Chapter 439


    Despite multiple reassurances, Astrid still seemed a bit worried, so she offered, "Gracie, how about I go


    with you? I''ve had some training, I can protect you."


    Upon hearing this, Gracie shook her head vehemently, "No way, you''re so gorgeous, standing next to


    me, I''ll look in. Please don''t steal my thunder. Don''t worry, it''s no biggie."


    Gracie was adamant about going alone, so Astrid had toply.


    After dropping Gracie off at the restaurant, Astrid went back home.


    The party was just starting to be broadcasted at 8 o''clock.


    Astrid was ying mobile games while watching TV. While gaming, her phone received several


    messages that covered her game screen.


    She was busy ying the game and didn''t really look at the messages.


    After the game was over, shezily opened the messages.


    As she had expected, it was a message from Fannie.


    In the message, Fannie said, "Astrid, I think there are many misunderstandings between us, we need


    to talk."


    Astrid said, "I don''t think there''s anything to talk about between us."


    Secondster, another message appeared on the screen.


    "Indeed, there''s nothing to chat about between us. But have you forgotten that you once had a child?


    This could be a major scandal in your star career. If I expose this to the public, do you think you


    can still stay in the entertainment industry smoothly?"


    You indeed have some dirt on me, but I''m not afraid to get my reputation even dirtier at this point. If you


    don''t agree to my terms, I''ll drag you down with me, even if I die, I''ll take you down with me."

    Looking at Fannie''s threatening message, a sneer appeared at the corner of Astrid''s mouth.


    Shezily leaned back on the sofa and replied, "Fannie, you said I had a child, what evidence do you


    have? Just your word? Would anyone believe the words of a notorious liar like you?"


    Fannie was eating when the message arrived. Looking at Astrid''s message, she was so angry that she


    threw her phone to the ground.


    Pa looked at her and quickly said, "Don''t panic, Fannie."


    "How can I not be anxious? Pa, everything was ruined by Astrid!" Fannie was almost hoarse, "If it


    weren''t for Astrid, I would still be a beloved top actress!"


    "You''re so ipetent. If you were a top manager like Dale, would I be in this situation?"


    These words hit Pa like a dagger.


    Pa looked at Fannie with a pale face. She had never imagined that Fannie would say such hurtful


    words.


    He was a well-known overachiever in school, rmended to Riverbank College without even taking


    the college entrance exam. He could have had a brighter future, but for Fannie, he went against his


    family''s wishes and chose to be a manager.


    He gave up everything for her, only to be called ''ipetent''?


    The silence in the room was chilling, and Fannie realized she might have said something wrong. She


    turned to look at Pa, bit her lip lightly, and said, "Pa, I was just too angry, I didn''t mean that."


    She reached out to touch Pa, but he stepped back.


    His eyes were filled with loneliness and pain, something Fannie had never seen before.
