Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)

Chapter 59

This feels so unreal.

After a moment of silence, Roman said softly, “Go check on Astrid”

“Alright,” Elio responded, then reached out and ruffled Roman’s hair. ” Go to sleep.”

Feeling the large hand atop his head, Roman paused. Elio seemed… a little different tonight.

Gentler, somehow.

It was odd.

He wasn’t used to it.

Just as Elio was watching Roman head upstairs and getting ready to watch the match, Carson’s call

came in. “Sir, there was a bit of a situation just now, but our guys didn’t have to lift a finger. Astrid

handled it herself.”

“What kind of situation?” Elio wasn’t interested into gossip, so he had no idea about the whole Lydia

thing.

Carson explained, “There’s this actress named Lydia who tried to set up Astrid, but got played instead.

And I noticed that besides our men, there are others who’ve been keeping an eye on Astrid’s every

move. They’ve rented all the rooms around her at a high price, and they look like professionally trained

bodyguards.”

Professional bodyguards?

Who the hell is she?

When Elio didn’t respond, Carson thought of Astrid swigging from a huge glass and decided things

weren’t so simple. “Sir, I sent you a video. Have a look.

Elio grunted an acknowledgment and hung up.

He clicked on the video…

It was a surveillance video from the party room. Astrid was having a blast with her big glass of booze…

people were dropping like flies around her, but aside from a bit of a flush, she seemed fine.

She left with an air of nonchalance, a swagger in her step.

“This girl…” Elio chuckled to himself. She was a gem.

She might seem goofy, but she was far from it. It wasn’t hard to guess what happened with Lydia-

clearly her scheme had backfired.

But then again, it was no surprise. Being a top international hacker at such a young age, she was no

ordinary genius.

Dealing with small fries like Lydia was a piece of cake for her.

Just then, a news headline popped up: “Starlight Entertainment Artist Lydia Scandal Exposed”

Starlight Entertainment?

That was his company.

Elio immediately texted Carson. “Get Lydia out of showbiz.”

Carson’s mouth twitched. “Roger that, sir.”

Truth be told, Lydia’s scandal was scandalous enough to make her exit stage left of her own accord.

What was exposed was pretty sleazy. When he saw the video circulating online, he was stunned.

This was an odd situation. Normally the media would contact the artist for a payoff before spiking the

news by destroying the video or photos.

But this time, all the media outlets were oddly unanimous in deciding to run the story. It was as if

someone was pulling the strings behind the scenes. However, Lydia was really confused. Why target

Astrid of all people? Now he saw the light his wife was a wolf in sheep’s clothing, seemingly cute and

harmless but actually quite dangerous. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

That night, Astrid’s sleep was surprisingly good.
