Love in the Limelight

Chapter 404
[Fiancé? Woah, that’s some shocking news!]
[So, is this the thing Bernice didn’t finish talking about before?]
[Some people are talking as if they’ve heard it all under the bed‘]
I have a friend in the entertainment industry who told me personally that Astrid has a fiancé, and he’s a hot mixed–race hunk.
Now that Astrid is famous, she wants to back out!)
[Is that true? She’s going back on her word because of her fame? That’s too bad!]
[There’s no fiancé for Astar, stop spreading rumors. Anything not officially announced can’t be trusted!]
[She claims to be single while having a fiancé, and openly accepting Mr. Lampard’s pursuit. This woman is too much!]
The comments were chaotic, and Astrid, who was busy playing poker, kept sneezing, feeling very uncomfortable. She rubbed
her nose and passed the cards to Elio, “Help me out, I need a drink.”
“Sure.” Elio took the cards curiously. As Astrid got up, she saw a faint light at Bernice’s place.
It was a light she was all too familiar with, the light from a phone screen.
So Bernice was still hiding her phone.
Astrid didn’t want to meddle, but just as she was about to walk away, she heard Parrish shouting, “Ms. Bernice, this is dishonest!
How could you sneak a phone in?”
Parrish’s voice was loud and clear, startling Bernice rigid.
“Ms. Bernice, guests are not allowed to bring phones, hand it over now.” Parrish added, and all eyes turned to Bernice.
Bernice had to awkwardly smile and hand over her phone, “Parrish, you have good eyes. I didn’t expect you to find out so
quickly.”
Although Bernice said this with a smile, she had already cursed Parrish a thousand times in her heart.

The netizens were surprised that Bernice still had a phone, but the comments on her hiding the phone were mixed.
Comments: [What’s wrong with her hiding a phone? It’s not a big deal, she handed it over, didn’t she?]
[I think an artist of Bernice’s status should be allowed some privileges, like keeping a phone! Parrish is making a mountain out of
a molehill!]
[If you’re on the show, you should follow the rules, she shouldn’t be the exception!]
[What happened to the guy who said Astrid had a fiancé? Why isn’t he talking?]
[Yeah, I noticed that too, that person isn’t saying anything!].
[Probably got scolded for spreading rumors and left.]
[Everything happens for a reason, I still think what that person said might be true.]
Seeing the comments, Chad immediately tracked down the person’s information.
In less than five minutes, Chad had completely cracked the account.
“Who is it? Did you find out?” Hank leaned over and saw a name: Bernice.
Hank said, “Wow? Bernice? So she was sneaking a phone to spread rumors about the Chief? Why would she do that? I thought
she was on good terms with the Chief?”
“You’re asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?” Chad was genuinely puzzled. If it were anyone else, he would have dealt with
them.
But Bernice, they couldn’t just do anything to her.
Because she’s not just anyone.
“Never mind, let’s find Robb. The Cliff family and the Brooke family are close, let him decide what to do.” Chad said, picking up
his phone to call Robb.
Before he could dial, Hank stopped him, “Wait, look at this trending topic!”

“What’s it?” Chad clicked to look, and was immediately so angry he almost passed out.
