Everyone looked toward the door; it was the fourth master Aiden Shaw, whom everyone had been discussing.

Behind him was Meredith Ford.

Tiana Thorne’s eyes shimmered with a trace of amusement.

Everyone they expected, and those they didn’t, had arrived.

As Meredith Ford stepped into the room, she saw the scene and her face went pale, especially when she saw the disheveled Chloe Vance, instinctively wanting to retreat.

At this moment, she felt her heart was about to leap out of her chest.

How could it be like this?

She had encountered her fourth brother at the hospital entrance and asked why he had also come, but he remained silent, with an aura of coldness that was chilling, treating her as though she were air.

She was still pondering whether he had already heard the news that Tiana Thorne had died, hence his demeanor.

But now...

Tiana Thorne lazily leaned against the headboard, her smile charming as ever, with a playful curl of her lips: "Faster than I imagined—are you here to check if I’ve died completely?"

"What are you talking about? I’m just here to see my mom."

Rouge Jarvis kept silent, her mind swayed by Chloe Vance’s earlier words, her gaze fixed on the fourth face, as if trying to discern something from his eyes.

Aiden Shaw was unaware of the events at the hospital; it was roughly half an hour ago that his elder brother mentioned it briefly over the phone.

His dark brown eyes locked onto the chatting and laughing her on the bed, swallowing his throat, ignoring everyone else in the room, he strode forward and came to her side.

Tiana Thorne sensed the anger he was suppressing, her heart skipped a beat, acknowledging her guilt, she hooked her red lips into a pleasing smile, her manner seductive and alluring, her voice soft like a coquette: "Fourth brother, I... I’m sorry..."

May Sloane: "..."

Sorry?

She had been having a blast doing all this.

Now she seemed like a little lamb.

Brother Tiana is admitting fault for keeping everything from Fourth Master.

The only one in this world who can make Brother Tiana obediently confess is probably Fourth Master.

Maxim Ford and Miles Xavier acted as if they hadn’t heard, and their expressions remained unchanged.

However, others in the room: "...???"

Aiden Shaw merely gave her a deep glance before turning around to look at Chloe Vance kneeling on the ground, his calm gaze masked by an unmelting frost.

That gaze seemed like he was looking at a dying person.

Rouge Jarvis gradually believed Chloe Vance’s words.

She understood the fourth master too well; if he didn’t care deeply, why would he display such a look toward someone who hurt Tiana Thorne?

Meredith Ford’s heart also ached intensely, her eyes greedily on him, full of sorrow.

His love, why had it never been extended to her at all?

"Meredith."

Suddenly, Rouge Jarvis spoke, calling her name.

Meredith Ford’s heart trembled, she looked at her, eyes evasive: "Mom..."

"You too, kneel down."

Meredith Ford was stunned; she knew her mother’s tactics and understood her brother-in-law’s ruthlessness.

Her mother could let her kneel calmly, which could only mean Chloe Vance had confessed; this matter was beyond saving.

She stood by the wall, not moving for a while, until her brother-in-law stepped towards her, then she briskly walked to Chloe Vance’s side and kneeled down.

She had already thought of an explanation.

She was, after all, her mother’s only daughter; her mother would consider their bond and be lenient.

She only needed to obediently admit her fault and push the blame onto Chloe Vance.

Chloe Vance glanced at Meredith Ford beside her, feeling an unusually eerie atmosphere, even more frightening than when Rouge Jarvis had interrogated her earlier.

Then, looking at Aiden Shaw, she seemed to have found a reason.
