Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 40: Every Conclusion Is Nothing But a Daydream

Jodie Tanner faced the cameras, her smile full of warmth, like an angel speaking: "Everyone, please stay calm."

Tiana Thorne scoffed internally, this ever-present big sister persona has emerged again, seemingly protecting her in front of the media.

Heh.

She didn’t speak, just watched to see what Jodie Tanner would do next.

"Tiana, after all, is just starting her comeback. I hope everyone looks at her with kindness. Even if everyone’s efforts lead to me getting the lead role, I would never fall out with Tiana. Thank you for your concern."

Oh.

This white lotus sure knows how to talk.

With that one sentence, she directly brought up the scandal that had once ruined her career, thanked the fans who voted for her, and finally, the big sister persona shines brightly.

Instantly, the media was in an uproar, like a bunch of flies buzzing around a wound.

"Miss Thorne, you never seemed to have made a statement about the previous incident?"

"How can Miss Thorne, with such a messed-up private life, qualify as a public figure?"

"Could you talk about your feelings on having the lowest votes this time?"

One question was sharper than the next.

Jodie Tanner turned her head to look at her, feeling proud. She wanted to see how Tiana Thorne would answer such profound questions.

But to her surprise, Tiana Thorne’s expression didn’t change at all.

The smile on her lips and the gaze into the camera seemed to be overlooking all, with an air of superiority.

Tiana Thorne smiled gently: "To me, the previous incidents never existed, so why bother addressing something so inconsequential?"

"Even if only one person likes me, that is still someone, so why wouldn’t I do well?"

"Regarding the voting..." Tiana paused and smiled.

The right corner of her mouth lifted slightly, scanning the dense crowd, she raised her eyebrows slightly, exuding extreme arrogance.

Media: "...!!!"

Jodie Tanner Fans: "...!!!"

What kind of expression is this? It’s so alluring, it leaves you breathless. The light in her eyes makes it impossible to look directly at her.

Then, she lowered her voice a few notches, shook her head slightly, and with tones of regret said: "Any conclusions before the last moment are pure — daydreams."

The whole place erupted.

"Damn, that tone!"

"What a freaking goddess!"

"That expression, my god, why is she so handsome!??"

"Stay calm, we’re here for Jodie Tanner."

"She’s so good at stealing the spotlight."

"The media approached her themselves, okay?"

"Uh..."

Tiana Thorne’s response was extraordinarily sophisticated, without over-explaining the past scandal, she simply said it never existed, leaving vast room for imagination.

Perhaps it means forgetting the past and starting fresh.

Or perhaps, it means she was framed.

Jodie Tanner’s mouth twitched.

Is Tiana Thorne saying she’s daydreaming or that Jodie is?

The media hurriedly posed more questions.

But Tiana Thorne, with an expression both cold and gentle, preemptively shut everyone up: "Today, you’re here to interview Jodie Tanner. As for the recent gossip, all I can say is to focus more on Zenith Media’s works and less on personal matters, thank you."

With that, May Sloane and Finn Pierce quickly blocked her from the front.

May Sloane, limping, said loudly: "There are no further comments on other matters, thank you, thank you."

Seeing her like this, people thought she was too professional to push through, but a few disregarded people still rushed forward, trying to dig up news.

Tiana Thorne frowned, her expression immediately turning cold.
