Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)

Chapter 438

But because of this, her fear became even more intense.

If the show aired as scheduled, the impact would be much bigger.

She'd rather have problems crop up and get the show cut before airing, that's way better than being

mocked by everyone after it's aired.

"Ding dong, ding dong," the doorbell rang, startling Fannie.

She got up to open the door, and saw Paula and Lucinda Irvine standing there.

"Paula, why'd you bring her?" Fannie had hated Lucinda since school and still did.

Seeing Fannie's expression, Lucinda got irritated. "Fannie, I'm here to help you. Do you still think you're

still some big shot celebrity? Giving people attitude left and right!" ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"Help me? What can you help me with?" Fannie looked at Lucinda with disdain, not hiding her disgust.

"You're just a news anchor who'd sleep with anyone for money. What can you do for me?"

"Fannie!!!" Lucinda was furious and slapped Fannie!

Fannie was stunned by the slap. Paula didn't expect Lucinda to actually hit someone and quickly

intervened. "Ladies, stop fighting! The enemy of my enemy is my friend. You both want to take down

Astrid, so you should be joining forces, not fighting each other!"

The two women, who were about to have a catfight, finally calmed down after hearing this.

They both despised each other, but they had a common enemy.

After Paula played peacemaker, they finally entered the house.

At night, Astrid and Gracie just finished their work. Once they got in the car, Gracie started to complain,

"Astrid, why didn't you make it public? You're just gonna let that woman off the hook?"

Astrid raised an eyebrow. "Do I look like I'm that nice?"

Gracie shook her head, "Nope."

"These past few days Fannie must have been eating and sleeping terribly. If I had made it public then, I

wouldn't get the best result." Astrid said while munching on a chicken wing, enjoying herself.

After hearing this, Gracie excitedly slapped her thigh, "I get it!"

"Fannie was doing really well that day. You're waiting for the show to air to give her a fatal blow and

completely take her down!"

"Yup, Fannie would do anything to achieve her goals. If she's not completely taken down, she'll bounce

back like grass in spring after a cold winter. So this time, I have to completely defeat her." Astrid

finished and turned to see Gracie touching up her makeup.

She asked curiously, "Gracie, where are you off to? Got a date?"

Gracie said, "Not a date. I'm meeting a friend! You know my gaming buddy, right? He's in Sunhaven,

I'm going to see him!"

"Meeting an online friend? That sounds exciting," Astrid asked nosily, "Gracie, don't get fooled."

Gracie waved her off, "I'm always the one fooling others, how could I get fooled?"

"Hold on, I'm still a bit worried." Astrid put down what she was holding and busied herself in the back of

the car.

Gracie looked confused, asking, "What are you doing, Astrid?"

"Look, this is for you!" Astrid handed over a bunch of self-defense tools, "My brothers gave me these,

I've never used them. Here, take these, put them in your bag. If he tries anything funny, fight back!"

Gracie laughed out loud, "Your wish is my command, I'll take them all!"
