Chapter 697

Tiffany hadn’t seen Molly in a few days.

Ever since Molly had turned Jeffrey in, Tiffany had stopped following news about the Ruiz family.

Tiffany had heard, however, that Jeffrey’s wife had made a scene several times, sitting at the entrance of the Cedar Ridge Villa to cause trouble. Eventually, after repeated attempts, Jeffrey’s wife was thrown out by the security team at Thalia’s orders.

Jeffrey’s trial moved quickly. He had attempted murder, escaped custody, injured a forest ranger, and even assaulted the ranger’s daughter.

The charges stacked up, and he was sentenced to death.

When the verdict was announced, Jeffrey’s wife caused even more chaos. On the worst day of her protests, it was revealed that Jeffrey’s company had collapsed. His secretary had run off with a large sum of money, and investigations revealed the two had been in a secret relationship.

The Ruiz family fell apart under the weight of the scandal and the debts left behind.

Tiffany came downstairs to find Molly waiting on the sofa.

Hearing footsteps, Molly stood up with a smile. “Little cousin, it’s been days since I last saw you. You’ve lost weight

Tiffany smiled faintly and sat down. “I haven’t had much of an appetite lately.” Without hesitation, she asked, “Cousin, are you here for help?”

Tiffany had heard about the Ruiz family’s downfall. Thalia had made it clear she wouldn’t do more than ens survival. If Molly was here, it must be related to that.

But Molly shook her head. “No, the company’s debts have mostly been cleared by selling off properties and assets. That’s not why I’m here,”

Tiffany nodded, waiting for her to explain.

“I’m going abroad to study,” Molly said. “You know my father never supported the research field I was passionate about. Now while I’m still young, I want to try again. I came to say goodbye”

Tiffany’s eyes softened. “That’s a great idea. When are you leaving?”

“Tomorrow.”

“So soon?” Tiffany was surprised.

Tiffany had always seen Molly as a quiet, obedient girl, someone who rarely pushed back against her parents. Even when Molly wanted something different, she’d be scolded by Jeffrey and his wife and quickly retreat to her compliant ways.

Now, with the family in ruins, Molly seemed free. There was no sign of defeat in her demeanor, only determination and hope.

“You’ve changed, Tiffany remarked.
