Chapter 69
Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)
Chapter 69 But Sandra had barely taken a few steps when her clothes were firmly grabbed by Astrid. âYouâre lying! If you guys had snapped photos of me and my child, doesnât that mean you can squeeze more money out of me? I donât believe that you would only take a few maternity shots and leave!
Sandra, where is my child? If you donât tell me the truth, Iâll kill you.â As she said this, Astridâs hand tightened around Sandraâs neck. Terrified, Sandra turned pale âAstrid, if you kill me, youâll end up in jail!â
âJail? Out here in the middle of nowhere, no cameras, no witnesses, if I kill you and dump you in the nearby river the police wonât find any clues.
Theyâll assume youâve met with an accident. Whatâs that got to do with me? Astrid hissed into Sandraâs ear, her voice as chilling as a whisper from hell, causing Sandra to go pale with fear.
âYour babyâs deadâ Your babyâs dead! Sandra subdenly screamed.
Astrid s grip faltered, and Sandra seized the opportunity to break free and run. She glanced back at the ashenâfaced Astrid, feeling a surge of triumph, Astrid felt a chill run through her, her lips quivering âYouâre lying to me.â
âWhy would he to you? On that night three and a half years ago, around eleven or so in the evening. I saw a man dressed in black with a hood and mask carrying a baby running out. Then you chased after him, yelling that your baby had been stolen! Think about it, if the baby was okay, why didnât he cry in such heavy rain? As Sandra said this, Astridâs heart clenched.
She had never told anyone that her baby had been stolen. Sandra was able to describe the time and place so clearly, so Sandra must have witnessed everything...
Astrid looked at Sandra, her eyes reddening. âYou didnât see his...body. Just because he didnât cry, doesnât mean..doesnât mean heâs dead.â
Actually Sandra knew the baby wasnât dead. The baby had indeed been quiet at first, but had started to whimper when being put into the car.
She had seen the man in black put the baby into a luxury car.
She didnât know much about cars, but Vernon, being a car enthusiast who often read various car magazines at home, had told her that the limited edition RollsâRoyce the baby was put into was worth at least a billion.
She didnât know what the people in the car had to do with the baby, but she couldnât let Astrid find the baby. Because...she couldnât give Astrid any leverage over her.
After some thought, Sandra put on a serious face and lied, âThe baby is dead, Iâm sure of it! I saw the man throw the baby harshly on the ground, but the baby didnât make any sound!â
On hearing this, Astrid almost fainted.
Her baby had a loud cry when He was born, and was a crybaby. Gracle had once joked that he would definitely grow up to be a tenor. How could he possibly not make a sound when he was thrown? Looking at the distraught Astrid, Sandra scoffed, reached out to take her phone.
âTrying to use the photos to threaten me? You donât stand a chance!â Astrid sneered, bent down to pick up a stone from a nearby flower bed, and smashed Sandraâs phone to pieces in a few strikes. Sandra stared in disbelief at her shattered phone, babbling, âAstrid...you, you, you...
âYou what? Get out of here!â Astrid shouted, and Sandra, frightened, scurried off.
Astrid had been prepared for the worst over the years of not finding her child.
She had considered that her child might already be dead.
After all, the Brooke family was powerful, how could they have falled to find any information after all these years..
The thought of her child possibly being dead was too painful for Astrid to bear.
No matter how strong she seemed on the outside, she was vulnerable when it came to her child.
Despite the scorching sun, Astrid felt cold, her steps heavy, and walking was difficult.
She walked like a zombie to the supermarket, bought a ton of alcohol, and then went back to her hotel room, all she wanted to do now was drink.
Elio had waited in the hotel for a while, but couldnât help but worry, so he drove to the set to look for her.
Before he could reach the hotel near the set, he received a message that Astrid had returned to her room and was not in a good state.
He was very anxious, stepped on the accelerator and sped towards the set.
After getting out of the car, he called Astrid, but she didnât answer, so he got the room key from the front desk and went straight to her room.
As soon as he opened the door, a strong smell of alcohol hit him.

ï¤Chapter 4596 There were bottles of alcohol all over the floor around her, and she was still chugging a bottle of vodka.
His heart clenched and he rushed over, snatching the bottle of alcohol from her and pulling her into his arms. He looked down at the tearyâeyed woman in his arms, and his heart ached. âAstrid, what happened?
Astrid just sobbed silently, reaching up to grab Elioâs suit, leaning weakly against him, and whispered, âEllo, I feel awful.â
Astridâs choking sobs made Elioâs heart ache even more. He held her tighter, gently kissed her forehead, and whispered, âItâs okay, Iâm here.â
