Chapter 224


    Astrid frowned but didn’t move.


    Ca was suddenly shoved aside by the man who’d just walked in and hit the wall hard. “Why the rush


    to leave, prettydy? Can’t we just chat?” He said. The man closed and locked the door behind him. He


    had a wicked smile on his face as he turned to look at Astrid.


    Astrid recognized him. He was Lambert, a seasoned TV host who had been in the industry for over a


    decade. His humorous hosting style and solid professional skills had earned him countless fans.


    But what Astrid hadn’t expected was that behind the humorous and charming persona on TV, he was


    actually this kind of person.


    Judging by Ca’s reaction, she must’ve known what kind of person Lambert was, which was why she


    had told her to run.


    But there was only one door in this makeup room. Where could she run to?


    And besides, she had no intention of running away.


    As Lambert advanced step by step, Ca quickly moved to stand in front of Astrid.


    Even though she was scared, she resolutely shielded Astrid behind her.


    “Sir, Ms. Irvine is one of Dale’s artists. Are you not afraid of angering him? And she is currently being


    heavily promoted by Starlight Entertainment. If you do this, Starlight Entertainment will cut ties with our


    station!”


    “This is not your ce to speak!” Lambert said. He roughly grabbed Ca’s arm and shoved her aside.


    “I call the shots here. Who do you think will believe her if she goes out and uses me of improper


    advances?”


    Indeed, with Lambert’s poprity, if Astrid went out and used Lambert of making inappropriate


    advances towards her in the makeup room, no one would believe her. Instead, she’d be subjected to a


    torrent of abuse..


    After all, Lambert’s image as a good man, a good father, and a good senior was deeply ingrained in


    people’s minds. No one would believe that he could do such a thing.


    “Hahaha…” Lambertughed without restraint. “Let’s be straight. If you don’t make me happy today, I’ll


    make sure the entire station cklists you.” “cklist me?” Astrid sat leisurely in the chair, crossing her


    legs. “On what grounds?”


    Ca was shocked by Astrid’s domineering attitude. She leaned in and whispered in Astrid’s ear, “Ms.


    Irvine, he’s good friends with Fannie. Many people say you’re the one who screwed Fannie over. I’m


    afraid he won’t let you off the hook today. Better keep a low profile. I’ll stall him while you run; don’t


    suffer for no reason.”


    Astrid didn’t expect this girl she’d just met to help her out like this. She patted Ca on the shoulder


    and smiled contentedly. “Don’t be scared; I’ll be fine!” “You, get out! Don’t interfere with my business! If


    I hear any rumors when I get out, you know the consequences!” Lambert reached out to grab Ca, but


    Astrid suddenly stood up and twisted his arm hard!


    With a crisp “crack“, Ca felt a chill run down her spine.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    “Ah!” Lambert cried out in pain and his face twisted in agony. “My hand, my hand… Call an ambnce,


    call an ambnce…”


    Lambert tried to reach for his phone with his other hand, but Astrid snatched it away.


    Astrid looked at Lambert with a nk expression and her arms crossed in front of her chest, despising


    him. “You’ve used these tactics to bully countless neers, haven’t you? How can you be so


    despicable?”


    “You, how dare you talk to me like that?” Lambert had a widework of connections and held a high


    position in the station, so many young actors who were unfairly treated dared not speak up, and those


    who wanted to fight back were silenced by his money.


    He had always been attracted to Astrid’s beauty, but thest time Astrid came to the station, Dale was


    there, so he didn’t make a move.


    But this time, once he saw that Astrid was alone In the makeup room, he decided to pursue his ulterior


    motives.
