Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 425 - 424: Shh, Don’t Make a Sound

Tiana Thorne seemed to have guessed her thoughts: "It’s okay if you don’t admit to this, but the statements on your computer can all serve as evidence for my defamation lawsuit against you. Tell me, how many years do you plan to spend in prison?"

Upon hearing this, Joyce Hughes froze, her gaze evasive, her breathing became rapid, and her face, due to those three slaps, was red and swollen, looking extremely pathetic.

"Tiana Thorne, why are you doing this to me?"

Tiana laughed. Being taller than her, she lowered her gaze, looking at her as if she were a jumping clown: "Miss Hughes, you’re mistaken, it’s I who should be asking that question."

Everyone present was clear about who was turning black into white, right and wrong were already evident.

"But whether you admit it or not, the result is the same."

You’ll end up in jail... 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Joyce looked at Uncle Hayes: "Uncle, help me, please help me."

Uncle Hayes, thinking of Loomis Hughes who was harmed and jailed because of her, was filled with disappointment, lowered his head, and found it difficult to even look at her.

Joyce knew her uncle was upright all his life, and detested people like her, so she had no choice but to turn to Aiden Shaw.

At this moment, she was truly panicking: "Master Shaw, when my parents passed away, they asked you to take care of me, you can’t just abandon me, save me."

"Why?"

Joyce was taken aback, wasn’t what she just said enough?

She began to cry, feeling very wronged, shouting recklessly: "You can’t treat me like this, my parents asked you to protect me, you can’t be so ungrateful."

Her words seemed to have no effect, Aiden Shaw’s icy demeanor was completely unfeeling.

"You promised to take care of me for a lifetime, how can you do this? I did all this for you, how can you treat me like this for another woman, have you forgotten the kindness of the Hughes family?"

Tiana originally didn’t want to intervene, but she couldn’t listen anymore: "Hush, stop quarreling."

"You’re the third party, you bitch, you’re the one who turned Master Shaw’s heart."

Tiana laughed, unfazed by her insults, instead raising an eyebrow: "You also know, it’s the Hughes family’s kindness, what does it have to do with you?"

Joyce shouted confidently: "I’m part of the Hughes family, how does it not concern me?"

"Your parents sacrificed their lives, what have you done? Used Aiden Shaw’s connections to commit all kinds of atrocities outside? Even if there’s a debt owed to your parents, you’ve squandered it all away. Besides, this was a consensual matter, the Shaw family has already been more than generous to you."

Aiden Shaw’s long eyebrows moved slightly, his eyes grew deeper. Tiana saw the anger in her eyes, if not for Jesse Rivers holding her back, she might have already lunged to tear her apart.

"Don’t look at me like that, you’ve been eating, drinking, and using everything from the Shaw family, living a worry-free life, even if you marry out in the future, the Shaw family would still support you. You could have lived a glorious life, yet you chose to do such shameful deeds..."

Joyce hysterically interrupted her: "Tiana Thorne, what do you know, if your parents died, would you still speak so comfortably?"

Tiana despised people who used moral blackmail the most. No matter how well you treat such people, they would never be grateful.

"Your parents’ passing is indeed unfortunate, but the Shaw family can’t make further amends to them, only provide you with the best. Even innocence needs a boundary, being well-fed and clothed wasn’t enough, you demanded a marriage, and now having done such misdeeds, dealing with you justly is already quite lenient. Would you expect leniency if you committed murder or arson?"

Joyce froze, her face turning white then red, and looked at Aiden Shaw.

Thinking again about Tiana’s words, each one stabbed her heart like a needle, causing an unbearable pain.

At that moment, she slowly realized that Master Shaw would not protect her anymore, she was about to lose everything.

The comfortable life was gone, she could no longer stay by his side.

In panic, she cried: "Master Shaw, I know I was wrong, please, don’t turn me in, I was wrong."

Aiden Shaw squinted slightly at her: "Did you do all this?"

Joyce bit her lip, wanting to deny it.

But his eyes, like a viper’s, gazed coldly at her, sending shivers through her heart, afraid to lie.

In the end, she nodded: "Yes, I loved you too much, I couldn’t tolerate other women around you."

"Were you also the one who instructed your brother to assault Tiana Thorne?"

Joyce hesitated for a moment, maybe admitting and sincerely apologizing would make Master Shaw let her off for her parents’ sake.

"Yes, I was so blinded by anger then, I know I was wrong now, I won’t do such heinous things again."

Hearing this, Tiana lazily smiled.

Master Shaw acted, and everything was resolved.

That’s great~

"Master Shaw, I really know I was wrong, from now on I’ll stay by your side obediently, doing my duties well."

Aiden Shaw’s thin lips moved slightly: "You all heard that."

Tiana quickly nodded, her manner adorable and innocent: "I heard it."

"What about the others?" His eyebrows slightly raised, his deep voice was as cold as ever, devoid of other emotions.

Abe Rooney quickly nodded: "Heard it, Master."

Jesse Rivers and Uncle Hayes also nodded.

Isaac just nodded slightly.

Joyce’s heart leaped with joy, her eyes full of excitement.

As she thought, Master Shaw wouldn’t be so heartless to her, he made everyone hear her apology.

Since she apologized, this matter should be settled.

No matter how proud Tiana Thorne was, what could she do?

Once her leg healed, she would repay today’s humiliation.

This time she got away, next time she wouldn’t be that lucky.

Thinking about Tiana’s future downfall, she couldn’t help but curl her lips into a smile.

Looking at Aiden Shaw with affectionate eyes, her voice grew softer, calling his name: "Master Shaw."

Aiden Shaw’s sharply defined face remained as cold as an ice mountain, his dark brown eyes carried a layer of chill: "Since you all heard, don’t be absent in court."

Joyce’s tender expression froze on her face, her already sorry-looking face flashed various colors, appearing particularly ugly.

Suddenly, a bad premonition arose, murmuring: "Court, what does that mean?"

"All these years, I visit your parents’ graves on their anniversaries, as for you, don’t go anymore."

Having finished, Aiden Shaw stood up, tall and imposing, exuding a daunting presence.

The subtle aroma of herbs mixed with orchid musk lingered around, the different scents blended harmoniously, creating a unique fragrance, refreshing her breath.

"Master Shaw, don’t leave, what do you mean by that? Don’t go, don’t abandon me."

As Aiden Shaw passed her, he didn’t glance at her, leaving behind a chilling figure.

From heaven to hell was but a moment, she couldn’t believe he left just like that after saying those words.

No longer daring to harbor any illusions, her voice trembled: "Uncle, Uncle, tell me, what does Master Shaw mean?"
