Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 543 - 537: Her Longing 2

This was the first time since Tiana Thorne had been around Rouge Jarvis that she saw her lose her composure like this.

The dignity and charm vanished without a trace, and the coldness radiating from her was almost murderous, her icy eyes cutting through both Maxim Ford and her.

She seemed very angry...

"Mom, I..."

"Be quiet." Rouge Jarvis rebuked softly, disappointment filling her eyes.

Tiana saw the look in her eyes, took a deep breath, and moved her lips: "Ms. Jarvis..."

"Tiana Thorne, I seem to recall quite clearly that you and my son are not yet engaged."

Maxim’s heart sank. In all these years, it was the first time he heard his mother call someone by their full name; it could only mean one thing—she was truly angry.

"Mom, it was me..."

"I know it’s you. Have you forgotten what I told you? Have you forgotten whose study this is? Is it in your mind that this sister of yours no longer exists?"

She was very emotional, clenching her fists, even trembling.

Tiana frowned slightly: "Ms. Jarvis, this has nothing to do with Maxim. I wanted to see this study. Maxim initially didn’t agree. You might not know me well, but you know I’m a woman who stops at nothing. Maxim cares about me, so he opened the door. If such actions hurt you, I apologize, but your words are too heavy indeed."

At least in her eyes and heart, her brother had never forgotten her, his sister. That’s why when she mentioned the custom-made floral dress, her brother’s emotions were so stirred.

Because he always kept her in his heart, he accepted this sister so quickly.

With Tiana’s words, she realized she had spoken too harshly but wasn’t appeased: "What do you understand? This room, as long as they’re not family of the Ford family, is forbidden to touch, especially by you."

Just as she said, she was a woman who stops at nothing.

Tiana smiled lazily, her gaze deep, watching her intently, casually saying: "It seems Ms. Jarvis values this room highly. I’m curious whose room it is."

Rouge glanced at Maxim, capturing the focus of Tiana’s words.

She didn’t know whose room it was.

Rouge took a deep breath, her gaze icy, with not a trace of warmth, her voice sharp: "You don’t need to know whose room this is. Just remember, remember your place. The belongings of the Ford family are not something you can touch as you please."

Beside her, Maxim suddenly felt his breath tighten: "Mom, that’s enough!"

Maxim was very concerned Tiana would be hurt by her words, instinctively blurting out, unconsciously raising his voice.

Rouge was taken aback...

This was the first time Maxim spoke to her in such a tone, and all for an outsider with such a strong agenda.

Does he really love Tiana Thorne that much?

Recklessly forgetting what she had once said.

Rouge was unwilling to say more, as if the deepest sanctuary of her heart had been invaded, tearing apart something she had cherished for decades.

She shifted her gaze, pointing outside, enunciating each word: "Get out, immediately, now."

Tiana gave her a deep look, gazing again at the tightly closed door behind her. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

As a fellow woman, she could almost sense the tears about to spill from her mother’s eyes.

The feeling inside her was an indescribable mix of emotions.
