Love in the Limelight

Chapter 355
“Would you stop being so grumpy?” Nathan eyed the stuff in Nash’s hands nervously, silently backing off to the staircase. “Don’t
forget to lock your lab when you leave, just in case any of your chemicals leaks knocks Mom and Dad out cold!”
Nash shot Nathan a glare. “What do you mean ‘chemicals leaks‘? These are my precious experimental materials. And by the
way, did you get your plane ticket yet?” Nathan said, “No. Edgar said they’re taking a cruise.”
“So, they’re slow and you decided to be slow too? How long will it take for the cruise to get to the destination? By the time you
get there, Robb would’ve sorted everything out. Would there be anything left for us?” Nash grumbled, grabbing his phone to
book a flight.
Watching Nash retreat to his room for a shower, Nathan shook his head. Only Star could make him put down his experiments.
One by one, several brothers rushed to J City.
Meanwhile, the award ceremony was still going on.
The event was progressing smoothly, but there were whispers and pointing fingers in Astrid’s direction.
Seeing this, Clyde quietly suggested, “You can get your agent to confirm if you’ve won anything. If not, you’d better duck out
early, or you won’t be able to escape once the reporters swarm in.”
Astrid was well aware she’d be cornered by the press soon, but she had no intention of letting those behind her scandal off the
hook.
Her phone buzzed with a message. She glanced at it and turned to Clyde. “Thanks for the tip. I need to step out.”
Watching Astrid leave, Clyde let out a sigh of relief.
Secret relationships were common in showbiz, so Astrid having a boyfriend wasn’t an issue. But the public exposure of this
photo means she must have been deliberately targeted.
Her name was everywhere on social media, which is bound to stir up jealousy.
He could only hope Elio could help Astrid ride out this storm. After filming a variety show together, his impression of Astrid greatly
improved.

She was like a walking encyclopedia, seemingly knowing everything, which was astonishing.
As Astrid exited the event, a man in black wearing a mask approached. “Astar, Chad sent me.”
“Okay.” Astrid nodded. “You brought the stuff I asked for?”
“Yes.” The man handed a chic Chanel handbag to Astrid. She opened it, checked the contents, and gave a satisfied nod. “Tell
Chad to keep a close eye on the Lampard family. And send more people to protect Roman.”
The man nodded. “Yes, Astar.”
Watching him go, Astrid picked up her phone and texted Chad: “Let’s go.”
Three seconds later, she stepped out of the blind spot of the surveillance camera. This corridor was now covered by the second
floor’s surveillance footage.
She approached the control room, hearing faint voices inside.
Pressing her ear to the door, she heard someone say, “Good job. The money will be in your account shortly.”
Laughter echoed from within. Astrid’s eyes narrowed slightly as she texted Chad: “Please hack into the control room’s
surveillance. I want to see who’s inside.” Chad replied: “Already on it. I’ve also captured the part where the person told others to
expose your photo. I’ll upload it online later to clear your name.”
A second later, Chad sent over several photos and a screenshot.
