Chapter 323


    Without even ncing at Elio, Astrid threw out, “I’m currently single and not married yet.”


    At Astrid’s words, all eyes turned to Elio.


    Elio didn’t want to upset Astrid, so he chose to keep silent. He still had many opportunities in this


    wilderness survival show, and he didn’t need to piss off anyone for now. The host turned to look at


    ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    Astrid A faint smile hung on her face, revealing nothing about her mood.


    But the host found her gaze somewhat intimidating.


    She dared not continue the topic, and turned to Joana, “Joana, you’re the little princess in the hearts of


    your fans. Why did you decide to join our show this time?” Joana replied, “Because I’ve always loved


    adventure. I’m thrilled to go traveling with Naylor.”


    “Traveling?” Naylor suddenly spoke from the side, “Is Joana misunderstanding the nature of this


    show?”


    “It’s pretty much the same thing.” Joana gave an awkwardugh. The first season of the show was very


    sessful, and the then–questioned female star Madeline was acknowledged for her performance on


    the show.


    Joana had previously offended Gaines, leading to fewer resources.


    Emily had to pull a lot of strings to secure this chance for, Joana, and she couldn’t afford to mess up


    this time.


    The more you speak, the more you risk going wrong. So she decided to keep her mouth shut this time!


    The press conference ended at over nine in the evening. The moment Astrid stepped down from the


    stage, she prepared to leave. But before she reached the door, the show’s executive director, Maddox,


    rushed up to block her way. “Ms. Irvine, sorry to bother you. I know you are busy, but could you stay for


    dinner with us tonight?”


    Upon hearing Maddox being so polite to Astrid, Joana and others who followed Maddox out felt a bit


    disgruntled.


    After all, Astrid was the least famous among them, but Maddox was a renowned reality show director


    domestically. Why should he be so respectful to Astrid?


    Astrid paused, looked at the young man in front of her, and politely declined, “Mr. Maddox, you know


    I’m currently filming. I squeezed time for this press conference, and now I need to rush back. I have a


    full day of shooting tomorrow. I’m sorry. We can have a meal together when there’s another chance.”


    She wanted to meet Roman, but Roman was taken to Hawaii for a vacation by Amanda Lampard.


    So, all she wanted now was to get back to the set as fast as she could and to film.


    “Astrid, since Mr. Maddox invited you, wouldn’t it be a bit disrespectful if you refuse?” Joana’s words


    were a bit sarcastic, and the faces of the other guests didn’t look too good either.


    Joana wanted to add fuel to the fire, and she saw Elioing back from a phone call, “Forget it, Astrid


    has Mr. Lampard’s protection, so she doesn’t care about respecting others.”


    Maddox was a bit annoyed at Joana’sments. He said to Joana, “What nonsense are you talking


    about? Does Astrid need someone to protect her? Which female star in the entertainment industry has


    her capabilities? Her poprity isn’t lower than any A–listers!”


    When her works are broadcast one after another, it will be hard for us to invite her onto the show.”


    “So Astrid, since you’re busy, go ahead: We’ll see you when we record the show.” Maddox had been in


    the entertainment industry for many years, and his judgment was usually spot–on.


    When Astrid’s magician identity was exposed, he predicted that this–girl would shine.


    When he announced her as a regr guest, many fans from the first season questioned Astrid’s fame,


    but what he wanted to say was Astrid was the treasure of this show. With the addition of Elio, this pair


    would surely make this season’s show more attention–grabbing.
