"Afterwards, it’s your own choice. As long as it doesn’t harm Poppy, how you teach her to be a good person is your business. As for the previous matters..."

He paused, showing a mysterious smile, half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Even if ignorance excuses one from guilt, you still committed the error of blindly trusting her without verifying the truth. A mere apology won’t suffice. Rest assured, those who deserve punishment won’t escape it."

Joshua Jarvis nodded: "Okay."

After Sebastian Ford left, he called the production crew, politely saying: "Hello, I’m looking for Meredith Ford."

"She made a mistake today and has already been fired."

Upon hearing this, Joshua Jarvis’ face turned pale: "What?!"

"Sir, she seems to have offended some big shot, so no need for you to go to any trouble."

Joshua Jarvis frowned and asked: "Do you know when she left the crew?"

"Over two hours ago."

"Alright, thank you."

After hanging up, Joshua Jarvis left the café.

He wanted to find Meredith Ford, to prevent her from harming Poppy again.

...

Tiana Thorne lay on the hospital bed, bored, when a call from Sebastian Ford came in.

"Hello, Fifth Brother."

Listening to her voice, Sebastian Ford’s previously annoyed mood improved greatly: "Little Sister, I’ve recovered the Weibo account."

Tiana’s beautiful fox-like eyes curved slightly as she praised immediately: "Wow, my Fifth Brother is amazing~"

He chuckled softly on the other end, his voice fresh and pleasant.

Finally no longer the bizarre sound processed by equipment, listening to it made her feel comfortable. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Now, what do you plan to do?"

Tiana replied without thinking: "Give WeChat to Fourth Brother, he likely knows better what to do."

"Alright."

Then, Tiana softly asked: "Fifth Brother, was it him who stole Fourth Brother’s Weibo?"

"Yes."

Indeed, Fifth Brother’s suspicion was correct, it really was him.

Tiana frowned: "Why did he do it?"

Summarizing his earlier talk with Joshua Jarvis, Sebastian Ford explained: "He didn’t realize you were Poppy. Meredith Ford misled him, making him think you were the culprit who got her expelled from the family, hence his actions against you."

She pondered for a while before asking: "Did you tell him Meredith Ford isn’t his biological sister?"

"I did."

Tiana remained silent, contemplating that Joshua Jarvis, upon realizing he was used, must be feeling bad. She wondered about his attitude toward Meredith Ford.

"Tiana."

"Hmm?"

For him, Joshua Jarvis held special significance. Lightly biting her lip, she spoke for him: "He won’t cut ties with Meredith Ford for now, which is understandable. From his perspective, Meredith Ford has been his sister for twenty years. As her brother, he only wishes to educate her with care and make her into a good person."

After speaking, not hearing her reply, he added: "Actually, Joshua Jarvis and Meredith Ford are just like Big Brother and you. If such a thing happened between you two, Big Brother wouldn’t accept it right away. He’d always want to lend a hand, eventually as fate wills."

"I know."

"However, Cousin promised not to hurt you. Just from this incident, after learning the truth, he felt very guilty already. Can you forgive him?"
