Her Revenge From Shadow to Sunlight novel Chapter 112

Hugh had no choice but to lie. “Mr. Sherman, you probably don’t know this, but Tiffany and Alicia actually had the same art teacher. I had them both learning to paint together, but I never thought that once Alicia found out Tiffany was the Sweetheart Queen online, she’d try to steal that title for herself.”

Bruce frowned, “Alright, got it. Mr. West still hasn’t picked his student. I asked him in private, but he said he needed more time to think it through.”

“Understood, Mr. Sherman. Thanks for all your effort. Don’t worry. I promised you, and I’ll see it through,” Hugh added before ending the call.

As soon as the call ended, Hugh’s face turned stormy.

He didn’t even bother with work anymore. Grabbing his car keys, he rushed straight home.

As soon as he got home, Hugh burst in, fury written all over his face. “Where’s Tiffany?” he asked.

Maria was taken aback by Hugh’s angry expression. “What’s going on? Why are you so mad at Tiffany? You’ll scare her.”

“Where is she?” Hugh demanded, cutting Maria off before she could finish.

Maria finally answered, “She’s resting in her room. She fainted today. And let me tell you. Alicia is still causing trouble. She bullied Tiffany again. You really need to stand up for Tiffany. You…”

“Bring Tiffany here,” Hugh interrupted sharply, not letting Maria finish.

Maria was taken aback by his stern tone and didn’t dare say another word. She hurried to Tiffany’s room.

Tiffany knew she screwed it up again. Hearing that Hugh wanted to see her made her so scared that she felt like she was going to fall apart. She reached out and grabbed Maria’s hand. “Mom, I’m scared.”

Maria gently squeezed her hand. “Don’t be afraid. I’m right here with you,” she reassured Tiffany.

Tiffany was shaking. She knew there was no way to avoid the confrontation. She thought, ‘If I just admit my mistake, Dad probably won’t be too hard on me. After all, I’m his real daughter, and Mom will back me up.

Gritting her teeth, she followed Maria downstairs.

As soon as Tiffany saw Hugh, her voice trembled as she called out, “Dad.”

Without warning, Hugh slapped her across the face with all his might.

Tiffany fell to the floor, her face stinging fiercely. Five red finger marks stood out starkly on her cheek, and her entire face began to swell almost immediately.

Tiffany stared at Hugh, completely stunned. She couldn’t believe he’d actually done that.

Maria stood there for a few seconds, frozen in shock, before she snapped out of it.

She rushed over to Tiffany, helping her up as she scolded, “Hugh, what the hell are you doing? Why would you hit Tiffany?”

“Oh sweetie, look at you. Your face is all swollen up,” Maria fretted, gently blowing on Tiffany’s cheek.

Tiffany sat on the floor, head down, tears welling up in her eyes but stubbornly holding them back. She looked so pitiful that Maria’s heart ached even more for her.

Maria couldn’t hold back her own tears either.

Hugh glared at Tiffany coldly. “Everything was set. Who gave you the right to decide on your own and get Alicia’s painting sent in without my permission?”

Tiffany’s heart ached. That slap instantly dragged her back to those dark days when she’d been trafficked, when every moment was filled with fear and pain.

She really thought that once she finally came home, happiness would be waiting for her. She never thought that she’d still have to endure getting beaten.

It finally dawned on her that her so–called real parents didn’t really love her at all. They were only nice to her because she was useful. The second she lost her value, she’d get thrown away, just like what happened to Alicia.

Tiffany made a silent promise to herself, ‘No way. I won’t be pushed aside again. One day, this whole family will be mine. I’ll be the queen of this house. Once I’m on top, no one will dare to hurt me or mess with me again.

‘I haven’t made it yet. For now, I just have to hold on and swallow it.

Swallowing her pride, Tiffany got herself up and knelt before Hugh, shuffling on her knees until she reached his feet. She begged, “Dad, I’m sorry… I know it was my fault. I really do. Please help me just this once. I swear, from now on, I’ll do whatever you say and never make decisions on my own again.”

Tiffany sobbed, “Dad, I know you’ve been under a lot of stress. I just wanted to help. I thought if I could blame Alicia for stealing the painting, she’d be banned from the art world and have to come back and work for me. I didn’t expect she’d send her painting to Mr. West before me.”

Hugh scoffed coldly, “You’re so stupid. Today was the worst possible time to make a scene. And do you even know where your own painting came from?

“You should be thankful she didn’t expose you first. But you went after her anyway? I’ve been helping you, and you still mess things up for yourself.”

“I won’t ever dare do anything like that again,” Tiffany whispered, biting her lip and staring at the floor. “Dad, please just help me one more time. I promise I’ll listen to you from now on.”

Maria had no idea what was going on. She went to the bathroom at the time and when she came back, she just thought Alicia was bullying Tiffany again. She didn’t know anything else had happened.

Even at home, Maria was only focused on comforting Tiffany. She didn’t ask what really happened, so when Hugh and Tiffany started talking about it, Maria was totally lost.
