Love in the Limelight novel Chapter 306

Chapter 306

Astrid was flabbergasted for a moment and immediately understood. Bernice was probably apologizing for everything Hawthorne had done.

“Bernice, we all know it’s Hawthorne who screwed up. He’s the one who should be saying sorry, not you.” Astrid didn’t know Bernice that well. They’d only met a few times.

She didn’t want to say anything more.

“Um…” Bernice took a deep breath, “Star, to be honest, Hawthorne is just too into you. That’s why he did what he did.”

O

‘Bernice, since you’re okay now, I’m leaving.” Astrid knew Bernice was here to bat for Hawthorne, but she couldn’t forget what Hawthorne did. “Star, don’t go, don’t go.” Bernice suddenly sat up. She quickly got up and grabbed Astrid. There was a sound, and a plastic bottle fell to the ground. Seeing that thing roll away, a flicker of panic crossed Bernice’s face. She wanted to pick it up, but Astrid picked up the bottle first!

Astrid noticed that Bernice looked a bit off. She found that there was something wrong with the plastic bottle!

She gently opened the bottle cap, took a sniff, then her eyes turned icy. “Bernice, why on earth would you poison yourself?”

When things came to light, Bernice was a little embarrassed. “I’m sorry, Star, but if I didn’t do this, you wouldn’t even see me! Your dad knows about what Hawthorne did and now he wants to cut ties with the Cliff family. Hawthorne’s been at home not eating or drinking, he’s dying!”

“After all, he’s also my relative. I can’t just watch him die like this, so I came up with this plan to get close to you.”
