looking to seize it.
The blue light was suppressed outside the villa. Tiffany was transported to another timeline and didn’t know. Within the Treasure Box, its consciousness trembled under the oppressive force and nervously murmured, “Master.”
‘Master?‘ Richard raised a brow and smiled in amusement.
What a perceptive little thing.‘ Hearing it call him that made him feel like he’d suddenly gained a child.
And not just any child, but one belonging to him and Tiffany. Strangely enough, he didn’t mind the idea.
Leaning back in his seat, Richard retained his aura of dignity and command, as imposing as ever.
Moments later, Tiffany stepped out of the Moody family villa.
Under the moonlight, her figure seemed frail and delicate.
Richard got out of the car, draping his suit jacket over her shoulders as he approached.
He asked, “All settled?”
“Yes,” Tiffany replied with a nod, exhaling a long, weary breath.
This burden had weighed on her heart for too long. Since the day Ged had his accident, she’d been consumed by the desire to save him. The Treasure Box’s abilities were limited, and achieving this much was already a feat.
With this matter resolved, she decided her next stop would be Jade’s home.
Richard helped Tiffany into the car, and the vehicle headed toward Jade’s home.
Once again, the Treasure Box activated, projecting the same ethereal blue light, which coalesced into a screen. On the screen, Jade’s lively, smiling face appeared, instantly reducing the Payne couple to tears.
Their poor judgment in trusting the wrong person had come at an unbearable price.
Half an hour later, as Tiffany prepared to leave the Payne family’s residence, she suddenly felt her arm grabbed by Jade’s
mother.
The usually frail and sickly woman now had reddened eyes brimming with anguish and an indescribable fury.
She said, “Miss Kelley, I beg you. Please make sure the murderer pays the price she deserves!
“I refuse to settle. I won’t agree to compensation. I only want her dead! I want her life for my daughter’s life! I want her to atone for her death! She deserves to die!”
Tiffany nodded solemnly.
“She will,” she promised firmly.
After waiting so long for this moment, there was no way she’d let Melody slip away unscathed. Melody had to pay the price

Once back in the car, Tiffany leaned into Richard’s arms, her voice soft and her body trembling slightly. d’s arms, her vroue soltatul her boy trailing slightly.
“Seeing Jade’s mother like that…it just makes me so sad,” she murmured.
For most, this case was just a momentary tragedy to and move on from.

But for the ones directly affected, it was a wound that would never truly heal.
Richard gently stroked her back, his voice soothing. “I’ve already set everything in motion. Trust me, there will be results
soon.”
Tiffany nodded resolutely.
With Richard’s involvement, Melody’s crimes were settled in the shortest amount of time.
All her defenses were dismantled, even when she tried to claim insanity in a desperate attempt to invalidate her confession. Her signed admission of guilt rendered her plea void.
Melody still stubbornly denied it, even insisting that the signature wasn’t hers.
She claimed that at the time, Wilma had taken over her body. Though their bodies had swapped, everything else remained unchanged. The handwriting was undoubtedly Wilma’s, clumsy and ugly.
Despite her denials, Melody couldn’t refute the reality of her guilt.
