“Aw, Emily, don’t be like that. And Astrid, don’t get mad. My assistant is just blunt and always speaks
her mind,” Joana chuckled lightly, a laugh that made one want to punch
her.
Emily: “If someone can’t even find basic information about her, and people still cheer for her, I’ll eat my
shoe.“.
“Heh,” Astrid, who was closing her eyes, suddenly let out a few cold chuckles.
Hearing Astrid’s mocking laughter, Emily became instantly infuriated, “Astrid, what’s the meaning of
that laugh?”
Astrid opened her eyes, she was laughing, “This is the first time I’ve heard of someone liking to eat
shoes. You’re certainly unique.” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
“Astrid, who are you saying likes to eat shoes?” Emily shouted back.
Astrid shrugged slightly, incredibly calm, “You. Didn’t you say you’ll eat your shoe if someone cheers for
me? I’m afraid you’ll never finish eating shoes in your lifetime.” Emily had brought up many popular
stars, her network was wide, and she held some status in the entertainment industry. She had been in
the business for so many years, and this was the first time she had encountered someone daring to
say this to her!
She pointed at Astrid angrily and scolded: “You ungrateful wretch, today I will teach you a lesson on
behalf of your parents and let you know the consequences of offending the wrong person!”
With those words, a fierce look flashed in her eyes, and she raised her hand to slap Astrid!
But before her hand could touch Astrid’s face, Astrid caught it.
There was a crisp sound, and to everyone’s surprise, Astrid had slapped Emily!
Emily was stunned by Astrid’s slap, her ears ringing.
She stared at the person in front of her in disbelief, never expecting Astrid would dare to hit her. Joana
was also shocked, “Astrid, you dared to hit Emily!?

“Haha.” Astrid sneered, squinting at Emily, looking at Emily as if she was a small bug, “I’ve already hit
you, and you’re asking if I dare? If you say anything else that pisses me off, you can say goodbye to
your hand.”
Years had passed, she was no longer the same person, and she wouldn’t let anyone bully her
anymore!.

Astrid’s was surprisingly strong, causing Emily to grimace in pain. But Emily was always proud and
wouldn’t easily admit defeat, so she said, “Astrid, if everyone finds out you hit your agent, do you think
you can still get by in the entertainment industry?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Astrid squeezed her hand, and Emily’s scream echoed through the
car, “Ah!!”
At that moment, Emily saw Astrid’s phone recording the whole scene. She felt a chill in her heart. Astrid
had recorded everything. The video would prove that they started it! She wouldn’t be able to shift the
blame onto Astrid! Emily never expected the seemingly harmless Astrid would be so cunning. Once the
video leaked, it would be the end for her.
Emily had no care for her dignity at this point and immediately began to beg for mercy: “Ms. Irvine, I
was wrong. I ask for your forgiveness. Please don’t take seriously!”

“You should better behave, or I can’t guarantee that I won’t accidentally release the video,” Astrid lazily
let go of Emily’s hand. Her cold gaze making them unconsciously calm down.

over Joana and Emil
Seeing the two of them start to behave, a cold smile appeared on Astrid’s lips, and she slowly closed
her eyes.
Emily was staring blankly at Astrid. Astrid’s face was calm, the chill from before had dissipated. At this
moment, she seemed weak and powerless. Where was the dominance from before?
It was as if everything that just happened was an illusion.

A few minutes later, Joana suddenly tugged at Emily’s sleeve, her voice full of surprise: “Emily, Emily,
look, look outside!”
Emily turned her head and was stunned.
They were in the city center, and right then, all the visible electronic screens on the street were
displaying Astrid’s photos; helicopters were circling in the sky, carrying banners cheering for Astrid…
