Her Story: Rise Of Tiffany

When Mélody shot a look at Giana, she immediately sprang up from her seat.

With a loud voice, she accused, "Tiffany, you're so vicious! You purposely drugged Melody to give her an allergic reaction so you could steal the spotlight!"

Giana's missing front teeth gave her words a slight lisp, making her sound almost comical, but everyone could still understand.

Ginana continued, "You act all high and mighty at school, don't you? You even knocked out my teeth! You're nothing but a bully, throwing your weight around because of your family name. It's disgusting." If her words weren't shocking enough, Giana threw a real bombshell next, leaving the guests stunned.

"You know what?" she asked. "Tiffany isn't even Mr. Kelley's daughter! Here's the paternity report. If anyone doubts me, have a look for yourselves."

She began handing out copies from her bag, spreading the papers quickly across each table.

In moments, the room buzzed with murmurs as each table examined the papers in disbelief.

"No wonder the Harper family canceled their engagement before, someone muttered. "Who would want a wife who brings nothing to the table? If she's adopted, the Kelley family's shares won't ever go to her." "True. If it were me, I wouldn't want a decorative wife who contributes nothing."

"Yes, a beautiful flower is nice, if it's kept at a distance. But for a family alliance, it should be an equal match, don't you think?"

Many of the guests who had once considered an alliance with the Kelley family quickly dismissed the idea, now seeing Tiffany as merely a pretty face with no substantial value.

In this shifting atmosphere, Melody's lips curved into a pleased smile.

Seeing this, Giana continued to fan the flames.

Giana said, "You all know where she comes from, don't you? She's always bullying others at school to prove her status. And now she's sabotaging her own sister just to steal attention for herself. "She's so scheming. No wonder Mr. Harper would rather break off the engagement than be with her. Serves her right!"

Each word dripped with malice.

Alexia even joined in, nodding approvingly. "Indeed, a woman like her would never make it into the Harper family Felicia halfheartedly tried to stop her, though her attempt was just for show. After all, the Harper family's recent trouble with tax evasion had started because of Tiffany, and Felicia hadn't forgotten this slight.

With the guests egged on by Alexia and Giana, rumors started flying as people recalled Tiffany's so-called "misdeeds" at school. "Yes, that's right! She's always acting like she owns the place," someone else chimed in. "She often bullied others in school!" "Everyone in the class was too scared to speak up, but Giana was brave enough to confront her and lost her teeth for it! It's outrageous.

43 Tue,

When Charlie returned to the hall, he froze, bewildered by the scene.

He'd only stepped out to take a few calls, and now these people were ganging up on his daughter.

This was intolerable.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Rolling up his sleeves, he charged forward, his face darkening as he barked, "What on earth is going on here? Shut up, all of you!" Giana wasn't ready to back down. "Mr. Kelley, you've got it wrong! Shouldn't you be defending Melody? She's your daughter, after all."

"Do I need your advice on that?" Charlie snapped back, his eyes catching sight of the papers in people's hands.

Furious, he summoned security and ordered, "Escort her out. And shred every last one of those papers."

Security complied without hesitation.

As Giana was hauled out, she continued to shout, "Mr. Kelley, you're blind to the truth! I'm doing this for your sake. Tiffany is vile and dangerous. You need to protect yourself from her!" "Get out," Charlie growled.

Charlie was truly furious. If someone could talk about his daughter in this setting, then people must be smearing her openly and secretly back at school. Moving over to the floor-to-ceiling window, he gently reassured Tiffany, "Don't mind them, sweetie. They're just a bunch of crazy people stirring up trouble." The more he thought about it, the angrier he grew, muttering, Losing just two teeth clearly didn't teach her anything. Maybe it's time to knock out the rest." However, after all that he had said, Tiffany remained silent.

Whether it was Giana's deliberate provocation or the crowd's whispers and pointed stares, she showed no reaction. She simply stood by the window, staring blankly ahead. The siblings' identical, dazed expressions left Charlie thoroughly puzzled. "What's going on with you two? What are you staring at so intently?"

As he spoke, he looked out of the window. When he saw it, his eyes widened.

With floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides, the view from the 38th-floor hotel rooftop offered a sweeping panorama of the landscape below.

And drifting across the skyline, dozens of colorful hot air balloons floated their way, filling the sky like a river of rainbows.

They drew closer and closer, painting the city with vibrant shades of red, pink, and blue.

Soon, the entire Lovell City skyline was filled with them, leaving pedestrians below in awe. "Look up!" someone shouted from the street. "This is amazing!"

"Oh my gosh. It's breathtaking! Who arranged this? It's a beautiful display."

Sereams of delight echoed as people whipped out their phones to capture the sight.

Inside the hotel, the guests were also flocking to the windows, gazing out in wonder. 07:43

"Oh, wow! Where did all these hot air balloons come from?"

"It's stunning. There must be over a hundred of them!"

The rainbow-colored balloons hovered closer.ser and closer.

Someone in the crowd exclaimed, "They're all headed this way. Could this be part of the Harper family's arrangement?"

"It must be."

The timing and location were all too perfect to be a coincidence. Many assumed it was an elaborate display arranged for the engagement celebration. Felicia was confused, turning to Ryan with irritation. "Why would you plan something so excessive? This must've cost a fortune."

Ryan, equally puzzled, shook his head. "It wasn't me. I wouldn't think to go this far."

They exchanged a look, each thinking the same thing, 'Could it have been Kenneth?'

With this assumption, they merely smiled as the guests congratulated them, letting the misunderstanding linger.

The guests, more impressed than ever, murmured among themselves.

This wedding was almost overly grand. Just the sight of hundreds of hot air balloons drifting across the sky showed its scale.

Initially, everyone thought this union was mostly about business, but seeing all this romantic flair, it was clear that the Harper family was entirely considerate.

Seeing the breathtaking display, Melody herself was flushed with excitement.

Just moments ago, she had been upset with Kenneth, but now, seeing the balloons, she thought he must have been late because he was preparing this surprise for her. On the stage, the bride-to-be glowed wi
