Of course, aside from these factors, he also had personal reasons for hiding Tiana’s identity.

Just like Julian said, Tiana has too many brothers...

He wanted to take this opportunity to spend more time alone with Tiana.

Rouge Jarvis heard him admit his mistakes calmly, but did not see any genuine remorse in his eyes, pointed at the floor, and said coldly: "Kneel down, all of you."

Aiden Shaw knelt down the fastest.

Rouge Jarvis looked at him and felt a wave of dizziness, nearly forgetting to breathe.

Is the son becoming a son-in-law or is the daughter becoming a daughter-in-law?

What is all this?

Isaac Ford and Maxim Ford also knelt down.

She looked at the usually taciturn Isaac Ford, her eyes cold, speaking without any tenderness: "Old Six, tell me how it happened."

Isaac Ford looked at his eldest brother, then was about to look at his fourth brother.

Before he could look over, he heard his mother’s angry voice: "Stop looking around, look at me."

Isaac Ford: "..."

"Speak, what is the truth? What were you brothers thinking? Why would you hide such a big matter from me?"

At this moment, Isaac Ford’s eyes showed no trace of defiance, and he answered seriously: "At first, I didn’t know she was our lost sister. It was Fourth Brother who asked me to ensure her safety for at least three years. Because she was someone Fourth Brother cared about, I agreed."

To mother, this matter could not be considered a secret.

This was also within Maxim Ford’s expectations, but back then, when Tiana asked him, he really wasn’t sure on whose behalf Isaac acted.

"Is what he said correct?"

Aiden Shaw nodded: "Yes."

His eyes serious, voice quiet, yet with a genuine attitude.

Rouge Jarvis continued: "Go on."

Isaac Ford also didn’t know whether he should say more, but he didn’t want his mother to be enraged over his sister’s matter, so he decided to honestly explain everything.

"During the filming of ’Shining’, there was an incident where Melissa Rooney wanted to harm Little Sister. Second Brother stepped in to help. He knew I was working as a bodyguard for Little Sister, and then he told me she was our sister..."

Then, he didn’t know how to continue.

Rouge Jarvis slightly raised her eyebrows, her fox-like eyes full of wisdom: "So, Old Second has known all along that Tiana Thorne is our Poppy?"

The three brothers collectively fell silent, not intending to expose Julian Ford.

Seeing them like this, Rouge Jarvis laughed in fury: "Well, that’s great! Your brotherly bond has only grown stronger, treating me as an outsider — the Poison Spider."

Poison Spider...

Aiden Shaw: "..." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Maxim Ford: "..."

Isaac Ford: "..."

The three felt somewhat embarrassed; it was a nickname they had given in childhood when they were ignorant. Unexpectedly, their mother knew about it too.

Rouge Jarvis furrowed her elegant brows, forcibly suppressing her anger: "Now, I’ll ask you in a different way."

Their attitude remained respectful and obedient, not daring to disobey.

"Among you four, who was the last to know about this matter?"

According to Tiana, the first to know was her eldest brother, who she had always trusted the most, and thinking of that, her gaze turned extremely stern.

Aiden Shaw’s hand, held behind his back, twitched slightly.

His mother hadn’t mentioned it, but he hadn’t considered that among these brothers, he was the last one to know about this matter concerning Sixteen.

At this moment, Julian Ford returned.

Just as he reached the door, he saw this spectacle, halted his steps, but did not go inside.
