Chapter 985: Chapter 977: The Mask Slipped (Part 1)

May nodded, "It doesn’t seem like the type to take money to resolve other people’s problems, and to create a Time Palette that Nina couldn’t refute in such a short time, it’s truly amazing."

Saying this, she suddenly exclaimed, "Could it be, this Lord Crab is your Fourteenth Brother!??"

Tiana Thorne’s red lips curled slightly, she looked up at her, "I guess not exactly, maybe someone who has a special relationship with him."

May couldn’t help but be amazed, "Oh my god, the world is so small."

"I’ll make a call to confirm."

Saying this, Tiana dialed his number.

"Sister."

Tiana pretended not to know, "Fourteenth Brother, did you see the news?"

"I saw it, it’s over, you just focus on shooting from now on."

Tiana smiled and asked, "Fourteenth Brother, what’s your relationship with Lord Crab?"

Ethan Ford asked, "Why?"

"He could create a Time Palette in such a short time, I’m curious, is this talent someone you know?"

Ethan Ford smiled, "You figured me out."

Hearing this, Tiana was quite surprised, "Really!?"

"It’s me."

Tiana: "...!???"

Damn!!!!

There’s a thousand exclamations to be said.

Since the speaker was on, May heard it too.

What kind of incredible fate is this?

There was collaboration before, and now this Lord Crab turns out to be Ethan Ford, her initial guess wasn’t wrong.

Tiana still couldn’t quite believe it, "This is too out of character for you."

Ethan Ford softly asked, "What do you think my character should be?"

"That style is really hard for me to imagine is you."

Ethan Ford chuckled, "Didn’t you teach me?"

Upon hearing this, Tiana felt very excited, finally unable to resist complaining, "Why didn’t you tell me earlier?"

"It’s just a simple disguise, thought it unnecessary."

A simple disguise?

This phrase sounded not so simple.

Could it be, the Fourteenth Brother has other disguises?

Ethan Ford moved past the topic, softly asked, "Sister, can you do me a favor?"

"What?"

Ethan Ford said, "Shallow is a big fan of yours, she wants your autograph."

Hearing this, Tiana couldn’t help but smile, "Sure, one or even a hundred is no problem."

"Then sign it and send it to an address."

"Okay."

Tiana took a deep breath, smiling, her voice sweet, "Brother, can you do me a favor?"

"Just say it, anything I can do is fine."

Tiana, "Can you lend me Lord Crab’s social media account for a couple of days?"

"What do you want it for?"

Tiana hinted mysteriously, "You’ll know when the time comes, don’t worry, I won’t cause any trouble for you."

"Alright, you can take it, I’ll send you the account and password later."

Tiana nodded, "Okay."

Truth be told, she didn’t have any plans, just wanted to see what some flirtatious troublemakers were saying over there about her on his account.

She must maintain her perfect image with her brother.

Sigh.

Her vengeful nature really couldn’t endure any loss.

May sat on the sofa, staring at Lord Crab’s profile in astonishment, "Tiana, there are just so few talented people, and they all belong to the Ford family, I’m so envious."

Tiana lightly patted her on the head, "Alright, quickly go over your lines, memorize the important ones."

"You’re working so hard as a screenwriter yourself."

Tiana nodded, "Since it’s based on the real story of Fourteenth Brother’s own sister, I don’t want to mess it up."

"Actually, I thought Ethan Ford would have his sister clarify the original story, but instead, he plays this card."

"Ford family men are not to be messed with." Tiana’s eyes held a mischievous glint, her lips curling into a sweet smile, "Ford family women, even more so."

"Hmm."

At midnight, Tiana had a dream.

She dreamed of a dark room with only a beam of white light spilling in from outside the window.

A woman with a very seductive figure was holding a phone, quietly watching a video.

Even with such humorous and playful style, it didn’t bring a smile to her face, only a bloodthirsty gleam in her eyes.

When the video ended, she raised her eyes to the mirror in front of her.

The reflection in the mirror showed a breathtakingly beautiful face, identical to hers.

The woman in the dream stared at the mirror for a long time, before finally curving her lips in a smile, captivatingly beautiful, three parts seductive, melting into the bones.

Tiana stared at the woman in the mirror, feeling like something was pressing on her chest, leaving her unable to breathe.

The woman in the dream looked like her, yet wasn’t her.

She couldn’t pinpoint the exact difference.

It wasn’t until the woman in the dream used her finger to slowly write a name on the mirror—Meredith Ford.

The blood-red name was quite chilling.

Suddenly, Tiana’s eyes flew open, and she sat up in bed.

She gently pinched her aching nose bridge, feeling her temples throb, a sudden unease settling over her.

Why would she have such a dream?

Wasn’t Meredith Ford already dead?

Why did she write Meredith’s name in the dream?

Even though it was a dream, it still left her restless, like it was signaling something.

Rouge Jarvis walked in, seeing the sweat on her face, bowed in thought.

She quickly approached the bed, soothing her gently, "Tiana, was it a nightmare?"

"Mom, why are you here?"

Rouge calmly wiped the sweat from her forehead, "I heard you scream from the hallway and came in to check."

Tiana leaned into her embrace, feeling a bit unsettled, "Mom, I dreamed of Meredith Ford."

"Haunting?"

Tiana shook her head, her breath barely steady, "No, I can’t quite explain."

Though it only appeared in the mirror, it gave her a creepy feeling.

She had never felt this in all these years.

Rouge’s eyes turned cold, her voice low and soothing, "Tiana, there’s nothing to worry about, she’s already dead, gone from this world. Even if her spirit doesn’t rest, what waves could she still make after that?"

Hearing this, Tiana lightly pressed her lips, "Yeah."

Maybe, she was overthinking it.

Rouge saw her calm down a bit, then said, "By the way, Tiana, today your aunt and I are going to the temple for a while, to pray for you. I go every year around this time, and this year is no different."

"Auntie?"

"Yes, she’s my aunt, your great-aunt."

Suddenly, Tiana remembered what her mother had said before.

Her mom had adopted Meredith Ford with her aunt’s persuasion.
