Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 395 - 394: So You’re a Hater

Tiana Thorne’s face remained calm, as if listening to someone else’s business.

She smiled casually, her voice lazy: "Didn’t expect, huh? You’re my fan."

Joyce Hughes intended to provoke her, but instead, one sentence from Tiana left her speechless.

Joyce frowned: "Miss Thorne, you’re joking. I don’t idolize celebrities."

Tiana flashed a regretful smile: "So you’re saying...you’re my anti-fan?"

Seeing Joyce silent, Tiana helped her to admit it directly, her eyes sparkling as she smirked: "Turns out you’re an anti-fan. If the news about me is bad, could it be your doing?"

Joyce: "..."

To her surprise, a single sentence had pinned this wrongdoing on her.

"Miss Thorne, don’t accuse me falsely."

Tiana’s smile grew even more playful: "If you’re not an anti-fan, why so concerned about me? Seems like you are my fan, just a bit shy to admit it."

Joyce’s face went from pale to flushed, unable to deny or admit, looking quite unsettled.

Tiana chuckled: "If you’re here to care, then leave for now. I’m a bit tired and want to rest."

Joyce maneuvered her wheelchair, realizing at the door what "leave" meant.

Her face turned red, but unable to turn back, she left in a huff.

Tiana watched her back, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

Pathetic, daring to challenge her, really think you’re someone?

Just then, footsteps could be heard again.

Raising her eyes, she saw May Sloane rushing over, looking not quite well: "Tiana, there’s a traitor in the hospital."

Tiana looked at her, this must be the news Joyce mentioned.

"Don’t rush, speak slowly."

May shook her head: "It’s too complicated for me to explain, just look at Weibo and you’ll understand."

"Alright."

Tiana opened her phone, sure enough, the scandalous news about her was everywhere.

Not a single one was true.

#Tiana Thorne kept by a tycoon#

#Tiana Thorne abandoned and aborts after pregnancy#

#Suspected tycoon keeping Tiana Thorne#

#To rise, she’s willing to kill her child, split with mysterious boyfriend#

"Lately, Tiana’s gossip’s too much. After Gwen Boyce’s precedent, I decided to wait and see if there’s any twist."

"To be kept, heartbroken, how can I support you, green tea Tiana."

"So cruel, even a tiger doesn’t eat its cub; Tiana Thorne is worse than a beast."

"That tycoon looks so tall. Shame there’s only a rear view, who is it?"

"Too much gossip around Tiana Thorne, it’s exhausting to fan her, I’m quitting."

Some people publicly unfollowed her; most male fans couldn’t handle this news, their idol seeming impure, turning love to hate, full of revilement.

Tiana had long stopped caring about these rumors, raised her brow: "What does President Pace say?"

"He hasn’t said anything," May responded.

"Good, there’s that saying, ’the more famous, the more disputes,’ he doesn’t want to shoot himself in the foot, doesn’t believe these nonsensical rumors."

May couldn’t help but sigh: "Your scandals are so many that even President Pace is convinced of your good."

"I guess so."

Tiana said, clicking on the image alleged to show the tycoon keeping her.

One shot from behind, one side view, all equally unclear, yet clearly showing her lower half covered in blood.

This tycoon looked left and right like Old Four Aiden Shaw.

No one recognized him, is the internet blind?

Tiana handed May the phone, then enlarged Aiden Shaw’s photo, raised a brow: "Beauty, look, who’s this?"

"Old Four Shaw," May replied.

Tiana then browsed the comments.

"This guy looks like a playboy, sleazy, keeps so many girls."

"Luckily the photos are blurry, otherwise I’d vomit."

"A flower stuck in cow dung."

May: "Uh..."

Tiana lazily joked: "Turns out Old Four Shaw has this image in the netizens’ hearts."

"This...this..."

Despite facing a serious issue, May still wanted to laugh.

This group of netizens was too ignorant!

If they knew the man in the photo was Old Four Shaw, they’d probably want to munch their phones.

May analyzed: "Tiana, honestly, people didn’t link him to Shaw. Though your scandals are endless, and you’re trending constantly, you haven’t regained your old status entirely. Just a somewhat popular little actress, people wouldn’t connect you with the famous Old Four Shaw, right?"

"Makes sense."

Tiana smirked, toyed with her phone, pensively gazed out the window, lost in thought.

May thought of the filming for "Solitary," asked: "Should you clarify?"

Tiana smiled deliberately, lazily replied: "In this dog-eat-dog entertainment world, explanations don’t exist; the more you explain, the more you conceal. Better to let the gossip simmer, hotter the better."

"Will it affect ’Solitary’s’ filming?"

"I haven’t said anything officially anyway, even if rumors fly, they’re just hearsay. A chance to attract more fans."

May scrolled her Weibo, saw the total number of fans: "Lost several tens of thousands already..."

"Don’t worry, they’ll all come back, and gain some converts. Let them stir things up."

"Alright." May nodded, from a manager’s perspective, Tiana indeed needed the spotlight now, even if it’s negative hype.

This way, when "Fox Fairy" and "Solitary" premiere, they’ll be pleasantly surprised, turning haters and bystanders into fans.

Tiana stared at the photos intently, after a while, she asked, "How’s ’Fox Fairy’s’ press conference arranged?"

"All set. You’ll need to interact with Wind more; honey-couple CP fans are waiting for sweet moments," May reminded.

"Sure, I know, interaction isn’t a problem." Tiana winked, looking enchanting.

Watching her charming demeanor, May suddenly recalled her physical condition, feeling uneasy: "Tiana, truly, if you can’t go to the press conference, then don’t."

Saw the blurred outline of Old Four Shaw on her phone, her eyes flashed with mischief, disinterestedly said: "No way, without appearing with a worn-out look, how could the rumor of being dumped by a tycoon stand firm?"

Cough, cough...

May simply couldn’t understand Tiana’s train of thought, always saying unexpected things.

"Alright, whatever you say."

Tiana suddenly looked up at her, her voice carrying a teasing edge: "The person behind the scenes gave me this gift; should I return a big present, hmm?"
