Chapter 355
Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)
Chapter 355 âWould you stop being so grumpy?â Nathan eyed the stuff in Nashâs hands nervously, silently backing off to the staircase. âDonât forget to lock your lab when you leave, just in case any of your chemicals leaks knocks Mom and Dad out cold!â
Nash shot Nathan a glare. âWhat do you mean âchemicals leaksâ? These are my precious experimental materials. And by the way, did you get your plane ticket yet?â Nathan said, âNo. Edgar said theyâre taking a cruise.â
âSo, theyâre slow and you decided to be slow too? How long will it take for the cruise to get to the destination? By the time you get there, Robb wouldâve sorted everything out. Would there be anything left for us?â Nash grumbled, grabbing his phone to book a flight.
Watching Nash retreat to his room for a shower, Nathan shook his head. Only Star could make him put down his experiments.
One by one, several brothers rushed to J City.
Meanwhile, the award ceremony was still going on.
The event was progressing smoothly, but there were whispers and pointing fingers in Astridâs direction.
Seeing this, Clyde quietly suggested, âYou can get your agent to confirm if youâve won anything. If not, youâd better duck out early, or you wonât be able to escape once the reporters swarm in.â
Astrid was well aware sheâd be cornered by the press soon, but she had no intention of letting those behind her scandal off the hook.
Her phone buzzed with a message. She glanced at it and turned to Clyde. âThanks for the tip. I need to step out.â
Watching Astrid leave, Clyde let out a sigh of relief.
Secret relationships were common in showbiz, so Astrid having a boyfriend wasnât an issue. But the public exposure of this photo means she must have been deliberately targeted.
Her name was everywhere on social media, which is bound to stir up jealousy.
He could only hope Elio could help Astrid ride out this storm. After filming a variety show together, his impression of Astrid greatly improved.
She was like a walking encyclopedia, seemingly knowing everything, which was astonishing.
As Astrid exited the event, a man in black wearing a mask approached. âAstar, Chad sent me.â

ï¤Chapter 4596 âOkay.â Astrid nodded. âYou brought the stuff I asked for?â
âYes.â The man handed a chic Chanel handbag to Astrid. She opened it, checked the contents, and gave a satisfied nod. âTell Chad to keep a close eye on the Lampard family. And send more people to protect Roman.â
The man nodded. âYes, Astar.â
Watching him go, Astrid picked up her phone and texted Chad: âLetâs go.â
Three seconds later, she stepped out of the blind spot of the surveillance camera. This corridor was now covered by the second floorâs surveillance footage.
She approached the control room, hearing faint voices inside.
Pressing her ear to the door, she heard someone say, âGood job. The money will be in your account shortly.â
Laughter echoed from within. Astridâs eyes narrowed slightly as she texted Chad: âPlease hack into the control roomâs surveillance. I want to see whoâs inside.â Chad replied: âAlready on it. Iâve also captured the part where the person told others to expose your photo. Iâll upload it online later to clear your name.â
A second later, Chad sent over several photos and a screenshot.
