Chapter 522


    "It must be your jinx! In the entertainment industry, such stuff is nearlymonce. A little voodoo


    doll mischief is hardly earth-shattering," snorted Karin, "And the fans all rave about Astar being so cool


    and gorgeous. Who would have guessed that you''re just a green-eyed monster behind it all?"


    A green-eyed monster? Her, Astrid?


    "Bwahaha!" Astrid couldn''t contain herughter. "Sorry, I didn''t expect you toe up with such a far-


    fetched story, Karin. Aren''t you embarrassed?"


    "You''re wasting your talent in the music industry. You should be writing scripts, seriously."


    Karin couldn''t fathom why Astrid was stillughing and retorted with a stern face, "You obviously have it


    out for me. Why else would you give me that wooden sculpture? It''s because you''ve been bitten by a


    venomous snake, and you''re trying to pass the poison on to me!"


    The online crowd gasped at Karin''s words. [Damn, that kinda makes sense. No one saw Astrid carving


    that sculpture from start to finish!]


    [That carving was too professional-looking. It couldn''t have been done with just a switchde. I raised


    a question about it before and got hounded by her fans!]


    [Jeez, I''m getting chills! Astrid smeared her blood,ced with poison, onto the sculpture, and now


    Karin''s been poisoned by a splinter! What a diabolical n!]


    [Let''s not jump to conclusions and spread rumors, folks!]


    [So Karin''s poisoned now?]


    [We stand with Astar. We''ve been watching her streams forever, and she never starts anything with


    anyone. If she''s targeting someone, it must be because they provoked her first!]


    [There''s always a reason to dislike someone. I''ve been saying from the start that something''s off with


    Karin. Some called me a hater, but I stick to there''s definitely something fishy about her!]


    While the inte was aze with spection, Astrid just smiled.


    Karin was clever, alright. She poisoned discretely, leaving no trace, so no one would believe Astrid if


    she pointed fingers.


    So instead, she spun a tale that it was jealousy over Karin''s rtionship with Elio that drove Astrid to


    spread the poison.


    A clever diversion, indeed.


    At first, Astrid didn''t know how Karin had managed to poison them, but then one little slip-up from Karin


    gave it all away.


    Astrid looked at Karin with a smirk curling her lips, "My sculpture was hand-carved by me, and you''re


    right about one thing. I gave it to you to pass on the poison. But why would I do that? It''s because you


    poisoned me and Elio first. If we wanted the antidote, we''d have to make sure you were in the same


    boat."


    The online spectators were stunned. [Karin poisoned Astar and Elio?]


    [Astrid''s gotta be talking nonsense. I''ve been watching the stream non-stop. When did Karin ever


    poison them?]


    [Poison? No way. I was up all night on shift, bored out of my mind, watching the live stream on my


    phone. I didn''t see any poisoning happening!]


    [But Karin''s excuse is so oundish it hurts. Even a random onlooker like me finds this spielpletely


    ludicrous!]


    [This is freaking me out, so when did Karin poison them?]


    Confident in her covert methods, Karin challenged Astrid with a prideful sneer, "Stop slinging mud.


    When did I ever poison you? We''ve hardly been in close contact from the get-go. If you''re going to


    frame me, at leaste up with a believable story, will you?"

    Astrid watched Karin''s self-assured demeanor and raised an eyebrow slightly, "Someone else might


    not have caught on to your little poison ploy, but you''re dealing with me. Against me, you''re just another


    tragedy in the making."
