Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)

Chapter 245

The wind from the helicopter was so strong that Carson, standing next to Elio, could barely keep his eyes open.

Squinting at his boss, he was worried that Elio would blow his top because of Brandon's antics.

Elio looked up at the helicopter hovering in the sky and then at his drone, which was being battered by the wind and was obviously not in a good mood.

If it had been anyone else, they probably would have lost their cool by now.

But when he thought about the fact that the people on the helicopter belonged to the Brooke family, he forced himself to chill out.

Astrid was their little princess, and knowing that he was the one who had hurt her in the past, they would definitely be pissed.

If he didn't know any better at this point, the Brooke family might come after him with guns blazing.

"Call all the drones back; we're leaving." Elio said, and everyone besides Carson looked confused.

Seeing Elio leave, a man quickly ran over to Carson and asked in confusion, "What the hell? That young lad was so cocky; how could our boss stand it?"

"There's no other way; that's the boss's brother-in-law! You guys should have some emotional intelligence!" Carson shot them a disgruntled look and then quickly caught up with Elio.

The boss's brother-in-law?

Everyone on the rooftop was puzzled. Brandon, peering down through binoculars, waited until Elio left and all the drones were gone before he said into the walkie-talkie, "Everyone, prepare to return." The pilot answered. "Roger."

As the helicopter returned and landed, Brandon was the first to brag about his victory in the group chat, "I caught Elio at Astrid's event today, and I sent him packing." Robb, "Nice."

Rickon, "I agree."

After the event, Astrid didn't join the dinner but went with Dale to meet a producer.

In the car, she looked at the group chat and laughed without saying a word.

They still didn't consider her feelings at all.

Seeing her downcast, Dale turned to her and asked softly, "Do you hate him?"

Hate?

Astrid's hand, which was playing a game, paused slightly, but she didn't say anything.

She was resentful, but she didn't hate him.

Dale sighed, "But he asked for it. I'm curious, who was the one who wanted to harm you when you were pregnant? Sandra Irvine or the Santos family?"

"I don't know." Astrid looked up listlessly, "Sandra wanted to kick me out of the house, so as soon as she found out I was pregnant, she made me leave. Since I had already left, there was no need for her to harm the child in my belly."

"As for Fannie, she didn't know whose child I was carrying. She had already signed with Starlight Entertainment. If she harmed me and it got found out, it would be like she was sabotaging her own career. So I don't think she could be the one behind it."

"Uh..." Dale frowned, "So all those accidents were really just accidents?"

Astrid shook her head, "It can't be a coincidence. Once, someone threw something from a high place and it landed right next to my feet. There were several times when someone tried to hit me when I was crossing the street. Even when I went to the market, people would bump into my belly more than once."
