Chapter 690:
Tiffanyâs voice trembled, growing weaker with each word.
âI couldnât resist Miss Morgan. If I tried, sheâd sink her sharp nails into my skin. It was agonizingâ¦â
A heavy silence followed, broken only by Tiffanyâs inconsolable weeping. Suddenly, a piercing scream shattered the quiet. It was Lindsay, her voice echoing around the room.
All eyes snapped toward the commotion.
Harlee stood by Lindsay, gripping her hair tightly and hoisting her off the floor.
Her tone was icy, dripping with contempt.
âLindsay, tormenting my friend was a grave mistake. I thought you had a shred of decency, but youâve sunk to new depths of depravity.
Even calling you a monster feels like a compliment.â
With a forceful motion, Harlee thrust Lindsay forward, slamming her head against the table.
Blood burst from Lindsayâs forehead, streaming down her face like a macabre mask. Lindsay hissed through gritted teeth, âWhat the hell are you doing? Are you trying to kill me? Iâm going to call the policeââ
Before she could finish, Rhys hurled a water bottle with precise aim, striking Lindsay squarely in the mouth. The impact silenced her as blood spurted from her lips.
Harlee, now wiping her hands clean with a damp tissue, turned her attention to Tiffany.
Gently taking Tiffanyâs icy hands in hers, she chafed them softly to restore warmth.
âDo you want to go home?â Harlee asked, her voice calm and soothing.
Tiffany, her face pale as a ghost, leaned into Harlee, her eyes fluttering shut.

âYes, Harlee, I want to go home.â
âAlright, Iâll take you back,â Harlee assured her, her tone a comforting murmur amid the chaos. She led Tiffany toward her vehicle, glancing at Clint, who was following closely behind.
âClint, Iâm driving Tiffany home.â
Tiffany had no permanent residence in Baythorn, but at that moment, her only solace lay in Harleeâs reassuring presence.
She typically lodged at hotels. Therefore, the âhomeâ Harlee referred to could only mean one placeâthe Sanderson family residence.
Peering down at Tiffany with concern, Harlee gently asked, âWould you like me to take you to my place?â
Tiffany, taken aback, glanced up sharply.
âTo your place? Oh, no⦠Letâs not go there.â
Harlee didnât insist. Instead, she tenderly brushed Tiffanyâs hair aside and said in a soothing tone, âIf it makes you uneasy, we donât have to go.
But I assure you, our place has a cozy, welcoming vibe, and youâll feel like itâs your own home.â
Tiffany paused, uncertain, and then asked, âReally?â
Harlee simply nodded, giving Tiffany the time she needed to make up her mind.
After a moment, Tiffanyâs expression softened into a smile, and she nodded in agreement.
They were met with open arms once they arrived at the Sanderson family residence. Skyla enveloped Tiffany in a warm hug, engaging her in lively conversation. The dinner was equally cordial, with everyone making Tiffany feel exceptionally welcome. Tiffany experienced a sense of warmth like never before.
