Love in the Limelight

Chapter 396
“Help! I’m dying over here!”
“Astrid, please, we need you!”
The voice was very faint due to the distance, so faint that the cameras hanging in the trees might not pick it up.
No one said anything, but they all knew exactly what was going on.
The show had rules, except for the guests and the film crew, no one was supposed to be on the island unless it was an
emergency.
The appearance of these people and these snakes seemed eerily synchronized, making it easy to guess what was happening.
Astrid had known there were people in the woods. She had other ways of escaping, but she deliberately used the sulfur to scare
off the snakes, intending to let the ones who meant her harm get a taste of their own medicine.
Saving them? No way in hell!
“Let’s head back.” Elio turned and started walking. He took the lead, and Clyde naturally fell to the back of the group.
Everyone silently moved forward, no one even thinking of turning back.
As if they hadn’t heard the commotion behind them.
Comments: “Why aren’t Astrid and the others helping?!”
“They just keep moving forward, they probably didn’t hear it, the distance is pretty far after all.”
“I was just looking at the night view of the island and noticed that a lot of cameras along the way are broken. Looks like it’s their
doing!”
“Huh? They’re not part of the crew?”
“Oh my god, did they release those snakes?”
“Jeez, this is scary as hell! I’m getting chills! Someone’s actually trying to harm these celebrities?”

Astrid and the others made their way back to the cave. Maddox and the others noticed the unusual reactions and questions from
the viewers in the comments, and immediately sent a fully–equipped medical team to rescue those people.
No matter who they were, they couldn’t let them die on their show.
Otherwise that would be the end of it!
Those people couldn’t admit that they brought the snakes to harm Astrid, so after being bitten they kept quiet, claiming they
didn’t know there were people filming on the island and that they were bitten by the snakes by accident.
Due to the difficult terrain, the rescue was delayed and the snakebite victims were severely infected. Two of them lost the use of
their legs, and another lost the use of a hand.
Maddox wasn’t going to take their word for it so easily. Although he accepted their story on the surface, he immediately sent
people to investigate behind the
scenes.
Before Maddox could uncover the truth, Chad had already found all the information about the culprits.
Robb seemed to have some kind of sixth sense. Before Chad could arrange for revenge, Robb had already sent a message,
“Give me the name. I’ll take care of it.”
Chad sent the information to Robb.
Five hours later, the headlines on all major news outlets and social media platforms changed to: “Famous businessman Hackett
Gil of the Gil Group exposed for leaking national secrets.”
“Gil Group’s funds run dry, facing bankruptcy.”
“Gil Group under investigation for illegal transactions.”
“Heir to the Gil Group, Ramsey Gil, infected with a strange disease, critically ill.”
The Gil Group had a strong base in the capital, which was why Ramsey had dared to be so arrogant in front of Astrid.
But who could’ve imagined, overnight, the Gil Group’s scandals were exposed.

The sudden collapse of the Gil Group, the father and son duo were about to face criminal charges for their illegal activities.
That night, the whole city was restless.
But Astrid and the others, without their phones, slept like babies.
Early next morning, the official tweet from the show announced that due to unforeseen circumstances, Joana would no longer be
able to continue participating in -the island adventure show. Bernice would be joining the show as a special guest.
This tweet immediately caused a huge stir.
