Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 423 - 422: Shocked

Joyce Hughes was so infuriated by her words that she felt pain in her chest, with flames burning inside her, wishing she could rush over and rip apart her casual and arrogant face.

"Tut tut."

Tiana Thorne sighed again, stretched lazily, her gaze becoming more mischievous: "No need to look at me like that. I won’t settle your wages for you."

Joyce suddenly felt a chill in the air, and in that instant, she realized she had almost admitted to everything earlier.

If so, Fourth Master would never forgive her for the rest of his life...

She cried, tears falling as if she had suffered a great grievance: "Tiana Thorne, you are falsely accusing me. I have never done such things. You are trying to drive a wedge between the Fourth Master and me."

"Feelings?"

Tiana Thorne seized on her sore spot, lazily smiling, seeming half-joking and half-serious in mockery: "Are they master-servant feelings or brother-sister affection?"

There was no romantic affection.

If that were the case, what was there to stir up?

Hearing this, Joyce’s face turned pale instantly, this was her most painful spot.

She looked over pitifully, eyes filled with tears asking, "Fourth Master, can you heartlessly let her act here, create something out of nothing, and still say these things to bully me?"

"Sigh~"

Tiana Thorne let out a coquettish sigh, her gaze extremely seductive: "Don’t rush for help, I haven’t finished speaking."

Jesse Rivers: "..."

There’s more to it...

Joyce Hughes had unexpectedly done so many bad things quietly, if Miss Tang was the least bit foolish, she would have been plunged into an abyss never to rise again.

Luckily, she only worked for Miss Tang, causing no substantial harm.

It shows how deep Joyce’s hatred for her was.

Uncle Hayes seemed to be listening to an alien language, having always believed that his niece, though stubborn and haughty, wouldn’t do any heinous deeds.

But now...

Tiana Thorne observed everyone’s emotions intently, except for Aiden Shaw’s eyes which she couldn’t read.

Ha.

Is it this shocking to everyone?

Next, things will become even more shocking.

Joyce bit her lip, suddenly recalling her uncle had just asked her about where Loomis Hughes was.

In an instant, her heart trembled.

She glared at her angrily: "I don’t understand what you are saying. This is the Shaw family, you have no right to dictate here, get out!"

Tiana Thorne remained completely motionless, without even a frown, smiling wisely as she slowly lifted her lips: "You also know, this is the Shaw family."

The implication being, who are you to give the eviction order?

Joyce hurriedly looked at Aiden Shaw, seeking help: "Fourth Master, chase this raving lunatic out, I can overlook her slandering me."

Aiden Shaw raised his eyes, that expression bore no warmth, nor any emotion, it was like a pool of stagnant water, cold enough to make one tremble.

She murmured: "Fourth Master..."

He believes Tiana Thorne...

Though he said nothing, just that pair of eyes told everything.

He doesn’t believe her!

"Fourth Master, my parents sacrificed their lives for you, how can you treat me like this? Let Tiana Thorne this lunatic slander me, I never had parents growing up, I only have you..."

"Sigh, sigh, sigh, you’re deviating from the topic, don’t rush to play the victim." Tiana Thorne interrupted her again.

She was interrupted twice when seeking help from Fourth Master, her honest words were being labeled as playing the victim.

The breath clogged in her heart almost exploded, wishing she could lash out.

The anger in her eyes rapidly transformed into grievance, tears fell as she asked pitifully: "Miss Tang, ever since you came to the villa, I believe I have not been unkind to you. Why do you bear such a grudge against me?"

"Miss Hughes, you’ve misunderstood, it is you who bear a grudge against me. In fact, you treated me well, fearing I might feel lonely upon arriving, sending in little roaches and big rats to keep me company. Such kindness, I remember it well."

Poof...

Jesse Rivers finally couldn’t hold back and laughed.

Why do these things sound so humorous when coming from Miss Tang?

Miss Tang truly does not accept favors nor takes a loss, one sentence blocked the generosity back.

Joyce’s face instantly turned to the color of pig liver, with two tears on her cheeks, unsure what expression to make.

"Little roaches and big rats are quite cute, sending them is one thing, but sending a man, isn’t that gift a bit too big?"

Upon hearing, everyone in the hall was stunned.

Aiden Shaw’s sharp eyebrows slightly knitted, he stared at her intently.

Joyce panicked: "What man? You’re falsely accusing me again, are you starved for a man?"

Uncle Hayes, hearing this crude remark, thought his ears were in pain and shouted: "What kind of words are these?!"

Joyce’s face turned pale, realizing she’d spoken in anger, uttering something inappropriate.

She bit her lip, continued crying, making her false accusation seem incredibly real.

"Joyce Hughes, you really are forgetful. Loomis Hughes, who played a prince from another kingdom in ’Solitary,’ is your brother, right? You want me to become your sister-in-law, just say so, maybe I would consider it seriously, but you directly had your brother use force on me during a rape scene..."

Joyce’s face turned ghostly pale, forgetting to cry, she shouted: "You lie, I don’t have a brother!"

Aiden Shaw’s thumb rubbing the jade ring stopped suddenly, applying more pressure until his fingertips turned white, his eyes as cold as ice, piercing her emotively.

Joyce breathed rapidly, her mind in complete disarray.

What to do, Fourth Master’s gaze suddenly became so cold, he surely wants her out because she has a brother.

"Miss Tang, is what you say the truth?" Uncle Hayes’s heart skipped a beat, tears welled up in his sallow eyes.

"Uncle, don’t listen to her, my brother died long ago, he..."

Smack—

Uncle Hayes strode over, delivering a hard slap, breaking her words, angrily saying: "You ungrateful wretch!"

Joyce was stunned, covering her face, looking at her uncle who always adored her in disbelief: "You hit me?"

Uncle Hayes’s eyes were filled with tears and anger, his fists clenching: "Is what she said true? Did you have your brother try to rape her? Do you know this is a crime? One that could lead to imprisonment! Do you want to ruin your brother? How will I face your deceased parents when I’m buried in the ground?!"

Every question felt like a stab to the heart.

Tiana Thorne frowned slightly, the person least deserving of pain was Uncle Hayes.

Even if it would hurt him, she had no intention of letting it go, lazily saying: "Loomis Hughes didn’t succeed, I’ve already sent him to prison."

Uncle Hayes staggered backward, nearly fainting.

Joyce never imagined she found out so quickly, her demeanor completely chaotic.
