Chapter 138
Gracie, sitting in the passenger seat, nervously swallowed and tugged at her hair before gently pulling
at Astrid’s sleeve. “Astrid, this is…?”
“This is my brother.” Astrid pulled Gracie in front of her, “Bro, this is Gracie, my friend.“‘
Gracie was fixated on Rickon, seemingly captivated by his appearance.
“Hello.” Rickon nodded at Astrid, then said quietly, “I’ve found a better place for you to stay, your crew’s
accommodation is crap and it’s not safe either.” “Okay.” Astrid obediently nodded, “You’re not leaving
again, are you?”
“No, I’ll stick around for a few days until your opening ceremony is over, then you can come find me.”
Rickon said, pulling out a card from his pocket, “This is for you, let me know if you run out of cash.”
Astrid pushed the card back, “Bro, I’ve got money.”

started the engine and then asked, “Has anyone been messing with you lately?”
Astrid shook her head, “No.”
“That’s good.” Rickon said before stepping on the gas and driving off.
Rickon isn’t a big talker, and he has his own way of showing he cares, but he really does love his little
sister.
Gracie finally snapped out of her trance, “Astrid, that was your brother? You’ve never mentioned having
a brother before, where’d he come from?”
“You never asked.” Astrid replied, then said, “We better get going or we’re gonna be late.”
“Holy smokes, he’s so hot…” Gracie exclaimed, “I should’ve asked for his contact. Astrid, do you have
his number? Give it to me, I’ll make the first move!”
“Alright, alright, I’ll give it to you later, can we head to the opening ceremony now?” Astrid reluctantly
agreed before dragging Gracie away.
Meanwhile, at the president’s office of the Lampard Group, Elio was working when his phone suddenly
rang.
He glanced at the screen, it was an unknown number.
He hesitated for a moment before answering, “Hello?”
There was a pause on the other end of the line before a man’s voice asked, “Are you Elio?”
Elio: “Yes.”
The man: “I’m her brother, I heard you’re pursuing my sister? I disapprove.”
Elio was speechless.
He had met Astrid’s two–brothers, they knew about his pursuit of Astrid, but they had not explicitly
objected.
But this brother, straight up calling to say he disapproves…
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmElio: “Can I ask why?”
Rickon: “I just disapprove, no reason needed.”
With that, Rickon hung up.
Elio raised an eyebrow and began digging up information on this brother.
Astrid’s father had never publicly disclosed information about his children, so he couldn’t find any
online. But he was confident he could find something if he looked hard enough.
His fingers rapidly tapped at the keyboard when there was a knock at the door.
Elio: “Come in.”
Carson: “Chief, there was a mysterious man at the airport today who picked up Ms. Irvine.”
“A mysterious man?” Elio’s fingers paused, “Did we figure out who it was?”
Carson: “He’s one of the top ten racing drivers in the world, Rickon.”
