Her Story: Rise Of Tiffany

“Out of the picture? What does Melody mean?” Grelle wondered.

Grelle was stunned for a moment before realizing, “So Melody means Tiffany needs to die.” She thought it over and agreed.

‘If Tiffany dies and Richard can’t see her, he will soon forget her. She’s no better than me and has betrayed him. Why does he dote on her so much?

‘I put in so much effort to save his life. He should protect me and dote on me in return, Grelle thought.

She was swayed by Melody, but on second thought, she shook her head. The gravity of murder made her heart pound. “No, Melody, we shouldn’t have this evil thought. That… that’s illegal.”

Hearing this, Melody sneered and thought, “She’s being phony again. I bet she does feel conflicted in her heart.”

Melody kept her emotions in check, her voice gentle. “I just feel sorry for you. You were destined to be a big star, but Tiffany ruined everything. You could have stood tall, basking in fame and glory, but now everyone despises you.”

‘A big star, fame and glory,’ Grelle repeated to herself, dazed. That was indeed her dream.

When Ascendant Entertainment chose her and the higher–ups praised her, she dreamed of becoming the darling of the world.

Unfortunately, just as she used the two variety shows to gain a little popularity, everything came to an abrupt end. “That was cruel to me, wasn’t it?‘ Grelle asked herself, beginning to waver.

“But… but I have to think about it. And I don’t want to be so ruthless.” Grelle sighed, as thoughts swirled in her mind.

‘I’ve already lost everything. Should I give it a try? But if it fails, I’ll be doomed, and my parents and grandfather will face endless criticism because of me. No, I can’t,‘ Grelle seemed to decide.

Melody laughed and said ambiguously, “Then you can only pray that someone gets rid of the evil Tiffany for you.”

“Melody-”

She interrupted Grelle, saying, “Oh, right. Mr. Hampton and Tiffany’s wedding is just a few days away. Can you imagine? It will be the wedding of the century, impressing all of Lovell City.

“It’s going to be so extravagant that you won’t believe it. Her worth will rise because of it. Even Zoe will have the confidence to boss others around at school.”

Melody sighed softly. “Alright, I have to go to class. Grelle, don’t think too much about it. Take good care of yourself.”

With that, she hung up. Melody stood alone in the empty playground, The call had lasted nearly ten minutes.

She made the entire conversation sound like a casual chat, but in reality, it was an intentional incitement. Melody was certain that Grelle would be tempted.

As expected, Melody received a call from Grelle a few minutes later when she headed back. The first thing she said was, “Melody, you’ll be on my side, right?”

say it out.

Both were smart enough to understand the hint. Grelle didn’t need to Atriumphant smirk played on Melody’s lips, but her tone remained soft. “Of course, no matter what you do. And I’ll help you if I can.”

That was the deal. Grelle steeled herself and replied, “Good, let’s find a chance to lure her out. Then we’ll set her on fire.”

“OK.” After the call, Melody returned to the classroom.

She checked the time. After this class, it would be lunchtime, and Tiffany would head to the canteen to eat with Zoe. Later, Tiffany would return to the school apartment for a half–hour nap.

Half an hour would pass in the blink of an eye, so Melody knew she had to take the chance. She waited and waited.

Melody trailed behind them to the canteen. Finally, Tiffany and Zoe finished their meal. Everything was going exactly as Melody had expected.

After Tiffany returned to the apartment for an afternoon nap, Zoe would go to the classroom to do the calculations. That was when Melody came to the classroom.

She rushed in and said anxiously, “Zoe, I lost my bracelet in the playground. Can you help me—”

However, Zoe coldly interrupted her. “Are we close? Why should I help you?”

On the night when Zoe was being hunted down, Ged went back to help her, but he lost his life because of it. Even now, she did not know how that piece of metal pierced through his heart.

She suspected that Melody was behind the “so–called accident.” But without evidence, she couldn’t prove it.

‘Whatever the truth is, I’ll never get along with her,‘ Zoe thought.

With a sarcastic tone, Zoe remarked, “Ms. Princeton, if you need help, just step outside and call for help. I’m sure many people will lend a hand.”

“Zoe,” Melody said, looking slightly aggrieved.

However, Zoe was already impatient. She snapped, “Can you just stay the hell away from me? If you want to cry, go somewhere else. You’re blocking my light, okay? You’re really annoying and ruining my mood!”

Melody was such a downer that Zoe couldn’t stay in the classroom to finish her work. She gathered her things and got up, ready to head over to Tiffany’s apartment.

Anyway, the apartment had two floors. It would allow Zoe to study downstairs without disturbing Tiffany’s rest upstairs.

Unexpectedly, Melody caught up and patted Zoe’s shoulder from behind.

Zoe felt a sharp pain in her shoulder. She immediately checked it with her hand but found nothing. The skin on my shoulder is intact, so she wasn’t attacking me,‘ Zoe thought.

“Enough,” she huffed.

“I’m sorry, then I’ll leave you alone,” Melody said. She turned around dejectedly, feeling as if her attempt to build a good relationship with Zoe had been ruthlessly rejected.

Zoe ignored her and kept walking. Just as she reached the playground, her body suddenly tensed up. She turned around mechanically, shocked to see Melody standing behind her.

Then, Melody smiled and said to her, “Class is over. Aren’t you going home?”

“Home? Yes, I’m heading home,” Zoe replied.

Zoe walked out in a daze, carrying the account book. She didn’t notice the bump and stumbled slightly, causing the account book to fall from her hand to the ground. But she didn’t seem to care, feeling as if she were possessed.

Melody stood there, a big smirk on her face.

After using the bloodbite to control Thalia, she asked Felix for two more Obedience Poison. The best part of this bloodbite was that it was impossible for the victim to detect.

Moreover, whenever Melody felt like destroying evidence, she only needed to say a word to get the bloodbite out of Zoe. Once it left the host’s body, it would die.

And now, Zoe’s disappearance had nothing to do with her. Melody just happened to bump into her and said a few irrelevant words.

So despite the surveillance cameras all around the school, there was nothing suspicious left to be found.

‘They can trace it back to me,‘ Melody thought, chuckling.
