Chapter 354
Although Damian couldn’t stand Adrienne, he adored his son. When he heard his kiddo got hit, he was fuming.
Lately, he’s been binge–watching a reality show called Adventures in the Abyss, and he’s got a soft spot for Astrid on the show. He never saw it coming that she’d be the type to hit kids behind closed doors!
“Kid, don’t cry. Dad’s gonna get your justice.” Damian gently touched his son Larkin’s head, then pulled out his phone and left.
Adrienne couldn’t help but smirk watching Damian’s retreating figure.
Astrid, are you expecting an award?
What a joke.
An hour later, the stars were mostly seated.
Joana was obsessively eyeing Astrid’s direction, clutching her bag tightly.
Clyde’s relationship with Astrid had smoothed somewhat since the recording of Adventures in the Abyss.
Although they were not very good friends, they were still ordinary friends now.
Noticing Joana and Adrienne’s constant stares, Clyde leaned over to whisper to Astrid, “Why do Joana and Adrienne keep looking at you?”
I
“Looking at me?” Astrid arched an eyebrow, “Maybe they’re looking at you.”
Clyde was speechless.
Despite what Astrid said, she was still wary of Joana and Adrienne.
Joana had been getting a lot of criticism since the show aired recently, so she might be uncomfortable and maybe she would do something about it.
As for Adrienne she couldn’t stand Astrid.
The host of the award ceremony, Janice, was famous in the entertainment circle, and she controlled the pace of the ceremony very well. Although she was the only host, she was very calm.
She announced, “Before we start the awards, we have another performance.”
“Today, we have invited internationally renowned psychologist Jim. Let’s give a round of applause to welcome Jim.”
“Whoa! This…” Before Janice could finish, the stars and audience gasped at the big screen behind her.
She turned around and saw an image on the electronic billboard.
In the photo, Astrid and a tall man were arm in arm, entering a house.
The man’s face was in profile, not fully captured, but Astrid’s face was visible.
