Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity! Chapter 61: That’s Right, I Did It

Moreover, she secured the most sought-after and hottest drama of the year through her own efforts.

Cody Pace’s eyes were full of scrutiny, his voice very serious: "I have a question."

Tiana Thorne nodded, her voice polite and gentle: "Go ahead, Cody."

Cody Pace’s gaze beca sharp, enunciating each word: "Was it you who made Jodie Tanner hit the headlines this ti?"

Looks like he’s here to hold her accountable.

Tiana Thorne t his gaze fearlessly, the light in her eyes not wavering in the slightest.

Her voice was soft, yet carried significant weight: "Yes, I did it."

Bang—!

Cody Pace was so furious that he slapped his palm hard on the desk: "Nonsense."

Tiana stood there, not even flinching, lips pressed together, speaking very rationally: "I wasn’t being reckless. I considered everything before doing it."

"Your consideration is to replace her?" Cody Pace’s voice carried sarcasm.

Tiana raised an indifferent brow: "You could say that."

"You..."

"Please, let finish."

Cody Pace sat down, leaning back in his leather chair, his anger not dissipated in the least.

Tiana Thorne could still stand here because she was now the lead actress in "The Fox Fairy."

Until this show aired, he had to give her the necessary respect as her boss.

Tiana spoke leisurely: "As a candidate, in the interest of fairness, I naturally have to protect my rights. As for the rest, I didn’t do it."

With that, Tiana leaned closer to his desk, the usually obedient deanor carrying a hint of mischief: "Of course, I knew about it, but didn’t stop it."

Cody Pace remained silent, waiting for her to continue.

Rather than explaining herself, it was more like she was recounting her victorious achievents, enjoying it herself.

"Jodie Tanner has never been a compliant artist. If she continues this way, she will surely cause trouble for Zenith. If so, why shouldn’t I take her place?"

Every sentence she spoke was clear and logical, making it hard for anyone to find fault.

Tiana narrowed her eyes and continued: "I didn’t steal or rob. With a bit of luck, it wasn’t my fault that Jodie couldn’t compete with . Isn’t it always ’survival of the fittest’ in showbiz?"

Cody Pace was sowhat moved, his right eyebrow slightly raised.

Tiana had ambition and intelligence.

She claid it was luck, but he had seen everything unfold with his own eyes over this period.

Clearly, she was strategizing every step of the way.

Perhaps, as she said, she was the most worthy person for Zenith to back.

"President Pace."

Suddenly, Tiana called out to him, with a bit more seriousness, yet the charm in her brow was ingrained deep within.

"What is it."

Tiana curved her lips, stars sparkling in her eyes: "How about we make a bet?"

"Bet on what?"

Tiana’s beautiful eyes shifted, her smile radiant: "The ratings. I will definitely make ’The Fox Fairy’ rank first in ratings."

Cody Pace’s heart moved vehently.

Ratings are the toughest feat to achieve, let alone coming in first, which is even harder.

After all, the criticism against Tiana Thorne now far exceeded admiration.

Even many top-tier stars dare not guarantee first place, where does she get such confidence?

He looked up, originally intending to dismiss her, but the light in her eyes was a kind of ambition that couldn’t be ignored.

He was actually intrigued.

After a pause, he asked in a low voice: "What’s the stake?"
