Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)

Chapter 306

Astrid was flabbergasted for a moment and immediately understood. Bernice was probably apologizing

for everything Hawthorne had done.

“Bernice, we all know it’s Hawthorne who screwed up. He’s the one who should be saying sorry, not

you.” Astrid didn’t know Bernice that well. They’d only met a few times.

She didn’t want to say anything more.

“Um…” Bernice took a deep breath, “Star, to be honest, Hawthorne is just too into you. That’s why he

did what he did.”

O

‘Bernice, since you’re okay now, I’m leaving.” Astrid knew Bernice was here to bat for Hawthorne, but

she couldn’t forget what Hawthorne did. “Star, don’t go, don’t go.” Bernice suddenly sat up. She quickly

got up and grabbed Astrid. There was a sound, and a plastic bottle fell to the ground. Seeing that thing This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

roll away, a flicker of panic crossed Bernice’s face. She wanted to pick it up, but Astrid picked up the

bottle first!

Astrid noticed that Bernice looked a bit off. She found that there was something wrong with the plastic

bottle!

She gently opened the bottle cap, took a sniff, then her eyes turned icy. “Bernice, why on earth would

you poison yourself?”

When things came to light, Bernice was a little embarrassed. “I’m sorry, Star, but if I didn’t do this, you

wouldn’t even see me! Your dad knows about what Hawthorne did and now he wants to cut ties with

the Cliff family. Hawthorne’s been at home not eating or drinking, he’s dying!”

“After all, he’s also my relative. I can’t just watch him die like this, so I came up with this plan to get

close to you.”

“Star, can you forgive him?”

Astrid looked at the woman in front of her, bit her lip softly, and said nothing.

Bernice was a legend in the 1990s. All these years later, she’s still a stunner in her forties.

To her fans, she was a goddess, a princess.

Two years ago, Bernice visited her house. She rolled up her pants like any ordinary person to catch fish

and shrimp in the river. After dinner, she even insisted on doing the dishes, completely disregarding her

status.

People said Bernice had been hurt by a man before, so she never married.

It was said that Bernice had a son, but nobody knew who he was.

Astrid used to believe that Bernice was an angel, but after seeing what Bernice did today, she started

to have doubts.

This woman wasn’t as gentle and kind as she appeared on the outside.

In order to get close to her, she even poisoned herself. Bernice was just like Hawthorne, willing to do

anything to achieve her goals.

Astrid sighed helplessly. Looking up, Bernice had already started crying. “Star, can’t you save

Hawthorne? If you don’t forgive him, he’s going to die!” “I’m here apologizing to you. Can’t you just give

him a call, chat with him for a bit? You can yell at him, he will eat just by hearing your voice.” “He’s sick.

If he doesn’t start eating, it’s going to be life–threatening.”

“Enough.” Astrid cut Bernice off. Her voice was cold. “Bernice, all of this is just a facade. As his family

member, don’t you know what kind of person he is? Don’t you understand what’s going on with his

illness?”
