Chapter 37
Tina breathed a sigh of relief and immediately sent over the address.
She thought Brandon might kick up a fuss when he found out that Ello was after Astrid. Ello and the
hot–tempered Brandon might end up at each other’s throats. Last year, a rich man tried to hit on Astrid
even though he had a girlfriend, and Brandon beat him so badly he spent a month in the hospital.
Brandon didn’t care who the man was, if he tried to take his sister, he’d go ballistic, no questions asked.
Thinking of all Astrid’s over–zealous suitors, Tina thought Elio was in for a rough ride.
Carson had been pulled away by Paula for a long chat. When he returned to the lounge, he saw Elio
looking at the dressing room door and smiling. Smiling? His boss can smile?
Carson thought he was seeing things, so he rubbed his eyes, only to find that his boss was indeed
smiling!
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed his boss had such a soft side.

Feeling Carson’s presence, Elio instantly switched back to his usual icy demeanor,” What is it?”
Carson: “Paula, Fannie’s agent, wants to arrange a meeting with you to discuss the recent suspension
of Fannie’s project. Our contract with Fannie is about to expire, and I recently discovered that the head
agent of our competitor, Vista Visual, has been meeting with Fannie privately. Paula hinted that if we
continue to suspend Fannie’s project, Fannie might switch over to Vista Visual.”
Elio: “Terminate the contract immediately, and from now on, all the films and TV shows our group
invests in won’t need Fannie.”
Fannie dared to threaten him?
Feeling Elio’s icy stare, Carson felt a sudden chill. Indeed, his boss’s gentleness was reserved for
Astrid alone.
Carson: “Boss, should I arrange to sign your wife to our company?”
Wife? Hearing this, the chill in Elio’s eyes softened, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his
mouth. “Sure, but don’t let her know it was my idea.”
“Right away, boss,” Carson said, hurrying out to contact the film and TV company. As soon as he hung
up, he received a WhatsApp message from the financial director: “Carson, what big thing have you
done? The boss just texted me personally to give you a bonus this month.”
Carson: “I didn’t do anything.”
Financial Director: “There’s no way the boss would give you a bonus for no reason. Stop being stingy
and tell me what you did. Let’s make money together.” Carson was dumbfounded. He racked his brain
but couldn’t figure it out.
Just then, he received a message from the head of Starlight Entertainment, and suddenly it clicked. His
boss had given him a bonus because he’d referred to Astrid as his wife.
From now on, he decided, he would stick close to Astrid. With her on his side, making big bucks would
be a piece of cake!

An hour later, Todd arranged for cars to take the actors to the press conference. Astrid, Joana, and her
agent Emily rode together.
Fearing that her acquaintances might do something unexpected, she sent a message in a WhatsApp
group named ‘My Friends‘: ‘All of you, don’t cheer for me, or you’re
toast!‘
Leaders from all walks of life seeing the message; one by one silently picked up their phones and
canceled their lavish support.
As for her unreliable brothers… forget it, they wouldn’t listen even if she told them.
Joana looked at Astrid’s custom–made gown and her beautiful face and felt a pang of envy.
Emily: “Joana is the most beautiful, no matter what she wears, her fans love her. But some people…
even if she’s dressed to the nines, there’s not a single fan on site, no one knows her. Who are they
trying to impress?”
