Love in the Limelight novel Chapter 578

The thick substance dripped from his hair, and Darius gagged in response.

The crowd: "!!!"

"Ew..."

"Ugh!"

"That's disgusting!"

"..."

Once Selena was done throwing up, Astrid gently helped her to her feet, patting her back softly. "Feeling better?"

"Yeah, much better after getting it out," Selena replied, shaking her head to clear the dizziness. She clung to Astrid's arm, determined not to be a burden.

Linda snapped back to reality after the shock. "Astrid, what are you doing?!"

Darius was left speechless, trapped in the mess of vomit.

"What am I doing?" Astrid smirked. "This drink was forced on my girl Selena by him. Naturally, I'm just returning the favor. Problem?"

"Astrid, don't push your luck. This is our turf! Everyone here is with us. Do you think you’ll just waltz out of here?" Linda shouted, dropping any pretense as she called out, "Get her, make her drink it!"

"Let’s see if you can really stir things up," she sneered. "Is the camera ready? I want everyone to see what a disgrace this so-called fierce and beautiful Astrid really is!"

With Linda's signal, the men in the room started closing in on Astrid.

Astrid chuckled, "A bunch of trash. Even dealing with you would dirty my hands!"

"Don't move. I'll handle this myself!"

Linda looked around, confused about whom Astrid was addressing, not spotting any allies.

"Calling you trash is an insult to trash!"

Watching their friend bleed on the floor, the entitled rich boys hesitated.

They were the sons of the wealthy and famous, summoned by Linda for a chance to take advantage of Astrid’s beauty. But when faced with her raw power, their bravado crumbled.

"You... Astrid, you can't bully us like this!" Darius tried to muster some courage, but before he could finish, Astrid silenced him with another bottle. "Shut up! Who said you could speak when I'm talking?"

The crowd: "..."

Linda: "You’re a bunch of big guys and you can’t even handle one woman? Aren't you ashamed? Get on with it!"

"If we don’t succeed tonight and Elio finds out you tried to mess with his woman, he’ll make sure you pay!"

Astrid grinned at that. "No need for Elio to step in. I’ll deal with you all myself tonight!"
