Love in the Limelight novel Chapter 406

Chapter 406

“Even though we, the Brooke family, have some pull, we can’t control the power of public opinion. We didn’t want her to get hurt, that’s why we had her sign that bet agreement. We hoped she’d choose to step away from the entertainment industry on her own.”

“But I had no idea she was so determined. She has zero intention of leaving the entertainment industry.”

“Over the past 18 years, she’s gone through too much suffering. All we wanted was for her to have a happy life, but some things are ultimately out of our control‘

“We’re torn, really. On one hand, we hope she’d lose the bet and come back home. On the other, we hate seeing her suffer when she can’t chase her dreams”

It was rare for Robb to say so much. Dale, listening next to him, was taken aback.

He had noticed a long time ago that the Brooke men weren’t indifferent to Astrid Irvine.

While they say they hope Astrid would lose the bet soon, whenever she’s in a pickle, they’re always ready to lend a hand.

“Astrid will understand your dilemma. We all know how messy the showbiz is, but don’t underestimate her. Your sister isn’t ordinary person. Give her some time, she’ll shine like a star.”

“Besides, don’t you know your own sister? Who can hurt her without getting a scratch themselves? Anyone who messes with her will have hell to pay.”

With that said, Dale picked up his phone to call Maddox.

On the island.

Maddox, neck–deep in the escalating public opinion, picked up Dale’s call immediately.

He asked anxiously, “Dale, what do we do? We can’t suppress the public opinion anymore.”

Dale: “Actually, it’s simple. Just tell her what’s happening online and let her handle it. This way, the issue gets resolved, and your show will be the talk of the town.”

“Let her handle it? On live broadcast?” Maddox almost reached his breaking point, “Are you joking? You know Astrid doesn’t play by the book, What if she makes a mess we can’t clean up?”
