Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 260 - 259: It’s Okay, She Has Time to Play with Her Slowly
"Meredith, your fourth brother is injured, yet you’re not with him. Why are you going to see Clement Xavier?"
Meredith Ford paused, slowly withdrawing her hand, her gaze scrutinizing: "Brother, what do you mean?"
"You..."
"Do you think I’m going to cause trouble for Tiana Thorne?" Meredith looked at him incredulously.
"You just need to answer me." Maxim Ford felt the answer was vital.
Meredith angrily shoved him, her face flushed as she glared at him: "Get out, I don’t want you to stay."
"Meredith!" He raised his voice, his tone grew colder.
"Fine, I’ll answer you because I like Clement Xavier. It’s not just about being a fan. We’ve arranged to meet beforehand, and it can’t be changed for anything!" Meredith said, still taking deep breaths as if containing her temper.
Maxim’s long, narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and the light within was clear, his lips pressed, his voice low: "Is that really it?"
"Otherwise? Should I go kill Tiana just because the fourth brother was injured because of her?"
Maxim said nothing, he continued to look at her without blinking.
Meredith’s heart sank bit by bit, he indeed thought of her this way.
Meredith’s expression also turned cold, disappointed and angry: "If I, Meredith Ford, want to kill someone, I’ll make sure everyone knows this person was touched by me, not sneaking around with dirty tricks, I’ll do it openly and honorably. Your reminder makes me remember it was because of her that the fourth brother was injured."
"What are you planning to do?" Maxim’s heart suddenly tightened.
"What do you want me to do? Kill her? Brother, I have killed, even if not with my own hands, it makes no difference. Don’t push me." Meredith also admitted, with coldness filling her eyes.
In that moment, Maxim dismissed his suspicion of her.
Indeed.
This sister of his, she’s hot-tempered, whatever she does is with great flair, if she truly had to do something, it would certainly be aboveboard. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Maxim breathed a sigh of relief, the last thing he wanted was for his two sisters to be irreconcilable, he reached out, gently grasping her shoulder: "It was wrong of me to think this way about Meredith."
Meredith looked into his clear, deep eyes, saw the doting light rekindle within them, then bit her lip, muttering as if acting spoiled: "Brother, giving me ungrounded accusations will make me sad."
"Don’t be upset, brother just hopes you won’t become a malicious person, understand?"
Meredith nodded in relief: "Got it."
"This was all planned by Celine Steel, it has nothing to do with Tiana, she’s also a victim, don’t shift your anger onto her." Maxim added.
Meredith smiled, joking: "Look at you worrying about her, since she’s dear to your heart, I certainly won’t trouble her."
"Meredith, you’re an understanding girl, in the future, don’t keep your spikes out, hurting others also hurts yourself." Maxim added, his voice softening considerably.
Meredith grinned playfully: "Alright, I know. Didn’t brother once say? Those who truly love and understand me can tolerate my bad habits."
Maxim nodded lightly, finally revealing a gentle smile: "Hmm."
Meredith glanced at the gift in his hand.
Maxim picked it up, waved it lightly in front of her, pressing his lips: "I’ll deliver it for you."
"Thanks, brother."
"Rest well. I’ll be off first, if anything comes up, call me." Maxim said, the weight in his heart finally lifting.
"Alright, brother, remember to say hi to second brother for me."
"Sure."
His voice remained smooth, his demeanor polite and gentle, this manner reserved only for family.
Meredith watched him leave, her beautiful almond eyes narrowing slightly, her right hand gently rubbing the back of her left hand where her brother had held it, her eyes gradually filling with amusement and playfulness.
She never intended to kill Tiana, this time was just to scare her, to give her a lesson.
However, this Tiana indeed has some skills, she originally planned to have the elevator drop a few more times, until reaching the third floor then plummet down.
This way, Tiana wouldn’t die but would certainly be disabled, forced to retire from the entertainment industry, and unable to trouble the fourth brother ever again.
Unexpectedly, she had such meticulous thoughts, illuminating all the floors, ruining her plan, most crucially, she even managed to contact brother in this situation.
She had to change the plan halfway, going barefoot down eighteen floors to avoid suspicion from her brother.
In the first round, she and Tiana both ended up injured, so in the end, she didn’t really win.
Meredith pondered, then lightly closed her eyes.
No worries, she has time to play slowly with her, meeting a smart woman is also one of life’s pleasures.
Of course, if Tiana dares to anger her again by injuring the fourth brother, she wouldn’t mind increasing the game’s difficulty, directly ensuring Tiana’s silent demise.
Just like that self-righteous maid.
Heh...
Outside the door, after Maxim stepped out, he leaned against the doorframe, silent for a long time.
He couldn’t accept Meredith harming his sister.
Because he knew, if such a thing happened, he would protect Tiana without hesitation, forsaking the other one.
At that time, Meredith would no longer be the beloved little girl he cherished.
At the doorway, handing the gift to Chloe Grant, his voice cool carrying a bit of comfort: "This is a gift from Meredith for you and Felix."
Chloe paused, wasn’t taking it.
"Take it."
She had to accept it, then said: "Thank you."
"Meredith’s mouth is a bit mean, temper a bit spoiled, but she’s not intentionally mean to you, she sincerely apologizes and hopes you’ll forgive her."
Chloe’s eyes slightly contracted, nodded: "I understand, Miss Ford is a good person, Mr. Ford, rest assured, I will take good care of Miss Ford until she recovers."
"Good."
Chloe watched his retreating figure, letting out a gentle sigh.
Such scenes weren’t just once.
She received many gifts from Miss Ford, she also knew Miss Ford’s sharp tongue was a fault spoiled from being pampered excessively.
Moreover, Miss Ford was very smart, every time after throwing a shocking tantrum, she could handle things properly, never angering her brothers, her skills were quite remarkable.
But, for some reason, even with Miss Ford being extraordinarily intelligent, vivaciously beautiful, frank and straightforward, she couldn’t truly accept and like her from the heart.
Perhaps it’s because once, while watching news about a drunken actress accidentally falling to her death in the living room with Miss Ford, everyone lamented, and Miss Ford initially seemed to feel the same.
But then, she inadvertently saw on Miss Ford’s straightforward face a sinister and bloodthirsty smile emerge.
Is Miss Ford’s heart truly not wicked?
