Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)

Chapter 74

Fannie was shaking with anger, “Dale, If you’re not taking my request seriously, then why did you even

bother inviting me over?”

“Do what?” Dale smirked slightly. “Can’t you figure out what I’m up to?, Obviously to humiliate you in

public and stand up for my little buddy.” Fannie was taken aback. She didn’t expect Dale to spill it right

away

She was even more puzzled about how Astrid got involved with a guy like Dale and even managed to

become good friends with him.

She didn’t actually want to break the contract with Starlight Entertainment. She sent Paula to Carson,

thinking she had some clout and hoping Elio would try to keep her.

But who would’ve thought that she’d manage to screw up her own future. The more she thought about

it, the more it hurt

Staying here would only make her a laughingstock Fannie bit her lip, hung her head, and quickly left

the set.

Her resentment towards Astrid grew even deeper

Selena was shocked when she heard the news, it was just too unbelievable.

Turns out what Astrid said while putting on makeup was true

With the big shot Dale backing her up. Astrid’s future popularity is practically guaranteed!

Ignoring the curious glances from everyone, Dale strolled over and grabbed the nuts from her hand,

“you wouldn’t sign up no matter how much I begged you before. Why do you suddenly change your

mind?” Astrid clapped her hands, “I wasn’t ready back then.”

“Then why didn’t you look for me when you came back home half a year ago?” As Dale spoke, he

turned to Selena and whispered, “Can you leave us for a bit? We have something to discuss.”

Upon hearing this, Selena promptly left.

Astrid and Dale went into the dressing room together. Without beating around the bush, Dale asked,

‘Ace you upset? Is someone bothering you? I’ll take care of them!” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Astrid frowned, she didn’t want to beat about the bush either and said her piece, I came to you because

I’m out of options. I made a bet with my father and brother. If I can’t become the best actress in the

industry within two years, I’ll have to go home and take over the family business. I don’t want to lose.”

“You don’t want to inherit billions?” Dale was astonished, “Who on earth doesn’t like money? You’ve got

some sort of grudge with it? Your dad is the richest man in the country. If you inherit the fortune, you’ll

be the youngest female tycoon ever. Ask your dad if he still needs a son. If you don’t want it, I’ll take it!”

“You know I have no interest in taking over the family business, plus If I go home, I’ll have to fish with

my dad every day.” Astrid sounded disgruntled talking about it.

*Speaking of fishing, it cracks me up. I remember the first time I met you three and a half years ago,

when you were fishing on a yacht with Mr. Brooke. You looked miserable and helpless!” Dale couldn’t

stop laughing recalling the scene, ‘I even took a sneaky photo of you then and set it as my

screensaver. Whenever I’m feeling down, I look at it and instantly feel better!!

“Dale, are you asking for a death wish? You think I won’t call my brother to give you a piece of his

mind?”

The mention of Robb Brooke instantly wiped the smile off Dale’s face. He raised his hands in surrender

“I’ll agree to anything as long as you don’t call your brother. But, are you sure you don’t want to go back

to the Brooke family just because you don’t want to inherit the business? It’s not because of that guy, is
