Open Marriage, Broken Promises: When Love Turns to Ashes novel Chapter 103

Although my father had paid for Tiffany's tuition fees while she studied abroad, her extravagant,

hedonistic lifestyle overseas—filled with endless indulgences—was undeniably funded by real money.

Even if Jackson, the driver, scrimped and saved every penny he earned and gave it all to Tiffany, it would still be far from enough.

"I... I think I might know..."

A girl timidly raised her hand, her voice trembling as she spoke softly.

"When I was studying abroad, I saw several older men visiting Tiffany's apartment on different occasions. She was probably earning money by... doing that kind of business."

A hush fell over the crowd.

Everyone knew exactly what she meant by "that kind of business."

At that moment, Tiffany's carefully curated facade completely crumbled.

"You..."

When I heard this, I felt both shocked and appalled.

I could barely contain my anger toward her actions—an overwhelming sense of disappointment surged within me.

"You... Jackson worked tirelessly to put you through school, hoping you'd make something of yourself. How could you do this to him?"

Tiffany, however, seemed resigned to her downfall and no longer cared to deny it. She shouted back, her voice filled with defiance:

"What right do you have to lecture me? You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth! You've always had whatever you wanted and will never know what it's like to be poor!

Why is it that others get to live in luxurious apartments and carry designer handbags, while I'm stuck scrimping and saving?"

She continued, her voice growing more venomous,

"The reason I ended up like this is all because of that useless father of mine! If he had just made more money, would I have had to sell my body? I never want to see him again—not ever!"

I didn't know what to say.

At that moment, the manager came rushing over, his face pale with panic, and whispered something into my ear.

Hearing his words, my face darkened. I turned to Tiffany and said, "You... won't ever get the chance to see Jackson again."

Tiffany's head snapped up, her pupils constricting.
