Love in the Limelight Novel

Chapter 408
He really didn’t dare to cross Bernice.,
More than two decades ago, many influential people launched a passionate pursuit of her, just to win her favor. Even now, the
influential figures backing Bernice were not to be underestimated.
Dale sat in front of the TV and watched Maddox skip his phone for a while, jumping up in anger, “Maddox, you shameless
bastard, why hesitate? Can’t you see that this Bernice is a cunning, deceitful creature?”
Robb, chilling on the couch, coffee in hand, and a very calm expression on his face, “Bernice’s background was not simple. Over
two decades ago, guys were falling over themselves to impress her. One even gifted her an island. Another crossed half the
world to gift her a luxury car worth tens of millions.” “Even though she’s been out of the entertainment industry for years, there’s
still hardly anyone in showbiz who’d dare to cross her.”
“Really? Is she that formidable?” Dale squinted at Bernice’s face on the TV screen, the more he looked, the more annoyed he
got, “Are these people blind or just plain stupid? She’s clearly a cunning one, yet they treat her like a harmless bunny?”
“Isn’t there anyone in showbiz who can put her in her place?”
Robb replied, “there is.”
Dale started and rolled over the sofa to Robb’s side, his face full of gossip. “Who?”
“Her.” Robb glanced at the TV screen.
Dale was a tad suspicious, “She does look tough, and she’s got a lot of hats, but Bernice has deep roots in showbiz. Won’t be
easy to deal with.” “Silly.” Robb gave Dale a condescending tap on the head, To deal with Bernice, one identity is enough.”
One identity?
Dale mulled over this, but couldn’t make sense of it. Just then, Bernice on the TV suddenly spoke up, “I agree, I agree to have
my phone checked!” This sudden turn of events left Dale taken aback, “Didn’t she just say no? How did she agree in a blink of an
eye?”
Dale was stunned for a moment, then sprang up with a start, “Hypnosis!”

“My God, how could I forget about that!”
Under the gaze of countless viewers, Astrid had subtly hypnotized Bernice.
Maddox was also slightly taken aback, but since Bernice had agreed, he didn’t have much to say.
He took out his phone, handed it to Bernice, “Bernice, please unlock it.”
The first time he asked, Bernice didn’t react.
Maddox raised his voice, “Bernice, please unlock your phone.”
Bernice, as if waking from a dream, looked at Maddox handing her the phone, confused, “What are you doing? Didn’t I say I
won’t have my phone checked?”
Everyone on set was confused.
Comments: [Did Bernice have a split personality?]
[She just agreed to it, no one forced her! Why did she change her mind in just a few seconds?]
[This woman is weird!]
[Something must be wrong!]
Maddox, phone in hand, looked puzzled, “Ms. Bernice, you just clearly agreed to have your phone checked. Everyone here
heard it, as did the viewers watching the live stream.”
Bernice was dumbstruck because she knew Maddox wouldn’t lie to her.
But she never said that!
What on earth was going on?
Bernice bit her lip slightly, scheming in her heart, “I haven’t been sleeping well recently, my mind’s a bit muddled, you can check
if you want.” With that, she reached out to input the password, but deliberately put in the wrong one when logging into her
account, “I remember this being the password, I haven’t logged into this account for ages, I’ve forgotten the password.”
