Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 334 - 333: The Truth That Once Shattered Him
"Alright."
Finn Pierce nodded and handed the diary to her.
Not everything Tiana Thorne said to Arthur Donovan was true, but none of it was false either.
Naturally, Lily Sloane wouldn’t write about those three men treating her like that in the notebook.
Because, to her, that would be a form of humiliation.
Therefore, the notebook only recorded all the beautiful things.
Tiana Thorne placed her hand on it, almost able to sense the emotions Lily Sloane felt when she wrote in the diary.
Every day was different.
Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness each occupied a part.
May Sloane’s eyes were somewhat red: "Tiana, will this notebook be turned over to the police?"
"It will."
Tiana Thorne nodded, with a dangerous smile, lightly raising an eyebrow: "It won’t just go to the police; it will go to him too."
May Sloane knew this notebook might truly break Cain Rhodes.
No.
It was Dominic Rhodes.
He wasn’t worthy of the name her sister had given him.
...
In the following days, the police conducted various checks on those who committed crimes in those years.
Finally, they came to a conclusion.
Lily Sloane’s death was indeed related to them.
And Dominic Rhodes confessed without resistance, telling the police all about the criminal process.
Ultimately, all four people ended up in prison.
Dominic Rhodes was in prison, stripped of his past star image, sitting quietly on a single bed in his prison uniform.
In his hand, he held a diary, Lily’s.
With each page he turned, his mood became heavier.
Lily Sloane: "Today, I took on a new artist, considered a good prospect. Though I don’t like representing men, she will never betray the nature of work; she must strive to make him famous."
"Another sunny day, ha, filthy Director Warren, does he really think I’d sleep with him? He probably doesn’t know my methods yet."
Dominic Rhodes remembered this was during the time he followed her, the first drama he took on with her, but later the ratings weren’t good.
In the first half, he barely appeared in Lily’s diary, but everything was written around him.
Negotiating a drama cooperation, appearance fees for variety shows, the initial phase of taking on movies, her extensive visits.
She never mentioned how tired or difficult it was; her diary recorded only this collaboration failed, that collaboration succeeded.
She seemed to work around him, with no personal space of her own.
Finally, he appeared in her diary.
It was after the night he had relations with her.
Ming.
He remembered by then he was already famous, everyone called him Cain Rhodes, only she remembered his original name.
Further back, little by little, it let him see all her beautiful qualities, efforts, and hardships...
Dominic Rhodes’s heart was immensely heavy, as if a stone had been pressing on him, causing discomfort.
And what Tiana Thorne said was never written in the diary.
Lily Sloane was a woman who pursued perfection, unwilling to record those filthy things in it.
It was now, in hindsight, that Dominic Rhodes began to feel terrified.
How did Tiana Thorne know these things?
It was as if when those events happened, a camera was installed on him, and all his actions hadn’t escaped her eyes.
He thought while turning the pages, arriving at a very long diary entry.
"I know Cain Rhodes is no longer the person he once was; he has ambitions and dreams. Perhaps, I shouldn’t interfere with him. If you truly love someone, you love all of them and support their decisions.
I’ve been a manager for ten years, always searching for a man who could make me stop, be his gentle wife, give him adorable children, and offer him a home, giving me a future. Now, I’ve found him.
Ming, I’m pregnant with your baby. Today, I just found out, there are two heartbeats, twins.
Seven years, not devoid of glory. I love you, and I don’t want to be the formidable woman people fear any longer. It’s time to lay down these thorns.
You said, are our babies dragon-phoenix twins or just twins? I never asked you this. Do you prefer daughters or sons?
You men prefer sons to carry on the family line. But I like daughters, they’re so adorable.
But as long as they’re our babies, whether boy or girl, I will love them dearly. Once you return from your trip, I’ll tell you we should marry and stay together forever. You can decide the names for the children."
Finally, there was a date.
Dominic Rhodes’s hands trembled terribly, nearly unable to grip the diary. He used great force, fingertips pale, eyes inexplicably red.
Lila...
He looked at the date in the diary, and immediately tears welled up.
He remembered that day.
He wasn’t on a business trip at all; he was discussing with Arthur Donovan and the other three how to deal with Lily Sloane...
That night, he returned with his designs planned, and it was him who pushed her into death.
She greeted him at the airport, got in the car, and without a word, kissed him, expressing her longing.
He seemed still to remember the warmth of embracing her.
She had always been dignified, elegant, and graceful. That day, she seemed like a girl in love, immersed in a passionate romance.
She always called him Ming, and until she got out, she held his hand: "Ming, I arranged a candlelit dinner for you, to welcome you, and there’s something very important to tell you."
Why didn’t he go to that dinner back then, nor listen to her continue?
For a brief moment, he remembered everything, as he wanted to get rid of her. He refused and said he had arranged to meet friends and would tell him after returning home at night.
He thought, her so-called important matter was just booking him another show, to bind him this way, making it hard for him to switch jobs in a short time.
This was her usual binding method.
She agreed without the slightest hesitation and even said: "Alright, tonight is just for our two-person world. I’ll tell you the good news then."
He nodded.
Why didn’t he notice her anomaly?
She used to be able to drink extensively, but that night, for some reason, she refused alcohol. Then he opened a bottle of wine for her.
It was also him who urged her, drinking just a cup.
After one cup, she sat drowsily on the couch, telling him she couldn’t drink anymore.
He didn’t force her, asking for her hand in marriage.
Looking back, it was clear she only wanted to protect the child.
Why did she later commit suicide...
It wasn’t due to his extreme tenderness after her violation, making it unbearable for her.
What she couldn’t bear was being made to believe she was the happiest woman in the world on the same day.
Having babies, the beloved man proposing...
But in a single night, everything was gone.
That night, the babies were lost, happiness shattered...
Dominic Rhodes’s tears dampened this diary entry, fearing they would blur her writing, hurriedly reaching out to wipe the tears off the diary.
Once dry, he trembled as he attempted to turn to the next page.
