Chapter 25
Madeline tried to distract her aching heart after the fight with Nathan by checking everything she bought randomly when she was on a shopping spree on Rodeo Drive.
She wondered if she was being too tacky since she knew that most people brought up from generational wealth usually wouldn’t want to look like a walking ad.
The old money usually preferred to buy things without the brand name plastered all over the product. Meanwhile, the new money preferred to expose their wealth to everyone as they earned it rather than inheriting it.
Honestly, Madeline really had no preference for this. She grew up in a middle-income household, and even when she was at her peak after the success of her movie, she still had no control over her money, so she was still the same girl who liked to buy clothes based on quality and how cheap they were.
If a dress from H&M or Zara was good enough, then so be it. She wouldn’t spend more on a dress she probably wouldn’t wear twice in a year.
So she had no preference for old or new money because she had NO money!
"Would Lance’s family get an ick from me if I wear this walking advertisement of a dress in their family gathering?" Madeline wondered as she checked the dress with the LV logo embossed in the middle like Superman.
After all, she had to present herself as Lance’s girlfriend and look a certain way.
’Or, maybe I don’t need to worry about what they will think. Lance hired me because I’m infamous and controversial, so I’m sure he wants to piss his family off with my presence,’ Madeline connected the dots together easily. She wasn’t dumb, and she was sure that Lance wasn’t dumb either.
She still had no idea what he wanted to do, but if he wanted her to annoy the hell out of his family, then she was the best at it.
Madeline grinned as she finally tossed the idea of shame. "Oh, whatever, I will just wear this walking advertisement of a dress. I’m sure Lance will approve of my tacky behavior."
As Madeline was busy with her dress, she suddenly got a call from Lance Grant.
