Chapter 122

Elio dropped a line and then took off from the villa.

Hawthorne watched Elio’s retreating back. When he snapped back to reality, he realized that his

fingernails had dug deep into his palm…

His white pants were stained with blood, which looked kinda creepy.

“What the heck, you’re bleeding!!!” Seeing his hand bleeding, the servant rushed over in a panic.

He waved his hand lightly, “Don’t fuss over me, I’m fine.”

He pressed the button on his wheelchair, went into the room and shut the door.

He went over to a pot of blue flowers, letting drops of blood from his palm fall onto the petals, a gentle

smile on his face.

Meanwhile, Elio finally caught up with Astrid who had left earlier, “Astrid.”

“Hmm?” Astrid turned her head, gave Elio a glance, and then with a curl of her lip, asked: “How do you

know Mr. Cliff?”

“We do business together,” After Elio finished speaking, he gave Astrid another look–over, “He didn’t

want to reveal who your dad is, can you tell me?” Hearing this, Astrid raised an eyebrow.

Elio had chased her all the way here. It was only a matter of time before he found out, so Astrid told

him the truth, “My dad is Magee Brooke.”

Elio fell silent. He had thought that Astrid might have a powerful background, but he didn’t expect her to

be the daughter of the richest man in this country, Magee…

His pursuit of her had already become tough enough because of her brothers, and now there was a

doting father to deal with. Suddenly, his future seemed rather bleak.

Astrid glanced at Elio and added, “You have to keep this a secret. If people find out about my identity,

producers, directors, actors, all of those people will try to curry favor with me, and then my acting

career wouldn’t be pure anymore. I just want to win the best actress award with my own abilities.”

“The most important thing is that I made a bet with my brothers. I have to win the best actress award

without using any resources from the Brooke…. family. If not, I’ll have to go home and take over the

family business and give up on my dream. So, I cannot lose, you must keep this a secret!”

“Alright, I promise.” Elio nodded, then tilted his head to look at her: “I have a question for you.”

Astrid: “Shoot.”

Elio: “How many children in your family?”

Astrid: “Eight.”

-Elio: “So you have eight siblings?”

“You could say that.” Astrid replied, “Eight brothers, actually.”

Elio choked.

Eight…brothers???

He suddenly felt a headache coming on.

Then he looked at the girl in front of him, Elio said softly: “Astrid, come with me somewhere.”

“Where? Why should I go with you?” Astrid yawned, “I haven’t had enough sleep yet, I’m going back to

sleep.”

Elio: “…”

Elio sighed heavily: “You’re really irresponsible. I just promised to keep a big secret for you, and you

suddenly became cold to me, unwilling to accompany me somewhere. If I’m in a bad mood, I might say

something I shouldn’t, and maybe one day I’ll accidentally leak that Ms. Irvine is the daughter of the

richest man.”

“Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense. I’ll go with you.” Astrid shot Elio an annoyed look. Who was the

one who suddenly became cold?
