Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)

Chapter 414

In a live stream, Bernice caused quite a stir, and everyone was calling her out and telling her to leave

the show. She couldn't handle the pressure from all the public backlash, and ended up leaving that very

night. She even left all her stuff behind in the grotto.

#BernicePersonalityCrumbles# quickly became a trending topic on social media. Many people from all

over were throwing money to keep the topic down.

However, Chad and Hank wouldn't back down. If others were willing to pay for public opinion, they'd

outbid them. After all, their Chief was loaded.

So, the Bernice incident was all over social media, buzzing like a beehive. Until the next evening when

a new guest joined Adventures in the Abyss, the buzz started to die down.

But why was this new guest so popular? Because it was Palmer, the male lead from Endless Longing

and a TV drama starring Astrid. Palmer was already a well-known celebrity, and this was his first time

on a reality show. Plus, he and Astrid had just finished working on a drama together, so his addition to

the show instantly drew more attention than Bernice.

But Palmer wasn't one for gossip. On the show, he and Astrid kept it strictly professional, disappointing

the fans of their drama.

Palmer didn't exactly shine on the variety show. He barely spoke, and seemed like he could be easily

replaced. This had fans all worked up.

Comments read:

"Is Palmer serious? He's been on the island since yesterday and he hasn’t said more than ten

sentences!"

"He really doesn't fit in."

"Maybe he's intimidated by Elio's strong presence, so he doesn't dare to get close to Astar?"

"I noticed that too, feels like Palmer is scared of Elio!"

"Also, Palmer's reactions are really slow, so are his movements. He’s like a sloth!"

The comments section was filled with laughter, while Bernice, off-screen, looked cold as ice. She had

hoped to use this show to make a comeback in the entertainment industry and expand her fan base.

But instead, Astrid turned her into a laughingstock.

Now, the projects she had lined up were mostly cancelled, and many investors had started to distance

themselves from her.

Bernice was in a bathrobe. Holding a glass of wine, her lips were stained with the red drink. She looked

sultry.

She was totally a stark contrast to her public image.

Then, the doorbell rang. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Bernice put down her glass and went to answer the door.

She was surprised to see Hawthorne standing there, "Hawthorne, what are you doing here?"

It was snowing outside, and Hawthorne came in with a cold aura, looking displeased, "Why did you

make a decision on your own?"

"Hawthorne, don't be so angry. I did it for your own good." Bernice closed the door, brushed the snow

off Hawthorne, and looked worried, "Why didn't you rest at home if you're sick? Why did you come

here? I know what I'm doing. I won't let Star and Elio be together!"

Hawthorne shook off Bernice's hand with a disgusted look, "There's no chance for me and Star

anymore. I've been doing a lot of thinking, and I've made many mistakes. Now, I just hope me and her

can go back to being friends."

"Friends?" Bernice laughed sarcastically, "Hawthorne, you're a grown man. Don't be so naive. You love

her, so you must have her."

"That's enough!" Hawthorne retorted angrily, "It's because you've been feeding me this wrong idea

since I was young, so I ended up like this with Star! You also had the one you love, but look how that

turned out."
