Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 422 - 421: Putting Joyce in Her Place

The room fell into silence.

It was so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.

Such an atmosphere left nowhere to hide.

Abe Rooney felt sweat trickling down his forehead, his gaze dodging, and suddenly he felt that the aura in the room wasn’t just created by Aiden Shaw alone.

Sitting not far from him, Tiana Thorne also had a very powerful aura, more dangerous and volatile compared to Aiden Shaw’s coldness.

Tiana Thorne lightly blinked her beautiful fox-like eyes, with a somewhat mischievous smile, she spoke slowly: "Joyce Hughes, Aiden Shaw asks you to identify the person. Do you think you can refuse?"

"Don’t accuse me falsely." Joyce glared at her with red eyes.

Tiana lazily smiled: "If I’m falsely accusing you, wouldn’t your Aiden Shaw be doing the same?"

Aiden Shaw’s handsome brows slightly furrowed at her words.

Your Aiden Shaw...

The coldness around him became even more intimidating.

Joyce was cornered by her words, leaving her no way out, and had to pitifully look at Aiden Shaw, with tears glistening in her eyes, looking pitifully: "Aiden, I really don’t know him, what on earth is going on?"

He didn’t look at her: "Abe, you speak."

Being called upon, Abe Rooney shivered in fear, after a while, he wiped his sweat: "Half a month ago, Miss Hughes found me, asked me to write news, and spread it around, that piece of news was the scandal Miss Thorne had caused before. I..."

"You’re talking nonsense." Joyce interrupted him, her voice nervous.

Inside, she trembled, quickly shaking her head: "I did no such thing, Abe Rooney, don’t accuse me falsely, I don’t know anything about this."

"Let him continue." Aiden Shaw spoke, very coldly.

Joyce’s face went pale, and despite her unwillingness, she had to shut up.

"I didn’t know this blurry photo was of you, Aiden. I just followed our usual methods to publicize it. It was Miss Hughes who told me that Miss Thorne was being promiscuous outside, promiscuous..."

As he spoke, Abe Rooney kept wiping his sweat because he felt the murderous aura from Tiana Thorne, and was truly afraid.

Tiana Thorne curled her lips into a smile, casually raising her eyebrow: "Go on, I love hearing gossip."

"Miss Hughes said you were messing around with wild men, that you had more than one man supporting you, that you were bold enough to set your sights on Aiden Shaw, and instructed me to blow up this matter, so Aiden Shaw would see your true face..."

After finishing, Abe Rooney looked as though he was being pushed to the execution ground, ready to face death.

Tiana Thorne wasn’t angry at all, instead, she laughed, her eyes deepening in color, lazily saying: "The task Miss Hughes gave you, wasn’t just that, hmm?"

Abe Rooney appeared ashen, as if her words hit the mark, lowering his head, afraid to look at her again.

Joyce hurriedly defended herself: "I didn’t do it! Tiana Thorne, this is a play directed and acted by you, you and Abe Rooney are in cahoots to bully me."

"Where’s the evidence?"

Thinking of the photo still circulating, Joyce gritted her teeth in anger.

After a while, she said: "Afterwards, you posted, using your and Aiden’s high-definition photos to clarify. This is the best evidence. Don’t you love using such methods to gain fans? First be scorned by the masses, then clean yourself up, and profit from it."

Tiana Thorne raised her hands and clapped for her, her smile full of interest: "Not bad. You understand my methods quite well."

Abe Rooney was shocked inside, this Tiana Thorne didn’t follow the usual rules, this time she even counted Aiden in her plans, perfectly counterattacked, garnering numerous fans.

She actually dared to admit it in front of Aiden, wasn’t she afraid of being blacklisted?

Hearing this, Joyce’s face turned pale again, her lips trembled, wishing she could swallow back the words she’d just spoken, but it was too late.

That sentence carried too much meaning, implying...

This wasn’t the first time they’d clashed.

Only then did she retroactively understand her tactics.

After speaking, Tiana Thorne leaned back, her whole demeanor was like a master lounging on the sofa, stretching her slender fingers: "Then let’s count how many times you’ve stabbed me in the back."

"I didn’t, I really didn’t."

"Don’t rush to explain, Abe Rooney, you speak..."

With that, Tiana Thorne bent the first finger down: "First, when Jodie Tanner was still around, you helped her quite a bit, at that time finding you to slander me, you didn’t hold back, right?"

Abe Rooney saw how wanton she was, and Aiden sitting there without saying a word, that stance, not at all intending to stop her.

In an instant, he understood.

Perhaps, the only way to save his life at this moment was to confess everything.

He had to nod: "It’s true..."

"Let’s not mention Jodie Tanner, let’s talk about recent events, especially when we were in Azurea..." After speaking, Tiana Thorne then slowly looked at Joyce: "When Aiden rescued me in the bamboo forest, almost got killed by me on the spot, afterwards those posts about me being a diva, throwing a fit, there were fifty percent of them from you, weren’t there?"

Joyce was genuinely panicking inside.

No matter what, she couldn’t think that after so long, Tiana could still recount everything.

Aiden Shaw’s eyes deepened a few shades, his dark pupils filled with an icy aura.

Jesse Rivers immediately remembered, at that time the real victim was Miss Thorne, but she was scorned by the entire internet, it was May Sloane who hacked into the entire network at the key moment to minimize the damage.

Joyce even participated in that incident...

So...

Tiana Thorne’s every word was aggressive, giving her no chance: "Ella Rivers got slapped by me, while you helped her play the victim behind my back, then hired online trolls to trash me, posting across the internet to slander me, Joyce Hughes, Joyce, how unfortunate Ella Rivers went crazy without knowing who was really helping her in the shadows? Otherwise, she’d have to thank you properly."

Joyce bit her lip hard, she did take advantage of the chaos to go after Tiana Thorne.

But what was the result?

Lord Crab’s sharp-tongued video exposure, and out of nowhere appeared Mr. TWO.

Not only was Tiana Thorne not sidelined from the entertainment industry, she instead gained countless fans.

While she spent so much money, and effort, everything she did went down the drain, like an invisible hand giving her a slap, so hard that both sides of her face still hurt.

Tiana Thorne pursed her lips: "That time with Gwen Boyce, were you inside to continue to slander and trash me, or did you persuade the media to conduct interviews, and this time, trying to tarnish my reputation, Joyce Hughes, after doing so much and spending so much money..."

She deliberately dragged her words, her low voice filled with endless sarcasm, lazily asking word by word: "Now, figure it out, what have you gained?"

Joyce’s face turned a ghastly shade of blue: "Tiana Thorne, you..."

Tiana Thorne laughed: "Let me help you answer, you worked pro bono to my benefit! To speak of it, my fanbase has multiplied several times, all thanks to your backing, should I thank you properly, hmm?"
