Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)
Chapter 216

Chapter 216

Astrid frowned, her face unchanging. "No problem, I got this."

Seeing Astrid so calm, Lamont asked nervously, "Astrid, are you sure you're okay? Do you want me to use our connections to look into this? We're not even sure if there's been a car accident!"

"I'll look into it. You guys stay alert and keep people away from my floor." With that, Astrid shut the door.

Lamont's worries grew. He wasn't scared when they were bidding against other organizations because those transactions were anonymous on the dark web.

But if their info got leaked, things would turn nasty.

They had plenty of enemies. Peaceful days might soon be a thing of the past.

After arranging his team, Lamont texted Chad, "Chad, we've got a situation. Our contact info has been leaked. Someone called and said, Quincy had been in a car accident!"

Chad was at a barbecue stand when he saw the message..

He put down his chicken leg, wiped his mouth, and quickly replied, "Is this info legit?"

Lamont replied. "Still checking."

"Keep Chief safe. If anything happens to her, you're responsible."

"Got it. Don't worry."

As he put down his phone, Chad lost his appetite for the barbecue.

He looked at Hank, who was sitting across from him, "Hank, Chief might be in trouble."

"What? Who dares to mess with our Chief?" Hank smashed his beer bottle on the table and started furiously tapping on his phone.

Chad was perplexed, "What are you doing?"

"Booking a flight so we can go protect our Chief!!" Hank stood up and said to the barbecue stand owner, "Boss, check please!"

They paid the bill and quickly left the stand.

Meanwhile, Astrid was tracking the call.

She couldn't reach Quincy, so he might actually be in trouble.

The hotel computer was slow and kept freezing.

Soon, she located the caller at a nearby hotel.

Back at her computer, Astrid quickly connected all the recent events.

From the moment Colton mentioned a tall guy with a mole, a chain of events had begun.

From the info about the tall guy and the mole, she found Warren Santos, who then betrayed Fannie, and then she learned about Quincy from Fannie.

But as she got closer to the truth, Quincy got into trouble.

This only meant one thing: the person behind the scenes was getting anxious.

He was starting to worry.

The fact that he knew about her meeting with Quincy meant he was no ordinary person.

Most people she'd met at the hotel had been dealt with, except for Colton, because everyone thought he was an idiot.

Idiots don't spill secrets.

If anyone knew Colton had regained his sanity, he would be in danger!

Because without Colton mentioning he'd seen her, the event that happened four years ago would remain a mystery.

On her phone, Astrid sent Jon a message. "Please keep Colton safe. Don't let him go out until I get back."

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Jon immediately took Colton to replace Rickon Brooke for safety, knowing Rickon was skilled in self-defense.
