Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 151: Safe and Sound

The change was almost immediately perceptible.

Tiana Thorne also lowered her head to look at her ankle.

A large area was swollen and red, with some purple spots; it was clearly not a light sprain.

Donovan Steel could obviously sense Maxim Ford’s displeasure. His survival instincts kicked in: "Mr. Ford, I didn’t know Mr. Xavier was your friend. This whole thing is really just a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

Tiana didn’t say a word; she enjoyed watching these people who were so arrogant moments ago now groveling like cowards.

"A misunderstanding?" Maxim’s voice was icy cold.

Tiana felt sweet warmth in her heart; it seemed her brother was determined to protect her to the end.

"Yes, yes, yes, I misjudged Todd Barrett, causing Mr. Xavier wrong, and almost causing harm to this young lady. But I will definitely teach Todd a good lesson and make sure it doesn’t happen again."

Donovan Steel had completely forsaken Todd Barrett.

Shocked, Todd Barrett cried out hurriedly, "Brother Donovan, I didn’t do it on purpose. You can’t abandon me."

"Useless creature, keep quiet," Donovan scolded harshly.

Todd’s face turned ashen, and when he wanted to speak again, Donovan’s bodyguard had already walked over and covered his mouth.

Tiana watched this scene; indeed, Donovan Steel was no good guy.

"This incident happened in a public place. Zephyr will certainly be affected. Donovan, do you think that by throwing Todd under the bus, the matter will be settled?"

Upon hearing this, Donovan’s expression became even more flustered: "Absolutely not. I will spend a lot to cover up this incident."

Tiana lowered her head, her lips curved into a wicked smile where no one could see.

She guessed her brother wouldn’t let Donovan off easily.

Sure enough, Maxim’s unusually cool voice was heard: "After I return to the group, I will convene a meeting. My assistant will reach out to you for further discussion about the acquisition of your group."

Upon hearing this, Donovan’s legs went weak, and he staggered back, almost falling to the ground.

Calling it an acquisition was a nice way of putting it; in reality, it was just destroying his company.

His Steel family industry would ultimately be ruined in his own hands.

He clenched his fists, glaring at Todd Barrett with deep hatred.

Everyone present felt as if they were watching an intensely exciting drama; Todd Barrett and Donovan Steel were finished.

The crowd whispered among themselves, most of them shocked that the male idol Xavier was actually friends with a powerful mogul.

Maxim Ford looked at Clement Xavier: "Since there’s nothing more, take Miss Thorne to have her injuries checked to see if they’re serious."

Clement Xavier looked at him thoughtfully.

For whom had Maxim really come?

At this point, Tiana, who had been silent, finally laughed softly, speaking with gentle gratitude: "Thank you, Mr. Ford."

Maxim nodded politely, but internally he was very uneasy, eager to squat down and carefully examine her ankle.

At present, the environment didn’t allow it.

Tiana pretended to receive a text message on her phone and quickly sent a message to her brother.

"Dear brother, love you to bits. I’ll sneak out and see you if I have the chance."

Maxim didn’t look at his phone. At this moment, all he felt was heartache, nothing but heartache.

Looking at Donovan again, he added a sentence: "Since Mr. Steel’s people aren’t well-taught, then from now on, teach them well."

Hearing this, Todd Barrett suddenly felt a sense of relief, letting out a long breath.

Maxim didn’t take him away. As long as he stayed with Brother Donovan, he was safe, and everything was fine.
