Love in the Limelight Novel

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 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?”
