Chapter 105
Astrid sneered, “You been watching too many horror flicks or what? Ain’t no such thing as witches in
this world.”
She was already soaked to the skin, so Astrid just plopped down on the steps.
The rain seemed to clear her head a bit.
Her bodyguard in the shadows immediately texted Robb: “Ms. Irvine’s drunk as a skunk, sitting in the
rain. Should we take her home?”
Robb: “No need, just make sure she’s safe.”
Because of the distance and dim lighting no one saw the chain in Astrid’s palm.
So, they all thought something weird must’ve happened when Leah suddenly rolled away.
No matter how her manager yelled, Leah acted like she was under a spell.
In the end, she had no choice but to slap Leah.
The sharp pain snapped Leah out of it. She got up from the ground, looking bewildered in the rain.

Abby was confused, “You don’t know what just happened? You walked over to talk to Astrid and started
rolling around. If I hadn’t grabbed you, you would’ve rolled into the street and got hit by a car.”
What? Leah looked through the rain at the girl sitting on the steps, her head buried in her knees,
looking like she had fallen asleep.
She had no memory of rolling around on the ground, which was strange.
Looking deeply, Leah walked quickly towards Astrid, shouting, “Astrid, what did you do to me?“”
“Do you enjoy making a fool out of yourself? Look at you like a beggar.”
“So what if Mr. Willie defended you? Without him, you’re just a nobody.
“You, a girl from the slums, dreaming of chasing after a rich son like Mr. Willie, he’s just temporarily
Intrigued; otherwise, why would he leave you here alone?”
This hotel was close to the charity event, and many celebrities had dinner there. Because of the heavy
rain, everyone was waiting in the lobby, unable to leave. Hearing Leah’s yelling, everyone came out.
Leah talked a big game but was scared, so she dared not get close to Astrid.
Everyone looked at Astrid sitting in the rain, looking miserable, and started whispering, “What’s up with
Astrid? Why’s she sitting in the rain?“.
“She looks so miserable.”
“Doesn’t she have a car?”
“She’s not a big star; how could she have a private car?”
“Looks like she’s been dumped by her sugar daddy?”
Astrid couldn’t hear what they were saying, her ears were ringing, and she was barely conscious.
She looked up to see a crowd had formed around her..
Everyone was pointing at her as if she was a joke.
I’m screwed; I got drunk on the wind after drinking.”
“Dale’s so unreliable; why isn’t he back yet…” Astrid mumbled, seeing through the haze that Dale’s car
had pulled up nearby.

Before Astrid could react, Elio grabbed her arm and pulled her up.
The moment she was close to him, Astrid felt a sudden relief…
The wind was strong, and Astrid was utterly drunk.
Seeing her soaked clothes, Elio frowned. He was about to take off his jacket for her, but she held his
arm tightly.
Elio looked at her, frowning.
The girl was flushed, her eyes half–closed, looking quite drunk.
She looked at him, and after a few seconds, she whispered, “Elio, carry me…!
Her head was spinning, her body weak, so she really couldn’t walk anymore.
She could only ask him to carry her.
Hearing Astrid’s words, everyone was dumbfounded. Had Astrid gone mad?
She actually asked Elio to carry her?
Everyone knew Elio hated being touched by women!
Mr. Lampard not kicking her away was already being nice!
But before anyone could react, Elio had already squatted before her, saying softly, “Climb on.”
