Raising a cat or dog, they accompany you for years, and once they’re gone, you can’t forget them. How much more for a person?

She doesn’t believe these burdens should be borne by her brothers alone. It’s just that Meredith Ford is so hateful.

Even if she returned to the Ford family, she couldn’t make room for a girl who spent years accompanying her parents and brothers.

Meredith Ford cut off her own retreat; she only feels sorry for these brothers.

So the next words from mom will surely make him uncomfortable.

Rouge Jarvis’s eyes were full of coldness, devoid of any softness: "Meredith Ford used others to commit murder, almost killing Tiana."

Upon hearing this, Sebastian Ford was suddenly stunned.

He really couldn’t imagine why Meredith Ford would do such a thing.

Rouge Jarvis’s eyes filled with tears, her grip trembled slightly as she took a deep breath.

After a while, she finally said to him: "She’s always wanted to kill Tiana, not just once. Your big brother and second brother stopped her the first time. This time, if we hadn’t discovered her plan early, Poppy would never have come back."

Sebastian Ford’s lips moved: "Mom..."

Unable to say any comforting words, he could only softly call out to her.

He knows better than anyone how much his mother misses Poppy.

Poppy’s disappearance hit her hard.

When he first started hacking, he secretly hacked into his mother’s email to see the letters she wrote to Poppy.

Back then, he was only seventeen, but those words were etched in his heart, making him suffer alongside his mother.

For a while, his mother was seriously depressed, and he found her emails full of letters about wanting to die with Poppy, even a suicide note.

His hacking into her email was discovered by her.

She didn’t get angry with him; instead, she shared her thoughts with him.

His mother, who seemed glamorous on the outside, had actually long had a heart full of wounds, so he chatted with her daily, telling her that Poppy would definitely come back.

He wanted his mother to be happy and joyful again, so he hoped even more for Poppy’s return.

He imagined the day when Poppy really did come back, standing beside his mother, holding her hand, dispelling the darkness that threatened to engulf her.

If Meredith Ford had destroyed all of that, he could never forgive her.

Rouge Jarvis told him everything Meredith Ford had done.

First, she tortured and killed Chantal.

Then she caused second brother’s voice to be ruined.

Lastly, she tried repeatedly to kill Poppy.

Including the fact that she wasn’t really aunt’s daughter, and that she drank human blood at the grave of a dead girl.

Each deed was so heinous, so repulsive, it left one in shock.

Yet, without direct evidence, there was no way to imprison her, so second brother used the most cruel method for her, stripping her of her noble identity.

This way, she’d forever be trampled under Poppy’s feet, never to rise again.

"Fifth brother, with such a Meredith Ford, do you still want her to reconcile with Poppy and become a part of the Ford family?"

Sebastian Ford furrowed his brows tight, his hands clenched into fists, joints turning slightly pale, but his voice remained gentle, as if soothing her: "Mom, I’m very sorry."

She sighed: "It’s not your fault. You didn’t know her true nature. If I hadn’t seen with my own eyes how she tried to attack Tiana, how could I believe the daughter I raised for twenty years was a demon in her bones."

Sebastian Ford looked at his sister and pointed out the key: "Perhaps, she is the catalyst of the conspiracy planned twenty years ago."
