These eight words hit Meredith Ford like a thunderbolt, breaking her usual calm and wisdom; she stared in shock, eyes wide.

"Impossible... how can it be?"

Rouge Jarvis was equally shocked, nearly fainting, her hands clenched tightly, forcibly suppressing the emotions flooding her. She took a deep breath, "Whose paternity test is it?"

Tiana Thorne replied earnestly, "It’s the paternity test between me and my elder brother."

Rumble—

The sentence made Meredith Ford collapse completely, all rationality vanishing, "Impossible, how can it be? It must be you! It’s your scheme, you deceive us, deceive my elder brother, how can you be Celia Ford? Absolutely impossible!"

However, no one paid attention to her.

The room was very quiet, no one spoke, seemingly contemplating the authenticity of Tiana Thorne’s words, only Meredith Ford was yelling madly.

Silence lingered for a long time.

Rouge Jarvis stood up from the sofa, not knowing whether to believe or not, her heart trembling violently. Suddenly, she stood up from the sofa.

Then, she quickly walked to the bedside and shoved Aiden Shaw aside.

Aiden Shaw’s empty hand gently squeezed but then dropped, standing by the side.

Her voice was hoarse, "When was the paternity test done? Who did it?"

Tiana Thorne looked at her mother’s eyebrows and eyes, and answered softly, "It was done a long time ago, my elder brother did it."

Chloe Vance became increasingly terrified as she listened.

She was meant to kill the person who cuckolded Maxim Ford, but how did it turn into the Ford family’s long-lost eldest daughter?

How come she had never heard that the Ford family had another eldest daughter apart from Meredith Ford?

And Meredith Ford was more anxious than ever, unable to bear others taking her place, glaring at Tiana Thorne, "It’s you, it must be you who made a fake paternity test to confuse my elder brother, what is your intention?"

Meredith Ford’s words rather reminded Rouge Jarvis.

She couldn’t blindly believe what Tiana Thorne said; throughout history, there have been fewer cases of impostors in wealthy families?

She needed one hundred percent verification.

Even thinking rationally like this, her eyes had already developed a shallow mist. She turned to look at Maxim Ford, "Is what Tiana Thorne said true?"

Everyone turned their gaze to Maxim Ford.

This was the crucial matter in recognizing kin.

Maxim Ford stood up, meeting his mother’s hopeful yet skeptical eyes, nodding slowly, "Yes."

Rouge Jarvis’s breath caught.

Maxim Ford’s voice continued, "At first, she found me; I thought she was up to no good, but she called me brother, and even mentioned the floral dress issue..."

"Floral dress..." Rouge Jarvis’s heart stirred violently, her vision gradually blurring, body trembling lightly.

Maxim Ford swallowed, feeling sorrow for his mother, paused for a moment, and then continued, "At first, I didn’t fully believe it, but the Ford family children, when born, all wore clothes tailor-made with the exclusive scent of Incense Soul, and my sister’s was merely a floral dress that could only wrap around her. This matter was known only to mom, dad, and us, so I took her for a paternity test."

This sentence was like a slap on Meredith Ford’s face. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

The paternity test was done personally by Maxim Ford; how could Tiana Thorne fake it?

Maxim Ford came fully prepared; he took out a folded medical report from his trouser pocket.
