Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 288 - 287: Noticing the Subtlety

Otherwise, why would he investigate Arthur Donovan?

Breathing grew tighter, heart beating faster again.

Tiana Thorne turned to look at him, with emotions stirring in her heart that couldn’t be dispelled. She opened her mouth, just about to ask him.

Outside the door came May Sloane’s urgent voice.

"Tiana, it’s your scene now. Everyone is in place already, hurry out!"

The unsettling feeling within Tiana Thorne suddenly vanished.

She paused, gently raised her eyes, which twinkled like a fox’s, more scrutinizing than amused. After a while, she lightly tilted her lips: "Since Mr. TWO doesn’t want to admit he helped me, I take back my thanks."

Indeed, she’s a little fox who wouldn’t take any loss.

Julian Ford didn’t speak, his smile growing more enchanting: "Okay."

Tiana Thorne pursed her lips before turning around and heading outside.

Her hand landed on the doorknob, and she narrowed her eyes slightly.

Mr. TWO must share some subtle connection with her, or else her spiritual intuition wouldn’t have surfaced.

At the doorway, Tiana Thorne once again flashed a charming yet mischievous smile, turning back to say, "Goodbye, Mr. TWO," as she licked her little tiger teeth.

Then, she opened the door and left.

"Let me see if your makeup is smudged," May Sloane said.

Tiana Thorne shook her head, "No, what do you think I did?"

Bam.

The door closed.

Julian Ford returned to sit on the floor in front of the computer, leaning back with a faint, indulgent smile on his lips.

His gaze fell upon the information about Arthur Donovan on the computer, thinking that his sister must have seen the data on the screen.

If he could find Arthur Donovan, then his little sister surely could too.

Unhurriedly, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one, and took a gentle puff. Playing with his phone amidst the swirling smoke, his already handsome features became even more alluring.

He dialed Maxim Ford’s number.

It rang several times before Maxim picked up.

"Julian, what’s going on?"

Julian Ford lazily tilted his lips: "Big brother, arrange a meeting with my little sister for me."

Maxim Ford sounded a bit surprised, his voice clear and pleasant: "I mentioned it to her earlier, that you wanted to meet her. But with so much happening recently, she might have forgotten. However, with Ella Rivers going crazy, little sister’s mood must be good according to her style, and she’ll remember. Didn’t you also mention wanting her to recognize you herself?"

"Almost. If she truly recognizes me on her own, wouldn’t it be less of a surprise?" Julian Ford laughed, his indulging voice softened to a nearly heavenly tone despite its usual huskiness.

Maxim Ford: "Weren’t you just jealous before?"

"Not anymore," Julian Ford said boldly, then continued: "She visited me earlier, and for a moment, her expression changed. She saw that I was looking into Arthur Donovan’s information."

"Do you think she’s suspected you helped her and thus suspects you as her second brother?"

Julian Ford shook his head, leisurely flicking ash from his cigarette: "Not exactly, no suspicion, but given her intelligence, she should soon know. Isn’t my little sister’s intuition always spot on?"

"I once said there’s no need to make it so complicated, wouldn’t it be better to recognize openly from the start?" Maxim Ford’s voice lengthened slightly, seemingly a bit helpless.

"That would lack fun, besides, isn’t our little sister quite happy?" Julian Ford tilted his lips into a smile.

"Ah, Julian, you’re just jealous of me and our little sister."

Julian Ford chuckled softly, his voice rare in its genuine warmth: "Isn’t jealousy over little sister natural?"

Maxim Ford laughed lightly, his voice consistently elegant: "I’ll arrange it for tomorrow night, let’s hope as you say, it’s a surprise, not a shock."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Julian Ford’s gaze returned to Arthur Donovan’s monkey-like thin face, curling his lips into a wicked smile, his brow coldly dangerous.

If he remembers correctly, Arthur Donovan also came to Azurea.

Yet, more than dealing with Arthur Donovan, he’s eagerly anticipating tomorrow night. How will his little fox sister react upon seeing him?

Film crew.

Tiana Thorne is about to shoot a new scene.

This time, not with Clement Xavier, but playing as Cain Rhodes, the Prime Minister of the Demon realm.

Speaking of veterans in the entertainment circle, Cain Rhodes is one of them.

At thirty-seven, he’s a friendly artist admired in the industry, once winning ’Best Actor’. Whenever people talk about him, the label that pops into their minds is: seasoned actor.

He’s the idol of many artists in the circle.

His participation in this film will surely elevate its quality.

Moreover, he is someone May Sloane has always admired.

This admiration is different from that for Mr. TWO.

Her regard for Mr. TWO is mysterious admiration, amazed by his incredible prowess, whereas for Cain Rhodes, it’s respect; he feels mature and stable, always calm and kind within the circle.

Thus, she began to chatter again: "Tiana, I didn’t expect Cain Rhodes to play the Prime Minister Victor Fox. From what I hear, artists interviewed about their scenes with him say acting alongside him is a pleasure."

"Really?"

May Sloane nodded repeatedly: "Definitely, you’ll have many scenes with him. He’s playing a major villain role. Didn’t you once say you wanted to act alongside a villain?"

"Why didn’t he come earlier?" Tiana Thorne asked.

"Schedule conflicts, shooting in other places too, running between both."

In Tiana Thorne’s mind, only two words appeared: rich.

She curled her lips into a smile: "So let’s meet this remarkable character."

Then, she went to the ancient city with May Sloane.

Seeing the stone bench, Tiana Thorne, without meaning to, recalled intentionally throwing a stone at Aiden Shaw’s car, smiling faintly. Next time, if Aiden Shaw annoys her, she’ll aim for his head.

Hmph!

They quickly arrived at the shooting location.

From a distance, she heard Eugene Dawson saying: "No such thing, having Brother Cain make a cameo is our ’Fox Immortal’ crew’s immense fortune."

"Director Dawson, don’t say that, I’m just an actor; it’s my honor that you appreciate me."

Gazing upon Cain Rhodes’ face, Tiana Thorne’s first impression was of a good-natured gentleman, with a mild and stable presence that didn’t stir dislike.

Still, she preferred Clement Xavier’s elegant and gentle aura.

In her thoughts, Tiana Thorne had already walked closer: "Director Dawson."

Eugene Dawson frowned, given Cain Rhodes’ presence, he felt the need to speak a bit: "Tiana, why are you just arriving? We’ve been waiting for you."

Tiana Thorne pressed her lips, her model student mode activated, eyes obedient like a cat as she softly said, "Sorry, I was reviewing the script in the room. It won’t happen again."

Eugene Dawson seeing her act: "..."

How did he not realize before that Tiana Thorne is a drama queen?

Cain Rhodes spoke kindly on her behalf: "It’s alright, Director Dawson. No need to criticize. The young lady’s dedication is commendable."

Tiana Thorne raised her eyes and saw a subtle meaning in this glance.
