Love in the Limelight

Chapter 412
Bernice over there was sobbing her heart out, looking as if she’d been dealt a raw deal.
Astrid’s face was expressionless, but her heart was full of sneers. She got up from her chair and slowly approached Bernice,
“Auntie Bernice, I didn’t see It coming that you’d stab me in the back like this! You’ve been in showbiz for years, not a rookie, you
do realize how much that would affect me, don’t you? But you, you played the victim first. Shouldn’t I be the real one feeling
screwed over? The fake fiancé you made up could ruin my career, yet I haven’t shed a tear, and here you are crying your eyes
out. Do you think a good cry can fix everything?”
Bernice was taken aback that Astrid called her out in front of everyone, she was speechless for a moment, “Astrid, we can talk
this out in private. There are so many people watching live, we’ll be the laughingstock if we make a scene.”
“Laughingstock? Weren’t you trying to make a joke out of me when you posted that comment?” Astrid smirked, “I’m gonna settle
this once and for all right here, so no one can use this against me in the future. Since you claim I have a fiancé, spit out his name
now and call him on the spot. Let him clarify our relationship in front of the audience.”
As Astrid finished, Bernice’s heart suddenly raced.
Ever since the last incident, Hawthorne Cliff had shut himself off and hadn’t shown his face for a while.
Whether she could get through to him was one thing, what he would say was another.
“Er...” Hawthorne bit her lip, “He wouldn’t admit it for the sake of your career, even if we get through, what would that prove?
Besides, he’s overseas, the call might not even go through.”
Bernice’s evasion only made the audience more suspicious.
Comments: [What’s Bernice doing? Just try making the call.]
[The overseas live streaming is currently off, if the guy she’s talking about is overseas, he wouldn’t be watching the live and
wouldn’t know what’s happening on the show, so making a call now would definitely uncover the truth!]
[I’m on team Astar, she must be innocent,It’s Bernice who’s beating around the bush, something’s fishy.]
[What’s the deal between Bernice and this so–called fiancé? She’s targeting Astar for him, all to make Mr. Lampard back off so
Astar might end up with him. So sneaky!]

Anyone who’s in good terms with a scheming woman like Bernice can’t be a good person. Astar wouldn’t fall for it.]
[I just can’t understand, is Bernice exposing herself? She started all those negative comments to frame Astrid, but who knew it’d
backfire on her?] [Why aren’t any of Bernice’s fans defending her? Your sweet and gentle goddess has shown her true colors!]
[She’s such a liar!]
The two were at a standstill for a while, with Bernice refusing to make the call.
Seeing this, Elio said calmly, “You’re afraid to make the call, because this so–called fiancé is just something you made up to
smear Astrid, isn’t it?” Bernice said, “I didn’t make anything up, Hawthorne was originally Astrid’s fiancé!”
