Chapter 407

Mainly, she didn’t expect it to go this far, nor did she expect Astrid demand to check her phone!

“Astrid, what are you talking about? How could I possibly spread rumors about you? I’ve always wanted

you to shine.” Bernice walked over with a smile, her face flawless. “Mr. Maddox, you know how it is.

There are always those who like to spread rumors and always want to stir up public sentiment online”

Bernice was very experienced, and of course she couldn’t get Astrid to actually look at her phone. She

continued, “Let’s just drop it. We’ve both cleared things up here, those rumor mongers should back off

now”

Astrid’s psychoanalytic skills were strong, and she could tell that Bernice was upset.

Instead of pulling away this time, Astrid leaned into Bernice, “Auntie Bernice, they’re saying you’re

spreading rumors about me online. I just want to check your phone to prove your innocence, so they’ll

stop their attacks.”

Hearing this, Bernice seemed somewhat flustered, “That’s not necessary, Astrid I really don’t mind…”

Astrid was suddenly so chummy, calling her Auntie Bernice. Something was definitely gone wrong.

“No way, we’re so close. I can’t let people accuse you like this!” Astrid furrowed her brows, urgency in

her voice. “You’re a role model to so many. We can’t let those nasty comments online tarnish your

image!

Bernice was momentarily lost for words at Astrid’s statement. She was making perfect sense and

Bernice couldn’t refute it!

The netizens were just as confused.

Ever since Bernice joined the show, Astrid had been pretty cold to her. This sudden shift in attitude had

everyone scratching their heads.

Comments: [If Bernice has nothing to hide why won’t she let us see her phone?] [Exactly, checking her

phone would clear everything up. Why all this drama?] [Did we misunderstand Astrid? Maybe she’s

actually looking out for Bernice.] [Astrid is fair, she’s not afraid of confrontation, but some people might

not be.] [What is Bernice hesitating for? It couldn’t really be her, could it?]

[There’s no way it’s Bernice, someone with her class wouldn’t stoop so low!]

Even though it was late at night, many people were still up.

The comment section was buzzing.

Bernice had never taken the crew seriously, so she had no idea who took her phone. She didn’t even

have a target to signal to now.

“Sir, do you have the phone? Hand it over.” Astrid reached out to Maddox.

Bernice felt her heart leap into her throat. Why did she personally post those comments?

Because she thought no one would believe she would do it!

Given her social standing, no one would believe she was capable of such actions. Doing it herself was

the safest bet.

But who knew, Astrid had to be different! The first thing she wanted to do was check the phone!

“Mr. Maddox, I don’t need to prove my innocence. I don’t need to resort to this.” Bernice kept her cool,

but she was so nervous that her nails were practically digging into the phone. “Mr. Maddox, I joined this

show to experience life. I don’t want to get involved in anything else.”

“Put simply, the content on my phone is my personal business. I have the right to keep it private.”

This put Maddox in a tough spot. After all, Dale made it clear that if he didn’t cooperate with Astrid, the

investors might pull out, which would affect the entire crew.
