Chapter 88

She sat up, feeling a bit irritable, then heard Gracie’s loud call, “Astrid, Astrid, get up already!”

Astrid rubbed her eyes and went to open the door. As soon as she opened it, Gracie rushed in, “Hurry

up, pack up; we need to go, or we’ll be late!”

“Late for what? I have no plans today!” Astrid rubbed her eyes and climbed back into bed, but before

she could lay down, Gracie pulled her up again.

Gracie was a bit dissatisfied to see Astrid like this, “There’s a charity gala tonight; we still have to get

our hair and makeup done; if we’re late, it’s not going to be good. You should know there are a lot of

important people at this charity gala; it’s good to meet some influential people.”

“Oh.” Gracie pushed Astrid into the bathroom and she was so sleepy that she started dozing off on the

bathroom counter.

Gracie, who was standing at the door,/saw her drowsy look, walked over, turned on the faucet, filled a

cup with water, and was about to splash it on Astrid’s face.

Seeing this, Astrid immediately woke up, “Gracie, there’s no need!”

Gracie gave her a stern look, “You have five minutes.”

“Okay, okay.” Astrid pushed Gracie out of the bathroom and started to wash up obediently.

Meanwhile, at Sunhaven, Elio had just finished a meeting, and Carson came over and whispered,

“Chief, are you going to the charity gala tonight?”

“No.” Elio immediately refused, without any hesitation.

Carson was silent for a moment, then asked again, “Ms. Irvine is also going; aren’t you going? And it

seems that Mr. Willie knows Ms. Irvine. When I was looking up information on Ms. Irvine, I found

pictures of them together.”

Pictures?

Elio paused, “Reserve the spot next to her for me.”

Carson held back a laugh, “Alright, Chief.”

Half an hour later, Astrid drove back to Sunhaven,

She would have been on time, but due to traffic, she arrived after the red carpet event had finished.

The staff didn’t recognize her, so they rudely asked, “Invitation?”

“Here here.” Gracie quickly handed over the invitation.

The man glanced at the invitation and then let her in.

Gracie couldn’t enter the venue, so Astrid looked at the seat number on the invitation and went over

alone.

As soon as she entered, she saw Fannie and a group of actresses chatting not far away.

Seeing her walk over, Fannie looked in her direction. The actresses, noticing Fannie’s gaze, also

turned to look.

Actress Leah glanced at Astrid and asked Fannie, “You know her?”

“Mhm, we went to high school together.” Fannie smiled, “We used to be good friends, but then she

started dating a rich guy and stopped hanging out with me.”

Hearing this, Leah and the others burst into laughter.

Fannie added, “She just signed with Starlight Entertainment; Dale paid a lot of penalty fees to help her

break her contract with Vista Visual. We better not mess with her; after all, with Dale backing her up,

we can’t afford to provoke her.”

Astrid had already walked up to them. Leah strode over, speaking in a not-so-friendly tone, “Our charity

gala’s standards are really dropping. Now anyone can get in.”

Astrid turned to look at the woman in front of her and scoffed, “Yeah, I’m also surprised. A star who’s

known for betraying her partners is also here. Are you trying to clean up your image by doing charity?”

Leah didn’t expect Astrid to accuse her. Her face turned pale, then green, and she was quite

embarrassed, “Look at yourself; your clothes, shoes, and accessories all add up to just a few thousand,

right? You look poor. Are you going to be able to donate later?”

“My goodness, is this a knockoff of Summer’s? I’m dying of laughter; you actually wore a knockoff to a

charity gala!”

“If you don’t have money, don’t pretend to be rich!”

“Oh my god, this is really a knockoff, right? I’m very familiar with Summer’s haute couture dresses;

there’s no such model as what she’s wearing!”

“You must really have no shame…”

Astrid frowned, “I’m not wearing any knock-offs.”
