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 plain. Please don't steal my thunder. Don't worry, it's no biggie."
Gracie was adamant about going alone, so Astrid had to comply.
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 playing mobile games while watching TV. While gaming, her phone received several messages that covered her game screen.
She was busy playing the game and didn't really look at the messages.
After the game was over, she lazily 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."
Seconds later, 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 become 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."
