Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 552 - 546: Sweet and Honeyed (Part 3)

The three of them were sitting far apart, especially Meredith Ford, who was crying softly on the sofa.

May Sloane felt a sinking sensation in her heart, always feeling that nothing good happens when Meredith Ford is around.

Rouge Jarvis and Maxim Ford were sitting on the main sofa.

May looked around puzzled, wondering why Aiden Shaw wasn’t there.

"Miss Thorne, please sit down," Rouge Jarvis spoke.

Tiana Thorne glanced at the sofa and, without any fear, walked towards Maxim and sat down beside him, wearing a sweet and obedient smile, calling him, "Brother Max~"

Meredith: "..."

Her hands clenched into fists tightly. She had always been calm and composed in her actions, never leaving any trace, and this was the first time she lost her composure, wishing she could tear her apart.

How could she?

Just ten minutes ago, she was sitting in the arms of Fourth Brother laughing and chatting, looking seductive, yet now she can effortlessly sit beside Big Brother, with stars dazzling in her eyes as if he was the only one in them.

At this moment, she finally understood why Tiana Thorne could rise so quickly in the entertainment industry.

Her acting was too good, deceiving everyone.

Tiana looked at her mother, smiled, and said, "Ms. Jarvis, I and my agent came to bid you farewell. Sorry for bothering you these past days." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Rouge Jarvis did not respond, lightly pursing her lips and called, "Honey."

Meredith looked at her mother, filled with reluctance yet quickly displayed sincerity. She stood up and walked step by step towards Tiana.

Tiana sat motionless in the chair, composed and smiling charmingly.

Meredith’s steps were light, as she came before her, slightly lowering her head, hands clasped at her abdomen, speaking very gently, "Miss Thorne, thank you for not pursuing the wrongs I did to you in Azurea. I’ve thought a lot these days, and indeed, I was wrong back then."

Driven by her mother to apologize to her, it’s true the Ford family’s upbringing was excellent.

Clearly, her mother was angry about her entering Poppy’s room before, but now could act as if nothing happened and demand her daughter to apologize.

Meredith did not hear her speak, lightly biting her lip, she continued, "In the hall, I’ve reflected a lot, when I was young because Second Brother disliked me, I wanted to teach you a lesson, and grown up because Big Brother adored you, I scared you, nearly ending you in the elevator. My jealousy is too strong, and I will reflect well in the future and not make the same mistakes again."

"Is Miss Ford sincerely apologizing to me?"

With tears in her eyes, Meredith spoke very emotionally, "I am sincere, I thought I’d never leave the hall again, but you bore no grudge, persuaded Big Brother and gave me freedom again, this time, I’ll cherish it."

She curled her lips into a smile, "You also said, I bore no grudge."

Meredith hadn’t expected her to be so easily agreeable, momentarily unsure what to say.

Rouge Jarvis watched the subtle interaction between the two, thoughtfully fanning her small fan.

May looked at Meredith, having to admit, if Meredith were to become an actress, she would certainly become hugely successful. If she hadn’t heard Meredith had a huge fight with Mr. Ford over Brother Aiden, her appearance now indeed made one feel she had laid down the knife and turned back on her own accord.

Tiana lazily crossed her legs, observing her steadily, raising her brows, a hint of indifference.

After yawning, she lazily said, "I heard that if you keep resenting someone, your mood inadvertently becomes unhappy, and when unhappy, facial expressions suffer too, and over time, inevitably you’ll develop wrinkles."

When she said this, all the women in the room, including the maids, instinctively flashed a slight smile, making their facial expressions less awkward.

Meredith did not understand the purpose of her words.

Then, Tiana slowly said, "You should remember, I forgive you not because I’m kind, or because you’re sincere, but for my beauty."

May couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

Maxim remained unmoved, yet her words stirred him slightly, his gaze softening, a hint of helpless indulgence.

Meredith’s expression froze for a moment, "Regardless, Miss Thorne has forgiven me, and thank you, for giving me a chance to reform."

She nodded lightly, her smile generous and elegant, and looked at Rouge Jarvis, "Since there’s nothing else, I’ll leave with May."

Rouge Jarvis played with the fan, "Miss Thorne, Meredith hasn’t finished speaking, don’t be in a hurry."

"Oh, I’m all ears."

"Earlier when I went to find you, my intention was to apologize, but I caught you seducing my Fourth Brother, the scene was unbearable, and I don’t wish to elaborate..."

Meredith took a deep breath, her gaze becoming sharp, at that moment her demeanor was like a high and mighty swan looking down at her, "Given you’re my Big Brother’s girlfriend, yet did such a thing, I speak up for Big Brother, and you must apologize to my Big Brother."

So, this was the crux.

Tiana turned her head towards Big Brother, blinking, her eyes purely magnificent, softly asking, "Brother Max, do you believe what she said?"

Meredith was not flustered by her question, forcefully said, "Big Brother, how could I falsely accuse without seeing it with my own eyes? You trust her as an actress! Deep affection, coldness, or sadness is within her reach, only what she doesn’t want to act, there’s nothing she can’t perform."

"Oh, Miss Ford is actually my fan." Tiana suddenly realized, looking at May, lazily said, "Pretty girl, give her one of my signed photos."

"Yes."

Rouge Jarvis’s gaze was fixated on Tiana the entire time, trying to find a flaw, but she found none on that beautiful face, no trace of panic, as though it truly was Meredith slandering her.

"No need." Meredith sternly refused.

May shrugged, didn’t hand it to her.

Tiana lightly curled her lips, playing with her fingernails, "It’s understandable for Miss Ford to misunderstand, after all, I’m your Big Brother’s girlfriend and yet in Fourth Brother’s room,"

"I saw it myself, you were sitting in his arms, how could it be a misunderstanding?" Meredith previously apologized sincerely, but as long as it concerned Aiden, the unique calmness vanished immediately.

The look in Maxim’s eyes turned cold, his voice deep and cold, "Tiana, is what Meredith said true?"

She paused playing with her fingernails, a hint of cunning flickering in her eyes.

The real acting moment came~

Amidst the thoughts, her expression turned somewhat sad, seemingly unable to believe Maxim would doubt her, she turned around, "Brother Max, are you questioning me?"

PS: Earlier it was mentioned that Fourth Brother rubbed the tiger’s mouth of the little fox, which is between the thumb and index finger on the back of the hand (if you really like someone, you will unconsciously make such small gestures, this is a detail, highlight the key points for exams!)
