Astrid sat nearby, the incredulity of the situation growing within her. Unable to control herself, she burst out, "Hey, stop making it seem like I'm always bullying you."
Elio responded, "No, no, I'm always a willing victim."
The reporter was taken aback, and Astrid gritted her teeth, "Elio Lampard!"
Elio immediately straightened up, "Alright, I'm done."
The reporter attempted to steer the conversation, "Well... Astrid, your performance in 'Adventures in the Abyss' was quite impressive. I've seen many directors and producers offering jobs to you. Are you planning on focusing more on acting or film making in the future?"
Astrid: "My goal is to win an Oscar, so I'm definitely focusing on the film industry. I appreciate the attention I've received from directors and producers, and I hope to have the opportunity to work with them in the future."
Reporter asked, "There have been rumors that some fans have stopped following you since you've had a child. What are your thoughts on this?"
Astrid replied, "It's their choice, and I can't interfere. But I don't see anything wrong with having a child at a young age, nor do I think my child will impact my career."
Reporter continued, "Family reality shows are very popular these days. Do you have any plans to join one with your husband and baby?"
"Husband? I don't have a husband." Astrid glanced at Elio with a look of distaste, "If there's a show about mothers and babies, I might consider it. As for anything else, I'm not interested."
Elio was upset, but he kept a cool facade.
Gracie was outside, waiting for Astrid while playing a game. As soon as she finished, she saw the door open. She quickly walked over, but before she could enter the room, the reporter and staff hurriedly left as if something serious had happened.
