Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 383 - 382: Tiana Thorne Is Definitely the First Actress to Publicly Clash with Netizens
"Meet Ivy Walsh?" May Sloane thought she misheard.
Tiana Thorne looked at her, her gaze sincere, nodding, "Yes, meet Ivy Walsh. Doesn’t the Discover segment want me to show up? If I don’t, wouldn’t it just be giving others false hope?"
May couldn’t help but laugh, "Tiana, how did I not notice you’re quite the philanthropist?"
"It’s still not too late to find out." Tiana smiled sweetly.
May: "..."
Tiana is truly breathtaking at all times.
"How are you feeling?" Tiana asked with concern.
May nodded, "Not feeling that bad anymore."
"Take good care of yourself. I can’t do without you here."
With those words, Tiana left with her two bodyguards.
She was going to see this fake fan, Ivy Walsh, to see what she had to say and how clever her mudslinging tactics really were.
...
Another hospital.
Ivy Walsh lay in bed, too sore to get up.
A reporter from the Discover segment was interviewing her, asking for details. The more she spoke, the more pitiful she appeared, as if she was just being used, completely innocent.
The Discover segment’s live broadcast was filled with scrolling comments.
"So pitiful, and Tiana Thorne still hasn’t shown up."
"Just a poor little fan wanting to meet Tiana Thorne, and it’s this hard."
"Tiana Thorne deserves to die a thousand deaths."
"No one in the entertainment industry is more disgusting than Tiana Thorne, using fans to stir up trouble. Her whole family should die out."
Tiana watched the scrolling comments with a smile, not the least bit upset. She enjoyed these people’s uproar; the bigger the fuss, the more satisfying the eventual face-slapping would be.
There were ten minutes to her scheduled meeting with Gwen Boyce and Jeff Lee.
Suddenly, she began to look forward to it.
Tiana was escorted by her bodyguards to the door of Ivy Walsh’s hospital room.
After standing still, Tiana looked back at the two, "Wait for me outside, thanks for your hard work."
The two nodded respectfully, "Yes."
Tiana looked at the Discover segment staff, seeing their shocked expressions. She smiled gently, captivatingly, "Hello, ladies, I’m Tiana Thorne. I heard your team is looking for me?"
The two women were blank, still in disbelief.
They thought Tiana Thorne would keep hiding until the matter blew over or she was banned.
After all, many celebs are like that.
And yet, here she was, standing before them.
Tiana spoke again, very politely, "I’m Tiana Thorne, here for the interview. Could you notify the team?"
"Yes... please wait a moment."
A minute later, the hospital room door opened again.
The Discover segment’s ace reporter personally welcomed her inside.
Tiana scanned the room; several staff were holding cameras and pointing them at her.
In an instant, she became the focal point of the live broadcast. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Tiana’s lips curled slightly in a smile, her voice gentle, yet laced with sarcasm, "Miss Ivy, if it weren’t for the news making such a fuss, I’d have thought you were just interviewing because you’re about to debut."
Just one sentence, and instantly hatred erupted online.
The comments viciously attacked her.
"Tiana Thorne is spewing nonsense. I thought she’d really come to apologize, but she’s jeering instead."
"She’s implying Ivy’s not really that sick, since she’s here taking interviews."
"What a heartless bitch. Ivy is enduring so much to get Tiana forgiven, yet Tiana mocks her instead."
"It’s too much. I hope after this interview, Tiana gets hit by a car."
"Better if a man violates her—let’s see how she stays haughty!"
Tiana lazily played with her phone, watching the comments, then looked at the camera, lips curling lazily, "I’m chauffeured everywhere. Getting hit by a car is impossible, such a shame, disappointing you all."
Heavens...
The entire internet was shocked.
Tiana Thorne was definitely the first star to fight back against netizens.
What a fool.
Indeed, after she spoke, everyone who cursed Tiana came out with fervent wishes for her family’s demise—spectacular stuff.
But Tiana didn’t care. If these people’s curses were that effective, almost everyone in this world would be long dead.
The reporter asked, "Miss Thorne, are you here to apologize?"
"Apologize? Who said I came to apologize?"
This remark almost caused those following the incident to explode in anger.
Everyone unanimously believed Tiana Thorne was doomed, using this chance to disgust everyone and soil everyone’s face was truly sickening.
"Miss Thorne, don’t you think your actions violate the principles of being human?" the reporter questioned again.
Tiana didn’t reply, instead looking at Ivy on the bed, eyes unwavering.
Seeing this, Ivy instantly shed tears of regret, sobbing, "Tiana, I said I’m sorry. I didn’t remain loyal to you... I know, you may be upset by my betrayal, but what we did was really wrong."
Tiana gently smiled, not a trace of panic, as composed as a proud swan, her dimples deep and enchanting, softly saying, "Miss Ivy, you’re right, it was indeed wrong, but... it’s you—not us."
Ivy looked at her, extremely aggrieved, tears welling up, disbelief written all over her face, "Tiana..."
Tiana gently interrupted her, "Don’t look at me like that. You’re not worthy."
The reporters froze, none expecting the situation to become so volatile, Tiana cared nothing for what anyone thought of her.
"I know I’m not worthy, didn’t handle it right, and messed up, making you mad. But Tiana, Lily Caldwell got disfigured, we should all have shared the burden. I used to be naive, a fan of yours, but no more..."
Saying this, Ivy cried even harder, like she had lost a loved one. After a while, she stammered on, "So this has nothing to do with you, let me bear it alone, just hope, Tiana, you won’t be so rash and extreme in future, okay?"
How noble, sacrificing oneself for others.
Gwen surely picked a good actress.
The statement resonated with everyone, the live comments exploded, everyone wished they could climb through the internet and kill her.
"Ivy, after all this crying, aren’t your eyes sore? No wonder, you mistook who your real idol is."
This sentence left everyone dumbfounded.
Mistook your real idol?
What does this mean?
Could there be more to the story?
