Love in the Limelight novel Chapter 469

At that moment, Jay and Astrid found themselves facing a man in the hospital who seemed a world apart from the one they knew. His eyes radiated a piercing light, and a palpable aura of ruthlessness surrounded him.

Of course, Jay was only masquerading in front of the old folks. In front of her and Elio, he was too disdainful to bother with pretenses.

Jay said, "Astrid, what have you done to my son?"

Astrid shrugged her slender shoulders, "What could a weak woman like me possibly do to your son?"

"Tell your men to back off. There are more people living here than just me. Don't disrupt the peace."

The brawl finally came to a halt, and Jay looked at the icy glint in Elio's eyes, "Elio, you're willing to risk the corporation just for a woman. Are you fit to be the CEO of Morgenster Corporation? The sooner you step down, the fewer unnecessary sacrifices there will be."

His words were rather unpleasant to the ear.

Before Elio could respond, Astrid simply laughed, "Jay, I’ve been reading the stars, and they tell me you’re heading for some serious trouble!"

Jay said, "Astrid, don't push your luck! Do you really believe I wouldn't take you out right now?"

"Oh? Take me out? I'd love to see what you can do," Astrid retorted, swiftly pulling a heavy machine gun from the doorway!

With a swift pull, the gun was loaded! The crowd in the hallway gasped in horror, and even Jay's complexion changed, "Don't be scared, it's just a prop!"

"A prop? Sir, that's definitely not a prop. I've served in the military, I know a real gun when I see one. And her grip is professional," someone whispered into Jay's ear.

A real gun? Jay was slightly shaken.

Astrid whistled, "Jay, what was that you were saying? You're going to take me out?"
