Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 265 - 264: This Candy Is Just Late, Not Missing
May Sloane clapped her hands, "I’ll arrange it right now, make that dead fish disappear."
"Okay." Tiana Thorne lazily curved her lips, her eyes bright with enthusiasm. She was becoming increasingly eager to see what kind of expression Ella Rivers would have upon seeing these videos.
Did they really think she’d forgotten?
The pain she’d endured was buried within her shell, never to be forgotten.
It was a little after four in the afternoon.
Tiana Thorne finished filming a fight scene with the demon tribe, and she was almost about to faint from exhaustion.
It’s not that she was too fragile, but her body was too weak.
First, she lost too much blood, then she was trapped in an elevator, drained of strength, and a high fever had lowered her immunity. By now, she was utterly exhausted.
But she still couldn’t rest because Director Dawson said it would rain for the next four days, which would affect Azurea’s weather. So, they needed to capture the beautiful scenes of the sunrise and sunset at Mount Caelus while the sky was clear, to shoot an emotional scene.
This part of the scene was very important, as it concerned the romantic development between the male and female leads.
The crew left the filming base at precisely 4:30, heading towards Mount Caelus of Azurea.
Upon reaching the mountaintop, there was no rest. The director’s team began moving the filming equipment.
On the way there, Tiana Thorne didn’t rest for a moment, afraid of missing the sunset. She was doing her makeup in the car. As the bumpy mountain road ceased, she continued applying her makeup when they got off the vehicle.
Fortunately, they made it in time for the sunset.
Patrick Atherton, carrying a severely injured little fox spirit, arrived at the mountaintop. Unable to move any further, he sat down to rest, letting the little fox lie against his shoulder.
At this moment, Tiana Thorne was very fragile and tired, it seemed any movement could cost her life.
She gently opened her eyes, gazing at the nearby evening glow, spreading across the sky like blazing flames, casting a fiery red over the land, making some trees look as if they were wearing new clothes, sparkling and beautiful.
The sunset here was so beautiful!
For a moment, Tiana’s eyes were lively, then she murmured, "Patrick, what is this place, it’s so beautiful..."
"Mount Seraph," Patrick replied.
"What a beautiful name. If I were to die here, I might become a butterfly..."
Neal Atherton’s breathing tightened, and despite his usual calm tone, there was a hint of excitement: "Tiana, you won’t die."
Tiana Thorne smiled, which pulled at her wound, causing her to frown. She took a deep breath and didn’t speak for a long time.
A breeze swept by, and she softly said, "It’s a pity..."
"What pity?"
"It’s a pity... a pity..." She smacked her lips, not finishing the sentence before losing consciousness.
If you tie it back to the previous episodes, just from her smacking her lips, the audience watches and knows at a glance: too bad, she hasn’t eaten you yet.
"Cut!" the director exclaimed excitedly.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as if a weight lifted.
Because they called "cut" just as the red sunset gradually faded, although it was still a red sky, the light wasn’t as good as before.
If the actors hadn’t nailed it, even a reshoot wouldn’t have the same scenery.
Clement Xavier was just about to move when he realized that Tiana Thorne had fallen asleep against his shoulder.
Her soft, fragile state seemed to cry out for a safe haven.
Clement Xavier didn’t move, maintaining his previous position. When he suddenly heard the crew making loud noises, he signaled them with a glance to be quiet.
May Sloane watched this scene, feeling like her teenage heart was about to explode.
She began to suspect she was a woman who couldn’t stay loyal.
Why did she forget the Sloane-Thorne couple again and want to raise the Honey Sloane flag high?
Remembering Tiana Thorne’s instructions before shooting, she quickly picked up her phone, taking a picture of the two from behind.
Click.
The breathtaking scene was captured on her phone.
Oh Tiana, even when sick, you can’t stop stirring things up. Simply too audacious!
No, not audacious, just very dedicated.
When they went to pick up Clement Xavier earlier, Tiana said she wanted to give Honey Sloane fans something sweet, but an elevator mishap lost the candy.
But Tiana is very pampering to her fans; that sweetness may be delayed, but it’s not denied.
Happily, she opened Weibo.
Tiana’s plan was that Ella Rivers would start spreading dirt on her that night on Weibo. To her surprise, she couldn’t bear the loneliness so early.
She held off on looking at it first, posted the picture on Weibo, and added the caption: "Neal, thank you for your shoulder, let the little fox spirit sleep a while longer."
After it successfully posted, May Sloane finally clicked on the post that was going viral, titled, "New Entertainment Gossip of ’Fox Spirit’".
The video showed Tiana Thorne hitting Ella Rivers, not only played but narrated by an editor.
"The much-anticipated ’Fox Spirit’ has started filming, and there were many twists and turns in casting the female lead. It was really nerve-wracking. This video is a scene with the female lead Tiana Thorne as the fox spirit Tiana and Clement Xavier as the male lead. The two had an intense confrontation, with action scenes that left people sighing."
After that, the editor stopped speaking.
Only the sound of two slaps was heard, vividly underlining the tension. It made you feel as though the slaps landed on your own face, quite the startle.
Initially, all the focus was on Ella Rivers’ expression. Watching the video, however, revealed something more.
Oh my, Tiana put all her strength into those two slaps.
Satisfying!
The editor’s annoying voice piped up again, "Who knew the actors were really hitting each other? Seeing Ella Rivers’ pretty cheek makes me reluctant, but I have to say, they are very dedicated. However, some netizens speculate if it’s personal revenge due to a previous incident involving Celine Steel."
After stating their piece, the video replayed the slapping scene.
May Sloane felt disgusted. This obnoxious editor praises the dedication of the characters on the surface, yet seems to take Ella Rivers’ side underneath.
No netizens actually speculated—it’s just his way of leading the narrative.
A bunch of unaware netizens, filled with righteous indignation, started siding with Ella Rivers, launching moral critiques and insults.
"Tiana’s devious, using fight scenes to bully Ella Rivers."
"I’m impressed with Ella Rivers for enduring and professionally continuing the shoot, instant fan conversion here."
"Tiana, such a scheming bitch, surely comes from a family of scoundrels lurking in slime, but no need to be angry. Such maliciousness will certainly not end well."
"Seeing everyone criticizing her makes my heart settle."
"Stop insulting her. She’s also trying hard to act. Ladies, just smack her; men, go after her. A white lotus blooming from summer to fall."
Weibo buzzed with activity as netizens reposted, spread the news, and tagged others. In an instant, Tiana Thorne became the most villainous female star in the entertainment circle.
