The doctor trembled in fear and dared not say another word, yet he understood that this time they came only to stop the bleeding and keep her alive, that’s all.

Afterward, the doctor carried her out and cleaned up the bloodstains on the floor.

Meredith Ford watched as the floor in the hospital room became clean, the room filled with the scent of disinfectant and perfume, a hint of fragrance mixed in.

It was as if nothing had happened just now.

At this moment, Aiden Shaw suddenly looked at her.

She felt her breath catch, her legs weak, afraid that if it weren’t for being held by her sister-in-law, she would have already fallen to the ground.

The fresh fragrance in the room could not cover up the bloody smell she had smelled before.

It can’t be.

Her brothers wouldn’t treat her like this...

They had lived together for twenty years and shared deep feelings; they wouldn’t be so heartless to her.

No, they wouldn’t...

"Meredith."

Suddenly, Maxim Ford called her name.

The sound of "Meredith" made her heart tremble violently, both pain and sourness mixed. In a daze, she had a premonition that this was the last time her eldest brother would call her like that.

The last time...

He asked, "Is there anything you want to say?"

It was like giving her a chance to say her last words; the feeling was terrifying, suffocating her.

She shook her head, afraid to speak, and after a while, squeezed out a low cry: "Brother..."

He waited for her to continue speaking.

Meredith Ford opened her lips, but she didn’t know how to begin.

What could she say?

Her brothers’ hearts were already with Tiana Thorne.

But she was the sister who had lived with them for twenty years; even if they weren’t born of the same mother, could so many years of affection just be invalidated, ignored?

Why so cruel, just because Tiana is their biological sister?

Everything she did was just because she didn’t want to lose her brothers’ and mother’s love; she only lacked a sense of security and wanted their love, where was she wrong?

From beginning to end, the only one wrong was Tiana Thorne.

It was her appearance that broke the originally harmonious family of the Fords, it was her.

Maxim Ford clearly saw that there wasn’t a trace of remorse in her eyes; his voice turned cold, void of any emotion, and completely lost any compassion or affection for this sister.

"Julian has already arranged your job, considering it as the end of the twenty-year sibling bond."

Her heart filled with fear; after a while, she managed to ask, "What job?"

"To the entertainment industry, starting as a menial worker."

She murmured in shock, "Menial work..."

She, the eldest daughter of the Ford family, someone so prominent, how could she stoop so low to do menial work for others?

Wouldn’t this be a joke to others?

Especially being just a small ant doing chores, where anyone could step on her anytime.

While the Tiana she hated most was a star in the entertainment industry.

With this stark contrast, she felt off-balance inside, unable to believe how lowly she’d be living by then.

As if falling from heaven into hell, never to rise again.

The sourness and pain nearly suffocated her.

"I won’t go!"

She shouted angrily, her eyes turning red, full of grievances and pity, "For Tiana Thorne, you’re treating me like this?"

Maxim Ford looked at her without expression, without a trace of mercy.

"I once told you, after finding Poppy, you should get along with her well. Do you remember how you answered back then?"
