Chapter 396
He had bought this drug at a high price but had never used it. He heard that it was quite effective. When he saw Tiffany today, something was starting up in his mind and he eagerly wanted to try how Richard's woman tasted. Therefore, he stopped the servant and personally delivered the juice to her. The plan was perfect. As long as Tiffany was drugged, even the most aloof beauty would have to beg him obediently.
If he was pursued later, he could claim that it was Tiffany who seduced him but there was nothing they could do. However, to Riley's surprise, Tiffany had been well-prepared, and also a tough woman who could fight. He was filled with regret as he threw up pathetically. However, the more he tried to vomit it out, the faster the blood flowed. That nauseous feeling had already surged up, and even his consciousness was becoming blurry. Riley felt like he was on the verge of death. He lost his mind and pounced on Tiffany desperately as he muttered, "Baby, come on. Help me..."
'Who the hell do you think you are?' Tiffany kicked him in the face and turned to leave.
However, Riley had already gone crazy. He had been stalking her all the way and acted like a psycho.
Coincidentally, at this moment, Hank and Richard came out of the study and happened to pass by this garden. So, this scene was captured.
Hank was stunned in a daze. Even though he did not like Tiffany, it was still an unbearable humiliation to him and to the whole Hampton family that his grandson became a disgusting freak in public. This was a scandal, a huge scandal!
Hank was concerned about the Hampton family's reputation. But as for Richard, almost instantly, the fury surged up in his heart and his eyes were filled with killing flames.
On the stone path in the garden, Riley was freaking out again. Tiffany was about to kick him back as a tall figure came out of nowhere. In a flash, Riley was kicked to the ground.
Richard was emitting an imposing aura and his eyes were almost bloodshot. After a few punches landed, Riley's face was unrecognizable. He also probably got some bones broken. Even so, Richard did not intend to let him off in his rage. Then he kicked Riley into the lake again.
After falling into the water, Riley's mind finally sobered up a little. Waving his arms in panic, he hurriedly screamed for help, "Help... Help! Help... me." Up and down in the water, he choked.
Hank's vision got clouded and he almost fainted from anger again.
A servant rushed over to save Riley. But Richard stood by the shore with a murderous aura. His dark and deep eyes even have the slightest mercy, only endless ruthlessness and coldness. "Nobody moves."
No one dared to disobey his simple two words.
Riley was still struggling in the water and the commotion attracted all the people in the front hall.
did not
When Carter, Riley's father, Hank's fourth son, saw this scene, he was instantly enraged. He roared at the servants, "What are you doing? Hurry up and go down. Save him!"
However, no one dared to move. The entire Hampton family was ruled by Richard. Whoever dared to disobey his orders was courting death.
Helplessly struggling in the water, Riley saw his father, his savior and hurriedly stretched out his hand. "Dad, save me, please save me. I... I can't..."
The center of the lake was very deep. Riley knew how to swim, but his serious injuries made him unable to exert any strength at all. Soon, he sank.
Seeing that the water was drowning his son's head, Carter snatched the pole from the servant. Unfortunately, it was too short to reach the center of the lake, so he had no choice but to jump down himself. After a while, he really brought his son out.
However, a hopelessly drowning person always went mad and might get things worse. The moment Riley got his head above the water, he hugged his father's neck tightly and refused to let go. He even stepped on Carter's back desperately in an attempt to breathe the air.
In a mess, both father and son sank into the water again. Now, no one was saved but they got a brand new victim.
Hank rubbed his head and walked to Richard. "I'll make an apology to the Kelley family properly for this matter, but that's your brother and nephew after all. Let them come up, okay?"
"It's peaceful only when they both die." Richard was so angry that he laughed. His handsome face revealed a gloomy and ruthless expression.
To him, this punishment had been his greatest tolerance and mercy. This was because Tiffany had not been touched. Otherwise, he would have directly cut Riley into pieces!
Hank shook his head and sighed. He knew his son's temperament. Richard was blind and merciless once his bottom line was offended.
As the water was getting quiet and calm, Hank had no choice but to look at Tiffany with pleading. He was asking for leniency and hoping that she could persuade Richard.
Tiffany did not expect things to turn out this way. She had poured the drugged beverage into the ill-intentioned Riley just to give him a lesson. But she was immune to all poisons. Even if she really drank it, she would be fine. However, Richard happened to see this scene and went so far just to uphold justice for her.
Tiffany thought for a moment and tiptoed to whisper into Richard's ear. "I'm fine. Let them go. There are too many people here. I'm afraid that it will affect your reputation. Anyway... we never lack the ways to deal with them."
Richard's method was indeed extreme and would definitely ruin his image even more now that the public had regarded him ás a heartless, cold-blooded, and ruthless tyrant.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Tiffany felt heartbroken that people all gave him these negative and slanderous labels. But she knew that Richard was the best man ever in this world. Those people were blind!
Richard's eyes moved slightly. He lowered his head and saw her eyes filled with worry and concern, which made Richard quite glad and comforted, so he replied calmly, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
As soon as the pardon was issued, the servants immediately jumped into the water. A few minutes later, they saved Carter and Riley, who had almost fainted from drowning.
They had their lives safe and sound but received an unforgettable lesson.
Although the family banquet had been destroyed, Richard hugged Tiffany's waist and left nonchalantly. This time, no matter how Hank called his name behind him, he did not look back and kept his back upright.
After the two of them got into the car, Tiffany wanted to explain her actions today. However, before she could say anything, she was already in his arms.
He looked at her and said softly, "I'm happy."
