Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 372 - 371: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
Dalton Grant nodded: "Gwen Boyce’s fans came over, and some of your fans also showed up. The two groups got into a serious fight."
Tiana Thorne was taken aback: "A fight broke out? What happened next?"
"The situation isn’t good right now. May Sloane went over to try and mediate but got hit as well."
Tiana Thorne: "..."
She paused for a moment: "How is she now?"
"She’s in the hospital."
Tiana Thorne’s expression immediately turned cold.
Daring to lay a hand on her people, that’s quite a bold move!
"What’s the exact situation?" Tiana Thorne asked.
"Your fans started the fight. Things aren’t looking good for you, or rather, for the entire crew."
Tiana Thorne frowned, a bit incredulous.
Her fans actually physically fighting for her—they’re not acting right.
"Are there any videos?"
"We’re retrieving surveillance footage now," Dalton Grant said, his expression also becoming stern.
Tiana Thorne knew that public opinion wouldn’t be favorable toward her right now. Twitter would definitely be filled with complaints. If this continues, it will only get worse and might even affect her collaboration with Dalton Grant.
So, she had to stop it.
Dalton Grant’s silence didn’t mean he had no opinion.
Tiana Thorne said apologetically: "I’m really sorry for causing this, but I will investigate thoroughly and I hope Director Grant gives me some time."
"May Sloane and Finn Pierce are at the hospital. I’ll get a car to take you out the back," Dalton Grant consented.
"Thank you."
Ten minutes later, Tiana Thorne changed outfits and got in the car.
Before leaving, she asked Director Grant to let her see the surveillance video once he got it.
Along the way, her expression was icy. Her intuition told her this incident was more than it seemed.
Fan conflicts happened before, but this one didn’t warrant a fight unless someone was deliberately setting her up.
Thinking about it, Tiana Thorne’s expression grew colder, her brows seemed to gather thick frost, burdening the heart.
The driver glanced at her through the rearview mirror, trying to comfort her: he only felt a malice not befitting her age radiating from her, a stark contrast to her earlier meekness.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the hospital.
Simultaneously, Tiana Thorne acquired the surveillance video.
Dalton Grant had already arranged someone to meet her. She successfully walked past the reporters dressed in a nurse’s uniform.
What worried her now was May Sloane, so she walked quickly, arriving at her room.
Finn Pierce was sitting by the bed watching over her. May Sloane’s face was pale, staring blankly ahead, still frightened.
Tiana Thorne walked directly inside.
When May Sloane saw Tiana Thorne come in, she finally showed some emotion on her face: "Tiana..."
"How is she doing?"
Finn Pierce frowned: "She has a head injury, mild concussion, and some external bruises."
Tiana Thorne also noticed injuries on his arm and nail scratches on his face.
From their conditions, Tiana Thorne could sense how chaotic things got.
More than thirty people were entangled in a fight; when May tried to mediate, it only provoked Gwen Boyce’s fans, who then stopped attacking her fans and turned on May.
May and Finn Pierce were just ordinary people; facing a dozen aggressors, they never stood a chance.
Amid the chaos, someone grabbed May’s hair and violently smashed her head on the ground.
Tiana Thorne took a deep breath, her gaze like an icy spike, chilling the heart.
"Tiana..."
Tiana Thorne asked: "How are you feeling now, can you talk?"
May Sloane nodded: "When I went out, they were already fighting. This time, it’s really bad for you—it’s clear that our fans caused quite a scene and were brutal. If it weren’t for Finn and me, Gwen Boyce’s fan club president might have been beaten to death."
Tiana Thorne felt a sinking inside, narrowing her fox-like eyes: "Was it brutal?"
"When Finn and I went out, that young girl was on the ground, her cheeks covered in blood, probably... disfigured."
Disfigured...
This was not something a normal fan would do.
"What do you think?"
Even though May Sloane was still shaken up, she wasn’t foolish; in times like this, she could still maintain her composure, biting her lip, tears welling up: "Tiana, I feel like we’ve been set up."
As expected, it’s not just her who thinks so.
"Moreover, the other party is particularly malicious, willing to do anything."
Tiana Thorne sat down beside her, gently patting her shoulder: "Don’t worry, I can handle this."
"What did Director Grant say?"
Tiana Thorne explained: "Give me time to handle it, but considering the severity, my situation is very dangerous."
May Sloane was filled with anger: "This is too much!"
Tiana Thorne: "Finn Pierce."
"Yes."
"Stay here with May tonight, I’ll investigate what happened," Tiana Thorne instructed.
May Sloane looked at her, her eyes full of worry; the other party was so vicious, even willing to kill without fear.
Tiana Thorne took out her phone: "Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. Let’s watch this video first, see if we can find any evidence."
"Okay." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
In the video, a woman holding a large photo of her spat with a dark face: "Is your idol living by the sea? Why so wide-reaching?"
"We won’t look into Tiana Thorne’s opportunism, just want an explanation from the director. Our Gwen got into an accident promoting this new drama, why was she so easily replaced? Is this world so cruel?"
Upon hearing this, the woman cursed even more fiercely: "Opportunism? Gwen herself broke her leg and is paralyzed from the waist down, and you’re blaming our Tiana? What logic is that? Get lost!"
The fan club president was also furious after hearing that: "What kind of class is this? How malicious are you?"
"Since her leg’s broken, she should heal obediently instead of stubbornly resisting here. Our Tiana is the most unique. You’re blind to be a fan of Gwen."
"You, you... get out of the fandom!"
The woman’s eyes turned red with fury, she lunged at her: "Say that again?"
"I said get lost."
With those words, the woman slapped her hard, and they began to scuffle, all the while saying: "It’s a blessing for Director Grant’s ancestors to have our outstanding Tiana as the second female lead. What are you making so much noise about? I think she’s overqualified for the second lead, she should be the first, Iris Sterling isn’t suitable at all."
This statement made many people furious.
Fans on both sides tried to intervene but ultimately failed, instead joining the fight.
Tiana Thorne turned off the phone video, sneering: "It’s a pity this woman isn’t an actress. In such a short time, she not only tarnished my name but also hit two birds with one stone, offending Iris Sterling’s fans too."
