Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 294 - 293: Intentional

"Yes."

Previously, he had accompanied her as well, but May rarely let him do anything; he spent most of his time in the room.

Tiana Thorne raised an eyebrow, showing a hint of her little canine teeth: "So today, why don’t you watch how my acting is, hmm?"

"...Okay."

Though unlikely, he felt that something might happen to Cain Rhodes tonight.

Lost in thought, a group of people approached, and the lights in the bamboo forest suddenly brightened.

Tiana Thorne hid the wickedness in her eyes, revealing a faint smile, portraying the essence of a good girl with finesse.

Turning around, she saw Director Dawson walking side by side with Cain Rhodes.

Tiana Thorne stepped forward to greet them, stopping in front of the two: "Director Dawson, Brother Cain."

The way she called him "Brother Cain," her voice deliberately lowered, felt intoxicatingly sweet to the bones.

It was completely different from when she addressed him as a senior.

Cain Rhodes gave her a longer look, noticing her brows full of smiles, her dark pupils in the night seemed filled with stars, radiant and captivating.

Truly a girl with spirit...

Eugene Dawson asked her, "Why did you come so early?"

Tiana Thorne smiled, her dimples adorably cute, carrying an inexplicable hint of allure, her lips curling up: "Because I was late during the day and made Brother Cain wait for long, and the shoot even injured him..."

Saying that, she paused lightly, as if feeling a bit guilty: "I thought, if I came earlier tonight, I could spend more time to check how Brother Cain’s injury is doing."

Eugene Dawson: "..." Oh, give me a break.

If Tiana Thorne were truly as sincere as she claimed, he wouldn’t even need to be a director.

Though he didn’t know the reason, he could tell for sure that Tiana Thorne didn’t like Cain Rhodes.

This "Brother Cain," might sound natural to others, but to him, it was filled with murderous intent.

Cain Rhodes gave a modest smile and said warmly, "Miss Thorne, there’s no need to worry about it. Who hasn’t been injured while filming? Getting injured is also an honor." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Honor?

Tiana Thorne laughed and said softly, "That’s good."

She was about to make what he considered an honor, more real.

The previous one didn’t count!

Eugene Dawson temporarily couldn’t understand what Tiana wanted to do, so he quickly started work, making all the preparations.

Tonight was going to be a fight scene.

Tiana Thorne had filmed many fight scenes before; though not perfect, they were better than the majority in the entertainment industry.

Each held a long sword in their hand, standing at either end of the bamboo forest, waiting for the director’s command.

The moment Tiana Thorne received the sword, her eyes turned fierce and cold, as if already in character.

Cain Rhodes looked at her; under the moonlight, Tiana Thorne, dressed in a black robe, her eyes sharp, containing the chill of autumn,

Her eyes also carried a bit of melancholy, staring at him intently, as if she wanted to see through him.

A chill ran through Cain Rhodes, feeling that her gaze was eerily familiar.

Where had he seen it before? He couldn’t recall.

But deep inside, he felt a strong aversion, an instinctive fear of seeing such an expression.

He closed his eyes, pretending as if dust had gotten into them, reached out to rub them, and opened his eyes to see her giving a gentle smile.

Her expression became vivid, her eyes seemingly speaking.

As if telling him: Don’t be afraid, I am here with you.

His heart was in turmoil.

Was it because they were so far apart, the light wasn’t good, had he seen it wrong?

He wasn’t given the chance to look closely again, as the director shouted, "Action."

All the fleeting emotions vanished for Tiana Thorne, replaced by her in-character appearance.

"Who do you think you are? Just a dog by the Demon King’s side, daring to make decisions for me."

"You hesitate to strike, so I will."

Killing intent filled Tiana Thorne’s gaze, as cold as autumn, with a wicked smile, as if ready to destroy the world, speaking each word slowly: "Do you even deserve it?"

With that, she rushed forward, drawing out Neal Atherton’s sword, slashing towards him: "Today, I’ll show you the price one pays for hurting the little princess."

The sword struck fiercely, leaving no room for mercy.

In that instant, as the blade came down, she pretended to step on her skirt, her face’s killing intent dissipated, and she shouted in terror, "Senior, dodge!!!"

However, everything happened too fast, giving Cain Rhodes no time to react.

He couldn’t dodge, the long sword slashed down.

Tiana Thorne and he both fell to the ground.

Tiana Thorne let out an exclamation, instinctively looking at Cain Rhodes, seeing his face pale, clutching his left shoulder.

Only she knew how much force she used in that strike.

The crew’s sword was blunt on both sides to prevent real injury, not strong enough.

If this were a real longsword, Cain Rhodes’ left arm might have been cut off by her.

Even with a fake sword, there would definitely be a shocking blood mark on his shoulder.

The scene became chaotic, the tension rising sharply.

Eugene Dawson heard Cain Rhodes’ heart-wrenching cry and was stunned.

Tiana Thorne, how dare she?

He rushed forward, everyone surrounding Cain Rhodes to check his injuries.

Only Finn Pierce, the first to rush towards Tiana Thorne during the incident, tried to help her up.

Tiana Thorne didn’t get up, her face showing immense pain.

Over the years Cain Rhodes had filmed, it was never smooth sailing, and he had sustained numerous injuries.

Moreover, he was a man, losing composure for just a moment, then instantly regaining his usual demeanor.

After being helped up, he didn’t blame Tiana Thorne but instead worriedly asked, "Miss Thorne, are you okay?"

Tiana Thorne looked up at him, tears glistening with starlight in her eyes: "I’m fine, Brother Cain, how about you?"

That little look...

Any man would find it hard to blame her.

"Get up quickly." He thought perhaps he was too far from her before, and had seen it wrong.

Tiana Thorne just tried to stand up, staggering, and if Finn Pierce hadn’t been quick to catch her, she might have fallen again.

She bit her lip, slowly lifted her long skirt, her legs very straight and beautiful.

But her knees were purple-red, some areas with the skin broken, bleeding profusely.

Everyone gasped, the blame on Eugene Dawson’s tongue was hard to utter.

Tiana Thorne furrowed her brow, let the skirt down, and looked at Cain Rhodes with genuine remorse: "I’m sorry, I was too clumsy and hurt you again."

Cain Rhodes also felt pain but shook his head: "It’s fine."

Eugene Dawson could only announce the cancellation of the evening’s shoot, letting everyone go back to rest.

Cain Rhodes was taken away in the limelight by everyone.

Tiana Thorne, limping, was assisted back to the lounge by Finn Pierce.

When the door closed, a playful smile emerged in Tiana Thorne’s eyes.
