Chapter 224
Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)
Chapter 224 Astrid frowned but didnât move.
Carla was suddenly shoved aside by the man whoâd just walked in and hit the wall hard. âWhy the rush to leave, pretty lady? Canât we just chat?â He said. The man closed and locked the door behind him. He had a wicked smile on his face as he turned to look at Astrid.
Astrid recognized him. He was Lambert, a seasoned TV host who had been in the industry for over a decade. His humorous hosting style and solid professional skills had earned him countless fans.
But what Astrid hadnât expected was that behind the humorous and charming persona on TV, he was actually this kind of person.
Judging by Carlaâs reaction, she mustâve known what kind of person Lambert was, which was why she had told her to run.
But there was only one door in this makeup room. Where could she run to?
And besides, she had no intention of running away.
As Lambert advanced step by step, Carla quickly moved to stand in front of Astrid.
Even though she was scared, she resolutely shielded Astrid behind her.
âSir, Ms. Irvine is one of Daleâs artists. Are you not afraid of angering him? And she is currently being heavily promoted by Starlight Entertainment. If you do this, Starlight Entertainment will cut ties with our station!â
âThis is not your place to speak!â Lambert said. He roughly grabbed Carlaâs arm and shoved her aside. âI call the shots here. Who do you think will believe her if she goes out and accuses me of improper advances?â
Indeed, with Lambertâs popularity, if Astrid went out and accused Lambert of making inappropriate advances towards her in the makeup room, no one would believe her. Instead, sheâd be subjected to a torrent of abuse..
After all, Lambertâs image as a good man, a good father, and a good senior was deeply ingrained in peopleâs minds. No one would believe that he could do such a thing.
âHahaha...â Lambert laughed without restraint. âLetâs be straight. If you donât make me happy today, Iâll make sure the entire station blacklists you.â
âBlacklist me?â Astrid sat leisurely in the chair, crossing her legs. âOn what grounds?â
Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)
ï¤Chapter 223 Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)
ï¤Chapter 801 Living Off Her Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary)
ï¤Chapter 4596 Carla was shocked by Astridâs domineering attitude. She leaned in and whispered in Astridâs ear, âMs. Irvine, heâs good friends with Fannie. Many people say youâre the one who screwed Fannie over. Iâm afraid he wonât let you off the hook today. Better keep a low profile. Iâll stall him while you run; donât suffer for no reason.â
Astrid didnât expect this girl sheâd just met to help her out like this. She patted Carla on the shoulder and smiled contentedly. âDonât be scared; Iâll be fine!â âYou, get out! Donât interfere with my business! If I hear any rumors when I get out, you know the consequences!â Lambert reached out to grab Carla, but Astrid suddenly stood up and twisted his arm hard!
With a crisp âcrackâ, Carla felt a chill run down her spine.
âAh!â Lambert cried out in pain and his face twisted in agony. âMy hand, my hand... Call an ambulance, call an ambulance...â
Lambert tried to reach for his phone with his other hand, but Astrid snatched it away.
Astrid looked at Lambert with a blank expression and her arms crossed in front of her chest, despising him. âYouâve used these tactics to bully countless newcomers, havenât you? How can you be so despicable?â
âYou, how dare you talk to me like that?â Lambert had a wide network of connections and held a high position in the station, so many young actors who were unfairly treated dared not speak up, and those who wanted to fight back were silenced by his money.
He had always been attracted to Astridâs beauty, but the last time Astrid came to the station, Dale was there, so he didnât make a move.
But this time, once he saw that Astrid was alone In the makeup room, he decided to pursue his ulterior motives.
