Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 424 - 423: Teach Her a Lesson, She Deserves to Be Hit

Chapter 424: Chapter 423: Teach Her a Lesson, She Deserves to Be Hit

Joyce Hughes lowered her head, her mind racing.

Loomis Hughes definitely wouldn’t expose her, so she was safe for now.

If the truth came out, she could just push all the blame onto that idiot.

Thinking this, she raised her head, "I don’t even know this person. Loomis Hughes is indeed my brother, but we got separated when we were young. You met a man with the same name who harassed you and think it’s my brother? That’s too far-fetched."

"Is that so?"

Tiana Thorne lazily curled her lips, her smile like fire, dazzling.

"He has a red birthmark about the size of a little finger on the back of his neck. Not your brother? It seems I really made a mistake."

Uncle Hayes stopped breathing for a moment and walked in front of Tiana Thorne, "Is the birthmark on the left side of his neck?"

Tiana feigned surprise, "How does Uncle Hayes know?"

"He is my poor nephew." Uncle Hayes sighed, tears already streaming down his old face.

Both hands clenched into fists, he turned to Joyce Hughes, "Be honest, what have you done?"

Joyce Hughes stubbornly shook her head, "I did nothing."

"Could it be Miss Tiana is slandering you?"

Joyce Hughes bit her lip, "Do you believe everything she just said?"

Uncle Hayes’ expression was weathered, his voice somewhat choked, "Can you find evidence to make me not believe?"

"But she doesn’t have evidence either, does she?"

"Who said I don’t have evidence?" Tiana Thorne laughed, the mockery in her tone unmistakable.

"You want to slander me again."

Tiana Thorne twirled a strand of her long hair, her voice soft, "Uncle Hayes, go get her laptop, everything will become clear."

Joyce Hughes’ face immediately turned pale, "Don’t go."

"It’s not up to you."

Aiden Shaw, who had been silent all the while, spoke up, his cold voice as chilling as the wind, making her heart ache.

"Fourth Master..."

Aiden Shaw coldly averted his eyes, ignoring her pitiful demeanor.

Uncle Hayes also wanted to know if the niece he had always cherished was truly that bad.

Although, looking at her now, it was hard to believe she was being slandered, he still wanted to see the evidence.

Without evidence, perhaps none of this was real. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Five minutes later, the laptop was brought over.

Uncle Hayes said, "The laptop is password-protected, we can’t open it."

Aiden Shaw’s voice was devoid of any warmth, "Open it."

Joyce Hughes felt like she was standing on the edge of life and death now, no matter what, it couldn’t be opened.

She shook her head and said innocently, "I forgot the password."

"Do you think I would believe you?" Tiana Thorne said lazily, then looked to her side, "Isaac, I remember you know how to decode passwords, right?"

The last time she asked him to list his skills and hobbies, he mentioned it.

"Yes."

Isaac nodded and took the laptop from Uncle Hayes.

Joyce Hughes’ face turned ashen, she tried to snatch it back.

Aiden Shaw’s eyes narrowed slightly, Jesse Rivers immediately understood, stepped forward, and restrained Joyce Hughes, making it impossible for her to move.

In just five minutes, the laptop was unlocked.

Tiana Thorne instructed, "Open her Weibo and check her browsing and posting history, also check the computer’s recorded transactions."

"There are seven or eight dummy accounts on Weibo."

Though Tiana was smiling, her eyes glinted coldly, her lips parted, "Open them one by one."

Sure enough, as Tiana said, all seven or eight dummy accounts were leading the charge in bashing.

"Die a horrible death."

"Messed around with men."

"Chaotic private life."

"Entered a hotel with three men at the same time."

The venomous language.

This kind of attack was pervasive in popular threads, all orchestrated by her.

Each post began with four words: "An insider reveals."

That’s why people believed them to be true.

Even over ten thousand people liked her posts.

In one Weibo account, she used large amounts of money to tip multiple media accounts, leading them to eagerly fabricate scandals about her.

Discredit her if possible, if not, find random photos to pretend it’s her and discredit her.

Exciting stuff.

Lately, Joyce Hughes must have been busy with online feuds at the villa.

Now, exposing all her filthy tirades, Uncle Hayes was shocked.

He couldn’t believe such venomous and disgusting language came from her.

It didn’t stop there. Logging into her Weibo, there was evidence of her hiring media to smear Tiana Thorne.

The evidence was so clear, magnifying her ugly side.

Joyce Hughes bit her lip, her face completely colorless, her heart pounding wildly.

This time, it was truly over.

"Joyce Hughes, you really haven’t done me any favors," Tiana Thorne’s icy voice carried a hint of laughter.

She stood up, rubbing her right hand’s palm, slowly walking towards her.

Seeing her approaching but unable to move, Joyce Hughes could only glare at her with a cold face, "What do you want to do?"

Tiana Thorne chuckled softly, her fox eyes revealing malice, the sweetness of her dimples wiped away by the coldness, "You’ve been so kind to me, an eye for an eye, right?"

"How dare you!?"

"Why wouldn’t I dare?" She lightly raised an eyebrow, her words fell, and she was already in front of her.

Joyce Hughes glared at her, "I’ve been kind to the Shaw family, if you harm me even a bit, Fourth Master won’t let you go."

"But right now, I want to deal with you first."

With that, Tiana Thorne’s voice turned sharper, "Jesse, please restrain her."

"Jesse, let me go, Tiana Thorne, you..."

Smack—

This slap landed hard on the spot where Uncle Hayes had hit before, even harder.

Joyce Hughes screamed, feeling her cheek split open, the stinging pain.

"I come from a big family, this slap is on behalf of the men in my family."

Two brothers and two fathers.

"What else do you want to do... ah—"

Before she finished the question, Tiana Thorne slapped her hard again in the same place, turning her remaining words into cries of pain.

Tiana Thorne shook her hand, gently blowing on it, "This slap, on behalf of the women in my family."

Her one mother.

The others in the room were moved.

When talking about being framed by Joyce Hughes, Tiana Thorne seemed disaffected, her attitude indifferent, treating her schemes as trivial tricks, not caring at all.

It wasn’t until seeing the words "die a horrible death" from Joyce Hughes as a keyboard warrior did her demeanor change.

It didn’t matter what they said about her, but involving family crossed the line.

Tiana Thorne’s murderous intent overflowed, her gaze icy, "Have you had enough?"

Joyce Hughes was so intimidated by her aura that she couldn’t speak, tears brimmed in her eyes.

Tiana Thorne squinted her eyes, "Indeed, if you had given up earlier, you wouldn’t have incited Loomis Hughes to rape me, only for him to end up in jail before he could even touch me."

Joyce Hughes trembled, thoughts racing, Fourth Master would never tolerate a woman who did such heinous deeds.

She could only bite her lip, refusing to admit anything.

Because she knew better than anyone, admitting to this would be her end.
