Chapter 355


    “Would you stop being so grumpy?” Nathan eyed the stuff in Nash’s hands nervously, silently backing


    off to the staircase. “Don’t forget to lock yourb when you leave, just in case any of your chemicals


    leaks knocks Mom and Dad out cold!”


    Nash shot Nathan a re. “What do you mean ‘chemicals leaks‘? These are my precious experimental


    materials. And by the way, did you get your ne ticket yet?” Nathan said, “No. Edgar said they’re


    taking a cruise.”


    “So, they’re slow and you decided to be slow too? How long will it take for the cruise to get to the


    destination? By the time you get there, Robb would’ve sorted everything out. Would there be anything


    left for us?” Nash grumbled, grabbing his phone to book a flight.


    Watching Nash retreat to his room for a shower, Nathan shook his head. Only Star could make him put


    down his experiments.


    One by one, several brothers rushed to J City.


    Meanwhile, the award ceremony was still going on.


    The event was progressing smoothly, but there were whispers and pointing fingers in Astrid’s direction.


    Seeing this, Clyde quietly suggested, “You can get your agent to confirm if you’ve won anything. If not,


    you’d better duck out early, or you won’t be able to escape once the reporters swarm in.”


    Astrid was well aware she’d be cornered by the press soon, but she had no intention of letting those


    behind her scandal off the hook.


    Her phone buzzed with a message. She nced at it and turned to Clyde. “Thanks for the tip. I need to


    step out.”


    Watching Astrid leave, Clyde let out a sigh of relief.


    Secret rtionships weremon in showbiz, so Astrid having a boyfriend wasn’t an issue. But the


    public exposure of this photo means she must have been deliberately targeted.


    Her name was everywhere on social media, which is bound to stir up jealousy.


    He could only hope Elio could help Astrid ride out this storm. After filming a variety show together, his


    impression of Astrid greatly improved.


    She was like a walking encyclopedia, seemingly knowing everything, which was astonishing.


    As Astrid exited the event, a man in ck wearing a mask approached. “Astar, Chad sent me.”


    “Okay.” Astrid nodded. “You brought the stuff I asked for?”


    “Yes.” The man handed a chic Chanel handbag to Astrid. She opened it, checked the contents, and


    gave a satisfied nod. “Tell Chad to keep a close eye on the Lampard family. And send more people to


    protect Roman.”


    The man nodded. “Yes, Astar.”


    Watching him go, Astrid picked up her phone and texted Chad: “Let’s go.”


    Three secondster, she stepped out of the blind spot of the surveince camera. This corridor was


    now covered by the second floor’s surveince footage.


    She approached the control room, hearing faint voices inside.


    Pressing her ear to the door, she heard someone say, “Good job. The money will be in your ount


    shortly.”


    Laughter echoed from within. Astrid’s eyes narrowed slightly as she texted Chad: “Please hack into the


    control room’s surveince. I want to see who’s inside.” Chad replied: “Already on it. I’ve also captured


    the part where the person told others to expose your photo. I’ll upload it onler to clear your


    name.”


    A secondter, Chad sent over several photos and a screenshot.N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.
