Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)

Chapter 224

Astrid frowned but didn’t move.

Carla was suddenly shoved aside by the man who’d just walked in and hit the wall hard. “Why the rush

to leave, pretty lady? Can’t we just chat?” He said. The man closed and locked the door behind him. He

had a wicked smile on his face as he turned to look at Astrid.

Astrid recognized him. He was Lambert, a seasoned TV host who had been in the industry for over a

decade. His humorous hosting style and solid professional skills had earned him countless fans.

But what Astrid hadn’t expected was that behind the humorous and charming persona on TV, he was

actually this kind of person.

Judging by Carla’s reaction, she must’ve known what kind of person Lambert was, which was why she

had told her to run.

But there was only one door in this makeup room. Where could she run to?

And besides, she had no intention of running away.

As Lambert advanced step by step, Carla quickly moved to stand in front of Astrid.

Even though she was scared, she resolutely shielded Astrid behind her.

“Sir, Ms. Irvine is one of Dale’s artists. Are you not afraid of angering him? And she is currently being

heavily promoted by Starlight Entertainment. If you do this, Starlight Entertainment will cut ties with our

station!”

“This is not your place to speak!” Lambert said. He roughly grabbed Carla’s arm and shoved her aside.

“I call the shots here. Who do you think will believe her if she goes out and accuses me of improper

advances?”

Indeed, with Lambert’s popularity, if Astrid went out and accused Lambert of making inappropriate

advances towards her in the makeup room, no one would believe her. Instead, she’d be subjected to a

torrent of abuse..

After all, Lambert’s image as a good man, a good father, and a good senior was deeply ingrained in

people’s minds. No one would believe that he could do such a thing.

“Hahaha…” Lambert laughed without restraint. “Let’s be straight. If you don’t make me happy today, I’ll

make sure the entire station blacklists you.” “Blacklist me?” Astrid sat leisurely in the chair, crossing her

legs. “On what grounds?”

Carla was shocked by Astrid’s domineering attitude. She leaned in and whispered in Astrid’s ear, “Ms.

Irvine, he’s good friends with Fannie. Many people say you’re the one who screwed Fannie over. I’m

afraid he won’t let you off the hook today. Better keep a low profile. I’ll stall him while you run; don’t

suffer for no reason.”

Astrid didn’t expect this girl she’d just met to help her out like this. She patted Carla on the shoulder

and smiled contentedly. “Don’t be scared; I’ll be fine!” “You, get out! Don’t interfere with my business! If

I hear any rumors when I get out, you know the consequences!” Lambert reached out to grab Carla, but

Astrid suddenly stood up and twisted his arm hard!

With a crisp “crack“, Carla felt a chill run down her spine.

“Ah!” Lambert cried out in pain and his face twisted in agony. “My hand, my hand… Call an ambulance, All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

call an ambulance…”

Lambert tried to reach for his phone with his other hand, but Astrid snatched it away.

Astrid looked at Lambert with a blank expression and her arms crossed in front of her chest, despising

him. “You’ve used these tactics to bully countless newcomers, haven’t you? How can you be so

despicable?”

“You, how dare you talk to me like that?” Lambert had a wide network of connections and held a high

position in the station, so many young actors who were unfairly treated dared not speak up, and those

who wanted to fight back were silenced by his money.

He had always been attracted to Astrid’s beauty, but the last time Astrid came to the station, Dale was

there, so he didn’t make a move.

But this time, once he saw that Astrid was alone In the makeup room, he decided to pursue his ulterior

motives.
