Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 431 - 430: He Is Someone Who Knows Gratitude

Chapter 431: Chapter 430: He Is Someone Who Knows Gratitude

Tiana Thorne chuckled softly.

Julian Eames seems to be quite hot-headed.

Before I got back from Azurea, that beauty mentioned that Julian came looking for me first thing in the morning, insisting on seeing me.

Isn’t it just that I sent him a beauty? Is it really necessary for him to be so eager to express his gratitude?

"Brother Julian, we’re about to collaborate. As a senior, please guide me in the future," Tiana said, her smile sweet and innocent, her voice genuinely humble.

Julian was fuming inside, wishing he could swallow her whole.

"Tiana, what grudge do I have with you? Are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?" Julian’s handsome face was full of anger.

Tiana blinked her eyes: "Why would I want to make things difficult for you?"

"About the last incident, do you just want to brush it off?"

Upon hearing this, she chuckled lightly, and her voice became even more compliant: "I just thought that girl suited you well; you didn’t need to thank me so much~"

"Suited?"

Julian shivered all over, then questioned, "Which of your eyes saw that they suited each other?"

"...I saw it with both my eyes."

As some time passed, she couldn’t quite recall what that sister at the bar looked like, but she vaguely remembered that when she first saw the girl, she thought she was especially fit to be Julian’s partner, enchanting and alluring...

"Tiana!" Julian was furious, totally losing his composure.

"What? Did she think you’re not good enough and ran away?"

Julian saw her blinking those innocent, beautiful fox-like eyes, and felt both angry and helpless inside.

He had always treated beauties with gentlemanly respect, forcibly suppressing his anger: "Do you know her?"

"I don’t know her."

Julian’s forehead veins twitched, he frowned and asked, "Then do you know what she looks like without makeup?"

Tiana: "..."

May Sloane, who was rushing from the restroom, happened to hear this sentence, and recalling the morning they left Azurea, thought, is this an attempt to find fault?

Tiana smiled: "Could it be..."

"Shut up," Julian scolded her.

Tiana immediately understood, wanting to laugh but feeling it would be too outrageous, knowing her good-girl image shouldn’t crumble too soon in front of them.

But May, realizing the situation, erupted into laughter: "Pfft..."

Women truly are terrifying creatures, looking one way with makeup, and transforming when without it.

Julian’s angry face showed a blush, then turned pale: "Did you really not know?"

"Even Brother Julian couldn’t recognize that face, how could I possibly tell? I just wanted to give you a gift, who would have known..."

As she spoke, Tiana bit her lip, appearing both innocent and regretful, her fox-like eyes flashing with a hint of frustration.

Finally, Julian believed her.

He looked around and said in a deep voice, "Don’t let anyone hear about this."

"...Understood."

Subsequently, Julian walked away quickly, feeling as if he had swallowed broken teeth, unbearably uncomfortable.

Once he was out of sight, May couldn’t help but say, "Whoa Tiana, you really are something, sending him a dud. You know Julian has always only loved beauties, and now he’s got quite a psychological shadow from this."

Tiana watched his angry back, inexplicably finding it a little cute: "I didn’t do anything so outrageous. Let’s just say Julian, the drunkard, finally met a ghost on the night road."

May laughed again, and visions of the incident involuntarily resurfaced: "Tiana, do you think Julian slept with that woman?"

"I don’t know."

May analyzed, "No wonder there’s been no gossip about Julian recently. He’s too scared now, and those beauties who wanted a night with him must be heartbroken."

"Let’s go."

"Mm."

She still had to meet Eugene Dawson and Dalton Grant.

Arriving at the office, she knocked on the door.

"Come in," it was Joel Fletcher’s voice.

Tiana pushed the office door open, seeing Dalton Grant and Eugene Dawson both holding scripts, deep in thought, while she also saw Wesley Hughes.

After Arthur Donovan went to prison, he returned to a normal life, quickly making a name for himself in the entertainment industry.

Wesley felt a stir within upon seeing her, his gaze was much more respectful than before.

He was a person who understood gratitude.

"Tiana, come take a look at the script," Eugene already regarded her as his leading lady, his voice soft.

"Alright."

May watched from the side, feeling something indescribable inside, remembering how Director Dawson didn’t think much of Tiana before, but now he considered her one of his own.

She thought that soon, Tiana would definitely become a sensation in the entertainment circle.

Tiana read through the script.

It’s a tragically realistic piece, telling the story of three young women and two young men going down to the countryside to teach.

The countryside isn’t just poor but also remote, lacking roads and electricity, with not even a source of clear water. The children on the mountain are deprived of education, as if isolated from the world.

After hearing about the situation, two young women headed to the countryside and lived very hard lives. After ascending the mountain, going down took more than a three-hour walk.

In this drama, there’s no particular leading lady, and it feels like the four youths have similar parts.

The one who could be considered the lead is Melody Vance.

It primarily tells of a female student, Flora Warren, who is thirteen years old, from a poor family, whose parents don’t understand education, don’t believe their child should leave the mountains, or that studying can make life better.

The parents only know farming labor, thinking school is a waste of working time.

The other kids in the mountain went, but they kept their daughter home for farm work.

Melody and the male lead Reed Rivers went to Flora Warren’s home several times but were turned away. By the time school started, they hadn’t convinced her parents to let her attend.

All the children big and small came for grade-one textbooks, with the oldest student being seventeen.

Initially, no one understood manners, and during lunch, they wouldn’t wait for others, it was like a battle; their eyes wary.

The boys were very naughty, thinking the teachers who spoke differently were monsters, often throwing stones or pouring water on their beds.

One day, when Melody was washing her hair with her eyes closed, a boy caught a mouse and threw it on her head.

Though Melody was not a wealthy lady, she grew up in the city and couldn’t bear it, crying bitterly and wanting to quit teaching.

She wanted to escape, sneaking down the mountain.

That day, it was Reed Rivers’ math lesson. She left the school and saw Flora Warren at the door.

Flora was very afraid of her, but also seemed curious about something. Finally, mustering courage, she approached Melody and quietly asked her a question.

That question changed Melody’s life.

In Mandarin, what’s the difference between ’we’ and ’I’?
