When Astrid didn't hear a response from Dale, he just kept talking to himself, "Speaking of international criminal organizations, apart from the notorious 'Viper Mirage,' there's 'Heaven's Wrath' led by the infamous Mr. C, and then there's this group called 'Viper Hunter.' Seriously, who came up with such a ridiculous name? The chief of this organization must be out of his mind to choose something so bizarre."
"Sounds like they've never read a book in their life."
Astrid: "..."
"Just remember what you said today."
Criminal organizations?
Their group was nothing of the sort!
Besides, the name was catchy and powerful, not weird at all.
He's the one who's out of his mind!
"What? What do you mean?" Dale was still speaking when Astrid hung up on him.
If it weren't for her brother, she would have dealt with Dale long ago.
Bernice must have some serious skills to be in cahoots with the chief of Viper Mirage.
She had to act first before Garnett could reveal her identity as a Brooke family heiress and ruin her wager.
The thought of Matt laughing at her was unbearable.
As these thoughts raced through her mind, Astrid felt increasingly agitated.
The steak dinner in front of her suddenly lost its appeal.
Gracie and Selena, who noticed Astrid had gone quiet after hanging up the phone, looked worried.
Gracie asked, "What's wrong, Astrid? Did someone steal your role again?"
Selena added, "Don't worry, you'll definitely land even better roles in the future."
