Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 279 - 278: Don’t Forget the Promise

Just then, the ringtone of May Sloane’s phone suddenly rang, interrupting Tiana Thorne’s train of thought.

Tiana was sitting close enough to see the caller ID clearly: President Pace.

The two exchanged glances.

Tiana gave her a look that said not to back down.

May answered Cody Pace’s call, putting it on speaker with a smile flickering at her cheeks, and in an official tone said, "President Pace."

"Was this incident caused by you guys?"

Cody Pace had already confirmed, which is why he called; there was no hiding it. Tiana signaled her to answer truthfully.

May replied, "Yes."

Before Cody Pace could explode with anger, May quickly reassured him, "Rest assured, President Pace, this will not have any negative impact on Zenith Media."

"If the crew’s meals are too bland, take Tiana out to eat occasionally. After all, with so much blood loss, I don’t want her health to affect the current buzz."

Cody Pace’s voice was even more formal than May’s.

May nodded, "Don’t worry, we won’t hold you back."

"Hmm."

Tiana’s eyes became gradually colder and she gave her a reminder with her gaze.

May immediately caught on and said, "Tiana asked me to remind you not to forget your promise to her."

"I know, if there’s any negative impact this time, the company will hire PR; you just need to do your own thing well."

"Yes, President Pace."

After hanging up the call, May let out a long breath and gave the phone an annoyed look, muttering, "Hmph, damn capitalist, as expected, only cares about profit, not sincerity."

Tiana’s long brows furrowed briefly as if recalling something and she looked at her, "To a capitalist, only money matters, not people, right?"

"Right, look at President Pace, when the incident in the bamboo grove happened, he didn’t call to check on you, but now that things are looking up, he knows to reach out."

Tiana lightly curled her lips, with a mischievous sparkle in her eyes, licking her lips but saying nothing.

When she thought about it, Aiden Shaw was also a capitalist. Thus, the favor she owed him in the bamboo grove probably wasn’t going to be forgotten easily.

Maybe he was just waiting for the day he would suddenly ask for it back.

May gazed at her foggy look and cautiously asked, "What are you thinking about, Tiana?"

Tiana smiled with a hint of nonchalance in her voice, "Of course, I’m thinking about what Ella Rivers looks like right now."

"How about we go take a look?" May asked, barely able to contain her excitement.

"I was just thinking the same."

In this aspect, Tiana and May matched perfectly, enjoying the failed embarrassment of their enemies. When seeing someone utterly hopeless, the feeling was simply satisfying!

Tiana and May walked out of the room together.

Eugene Dawson was the one most troubled. Now, with "The Fox Fairy" halfway through filming, this incident made Ella Rivers useable no longer, causing too much impact, potentially affecting the ratings of the show.

Eugene Dawson saw Tiana and her agent walking over together and hurried over, "Tiana."

"Hello, Director Dawson." Tiana still appeared as obedient as ever.

"About Ella Rivers..."

"I saw the Weibo hot search." The usual obedient look on Tiana’s face rarely showed indignation, her eyes moist, "I didn’t expect she would do this to me."

"Alright, alright, the truth has come to light, and with this trend, Ella Rivers will end up in jail."

Tiana’s heart felt satisfied.

Just as she wished.

For Ella Rivers, the worst despair was not that she would go to jail, but that she would be caught at the peak of her success and sent there.

To know that the dull and laborious life in prison would only wear down her will until she truly collapsed.

Tiana feigned ignorance and asked, "So what does Director Dawson mean?"

"We’ll replace the second lead actress."

"Have you decided on someone?" Tiana suddenly wanted to know how efficient her brother’s arrangement with Aiden Shaw was.

"Not yet."

Darn it, that fourth Young Master Shaw really wasn’t cute at all.

Eugene Dawson asked, "Do you have a reliable person in mind?"

"I can’t decide who gets cast." Tiana smiled and added, "Besides, this show has so much of Fourth Young Master Shaw’s investment; he should soon confirm the second female lead with you."

Eugene Dawson nodded, his voice somewhat wearied, "I didn’t expect you’d have the same opinion as Brother Feng."

Tiana gently curled her lips, still embodying that pure and obedient aura, as if inadvertently asking, "Has Ella Rivers left the crew now?"

"She’s in her room."

Tiana blinked her eyes and asked again, "Can I go see her?"

"Mr. Two is there."

Tiana: "..."

Unconsciously, she recalled the faint sandalwood scent lingering near her nose.

Those beautiful fox-like eyes brimmed with starry light, deep yet expansive, eventually curling into a slight mischievous smile, a touch of allure undetected by anyone.

She asked again, "Where’s Brother Feng?"

"He’s in the room watching the filming of Mount Caelus," Eugene Dawson answered.

After asking May to get the script for the next scene from the scriptwriter, Tiana then turned around, taking a few steps before stopping, turning back to look at him, "Director Dawson, when will our promotional photos release?"

Eugene Dawson replied, "They just went out, didn’t you see?"

"Ah, I’ll take a look later, thank you, Director Dawson." Tiana smiled and nodded. As she turned away, a faint, disinterested smile appeared beneath her eyes.

She took out her phone.

The promotional photos of "The Fox Fairy" instantly swept through all headlines and trending lists!

She turned off her phone, a mischievous smile emerging.

After Celine Steel plotted against her, she could have easily brought down Ella Rivers, but she didn’t. Instead, she let it drag on for this moment.

She wanted the photos to be released at the time with a ninety percent chance of topping popularity charts.

So, after so much back-and-forth before, exposing the true colors of Ella Rivers at this moment, viewers would look at the promotional photos again, and "The Fox Fairy" would surely gain more attention, or rather, she would gain more attention.

And that attention was exactly what she wanted!

From the moment the recording was cut to tarnish her, the plan had already begun. She aimed to use Ella Rivers to capture this momentum.

If she had dealt with Ella easily, how could she have garnered countless fans like today?

How could "The Fox Fairy" have skyrocketed to the top of trending topics!?

All of this was within her plan, proceeding extremely smoothly.

Given her bet with Cody Pace: either exit the entertainment circle or seize shares of Zenith Media Corp, every step she took had to be carefully thought out.

Unluckily, Ella Rivers and Celine’s scheming behind the scenes provided her this great opportunity, otherwise, how could she have set up such a big game?

In this moment, every breath felt refreshing; truly, being admired brought an entirely different feeling.

Only, what is TWO, that disaster, doing with Ella Rivers?
