Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)

Chapter 460

"I heard it was a drunk driving accident, but something about it felt skeptical, you know? Just like the

accident yesterday, the car rammed into a wall and spontaneously combusted, leaving nothing but

ashes."

"I agree, something's fishy. And it's the Lampard family we're talking about here. Who knows what goes

on behind the doors of those high-profile families?"

"You guys have no idea. My friend used to be Newell's mistress, and she told me that he nearly killed

his own son."

"Are you sure about that? You've got to be careful spreading such rumors!"

"Well, these elite families are all glitter and gold on the outside. But who knows what kind of shady

business they're up to under the surface?"

"Shush, keep your voices down. Astrid's here!"

"What does she care? She's been around for four years and the Lampards still haven't allowed her into

the family. Obviously, they don't want her. You guys believe everything that Mr. Lampard says? Pfft!"

"Well, there's no rich guy who doesn't have a mistress. And Mr. Lampard is the kind who knows how to

play the game."

"Wow, you make it sound like you have some insider info!"

The group continued to chatter, but all Astrid could remember was their claim about Mr. Lampard

wanting to kill his own son.

That meant the car accident today was no coincidence. It was too similar to the one yesterday. Clearly,

it was Elio's way of sending a message to Newell.

Since Elio had made a move, she couldn't just sit back and do nothing. She decided to start with Lucas'

elder brother, Johnnie Lampard.

After today's incident, the Lampards had suddenly become quite subdued. When Astrid returned home,

it was already past midnight.

She opened her laptop and began to search for information on Johnnie. He was a well-known

songwriter in the industry, always appearing refined and courteous. He had written songs for many

popular artists, all of which had become hits.

However, Elio had mentioned that Johnnie had wanted to kill Lucas since they were children. Could

such a man really be as polite and refined as he appeared?

After some thought, Astrid pulled out her phone and sent a text to Dale - [Dale, can you get me in touch

with Johnnie? I want him to write me a new song.]

As soon as she sent the message, a new message popped up in the family group chat.

Robb asked, [Star, did something happen to you?]

Astrid replied, [Nothing, I'm fine.] This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Robb continued, [Then why on earth do you want to sing? Are you trying to torture our ears?]

Brandon said, [Holy cow, Star, if you're upset, I can beat someone up for you. Please, just don't sing.]

Jon, [I'd rather be hit by a bus than hear you sing.]

Astrid said, [Am I still your beloved little sister?]

Rickon replied, [Star, does releasing an album cost money? How much? I'll cover it.]

Astrid smiled, [Rickon is the only one who truly loves me!]

Rickon then typed, [As long as you don't sing in front of me, we're good.]

Astrid was speechless.

There was no doubt about it; Dale must have spilled the beans - her brother found out far too quickly.

Oh, that big-mouthed gossip! He's really going downhill, always tattling to her brother about the

smallest things!
