Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!

Chapter 835: Chapter 829: Karma (Part 1)

This question, to Whitney Lynch, sounded like fear, apprehension, helplessness, and evasion.

However, to Tiana Thorne, it sounded like a stab to the heart.

She had known it would be like this, but she still felt deeply uncomfortable.

Yet, when she thought of the girl who had been killed by her biological mother at birth and then abandoned, she felt that her father’s biological daughter, if still alive, would feel a hundred times worse than she did.

Over the years, her father had loved her, but that girl had not received even a trace of parental love.

She breathed heavily, trying to suppress such pain deep within her heart.

At this moment, the pain involved more than just Tiana Thorne.

Sean Thorne felt as if his heart had been ruthlessly torn apart.

The daughter whom he had cherished for so many years had just told him that she was not his biological daughter.

The woman who had shared his bed for decades knew the truth but hid it from him for twenty-one years.

He struggled to control his emotions, but even so, he could not help but tremble all over, his hands clenched into fists, seemingly ready to strike Whitney Lynch at any moment.

Shortly after, he heard his own hoarse voice: "I ask you again, where did you discard my daughter?"

Whitney Lynch panicked.

For so many years, Sean Thorne had always been a gentle person, only losing his temper when it came to Tiana Thorne; even then, he had never been this stern.

Her lips trembled: "You... let me explain..."

Suddenly, Sean Thorne could not contain the murderous intent in his heart; his eyes were filled with blood-red rage, and he leaped up, seizing Whitney Lynch, who screamed at his actions.

With one hand, he overturned a table full of delicious food.

Tiana Thorne, Aiden Shaw, and May Sloane almost reflexively stood up.

Despite this, oil splattered onto their bodies.

They heard the sound of shattering glass, and soup splashed onto the ground. Immediately after, Whitney Lynch was pressed against the dining table by him.

Sean Thorne could not control the malice in his heart; his hands gripped her throat with a fierce strength, wishing he could choke her to death, right there in his hands.

Georgia Thorne rushed to pull him: "Dad, daddy, let go. Mom will die, she will die."

Tiana Thorne also had never seen her father so furious; she was stunned for a few seconds, awakened by Georgia Thorne’s voice.

Looking up, she saw Whitney Lynch’s hands and feet struggling wildly, her face already turning purple.

She quickly walked up to Sean Thorne; Whitney Lynch could not die.

If she died, her father would go to prison.

This was not the outcome she wanted.

She fiercely pulled his hand, calling him repeatedly: "Dad, I’m Tiana, I’m your daughter Tiana, let go, listen to me, listen to me."

At this moment, Sean Thorne’s mind was filled with betrayal; the noise in his ears was overwhelming, yet he could not make out a single word.

Not until Tiana Thorne crouched down, like when he traveled for work, and she ran out from her room, hugging his leg to stop him from leaving.

He paused for a moment, his unfocused eyes gradually coming into focus, and then he heard her voice, slightly tinged with tears: "Dad, don’t do something foolish, I need you."

Countless images from the past flooded in.

They were all of her holding onto his leg, stopping him from leaving, saying to him,

Dad, I miss you.

Dad, can you not leave today? Tiana’s been very good, stay with me, dad.

Dad, I need you, can you leave a little later?

Dad, when I grow up, I’ll earn more money to support the family so you won’t have to travel anymore.

Her soft voice touched the depths of his soul, and gradually, he let go of his grip.
