Love in the Limelight novel Chapter 504

“You got any clue who our boss is? Scoot over, or you're gonna bite off more than you can chew! Don't think we're scared just because you get numbers. We get backup around the corner!”

The threats coming out of these killers lost all their bite, sounding almost comical instead.

Astrid gave a playful slap on the backs of Parrish and Naylor, who were shielding her. “Heh, step aside boys, let me handle this.”

Parrish and Naylor shuffled to the side, and Astrid strutted forward two paces.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Astrid was at a loss for words.

The words were crisp and forceful, startling the evening birds perched in the trees into flight.

The killers were shaking in their boots.

Parrish cocked his head, “Astar, you’ve got some serious clout. Where did Mr. Lampard pick up these skills? Care to give me a few pointers?"”

“Stop talking nonsense,” Astrid chuckled as she glanced at the cowering killers and sauntered over, extending her hand to one of them, “Hand it over.”

The killers, already cowed by the imposing bodyguards, whimpered, “Hand over... what?”

Astrid replied, “Your phone.”

The killers hesitated.

The bodyguards roared in unison, “The phone!”

“Alright, here’s the phone,” the killers muttered, despairing. They had scoped the place earlier, and Astrid and Elio had no bodyguards with them, which allowed them to blend in easily.
