Chapter 391
“But don’t sweat it too much, Roman’s just all talk, no action. If there were any real contenders trying to snatch Astrid away, he’d definitely team up with his dad to fend them off.”
After Matthew finished, he immediately sighed and added, “Look at Astrid, she’s so exceptional. I thought she was already at the peak, but she always manages to pull out even more surprising skills. And then there’s Elio, the kid’s good at making money, but that’s it!”
On hearing this, Roman agreed instantly, “Grandpa, I completely see where you’re coming from. Oh, and Lucas keeps picking me up from kindergarten these days.
“Aren’t you friends with Lucas? Don’t you like it when he picks you up?” Matthew pinched Roman’s cheek lightly. “Don’t bully Lucas, alright?”
“I’m not bullying him, but he’s been acting weird lately. He keeps saying that if anyone else comes to pick me up, I shouldn’t go with them: Roman pouted, complaining in a small voice, “He seems kind of upset, he’s not as jolly as before.”
Hearing this, Matthew paused, turning to look at Roman with narrowed eyes, “Has anyone else come to pick you up from school?”
“Um…” Roman thought for a moment, then nodded, “Yeah, the teacher told me that an elder from the Lampard family came to pick me up, but I remembered Lucas’s words, so I didn’t go.”
Hearing this, a wave of panic washed over Amanda, making her stiffen involuntarily Matthew’s hand also trembled slightly, but he quickly put on a gentle smile, “Roman, it’s been cold lately, and I know you don’t want to go to school. How about call your teacher and you can take a few days off?”
“Really? That’s awesome! I can stay at home with mom every day!” Roman cheered, clapping his hands on the sofa, while the two elders were deep in thought. Some people couldn’t stand watching Elio and Astrid getting closer.
The two elders shifted their gaze to the TV, but they couldn’t focus anymore.
At this moment, netizens were criticizing Ramsey for not keeping his promises.
Ramsey lost, so he need to eat the snake skin.
But he refused to accept his loss, and even started cursing, “What a crap show! Making a medical expert eat snake skin?”
By now, Ramsey was in shambles. His family had pulled many strings and shelled out a lot of money to make him Keen’s apprentice, but to his surprise, Keen told him to get lost in front of everyone because of this Astrid!
It was so humiliating!
He didn’t know how to explain this to his family!
Ramsey turned to Elio, “Mr. Lampard, you’d better see clearly. This woman has climbed up many rich men, otherwise how could she have smoothly entered this industry
“Plainly put, she’s nothing more than a loose woman. She might look nice on the outside, but who knows how dirty she is!”
Before Ramsey could finish, Elio took a large step forward.
He was about to punch Ramsey when Astrid grabbed his hand in time. The powder in her hand was scattered, falling directly onto Ramsey’s face.
The powder was extremely fine, almost invisible to the naked eye.
Ramsey felt something was wrong, he hastily wiped his face, then pointed at Astrid and shouted, “What did you do to me?”
“What did I do to you? I just stopped Elio from hitting you, don’t get it twisted!” Astrid held onto Elio’s arm, her face full of smiles.
Elio turned to look at her, she just lifted an eyebrow at him, a playful smile in her eyes.
