Love in the Limelight Novel novel Chapter 130

Chapter 130

Catching Astrid’s stern look, Thomas immediately realized that he seemed to have made a big mistake, but it was too late to take it back.

Because the show was live.

“Sorry, teacher. I got carried away and forgot,” Thomas looked a bit pitiful.

Astrid shot him a glare, “Just go, I don’t need you anymore!”

“C’mon, teacher! Without me, would Fannie ever pay for her actions? My kneeling probably scared the bejesus out of Fannie!” Thomas was all tough on stage, but was totally humble in front of Astrid.

Seeing Astrid ignoring him, he whispered again, “teacher…”

Before Thomas could finish his sentence, he saw Elio walking towards him.

He immediately swallowed his words. Someone had tipped him off about the complicated relationship between Astrid and Elio, so he felt it might be inappropriate for him to be here.

He looked at Astrid, then at Elio, and suddenly felt like a third wheel!

“Teacher, I have some business to take care of, I’ll go first!” Thomas politely nodded to Elio, then quickly disappeared down the corridor.

“Ms, Irvine?” Elio smiled, “Can I invite you for dinner?”

“No.” Astrid shook her head, “Jon brought Colton Fortner back, they want me to take a look.”

Colton?

Elio’s expression turned cold.

“By the way, you have so much going on at your company, you don’t need to go out of your way to cheer me up.” Astrid took a few steps forward, turned back and said, “But I’m glad you could come today.”

Elio didn’t say much, he just asked, “Tell me, where did you get the kid from three and a half years ago?”

The man was on the verge of a breakdown, “I’ve said it many times, someone gave me the child. He gave me money and asked me to leave the child at a designated place. Then he arranged for me to be smuggled, gave me plastic surgery, and a fake identity.”

“I’ve told you everything I know, I swear! I can’t take it anymore, I can’t!”

Elio understood, the man in front of him was having a drug relapse.

He slowly pulled out a small bag of white powder from his pocket, saying coldly, “Tell the truth, and this is yours.”

“Tell me everything about the day you picked up the kid.”

“I’m telling the truth! It’s all true! All true!” The man’s eyes widened at the sight of the stuff, he struggled non–stop, “I’ve told you everything, I remember the child was carried out of a luxury car!”
