Chapter 447
"Alright, sis, I better be going. You two seem to have a busy day ahead, don't you? I'll see myself out."
Lucinda hoped to avoid any confrontation with Astrid, so she began to back away, but Astrid wasn't
about to let her off that easily!
With a firm grip on Lucinda's arm and a smile that seemed amiable, Astrid said, "Now that you're here,
don't rush off."
"Many of our followers know we're not exactly chummy. Let alone sisterly love. Your acting earlier was
pretty poor. Did you really think everyone would buy your 'slip of the tongue'?"
Lucinda was taken aback by Astrid's blunt attack, as the relationship between them clearly meant
nothing to Astrid now.
The viewers were thrilled beyond words, as if they had just chugged an energy drink. "Holy smokes,
watching Astrid tear into her sister is even better than watching Mr. Lampard defending his wife!"
[Astrid is so bad, no beating around the bush, she goes straight for the jugular!]
[Formidable Astrid, as strong as Hades!]
[Astrid: Watch me rip apart this innocent act of yours.]
[LOL, loving it! Tear apart the innocent and the manipulative, Astrid is a pro.]
[Knew it! Knew this girl was faking it, stirring up drama. This is way better than any lame soap opera.]
[Is Astrid going too far? It's her sister after all. Is she really being fair coming at her like this? Isn't there
a saying, 'To err is human, to forgive divine'?]
Lucinda went pale, "What are you talking about, sis? I just misspoke, how could you accuse me like
this?"
With effort, Lucinda managed to squeeze out a few tears, looking like she was greatly wronged.
Astrid, who knew Lucinda inside out, was disgusted by her act. "Lucinda, stop your drama, I'm not
buying it. Let me just cut to the chase: you're not here to celebrate my success. You're here because I
refused to give you money a few days ago, and you're here to stir up trouble!"
The room fell silent, shocked by Astrid's revelation. So this was about money?
Lucinda turned deathly pale, nervously waving her hands and avoiding the camera, "That's not true, not This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
true at all. We just asked to borrow money from you, not to take it for free. We lived together for
eighteen years, sis, let's not air our dirty laundry in public."
Astrid, as if not hearing her, continued, "Firstly, I apologise for not being upfront about having a child. It
was my mistake. Elio and I have a complicated relationship, and I didn't want to expose our child to
unnecessary harm. All I wanted was to give him a happy childhood.
I did mention earlier that I had some good news to share with you all, and it's about me and my little
angel. I just didn't expect Lucinda to spill the beans. She claimed it was an accident, but it was
intentional. I'm grateful to my foster mother Sandra Irvine for adopting me from the orphanage. But
when my biological father took me back, he compensated Sandra and her family.
My ties with the Irvine family were severed long ago, but Sandra and Lucinda have been trying to
blackmail me for money. Lucinda's so-called accidental slip today was because they asked for money a
few days ago and I refused. They're trying to ruin me. I have evidence to prove it."
