Chapter 210
A whole year had flown by, and she had pretty much forgotten all about it.
But then the cops showed up outta howhere; it threw Fannie for a loop. It took a while for it to click. That young actress was Teresa, the one who had been in the spotlight with Astrid! Just as the penny dropped, the cops were already grabbing her arm.
She blurted out, "I'm a celeb; can we use the underground garage? I don't wanna be caught on camera!"
The cop replied, "No, we can't; we've gotta do this by the book."
Fannie tried again, "Come on, can't you cut me some slack?"
The cop retorted, "I'm begging you; can you talk normal? You're giving me a headache."
Fannie was speechless.
Just then, Fannie's agent rushed in and assured her, "Fannie, don't sweat it. I'll get someone to help. Don't say anything you shouldn't." Fannie nodded, "Got it."
The news of Fannie being taken away by the cops created quite a buzz.
That day's trending list was mostly all about Fannie.
Fannie always wanted to trend, but she didn't see it coming this way.
Netizens were split in their opinions.
"Wow, did she piss off some big shots?"
"Is that arrest photo for real?"
"She must've been framed. Astrid is nothing but trouble. If she hadn't been a guest, none of this would've happened."
"I saw a bunch of tweets saying an actress was injured last year and it's all Fannie's fault. I remember that actress almost got paralyzed." "Dang, I'm shocked. It's clearly Fannie's fault, but people are defending her? She invited Astrid as a guest. Can't people in the comments see that?"
Just as Astrid stepped off the elevator, she saw two familiar figures not far away.
She tiptoed over, only to hear Jon complaining, "Colton, aren't you sober now? How can you suck so bad?!!" Colton replied, "I'm this bad when I'm sober; if I weren't, I'd probably be serving myself on a platter to our enemies." Jon glared at Colton, "You've got the nerve to act cocky with those skills?"
He loudly grumbled, "Where's Astrid? If she doesn't show up soon, I might die from frustration because of Colton."
Astrid walked over, lightly patting Jon's shoulder, "What are you guys doing?"
Jon turned to her and asked, "Finally, you're here. What's the update? Is it all sorted?" Jon almost tripped over as he stood up because his foot was numb from sitting too long. Lucky for him, Colton was there to catch him.
Ungrateful, Jon shrugged off Colton's hand, "We were worried that Fannie might send some goons or something after you. That's why we're here on guard duty. If push comes to shove, we'll even throw down for you."
Colton nodded along, "Yeah, throw down."
"Throw down?" Astrid couldn't help but laugh, "Jon, if you get into a fight, you might get suspended."
Jon shrugged nonchalantly, slinging his arm over Astrid's shoulder, "Even if I get suspended for protecting my sister, it's worth it! Nothing is more important than you!"
