Love in the Limelight novel Chapter 467

"Care for some coffee?" Johnnie washed his hands, sauntered over to Astrid and poured her a cup of coffee, gently pushing the mug towards her. "You're even more beautiful in person than on TV. Truly breathtaking."

Astrid’s mouth twitched into a smirk, “Thank you for the compliment, but you, Mr. Lampard, seem quite different from the rumors.”

“Just call me Johnnie, Mr. Lampard seems too formal. Besides, it’s only you and me here, no need for pretenses.” As he spoke, he boldly reached out to grasp Astrid's hand.

Sensing his intention, Astrid’s eyes darkened. She swiftly picked up her piping hot coffee and splashed it onto his hand!

Caught off guard, Johnnie recoiled, a flash of fury briefly crossing his eyes, but was swiftly concealed. “Oh, so you like playing hard to get? I’ve seen plenty of women like you, acting all high and mighty, but deep down you’re no different! If you leave Elio for me, I promise you’ll be a big star within a year. All the top resources in the entertainment industry will be at your disposal!” His words were obnoxious. Astrid couldn't stand it for a second and stood up immediately!

Seeing her rise, a glimpse of disdain flashed in Johnnie's eyes. He had thought of Astrid as a unique woman, but the moment she heard about the resources he could provide, she was ready to fall into his arms?

Johnnie chuckled lightly, also standing up and opening his arms towards Astrid.

Astrid slowly approached him, a radiant smile on her face. But in the next second, she suddenly kicked him between his legs!

Johnnie couldn’t dodge in time and was directly kicked by Astrid, wincing in pain and collapsing to the floor, stuttering, “You, you, you...you...”

“I have all the resources I need. I can become a big star without you! What the hell are you? Lurking outside my son’s kindergarten? What were you planning?” Astrid spoke, lifting her foot to give Johnnie another kick! Johnnie was utterly stunned. He never expected Astrid to be so bold, daring to attack him on his own turf!

“Astrid, don’t push your luck!” Johnnie, being frail since childhood, had little strength. The kick to his privates had taken him off guard, and another kick from Astrid made him feel as if he was falling apart.

“You're the one pushing your luck, aren't you?” Astrid grabbed Johnnie's hair and slapped him twice, “This is for Lucas. You and your father are so alike, always presenting one face to the world and another behind closed doors. No wonder Elio finds you disgusting. Let me tell you, if my son so much as loses a hair, I’ll take one of Jay's arms! If my son gets hurt, I’ll drain Jay's blood!”

Johnnie struggled violently, causing Astrid to let go of his hair.

She looked at her hands that had just grabbed Johnnie's hair, grimaced and sat on the coffee table with her legs crossed, her gaze cool and intimidating.

The thought of his recent ordeal made Johnnie tremble with rage, “Astrid, you’ll regret everything you did today!”

“No, you will regret it. Regret that you met me today.” Astrid finished her sentence and walked out without haste, even leisurely washing her hands in the restroom, never showing a hint of panic.
