"This matter has to start from twenty years ago."

Rouge Jarvis was slightly startled: "..."

She had betrayed Maxim, how could it be related to something from twenty years ago?

After speaking, Tiana Thorne was silent for a few seconds.

Aiden Shaw held her hand, his long thumb gently rubbing her palm, his voice low and warm: "I’m here."

Tiana looked up at him, their eyes met, as if it gave her the courage to reveal the truth of all these years.

Rouge Jarvis didn’t interrupt, listening to her continue.

For some reason, there was an inexplicable sense in her heart, an intuition that what she was about to say would be an earth-shattering secret.

To Meredith Ford, this scene was very glaring.

She couldn’t stand other women looking at her fourth brother with such affectionate eyes.

Even more unbearable was that her fourth brother didn’t shy away, giving all the gentleness she’d never seen to Tiana Thorne.

Tiana Thorne was unworthy!

If she couldn’t stop other women from seducing her fourth brother, she’d just have to gouge out his eyes so he could never look at another woman again.

Her thoughts were nearly twisted, her fingernails digging painfully into her palm, striving to restrain herself and not act impulsively.

But the more it was like this, the more she wanted to control him.

Amidst her thoughts, Tiana Thorne’s voice rose.

"Twenty years ago, I was born into a wealthy family, with parents and a brother who adored me. However, a wicked woman appeared in the hospital, and while my brother was still young and my mother weak from childbirth, she stole me away."

Hearing this, Rouge Jarvis was stunned, her gaze trembling as she looked at her.

What does this mean...?

Tiana continued: "Before I turned twenty, I didn’t know that I wasn’t my parents’ biological daughter. Later..."

She recounted everything she’d experienced over the years, exactly as Ms. Jarvis had mentioned, leaving nothing out.

From a young age, she grew up in an unjust family, where her mother only had eyes for her sister. No matter how well she did, she was always seen as supporting greenery for her sister in her mother’s eyes.

In this family, only her father truly loved her and treated her as the apple of his eye.

But since her father was often away for work, at home, her mother ruled. She was bullied, abused, and covered in wounds.

She always lacked maternal love, and family affection was a luxury for her.

Eventually, she chose to enter the entertainment industry; since her mother didn’t love her, she worked hard in showbiz to be loved by fans, just wanting to live better. Unfortunately, her mother never gave her a chance.

When she became wildly successful, afraid she would overshadow her sister, her mother plotted her ruin, collaborating with media to fabricate and hype up false scandals day and night, leading to her downfall.

Later, she discovered that her mother wasn’t her biological mother.

At this point, her eyes were slightly moist, her nose slightly sore, and her eyes seemed filled with the world’s softest tenderness as she looked at Rouge Jarvis.

Listening to her story and remembering the first thing she said, Rouge Jarvis softened her voice, staring at her without blinking.

She just felt that her exquisite and enchanting features bore a closer resemblance to hers.

Tiana Thorne swallowed, revealing two small dimples, smiling sweetly as her vision blurred: "As I investigated this matter, I discovered I am the Ford family’s long-lost Poppy, your biological daughter."

Meredith Ford’s face went pale, roaring, "Tiana Thorne, you’re talking nonsense. Celia Ford already died twenty years ago! How could you possibly be her?!"
