Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 411 - 410: He’s a Good Man

Tiana Thorne looked into her sister’s eyes, unblinking, and after a while, she repeated, "Yes, one must always be on guard against others."

The meaning of these words was very clear.

She would be on guard, but who she was guarding against was unknown.

Georgia Thorne’s eyes flickered slightly; she could hear that it was meant as a warning against her.

She responded with a gentle smile, full of warmth and tolerance.

May Sloane pursed her lips, sensing an invisible aura about her sister that made her gentleness seem quite formidable.

Tiana’s big sister was truly something else.

Sean Thorne leaned back, his eyes slightly dim, and after a while, he returned to normal, though his voice carried a hint of weariness: "I don’t understand the entertainment industry; let’s talk about something else."

Tiana squinted, knowing that what had just transpired must have upset her father.

She and Georgia weren’t openly bickering, but their words were full of hidden meanings.

Her father, who had battled in the business world for many years and heard countless veiled disputes, surely understood?

"Dad, whatever you want to hear about, I’ll tell you," Tiana’s tone softened, and this time, her smile was sincere.

"Tell me, have you started dating anyone?"

Tiana: "..."

She couldn’t help but think of a recent trending topic titled: Parental Pressure to Get Married.

Could it be...

"Dad, I haven’t planned to start dating yet."

Sean Thorne chuckled softly, his voice gentle, "That Aiden Shaw, if you don’t like him, why do the rumors keep spreading about you two?"

Tiana: "..."

Do men gossip too?

She had intended to outright deny it, but when she caught a glimpse of Georgia sipping her tea, lost in her thoughts, she hesitated.

Was it because her father mentioned Aiden Shaw?

Instead, she changed her tact, her smile becoming that of a bashful young girl, "He’s a decent person."

Seeing this, Sean Thorne’s heart surged with emotion.

Originally, he had been probing to ease the tense atmosphere and casually mentioned Aiden Shaw.

Who would have thought she’d respond like this?

Seeing his youngest daughter’s expression, could it be she’s taken a liking to him?

Taken a liking to him...

At this thought, Sean Thorne frowned slightly. Aiden Shaw’s impotence was one thing, but the Shaw family’s internal strife was too much. He was only recently acknowledged by the Shaw family, and his position there was unstable. Besides the more secretly vicious Third Master Shaw, there was also the smiling tiger, Second Master Shaw, and many hiding in the shadows of the Shaw family, eager to see him fall.

Aiden Shaw’s situation was perilous. Even though he himself was powerful and influential, those people would not necessarily let him go.

"Tiana, how far have you gone with him?"

With this question, Isaac looked over, his gaze deepening.

Tiana remained calm internally.

Between her and Aiden Shaw, it was as pure as can be. She had exerted all her charm, but Aiden Shaw refused to take the bait. How could there be any hint of romance between them?

He was a very challenging man.

Tiana knew her father was anxious, so she reassured him, "For now, we’re just friends. Don’t worry, Dad, I’ll take care of myself. If I genuinely like someone, I’ll definitely introduce him to you."

Sean Thorne had always trusted her, so he finally felt relieved.

"What about Gigi?"

Georgia Thorne nodded with a smile, "Dad, I’m not interested in dating right now. I’m focused on my acting career, and my sister and I think alike, so please don’t worry."

"Alright, you’re both grown up now. I’m not an unreasonable father; I allow you both to date freely, but you must protect yourselves and not be mistreated, understand?"

Tiana’s smile was playful, "Got it, Dad, don’t worry. With Isaac by my side, no one dares to mess with me."

Georgia Thorne just nodded lightly, her demeanor exuding elegance and gentleness, surpassing even that of a true lady of the upper class.

Isaac, hearing his mention, nodded slightly.

Tiana pursed her lips into a small smile. Brother Isaac was truly always on standby.

Georgia Thorne also glanced at Isaac but said nothing more.

Just then, Whitney Lynch emerged from the kitchen, smiling, "Kids, time to eat."

Tiana’s eyes flickered with interest, and a slight smile played on her lips, "Oh wow, we get to eat braised pig’s trotters~"

Whitney Lynch: "..."

This cunning little rascal!

She’s infuriating.

After the meal, I’ll make sure to teach her a lesson!

With that thought, she temporarily suppressed her anger, "Let’s eat."

...

After the meal.

Whitney Lynch smiled, her eyes full of reluctance, "Soon, Tiana will be leaving. This past year, we’ve really spent little time together as mother and daughter."

"Yes,"

Tiana agreed with her.

"A lot has happened to you recently, and I haven’t had a chance to properly ask you about it."

Tiana maintained a smiling demeanor and said nothing.

Whitney Lynch spoke gently again, "Come to the room with me, let’s have a heartfelt mother-daughter talk. You’ve been wronged recently; you can tell your mother anything."

Tiana curved her lips slightly, her dimples seeming to hint at a bit of mischief, her eyes narrowing, "Alright."

She was wondering how to get an opportunity to be alone with this person, and the opportunity came knocking; not bad at all.

"Let’s go."

As she spoke, she affectionately took Whitney’s hand, leading her away from the sofa, and called out, "You all chat here, Gigi, take care of our guests."

"Alright." Georgia Thorne nodded, her gaze unwavering.

Isaac was about to follow them, but Whitney stiffened and politely refused, "A mother and daughter need privacy to talk, Mr. Isaac, it might not be appropriate for you to come along?"

"Mom, it doesn’t matter. I don’t see Isaac as an outsider; he can wait for me at the door."

"Okay."

She glanced at Isaac, suddenly feeling a sense of superiority, lifting her head high, and leading Tiana toward the stairs.

This man was nothing more than Tiana’s unsavory companion, trying to ingratiate himself with Whitney in hopes of marrying into the Thorne family.

Let him listen well; Tiana, this b****, wasn’t favored, and he should dismiss such ridiculous notions.

Look at his status; how dare he come to the Thorne family.

But then again, Tiana wasn’t Georgia. The man she found was naturally inferior, shamelessly inferior.

With this in mind, her demeanor became even more arrogant.

At the room’s entrance, Whitney revealed her true colors, casting a disdainful glance at Isaac and coldly saying, "You wait at the door."

Isaac ignored her and looked at Tiana.

"Wait for me outside."

"Okay."

Whitney felt disregarded, slightly annoyed inside, cursing inwardly: bootlicker!

It was a pity; he was sucking up to the wrong person.

Once inside the room, Whitney slammed the door shut to vent her dissatisfaction, then turned around, her gaze at Tiana changing instantly, coldly questioning, "Why did you bring those disreputable people into our home?"

Tiana acted as if she hadn’t heard, went over to the sofa, and took a seat, leisurely poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip, a lazy demeanor, "Good tea."
