Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 426 - 425: Did Fourth Master Miss Me?

Uncle Hayes didn’t speak, his eyes filled with the weariness of age, his Adam’s apple moved as though he had a thousand words to say, but in the end, it all became a long sigh.

Seeing this, Joyce Hughes became more anxious: "Uncle, what exactly does Mr. Shaw mean? What does it mean that I don’t need to go to mom and dad’s memorial day?"

Uncle Hayes still didn’t speak, feeling troubled inside but understanding that Mr. Shaw’s actions were already the extent of his kindness.

These are things Joyce should bear herself.

Tiana Thorne saw her in such a state and covered her mouth with a smile: "It means that everyone will testify, accusing your brother of assaulting me. Joyce Hughes, from now on, your life will have nothing to do with Aiden Shaw anymore. Well done indeed."

Joyce’s face grew increasingly pale, and even the slapped area lost its color.

"What’s it mean by having nothing to do with..."

"Is the last sentence Mr. Shaw said really that hard to understand?" Tiana laughed, a bit uninterested in her eyes: "Take good care of yourself, enjoy the last few days happily; prison isn’t like Aiden Shaw’s estate."

Boom——

Like lightning striking the back of Joyce’s head, her mind went blank, only hearing buzzing in her ears.

Mr. Shaw said, in these years, he would go to her parents’ memorial.

Only during these years.

Afterward, he would no longer go.

How could that be...

How could that be...

From now on, she and Shaw would truly be strangers.

Tiana Thorne and Isaac walked outside the living room, only to hear Joyce’s collapsed scream from behind.

The scream was full of endless terror and sorrow.

The harm done would ultimately harm oneself.

If speaking of heart-wrenching, Aiden Shaw was far more skillful.

He knew how to plunge Joyce into real despair.

If Joyce were only imprisoned, she wouldn’t remember the lesson, rather await revenge upon release.

But now, with a simple sentence, Aiden Shaw severed ties with Joyce Hughes, leaving her with no desire to leave even in prison.

Because, the life she yearned for is gone, Aiden Shaw and she couldn’t return.

Even the sibling relationship she once least desired is gone.

Tiana Thorne lightly curved her beautiful red lips, smiling delightfully: "Isaac, do you feel like the weather today is great?"

"Yes, it’s nice." Isaac knew she was in a good mood.

Beyond good, she was simply elated.

Just as she was preparing to head back to her room for a restorative nap, Jesse Rivers crossed her path.

"Miss Thorne."

"What’s up? Is Mr. Shaw missing me?" Tiana licked her lips, her smile both sweet and enchanting, her voice inexpressibly alluring.

Jesse Rivers: "..."

He averted his gaze, coughed lightly: "Mr. Shaw is in the back garden, he asked me to invite you."

Tiana Thorne’s fox-like eyes curved into crescents, revealing two cute little fangs: "Seems he is missing me~"

Jesse Rivers: "..."

Miss Thorne’s alluring charm was truly irresistible...

After that, Tiana Thorne led Isaac towards the back garden.

Jesse Rivers followed behind.

From afar, they could see him sitting in the pavilion, leaving her with a deep and solitary back, like Zephyr passing by with a bit of chill.

With a slight shift in her eyes, she strode over, her voice arriving before she did: "Mr. Shaw, are you bored chilling by yourself so you asked me to keep you company?"

With those words, she reached his side, gazing lazily at his defined and handsome face: "My time is really precious~"

Aiden Shaw raised his eyes to meet hers.

Their eyes locked, as though an unseen transparent line connected the two ends.

One was deep and narrow.

One was seductive and alluring.

Jesse Rivers stood aside, even his breathing slowed significantly.

Isaac hung his head, deep in thought.

They looked at each other for several seconds, neither making a move.

Tiana Thorne approached, a playful smile pulling at her lips: "Did Mr. Shaw call me over to hear a thank you?"

Aiden Shaw remained silent.

Actually, she couldn’t guess why he called her over, just said it casually.

Hearing no response from him, she assumed it was acquiescence.

She sat down on the wooden bench beside him, her posture leisurely, attitude indifferent, eyes harboring a bit of mischievousness: "You might be disappointed."

After all, these things originated because of him; all he did was clearing his own mess, why should she thank him?

"Does Miss Thorne want me to apologize?"

Tiana Thorne shook her head with a smile: "Of course not, she doesn’t represent you, what she did has nothing to do with you; at most, we don’t owe each other now."

Oh.

Not entirely.

She also promised to cure his illness, which counts as a debt.

Tiana Thorne’s vermilion lips curled: "Did Mr. Shaw suspect her from the start?"

"Yes."

Tiana Thorne gently pursed her lips: "Since it’s not to say thanks, I’ll take my leave then."

"Loomis Hughes." Aiden Shaw spoke calmly, his voice slightly deep.

Tiana Thorne arched an eyebrow: "Oh? Is Mr. Shaw reluctant?"

After all, he’s a child of the Hughes family.

"Did he touch you?"

Aiden Shaw’s low voice was unchanged, betraying no emotion.

Yet Jesse Rivers had seen his bloodthirsty side, involuntarily shivering.

"Since it was an assault, of course, he touched me, but he didn’t succeed; what does Mr. Shaw want by asking this?"

Aiden Shaw remained silent for a moment, his obsidian eyes revealing a trace of warmth unseen by himself.

His voice somewhat captivating: "Nothing, go rest."

"Alright."

As Tiana Thorne turned, she suddenly heard him say: "Sorry, there won’t be a next time."

Huh?

She narrowed her fox-like eyes, a bit puzzled as she looked back at him.

Was it Shaw apologizing?

This matter really had nothing to do with him.

However, she wasn’t one to be dramatic; after all, it was Aiden Shaw, his apology naturally accepted, lazily smiling: "No problem, just look after your mess next time."

Jesse Rivers: "..."

Indeed, Miss Thorne’s ability to enchant was never absent.

She was the kind who flourished easily, but her brilliance was surpassing, more dazzling than the stars.

Tiana Thorne waved her hand and then left.

Aiden Shaw watched her back, his deep black eyes more profound, taking a while before he withdrew his gaze, the aura around him becoming colder.

"Jesse Rivers."

Jesse Rivers’ heart raced, feeling only endless cruelty beneath Mr. Shaw’s calm eyes.

"Mr. Shaw, what are your orders?"

Aiden Shaw lowered his gaze, his voice indescribably serene, chilling: "After Loomis Hughes goes to prison, find a time to visit him in the cell."

"Yes, Mr. Shaw." Jesse Rivers nodded respectfully.

Aiden Shaw lifted his head again, his voice much hoarser: "Do something for me."

Jesse Rivers’ heart again thumped wildly, feeling the chilling aura from him.

Gently nodding: "Mr. Shaw, please tell me."
