Chapter 854: Chapter 848: Her Downfall 1

Sean Thorne glanced at her face, momentarily stunned, Tiana looked very much like her mother.

He extended his hand, politely shaking hands.

After letting go, Rouge Jarvis introduced again, "This is my husband, Graham Ford."

Graham Ford was taller than Sean Thorne by a head, slightly lowering his gaze to look at him, deep and ink-like, examining the man who had been a father to Tiana for twenty-one years.

Rouge Jarvis felt a jump in her heart.

Could it be that Old Ford is jealous of Mr. Thorne, and won’t greet him?

Just as she was about to speak to ease the situation, Graham Ford extended his hand, "I’ve heard so much about you, Mr. Thorne."

He had heard this man’s name mostly from Rouge, who often mentioned how good Sean Thorne was to Tiana.

Tiana’s childhood and teenage years were spent growing up beside Sean Thorne.

This made him feel very jealous, yet also grateful.

"Hello."

As they shook hands, he applied force, gripping Sean Thorne’s hand tightly.

Sean Thorne frowned, and only then did Graham Ford realize his lapse, withdrawing his hand and putting it in his pocket.

At this moment, Whitney Lynch wished she could find an invisibility cloak.

She only hoped that figures like Rouge Jarvis and Graham Ford would be forgiving and not hold past actions against her.

However, she was too naive.

She was unaware that Tiana had become the bottom line for Rouge Jarvis and Graham Ford.

Rouge Jarvis glanced at her daughter, her gaze filled with stars, silently telling her that everything was up to her.

Tiana nodded slightly, her heart full of emotion.

Previously, at the old Ford residence, it was agreed that everything was up to her, but she didn’t expect that her parents and brother would still be worried and came over.

As a daughter, how could she stop her parents from being kind to her?

Sitting quietly on the sofa, she tugged Aiden Shaw’s hand, letting him sit down as well.

Rouge Jarvis smiled and said, "Ms. Linton."

"Yes, yes..." Whitney Lynch shivered in fright, suddenly feeling that Rouge Jarvis looked very much like her aunt Hazel Jarvis.

Rouge Jarvis’s gaze was calm, without any chill, unhurriedly playing with the diamond ring on her wedding band, after a while, she raised her eyebrows and said, "My daughter once told me that your health is not very good."

"Th-th-thank you for your concern, I’m already fine."

Rouge Jarvis’s lips curled playfully, filled with a cold and fierce air, and said, "Today, I brought my private doctor to conduct a full-body check-up for you."

After speaking, she looked at Sean Thorne, "Mr. Thorne, do you have any objections?"

"No."

These two heartless words severed all ties of affection between him and Whitney Lynch.

He no longer had any feelings for Whitney Lynch.

Rouge Jarvis smiled, "Very good."

Whitney Lynch looked at the smile on Rouge Jarvis’s lips, her entire body trembling uncontrollably, shaking her head, "I-I’m really fine, no need for... a check-up."

"Rest assured, if there’s any issue with your health, my medical team will perform surgery for you."

Surgery...

Whitney Lynch was stunned, instinctively sensing danger.

This was not a hospital, why perform surgery?

She burst into tears, casting pleading glances at others in the room, but no one was willing to help her.

Unwilling and also terrified.

At this moment, Graham Ford looked at Preston Quinn beside him.

Preston Quinn received the order and left.

Shortly after, he returned with Dr. Winslow and several nurses.

They were holding large boxes, appearing ready.

Terrified, Whitney Lynch stood up, backing away, turning, wanting to run.

But, how could a woman nearing fifty outrun the Sect Leader of the six gates?
