Chapter 975: Chapter 967: Playing with Fire, Getting Burned 3

Sue Rooney was anxious and glared angrily at the police: "What are you doing!?"

The police tightened their grip on her hand, leaving her no room to resist.

At this moment, Preston Quinn also returned with the surveillance video and handed it to Graham Ford: "This is all the footage from last night."

Graham Ford took it and played with it, his eyes full of bloodthirst, his tone icy: "You broke into my study in the middle of the night, trespassing is illegal. I have reason to accuse you and send you to prison."

Sue Rooney became anxious, her eyes reddened: "You were the one who asked me to come. How is it trespassing? Last night, it was Tiana Thorne who told me to stay."

"I say it is, so it is."

At these words, Sue Rooney was so angry she was about to cry, trembling as she pointed at the people present: "You, you... are playing me?"

"I merely gave you a chance, but you did not seize it, and yet you accuse me, trying to ruin my relationship with Rouge. Since that’s the case, you should be handed over to Rouge for her to deal with."

She quickly understood the whole sequence of events.

Last night, Graham Ford had everything planned. He was leading her into a trap.

If she had done anything to Graham Ford last night, Preston Quinn would have immediately stepped in to stop it.

Last night, she simply sat by his side all night, so he went with the flow to leave evidence of her accusations against him.

There was just one thing she didn’t understand, angrily glaring at him: "Last night, you could have stopped it directly. Why wait until now?"

Graham Ford raised an eyebrow: "Tiana said that Rouge was feeling unwell and went to rest early. It wasn’t necessary to disturb her last night. As it turns out, the effect is just the same now."

Upon hearing this, Sue Rooney’s heart sank suddenly.

So that’s how it is.

So that’s how it is...

She actually thought Graham Ford’s silence was because he had no feelings for Rouge Jarvis.

And believed that Rouge Jarvis’s lack of anger was because her heart was already dead.

But she didn’t realize that the bond between them required no explanation; everything was in their hearts, and no one could interfere.

She had everything planned, and even last month she could accuse Graham Ford of touching her.

But they didn’t believe it.

She could only make one last retaliation, gritting her teeth as she said: "Even if last night I broke into Graham Ford’s study on my own, what about the third of last month? He indeed spent that night with me. Rouge Jarvis, no wonder you’ve had so many kids with him; your man is truly excellent in that regard."

Rouge Jarvis was not the slightest bit angry and lazily smiled as she curved her lips: "Thank you for the compliment. I’ll show you something."

After saying this, she took out her phone and scrolled to her chat records with Graham Ford from the third of last month.

Opening it, she saw a video record.

She flipped it around: "Over seven hours of video, Sue Rooney, tell us where you were?"

Sue Rooney’s face turned pale, her last defense broken.

They actually video-chatted that night.

Sue Rooney clenched her hands into fists, the anger within her growing wildly, yet she was powerless.

"In this world, no other woman can bear children for Graham Ford."

After saying this, she had the housekeeper bring out the strongest evidence against Sue Rooney.

The vasectomy certificate.

Sue Rooney only felt a blankness in front of her eyes, her breathing becoming extremely difficult.

Graham Ford had actually had a vasectomy...

"Years ago, after having Tiana, we decided not to have any more children. Graham Ford was afraid it would hurt if I had an IUD, so he chose to have a vasectomy. So, Miss Rooney, how could a man who has had a vasectomy make you pregnant?"

These words were filled with extreme sarcasm.

And made those present understand one thing.

That is, Graham Ford loved Rouge Jarvis very much.

No one could ever destroy the bond between them.

Despite their arguments, they never believed in slander.

Tiana Thorne looked at her parents, her heart gently stirred with a bit of envy for such love.

However, it was a relationship that had weathered storms; after so many years, what remained was true love.

Sue Rooney was taken away.

Graham Ford showed no leniency because she was pregnant. He published online, in a long article, how she broke into his home at night and tried to destroy his and Rouge’s relationship, along with stating that he would pursue legal action against Sue Rooney.

He wasn’t out to completely ruin her, but such a woman, if not rooted out in one go, would undoubtedly find her next victim to father her child.

After seeing Sue Rooney taken away, Graham Ford gently glanced towards Rouge Jarvis, involuntarily thinking of Jonas and Pearl Jarvis. Had they believed in each other enough back then, they wouldn’t have given others the opportunity to exploit them.

Subsequently, a similar tragedy wouldn’t have occurred.

The same incident happened between him and Rouge, yet it ended in the quickest possible way.

Rouge Jarvis asked him: "Slept on the sofa all night last night, tired?"

Graham Ford nodded: "I’ll take a shower and then sleep for a while."

Rouge Jarvis followed by his side: "I didn’t sleep well last night either, let’s go together."

Then, the couple walked past Tiana Thorne and Aiden Shaw together.

Tiana Thorne watched their backs, a sweet smile on her lips.

Mom and Dad, indeed, are a perfect couple.

Sue Rooney now faced punishment, and she only needed to arrange the new drama and prepare for Ethan Thorne’s variety show.

Then she’d let her parents take her to meet Aunt Pearl.

The always talked-about good person that appeared so often in her parents’ mouths, she had never met her.

Hopefully, just as Mom said, she really is a wonderful elderly woman.

...

Yet, overnight, Sue Rooney became the target of public outcry.

In Banyria, the relationship between Graham Ford and Rouge Jarvis was the ideal love everyone envied and aspired to.

It’s no surprise that attempting to destroy such a relationship rendered her unforgivable.

Sue Rooney was thoroughly ruined.

Moreover, she was sentenced to a year in prison.

Rouge Jarvis thought of the child in her womb, regardless of how corrupt Sue Rooney was, the child was innocent after all.

She hired a doctor to check in on her every week, demanding she deliver this child.

Sue Rooney didn’t want it.

If Graham Ford wasn’t the child’s father, what use was it, just a bastard ruining her future.

Rouge Jarvis was punishing her, forcing her to give birth to this child.

Several times, she tried to rid herself of the burden in her stomach, but she couldn’t, for there were always people sent by Rouge Jarvis in jail, watching her every move.

She couldn’t harm the child in her womb, forced to live in constant fear, despair, and pain.

After May Sloane left "Sunday," they didn’t invite any other guests.

Tiana Thorne and Ethan Thorne’s sibling CP became a huge hit, becoming the pair envied in the circle.

At the same time, Tiana Thorne crafted a street dance program specifically for Ethan Thorne, focusing on singing and dancing.

Selecting talented youths through each episode’s contest, ultimately, Ethan Thorne as a mentor would decide if they signed under the company.

For a time, this show became the favorite program among the vast online audience.

Tiana Thorne was already a life winner, yet she did not stop and continued to push forward.

Soon, news surfaced about her shooting a new movie.

However, the title of the new drama hadn’t been officially announced, so nobody knew what type it was, and the male lead starring with her remained a mystery.

May Sloane glanced at the hot topic on Weibo: "Tiana, did you contact the author about rehearsals?"

"I left a comment with a small account last time, but the author thought I was a scammer and deleted me."
