Chapter 1043: Chapter 1035: Diamond Dog Food 1

Aiden Shaw noticed something was off with her. He covered the back of her hand with his own. "What’s wrong?"

She glanced back at him. "Before, I might have misunderstood."

Aiden Shaw didn’t speak. He looked straight into her eyes, waiting for her to go on.

Tiana Thorne added, "Great-Aunt is a good person. The whole fake Tiana thing probably has nothing to do with her."

"You were only suspicious before. How come you’re so sure now?"

Tiana pressed her lips together. Some things, heaven’s secrets can’t be revealed; she had no way to tell her Fourth Brother directly.

Because when she saw Great-Aunt close her eyes for the last time, her mom was right beside her, like she was seeing her off.

She suddenly remembered something The Grand Elder had once said: if a person has never done any great evil in their life, then when they leave this world, the one closest to them will be there to see them off.

She sensed Great-Aunt’s death, and her mom was there.

Her mom was the closest family Great-Aunt had.

Which meant that in this life, Great-Aunt hadn’t done anything bad.

Back then, she’d recommended that her mom raise Miranda Dalton, saying that a sliver of her soul existed in Miranda.

Maybe she really just couldn’t stand seeing her mom crying herself to sleep every day, so she made up a kind lie to give her mom’s heart a little bit of comfort.

And at the same time, it could help share Third Aunt’s pain back then.

Looked at from this angle, Great-Aunt truly was a wonderful person. As an elder, she wanted Pearl Jarvis to recover more easily, and she wanted Rouge Jarvis to pull herself together.

From the very beginning, she’d gotten it wrong.

If it wasn’t Great-Aunt who plotted the fake Tiana, then who could it be?

This person must be someone extremely familiar with both the Ford family and the Thorne family.

Seeing her stay silent for so long, Aiden Shaw didn’t press her. He might not trust other people, but he trusted her.

"Don’t dwell on it. Let’s go see Second Brother."

Tiana nodded. "Mm."

For better recuperation, Second Brother had already been discharged from the hospital and was staying at home. They’d hired the best doctors and nurses for him.

Tiana took a look at Great-Aunt’s villa, the corners of her lips curving slightly. A sly smile shimmered in her eyes. "Fourth Brother, wait a second."

"Hm?"

She held out her hand toward him. "Give me your hand."

Aiden Shaw handed his over.

Tiana laced her fingers through his, threading through his fingers, ten fingers interlocked.

His skin was a healthy wheat color, while hers was fair and rosy, soft and taut.

With their ten fingers interlaced, the contrast in their hands was clear—one big, one small, their fingers long and elegant—creating an especially pleasing sight.

She took out her phone and snapped a photo of that moment.

"We’ve got to clear things up somehow, bust the rumors. You’re not going to marry Rochelle Lee."

Aiden Shaw’s thin lips lifted slightly, the smile in his eyes stunningly beautiful. In the frozen winter, it warmed her heart.

His voice was low and mellow like fine wine. "Silly girl."

Tiana grinned. Just as she was about to hit send, she drew her hand back, looked at him, and her smile took on a teasing edge. "For something like this, it’s more convincing if the man does it, don’t you think?"

"Sure."

He handed her the phone without hesitation.

Tiana sent the photo she’d just taken to him via WeChat.

Then she opened Weibo and posted a new update, adding a bossy-CEO-style caption: "All of you, shut up. I’ve only got this one woman."

"Here, Aiden Shaw, Fourth of the Shaws, take a look—does this caption fit your domineering-CEO persona or not?"

Aiden Shaw took the phone. His fingers moved slightly as he @-mentioned Tiana Thorne’s Weibo, then changed a few words.

Tiana looked at the screen, curious what he had changed.
