Love in the Limelight

Chapter 399
[She probably didn’t do it on purpose, she’s always said she’s got zero experience with this wilderness survival stuff.]
[But she also mentioned that she’s been following this live show all along, so she should know the importance of drinking water.
After all, they’ve been using this basin to filter water all along, if she really watched the show, she should know.]
[I still think she did it on purpose.]
[Oh, my, are we now even nitpicking at a goddess like Bernice? I swear she didn’t do it on purpose.]
On the screen, everyone’s defending Bernice, who just finished washing her hands and finally noticed something was off.
She looked at everyone staring at her and kept waving her hands in apology, “I’m so sorry, it’s a habit to wash my hands every
time I get home. I didn’t mean to.” Since Bernice said so, Naylor and the others didn’t find it appropriate to say more, and simply
said, “It’s okay.”
“Astrid, you should have reminded me.” Bernice glanced at Astrid and shyly fixed her hair.
Astrid shrugged, “Didn’t you say you’ve been watching this show? I thought you knew that we use this basin to filter water. It’s
okay, we’ll find more water when it’s gone.”
¡
“That’s right, Ms. Bernice, don’t blame yourself. We’ll just look for more water.” Clyde chuckled and enthusiastically handed her
some snake meat, “Ms. Bernice, you must be hungry, right? Astrid’s cooking skills are top–notch, the taste is absolutely first–
class.”
“I’ve known that she’s a great cook for a while. Before...” Bernice glanced at Astrid, smiled mysteriously, and then stopped
talking.
At that moment, Astrid understood Bernice’s real intention for coming here.
She had previously made a bet with her father and brothers: if she didn’t win the Best Actress award, she would have to go
home and inherit the family business, and she could never enter the entertainment industry again.
When she had made the bet, Bernice had known about it.

Hawthorne Cliff had been scheming behind her back, hoping to force her to leave the entertainment industry and inherit the
family business. Bernice had always spoiled Hawthorne, so she must have come on the show to help him.
The bet clearly stated that she had to win the Best Actress award without revealing her identity.
Bernice knew her bet, that this woman was like a bomb that could go off at any moment.
“Astrid, you look unhappy. Are you mad at me? You always seemed happy when I watched the live stream before, did I make
you upset by coming?” Bernice’s words pulled Astrid out of her thoughts and also made the audience a bit disgruntled with Astrid
through her question.
Comments: [I noticed too, Astrid seems to dislike Ms. Bernice!]
[She didn’t even bother to greet her, she’s a renowned senior in the acting industry, yet she’s been showing her discontent and
ignoring her, why?]
[Are you blind? Astrid is not upset, she was just daydreaming. Stop making assumptions about others. Bernice is your goddess,
but Astrid is our darling too!] [Indeed, they’re all on the same show, should everyone around her cater to Bernice?]
[Am I the only one who finds Bernice a bit weird?]
[I think Astrid is a bit arrogant, getting a bit of attention has made her big–headed. Compared to Bernice, a legend in the film and
TV industry, what is Astrid?]
[Astrid’s fans, let’s be rational. Don’t argue with those malicious fans, we can’t let Astrid’s public image be damaged!]
