Chapter 39
Emily swallowed hard in silence, regretting how she had previously mocked Astrid for having no fans.
The support Astrid’s fans showed was so strong. How many people in the country could enjoy such treatment?
No wonder Astrid was so confident before, even daring to lay a hand on her. She must have had a powerful backer supporting her.
“Emily, which rich guy do you think is backing her?” Joana asked, eyes full of envy as she watched the planes flying to and fro.
Emily glared at her to shut her up.
Joana mumbled a few words of discontent and lowered her head.
Astrid had her eyes closed, but she wasn’t really asleep. Hearing the whispering between the two, she opened her eyes and looked outside. Then she bolted upright.
She figured only Brandon would do something like this! She guessed that Brandon would support her, but she didn’t expect his support to be so ostentatious. Showing pictures on the big screen was one thing, but what the hell was up with the helicopter fleet!? This was way too attention–grabbing.
Astrid took out her phone, but before she had a chance to question him, Brandon had already sent her a WhatsApp message.
Brandon: “Star, look outside, that’s my way of cheering for you!”
Astrid was very displeased: “Brandon, have you lost your mind?”
Brandon: “No, aren’t you satisfied with this scale? If air traffic control allowed large planes, I’d come in one of those, and even stick your picture and name on the plane!”
Astrid: “Thanks, but no thanks! Get your damn planes out of here!”
Brandon: “What’s wrong with me supporting you? I haven’t revealed my identity, don’t worry. At most, people can only find out that I’m your crazy fan. Good thing I stopped him, or dad would have personally come to support you!”
Astrid: “…” She felt a headache coming on.
A few minutes later, the car stopped outside the press conference venue.
Joana and Emily looked at Astrid, not daring to get out first.
“Ms. Irvine, after you…” Emily changed her previous mocking attitude and was very respectful,”
Astrid raised an eyebrow, “The star of the show should go first.”
“Oh! Okay…” Joana stepped out of the car, dragging her dress. The media and fans immediately surrounded her.
“Joana, Joana, look this way!”
“Smile, look at the camera!”
“You’re so beautiful!”
Fans and media were all shouting Joana’s name. She tried to smile, but it was more like a painful grimace.
Just then, Astrid stepped out of the car.
The moment Astrid appeared, people around her were taken aback.
Her long black hair cascaded down her back, with light makeup on her delicate features, making her breathtakingly beautiful: A blue diamond earring peeked out from under her hair on the left ear. The wind blew her dress and hair, making her look otherworldly, instantly drawing everyone’s attention.
“Who is this? She’s so beautiful!”
“I’m freaking out, where did this beauty come from!”
“no comparison, ono harm. Looking at her, Joana is completely overshadowed.”
“Isn’t this the woman on the big screen? Astrid!”
“Wow, this woman’s name is as beautiful as she is.”
