Chapter 403
Bernice’s words had layers of meaning, how could Astrid not get it?
She picked up two pebbles and began to fiddle with them, as if she didn’t hear what Bernice said.
The night was very quiet.
Bernice knew that Astrid always disliked when people brought up her mother, so she didn’t expect
Astrid to be so cool about it.
Astrid was so calm that it was getting confusing.
After a while, Astrid slowly said, “I do look a lot like my mom, she was gentle and kind. My mom was
too trusting and got tricked by some two–faced people.”
“But I’m different, I’m cunning and not easily fooled. If someone messes with me once, I’ll get back at NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
them a hundred times!”
“If anyone I care about gets hurt, I won’t let the culprit,off, no matter who they are.”
In the darkness, Astrid’s voice was chillingly cold.
Bernice felt a coldness emanating from Astrid and was at a loss for words.
Even though Astrid didn’t say it outright, she knew the message behind her words.
Astrid was warning her.
“Star, you… Bernice wanted to say something, but Astrid had already stood up.
Bernice looked up at Astrid, who stretched lazily, smiled, and said casually, “I’ll go make dinner.”
Watching Astrid cheerfully enter the cave, Bernice stared at the cave entrance, it took her a long time
to snap back to reality.
The past should have ended with that woman’s death, but what Astrid said had her worried.
Was her mom tricked by a two–faced person?
Was Astrid implying that she was the two–faced person?
Ms. Bernice, it’s windy outside. Come in.” Parrish called from inside. Bernice nodded and walked in.
Astrid and the others were laughing heartily. Even the usually aloof Naylor seemed to have softened a
bit.
Bernice sat thère, unable to join in, feeling a bit awkward.
After dinner, Astrid and Clyde gathered to play poker.
Elio sat next to her as her adviser.
Seeing Bernice alone and bored, Odell said, “Ms. Bernice, come and play with us. It’s boring to be
alone.”
“No, thanks, you guys play. I’m used to going to bed early.” Saying this, Bernice took out a small
blanket from her bag, spread it out next to her, and used her bag as a pillow to sleep.
Everyone heard her and left her alone.
It was nothing really.
But to the internet, it looked like a big deal.
It looked as if Bernice was being isolated.
Comments: [I feel like Astrid is purposefully isolating Bernice!]
[Definitely, Bernice stole Astrid’s thunder as soon as she arrived. Astrid must be upset, Bernice is too
gentle and kind, she’s no match for Astrid!]
[Seeing Bernice’s back, I can’t help but feel bad.]
[I really can’t understand Bernice’s fans. Bernice chose not to play and go to sleep, how did this
become Astrid isolating her?]
[Would it kill you to go a day without saying something mean about Astar?]
[I just got some inside scoop, Astrid has a fiance!]
It was now past ten o’clock at night, a lot of people were watching the live stream. This piece of news
was like a bomb, completely wiping out everyone’s sleepiness.
Comments: [Stop talking nonsense, are we just making up rumors now?]
[Don’t try to manipulate the conversation, Astrid said she was single!]
