Love in the Limelight

Chapter 439

Despite multiple reassurances, Astrid still seemed a bit worried, so she offered, “Gracie, how about | go with you? I’ve had some training, | can protect you.”

Upon hearing this, Gracie shook her head vehemently, “No way, you’re so gorgeous, standing next to me, I'll look plain. Please don’t steal my thunder. Don’t worry, it’s no biggie.”

Gracie was adamant about going alone, so Astrid had to comply. After dropping Gracie off at the restaurant, Astrid went back home. The party was just starting to be broadcasted at 8 o'clock.

Astrid was playing mobile games while watching TV. While gaming, her phone received several messages that covered her game screen.

She was busy playing the game and didn’t really look at the messages.

After the game was over, she lazily opened the messages.

As she had expected, it was a message from Fannie.

In the message, Fannie said, “Astrid, | think there are many misunderstandings between us, we need to talk.” Astrid said, “I don’t think there’s anything to talk about between us.”

Seconds later, another message appeared on the screen.

“Indeed, there's nothing to chat about between us. But have you forgotten that you once had a child? This could become a major scandal in your star career. If | expose this to the public, do you think you can still stay in the entertainment industry smoothly?”

You indeed have some dirt on me, but I’m not afraid to get my reputation even dirtier at this point. If you don’t agree to my terms, I'll drag you down with me, even if I die, I'll take you down with me.”

Looking at Fannie’s threatening message, a sneer appeared at the corner of Astrid’s mouth.

She lazily leaned back on the sofa and replied, “Fannie, you said | had a child, what evidence do you have? Just your word? Would anyone believe the words of a notorious liar like you?”

Fannie was eating when the message arrived. Looking at Astrid’s message, she was so angry that she threw her phone to the ground.

Paula looked at her and quickly said, “Don’t panic, Fannie.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...

“How can | not be anxious? Paula, everything was ruined by Astrid!” Fannie was almost hoarse, “If it weren’t for Astrid, | would still be a beloved top actress!”

“You're so incompetent. If you were a top manager like Dale, would | be in this situation?”

These words hit Paula like a dagger.

Paula looked at Fannie with a pale face. She had never imagined that Fannie would say such hurtful words.

He was a well-known overachiever in school, recommended to Riverbank College without even taking the college entrance exam. He could have had a brighter future, but for Fannie, he went against his family’s wishes and chose to be a manager.

He gave up everything for her, only to be called ‘incompetent’?

The silence in the room was chilling, and Fannie realized she might have said something wrong. She turned to look at Paula, bit her lip lightly, and said, “Paula, | was just too angry, | didn’t mean that.”

She reached out to touch Paula, but he stepped back. His eyes were filled with loneliness and pain, something Fannie had never seen before.

“Paula...”
