Chapter 430: Chapter 429: The Boss Is None Other Than Her Brother

Afterwards, Isaac sent people to escort the three away. He always acted cautiously and wouldn’t give them a chance to slip away before they could testify.

Once everything calmed down, Tiana Thorne recounted everything that happened today at Aiden Shaw’s estate.

"This Joyce Hughes must have lost her mind, no?" May Sloane remarked.

"Pretty much."

"She’s cornered with no way out. She couldn’t think of any other solution before heading to prison, so she wanted to ruin you first," May analyzed.

Tiana chuckled, "Too bad she miscalculated. She’s failed so many times and still hasn’t learned a lesson."

Hearing all of this, May felt quite pleased, all her prior fears gone as she laughed, "Too bad her opponent is you, a fox in human skin."

She lifted her gaze, her smile filled with meaning.

You beauty, you’ve figured me out~

"But seriously, what’s going on with you? Staying comfortably at Mr. Shaw’s estate, how come you ran out?" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Tiana was drinking water and suddenly remembered those dangerously teasing words from Aiden, almost choking.

She coughed lightly, raising an eyebrow flirtatiously, "You know, there’s a tactic called playing hard to get?"

"Really?"

May dragged out her words.

Why did she smell something fishy, could there be some trickery involved?

Tiana lightly bit her red lips, licking them, "Men, their most favorite thing is acting cheap. Ignore them for a few days, and they naturally behave. The more enthusiastic you are, the more they treat you like nothing."

May: "... Sister Tiana, you’re a bit crude."

Tiana: "..."

Only when the little fox swears occasionally does she have that worldly charm that makes her more enticing.

"Let’s sleep."

"Good night."

If sister Tiana doesn’t say anything, she won’t dare to ask, asking would just invite teasing.

...

Under two weeks, "Solitude" wrapped up beautifully.

Another thing to celebrate was that Joyce Hughes received the punishment she deserved, instigating others to break in, rape, and defame others. Furthermore, some of her past misdemeanors were dug up, none of which were good things.

All of these were enough to convict her.

In the end, Joyce Hughes was sentenced to life in prison.

The wicked have their own comeuppance, from now on, only darkness awaits her, with no more sunshine.

Meanwhile, Tiana Thorne’s worth in the entertainment industry increased several times over.

Although she wasn’t a top-tier star, she was at least around fourth-tier, gaining significant fame for a time.

But she didn’t rest, as Wesley Hughes’ script was ready.

Tiana couldn’t suppress her excitement; she would finally collaborate with her second brother.

The competition this time was incredibly intense.

Mabel Hughes and Iris Sterling, two top-tier stars, and she had to compete with them for the lead female role, which was no easy feat, just the online public opinion was overwhelming enough.

Tiana arrived on set early.

"Miss Thorne is here, we’ve been waiting for you."

Tiana smiled as she saw it was Eugene Dawson’s assistant, greeting him, "Hey Archie, long time no see."

Archie nodded, then leaned in and said softly, "Director Dawson thinks highly of you. This movie is a major production; if you land the lead role, it could advantage you for life."

"I appreciate Director Dawson’s confidence, and I’ll work hard," Tiana replied with a teasingly enchanting smile, exuding a sweet and rosy aura.

Archie scratched his head, chuckling, "Everyone knows your capabilities."

"Miss Thorne."

A gentle voice chimed in.

Tiana turned to see Mabel Hughes.

She wore a gentle smile, her eyes calm and refined. Her already beautiful face was even more exquisite and graceful with a gentle twist.

She was dressed casually, in a red and white tracksuit with white sneakers, making her look vibrant and youthful.

As she approached, she spoke again, "It’s been a while since we last met, hope we can work well together this time."

Tiana wasn’t sure if it would be pleasant but knew this woman had her sights set on her second brother.

Her second brother was exceptionally handsome, dubbed a stunning beauty with an undeniably commanding presence; not just any woman could catch his eye.

Tiana smiled softly, tempering her edge, with a gentle voice, "Sister Mabel, you’re a senior. Please take care of me."

Mabel was momentarily surprised, recalling their previous gathering in the restroom where Tiana was the first to speak up for Mr. Ford. Back then, she had a mischievous look and smiled with amusement.

Now, her temperament seemed to have softened somewhat.

The entertainment industry had seemingly removed her sharpness.

Only a momentary daze, she smiled gently and said, "Let’s learn from each other."

At this moment, a staff member approached, nodding respectfully, "Miss Hughes, Director Donovan wants to see you in his office."

Jude Donovan.

The director of "The Emperor’s Mile," someone they met at the previous gathering.

"Okay."

With that, Mabel looked at her warmly, "I’ll head over first, see you later."

"Take care."

Mabel gave a warm smile, her demeanor elegant and noble, both a graceful socialite and an esteemed lady.

Watching her leaving figure, Tiana narrowed her beautiful fox-like eyes slightly.

Indeed, she was quite like Georgia Thorne, flawless in every aspect, which is precisely why one felt she wasn’t a simple person.

"Miss Thorne?"

Tiana withdrew her gaze, smiling softly, "Let’s go."

"Has Clement Xavier arrived?"

"He’s already here."

Tiana smiled again. An old friend, it had been a while.

"That Mabel Hughes has won the Best Actress award; her previous costume fantasy drama was a massive hit, garnering huge traffic. Then there’s Iris Sterling, who has an even higher standing; Miss Thorne, you’ve got some pressure."

Tiana smiled, "Pressure leads to motivation, doesn’t it?"

"Indeed, indeed." Archie grinned.

If it were any other film, the lead female role would certainly be Iris Sterling, Mabel Hughes would be the second lead, and she would, at best, support.

The boss was none other than her second brother.

Moreover, who in the industry didn’t know T.W.O.’s high standards for acting skill?

For any film he directed, there’s no need for stars to bring flow. The three letters T.W.O alone represented a quality masterpiece, with box office earnings beyond measure.

Even playing a minor role in his films would be a gain.

Hence, he didn’t seek big-name stars; rather, stars sought him out.

T.W.O prioritized artistry above fan traffic.

This audition for the lead female role focused strictly on acting skills—no one could top her.

Tiana’s eyes sparkled with cunning brilliance, her mind slightly drawn in, preparing to meet Eugene Dawson.

From behind, a somewhat disgruntled male voice called out, "Tiana Thorne, halt."

A man?

No memory of that voice.

She turned slowly and saw the handsome young man in front of her.

Oh.

Julian Eames.

Tiana raised her hand, smiling sweetly as she greeted, "Hey, Julian, long time no see."

Julian quickly approached, his dark eyes seemed almost ready to spill ink with anger, gritting his teeth, "Tiana Thorne!"
