Chapter 269

These vulgar idol dramas were really harmful. He must watch less idol dramas in the future……..

Astrid and Chad discussed their strategy and then left with Roman.

After all, dinner was at night, she could still handle her own stuff during the day.

Elio wanted to tag along, but he got cold–shouldered.

Back in the car, he dialed Gracie.

As soon as Gracie heard it was him, her mood soured: “Mr. Lampard, what’s up?”

Elio: “Gracie, do you know Yates?”

Gracie: “Sure do, he’s a big shot at our school and is super tight with Astrid.”

Speaking of Yates, Gracie couldn’t help but feel nostalgic.

If Yates hadn’t left for abroad, he’d be protecting Astrid, that kid wouldn’t have been taken.

Some things are just destined to be.

Elio: “They… just friends?”

“Well…” Gracie hesitated, there were things she didn’t want to spill to Elio.

But the hurt Astrid’s been through, it was fitting for Elio, the culprit, to make amends.

And she could tell, Astrid had a soft spot for this guy.

After a few beats of silence, Gracie started, “Yates and Astrid go way back, they’ve always been tight,

Yates used to fight off bullies for her. When we were freshmen, Lucinda Irvine got a bunch of people to

bully Astrid, Yates came in swinging a pipe and injured them, then he got expelled, his folks shipped

him off abroad. Astrid always saw him as a friend, the night he left he confessed his feelings to Astrid,

but she turned him down right there. Then they lost touch. I’m not sure what happened after, but I think

they reconnected after Astrid left for abroad.”

Gracie spilled a lot about Yates, but one point stuck out.

Yates got rejected.

There was no romantic involvement between them.

“Thanks, Gracie.” Elio hung up, feeling strangely relieved.

The dinner party kicked off, the hotel’s luxury suite was packed.

All big shots from the business world.

Everyone was laughing and chatting with a drink in hand, Tania sat among the crowd, her gaze

constantly drifting to the entrance.

Ruining a female star could be simple.

A scandalous video was the quickest and most direct way.

Today’s setup was all for Astrid.

Once Astrid showed up, she was toast.

Astrid was becoming a serious threat, Tania needed her out of the picture to secure her top star

position.

She clawed her way up in the industry, suffered all sorts of cold shoulders, finally landed where she is

today.

She wouldn’t allow anyone to snatch what’s hers.

“Sorry everyone, I’m late.” A pleasing voice came from the entrance. Everybody turned around and saw

Astrid standing at the doorway.

Astrid wasn’t dolled up, but she was naturally stunning, even without makeup she could steal the show.

Many producers on site were captivated by her beauty.

There were certain unspoken rules in the entertainment circle, everyone just sort of goes along.

Newbies like Astrid were more likely to accept these rules.

“Astrid, over here~” Tania acted super friendly, as if they were besties, “I’ve been waiting for you.

Latecomers have to down three shots~”

Jania grabbed a glass, poured a drink swiftly and handed it to Astrid, “All these directors are watching,

if you refuse, you’d seem like you don’t know the drill.”
