Chapter 407
Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)
Chapter 407 Mainly, she didnât expect it to go this far, nor did she expect Astrid demand to check her phone!
âAstrid, what are you talking about? How could I possibly spread rumors about you? Iâve always wanted you to shine.â Bernice walked over with a smile, her face flawless. âMr. Maddox, you know how it is. There are always those who like to spread rumors and always want to stir up public sentiment onlineâ
Bernice was very experienced, and of course she couldnât get Astrid to actually look at her phone. She continued, âLetâs just drop it. Weâve both cleared things up here, those rumor mongers should back off nowâ
Astridâs psychoanalytic skills were strong, and she could tell that Bernice was upset.
Instead of pulling away this time, Astrid leaned into Bernice, âAuntie Bernice, theyâre saying youâre spreading rumors about me online. I just want to check your phone to prove your innocence, so theyâll stop their attacks.â
Hearing this, Bernice seemed somewhat flustered, âThatâs not necessary, Astrid I really donât mind...â
Astrid was suddenly so chummy, calling her Auntie Bernice. Something was definitely gone wrong.
âNo way, weâre so close. I canât let people accuse you like this!â Astrid furrowed her brows, urgency in her voice. âYouâre a role model to so many. We canât let those nasty comments online tarnish your image!
Bernice was momentarily lost for words at Astridâs statement. She was making perfect sense and Bernice couldnât refute it!
The netizens were just as confused.
Ever since Bernice joined the show, Astrid had been pretty cold to her. This sudden shift in attitude had everyone scratching their heads.
Comments: [If Bernice has nothing to hide why wonât she let us see her phone?] [Exactly, checking her phone would clear everything up. Why all this drama?] [Did we misunderstand Astrid? Maybe sheâs actually looking out for Bernice.] [Astrid is fair, sheâs not afraid of confrontation, but some people might not be.] [What is Bernice hesitating for? It couldnât really be her, could it?]
[Thereâs no way itâs Bernice, someone with her class wouldnât stoop so low!]
Even though it was late at night, many people were still up.
The comment section was buzzing.

ï¤Chapter 4596 Bernice had never taken the crew seriously, so she had no idea who took her phone. She didnât even have a target to signal to now.
âSir, do you have the phone? Hand it over.â Astrid reached out to Maddox.
Bernice felt her heart leap into her throat. Why did she personally post those comments?
Because she thought no one would believe she would do it!
Given her social standing, no one would believe she was capable of such actions. Doing it herself was the safest bet.
But who knew, Astrid had to be different! The first thing she wanted to do was check the phone!
âMr. Maddox, I donât need to prove my innocence. I donât need to resort to this.â Bernice kept her cool, but she was so nervous that her nails were practically digging into the phone. âMr. Maddox, I joined this show to experience life. I donât want to get involved in anything else.â
âPut simply, the content on my phone is my personal business. I have the right to keep it private.â
This put Maddox in a tough spot. After all, Dale made it clear that if he didnât cooperate with Astrid, the investors might pull out, which would affect the entire crew.
