Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)

Chapter 354

Although Damian couldn’t stand Adrienne, he adored his son. When he heard his kiddo got hit, he was

fuming.

Lately, he’s been binge–watching a reality show called Adventures in the Abyss, and he’s got a soft

spot for Astrid on the show. He never saw it coming that she’d be the type to hit kids behind closed

doors!

“Kid, don’t cry. Dad’s gonna get your justice.” Damian gently touched his son Larkin’s head, then pulled

out his phone and left.

Adrienne couldn’t help but smirk watching Damian’s retreating figure.

Astrid, are you expecting an award?

What a joke.

An hour later, the stars were mostly seated.

Joana was obsessively eyeing Astrid’s direction, clutching her bag tightly.

Clyde’s relationship with Astrid had smoothed somewhat since the recording of Adventures in the

Abyss.

Although they were not very good friends, they were still ordinary friends now.

Noticing Joana and Adrienne’s constant stares, Clyde leaned over to whisper to Astrid, “Why do Joana

and Adrienne keep looking at you?”

I

“Looking at me?” Astrid arched an eyebrow, “Maybe they’re looking at you.”

Clyde was speechless.

Despite what Astrid said, she was still wary of Joana and Adrienne.

Joana had been getting a lot of criticism since the show aired recently, so she might be uncomfortable

and maybe she would do something about it.

As for Adrienne she couldn’t stand Astrid.

The host of the award ceremony, Janice, was famous in the entertainment circle, and she controlled

the pace of the ceremony very well. Although she was the only host, she was very calm.

She announced, “Before we start the awards, we have another performance.”

“Today, we have invited internationally renowned psychologist Jim. Let’s give a round of applause to

welcome Jim.”

“Whoa! This…” Before Janice could finish, the stars and audience gasped at the big screen behind her.

She turned around and saw an image on the electronic billboard.

In the photo, Astrid and a tall man were arm in arm, entering a house.

The man’s face was in profile, not fully captured, but Astrid’s face was visible.

They were very affectionate and seemed to have a close relationship,

Other people might not know the man, but Elio and Gracie immediately recognized the man as Robb.

Janice, the experienced host, immediately smiled and said: When our staff heard Jim’s name, they

were so excited that they accidentally replaced Jim’s picture with someone else’s drama still. It looked

like a lot of people liked Jim.”

The image was quickly replaced by Jim’s photo as she finished her sentence.

Janice breathed a sigh of relief, but her palms were sweaty.

The photo only flashed for a second, but the live comments were blowing up.

“Who’s gonna believe that’s a drama still?”

“Didn’t Astrid just say she was single at the press conference for the show the other day? Things sure

escalated quickly!”

“She’s flirting with Mr. Lampard on the show while dating someone else in secret!”

“Mr. Lampard, you’d better watch out! How’d you end up with such a false woman!”

“Mr. Maddox, replace this woman ASAP!!!”

In no time, Astrid became a hot topic.

Things escalated quickly. Astrid’s agent wanted to do some damage control, but Astrid told him not to

interfere. She had her plans.

Her brothers all over the world watching the live stream were pissed seeing the hate comments about

Astrid and they just left.

Brandon was piloting a plane on a mission, but he immediately made a U–turn.

Jon, who was in the middle of training, dropped his phone and ran, and his coach followed him outside.

Rickon was supposed to compete in a car racing, but seeing his sister getting abused, he decided to

ditch the race and leave.

Brothers Edgar Brooke and Edwin Brooke overseas called in their yacht and dialed up Nathan Brooke.

Nathan, who was chilling at home, rushed to find Nash Brooke, who was conducting chemistry

research, “Come out, it’s urgent!”

Nash said, “Didn’t I tell you not to bother me unless the sky was falling?”

Nathan replied, “Star got framed at the awards ceremony and now she’s the talk of the town…”

Before he could finish, Nash was already at the door, holding a test tube filled with an unknown

substance.

Nathan gulped, “What’s that?” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Nash said, “Whoever dares to mess with my Star is gonna get blown up.”

Nathan was speechless.
