Tiana Thorne opened her lips, her voice calm: "Cousin, it’s not really about forgiveness or not, he was also deceived by Meredith Ford. When it comes down to it, he’s also a pitiful person. Overnight, he lost two sisters, and his own sister still doesn’t know where she is."

Joshua Jarvis, within a single day, lost a biological sister and also lost Meredith Ford, whom he had thought of as a sister for so many years.

Calling him pitiful is not wrong at all.

Listening to her words, Sebastian Ford felt a tinge of melancholy in his heart.

No one expected such a dramatic thing to happen to them.

"Tiana, as long as he doesn’t help Meredith Ford do bad things to hurt you, he will still be my cousin."

Tiana Thorne smiled, her heart full of emotion: "Yes, I also believe that once he knows I’m Poppy, he won’t hurt me anymore."

"So, are you willing to see him?"

Tiana Thorne said, "No, it’s not that I hate him, but because he still has Meredith Ford in his heart, and she and I are like enemies. What could we say if we met? Say sorry? And what significance would that have? It’s never been him who should apologize to me. Doing so would just make the relationship between us cousins awkward, so it’s better not to meet."

Her thoughts were exactly what he had guessed.

Precisely because of this, he refused his cousin to see her.

"I’ve already told mother about cousin’s matter. With her temperament, she would probably ground him."

She nodded: "Yes."

Sebastian Ford’s voice softened: "Little sister, if there’s nothing else, you should rest. I’ll call the fourth brother."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Tiana Thorne sighed deeply, looking at May Sloane beside her: "What is emotion in this world? It only brings headaches and heartache." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

If people’s hearts were like stones, indifferent, there wouldn’t be so many complicated things in the world.

May Sloane, not being directly involved, couldn’t comment on the matter, so she chatted about other things: "I just learned that Meredith Ford was fired by the crew of ’Shining’. After thinking it over, it probably was your fifth brother’s doing."

Tiana Thorne chuckled at this.

"Now it’s getting interesting, Meredith Ford has lost her last job, and cousin will be grounded by mom. The show is about to start."

May Sloane pondered over this: "Yeah, do you think she might really end up begging on the streets?"

Tiana Thorne shook her head: "No."

She knew Meredith Ford too well. Even if she were down to this point, she still has her pride and would never allow herself to become a beggar looked down upon by others.

Curious, May Sloane asked: "So then?"

"A person who doesn’t know how to make choices, who has lived a carefree life like a pampered bird, will surely try every way to live that life again. Since returning to the Fu or Jarvis families is impossible, I guess she’ll probably take shortcuts."

"Shortcuts..."

May Sloane murmured, not continuing with the topic.

Having walked through numerous paths in the entertainment industry, she quickly understood the meaning.

"Beauty, give me a slice of watermelon."

May Sloane nodded: "Sure."

Tiana Thorne munched on watermelon, leaning half against the bed, she opened her phone and checked Twitter for real-time updates.

At the same time, the fourth brother’s Twitter had new updates.

He deleted the previous tweet he retweeted for her callout and retweeted a new one, alongside with a line of text.
