Love in the Limelight

Chapter 401
At first, netizens were blown away by Elio’s thoughtfulness, but now they’re used to it.
But when Bernice saw this, she felt it was unfair for Hawthorne.
After all, Hawthorne was head over heels for Astrid, he was even willing to give up everything for her. Yet, Astrid was not only
indifferent to him, but she also openly flaunted her love with Elio on the show.
Thank heavens Hawthorne didn’t watch the live broadcast abroad, otherwise, he would’ve been so mad he could spit blood.
Thinking of her pitiful nephew, Hawthorne gave Elio a slight smile, “Mr. Lampard, why would you give up your company to
participate in this reality show? Besides, it seems that Astrid doesn’t accept your feelings. What’s the point of persisting like
this?”
Elio’s gaze immediately turned cold, “None of your business.”
Bernice was left speechless by his response.
She shut her mouth.
Her expression was one of profound disappointment.
In the past, Elio had some respect for Bernice, but after he found out that Bernice wanted to ruin his relationship with Astrid, all
he felt for this woman was disgust.
Fans were heartbroken seeing Bernice’s sad face and even started attacking Elio: [Elio is so rude!]
[Is Mr. Lampard rude? Is Bernice polite then? What’s it to her if Mr. Lampard participates in the reality show! I bet she’s just trying
to stop Mr. Lampard from pursuing Astrid!]
[I also think Bernice is here to stop Mr. Lampard from pursuing Astrid.]
[Are you guys crazy?! Bernice always avoids conflicts with others, she wouldn’t intervene in other people’s relationships!]
[I’ll bet a bag of chips, this woman is definitely not simple!]

Bernice said she wanted to eat more meat before the meal, but when it came to eating, she didn’t eat any snake meat at all. She
just had some soup, ate some wild vegetables and then left.
Parrish thought Bernice really liked snake meat and had specially prepared some for her. Now seeing the uneaten snake meat,
he felt it was a total waste.
After dinner, the group went out to find food.
The daytime temperature was quite high, and everyone felt thirsty after walking for a short while. But without clean drinking
water, they could only endure.
The tropical rainforest may seem abundant in resources, but finding food was no less difficult than in the snowy mountains.
In the snowy mountains, you can hunt rabbits and pheasants, but there is not much food in the rainforest. If they couldn’t find
food, they might go hungry today.
You definitely can’t run around in this forest at night.
“Look, bananas!” Astrid shouted excitedly, then quickly ran ahead.
Following her gaze, everyone saw several bunches of bananas hanging on the trees.
Bananas are common fruits in tropical rainforests and are ripe year–round. Although these bananas were not fully ripe, they
could already be eaten.
“I’ll pick the bananas!” Parrish, with his impressive jumping ability, quickly picked a lot of bananas.
Parrish and Clyde didn’t start eating right away after getting the bananas. They looked at Astrid and Naylor, then asked quietly,
“Can we eat these directly?”
Seeing their somewhat confused expressions, Astrid couldn’t help but laugh, “Yes, you can eat them directly.”
After saying that, Astrid also peeled a banana and took a bite. It tasted sweet and sour and the texture was pretty good.
This trip out was finally not in vain.

“Although bananas are tasty, they can’t fill you up, and the more you eat, the thirstier you get. It would be nice if we had water.”
Parrish complained a bit, but seeing Bernice’s changing expression, he quickly explained, “Ms. Bernice, I didn’t mean to blame
you, I’m just habitually complaining.”
