SWNOVELS Chapter 528
Comments flooded the screen.
[LOL, Karin seems to be backed into a corner by Astrid with much pressure!]
[You should always leave some wiggle room for the future, but Astrid's taking it too far. Karin's literally fainted from anger, right?]
[Did she faint from anger or was it the poison kicking in?]
[You all got it twisted. Astrid's just shedding light on the truth. Should she have silently taken the blame instead of calling out the real culprit?]
[Do some people even have brains? Sure, Karin got poisoned, but she brought the poison herself. And she had the antidote, which she then spilled by herself. Even if she did die from the poison, it's on her!] [What a hell! Who's still hating on Astrid? What's wrong with defending yourself when someone tries to poison you? Should she be chummy with her would-be murderer?]
[Do you want to make friends with someone who poisons you when you're not looking?]
[Will you get along well with someone that poisons you and then bites back?]
[Astrid just wanted to have a low-key adventure and shoot a reality show, but it's like everyone's lining up to be the next one out the door. Unbelievable.]
[I think Karin is kinda pitiful. She's an orphan in Google, but her mom's a big-time celebrity who refuses to acknowledge her. Whatever she did was probably because someone pulled her strings.]
[Manipulated or not, she's an adult and needs to face the music for her actions. If Astrid wasn't skilled in first aid, we might've found Karin dead without a clue to what happened. Karin did poison someone and ditch the evidence. Just time for the law to step in.]
[It's sad, really. So many of Karin's tracks are in my playlist, and now it's over just like that.]
Paramedics carried Karin away on a stretcher.
Astrid knew Karin was faking the faint, but she chose not to reveal that Bernice was the one pulling the strings.
The truth was that Bernice never saw Karin as her daughter. Yet, deep down, Karin yearned for Bernice's love so desperately that she'd rather shoulder the blame herself than expose Bernice's machinations. She would rather sacrifice her future to protect someone who didn't care for her at all.
It was truly tragic.
After Karin's exit, the show didn't bring in any replacement guests. The remaining guests just continued filming. Karin's actions constituted premeditated attempted murder. Though she hadn't succeeded, it was still a crime.
Her singing career was over, and a dark, prison life awaited her.
Despite it all, Bernice never reached out, let alone visited her.
The reality show had its ups and downs but eventually wrapped up successfully.
Exhausted from the long shoot, Astrid took a relaxing bath at the hotel. When she woke up, her phone was blowing up with messages.
Yawning, she opened her messaging app and saw a text from Jon, [Star, did you hear? Robb and Dale eloped to Ireland and got married!]
Astrid sat bolt upright, instantly wide awake, [Damn, Robb could've at least given us a heads-up. How do you keep a wedding a secret from your friends?]
Jon replied, [He only told Matt, and even then, he just mentioned a trip to Ireland with Dale. Who would've thought they'd sneak off and tie the knot?]
