Astrid sat nearby, the incredulity of the situation growing within her. Unable to control herself, she burst out, "Hey, stop making it
seem like I'm always bullying you."
Eresponded, "No, no, I'm always a willing victim."
The reporter was taken aback, and Astrid gritted her teeth, "ELampard!"
Eimmediately straightened up, "Alright, I'm done."
The reporter attempted to steer the conversation, "Well... Astrid, your performance in 'Adventures in the Abyss' was quite
impressive. I've seen many directors and producers offering jobs to you. Are you planning on focusing more on acting or film
making in the future?"
Astrid: "My goal is to win an Oscar, so I'm definitely focusing on the film industry. | appreciate the attention I've received from
directors and producers, and | hope to have the opportunity to work with them in the future."
Reporter asked, "There have been rumors that sfans have stopped following you since you've had a child. What are your
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthoughts on this?"
Astrid replied, "It's their choice, and | can't interfere. But | don't see anything wrong with having a child at a young age, nor do |
think my child will impact my career."
Reporter continued, "Family reality shows are very popular these days. Do you have any plans to join one with your husband and
baby?"
"Husband? | don't have a husband." Astrid glanced at Ewith a look of distaste, "If there's a show about mothers and babies, |
might consider it. As for anything else, I'm not interested."
Ewas upset, but he kept a cool facade.
Gracie was outside, waiting for Astrid while playing a game. As soon as she finished, she saw the door open. She quickly walked
over, but before she could enter the room, the reporter and staff hurriedly left as if something serious had happened.
Gracie was puzzled and asked, "What happened? What did you guys do to the reporter?”
Astrid shrugged, "Nothing really."
"But her face looked really off!" Gracie shook her head and added, "We have another appointment tonight. We should head there
now."
Esaid, "Astrid, | have a meeting at the company. | won't be able to accompany you to the show. I'll pick you up when it's over."
"There's no need for you to pickup. We can drive ourselves home." Astrid said, and then left arm in arm with Gracie.
Ewatched them leave. Shortly after, Carson approached him, "Boss, we've looked into that guy from yesterday. As you
suspected, he was hired by Lucas’ father. But he wasn't acting alone."
"They're closely tied to an international assassination organization. You and the young master should stay has much as
possible for now."
"Stay home? Huh." Elio's laugh was cold, sending a shiver down Carson's spine.
A few seconds later, Estraightened his sleeves and said in an icy tone, "It's tthey learn who really runs the Lampard Group."
Carson replied, "Yes, Boss."
At 10 PM that night, during a break from recording the show, Astrid was napping in the dressing room when she heard a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcommotion outside.
She sat up suddenly and heard someone exclaim, "My God, what a gruesdeath! He was burned to ashes!"
"lI remember Morgenster Corporation owns this entertainment company, we've had their CEO on our station a few times. Can't
believe he's just gone like that."
