Chapter 30
"A month? Where will you go?" Diana asked.
"To a resort somewhere. I don’t know," Madeline said. "My boss has been casted on a reality show and wants me to go with him. I will stay in the same resort for the shoot for a month, and he promised to give me a lot of bonuses once he’s done."
"But you’re not going to be an actress there, right?" Diana asked out of concern. She remembered how Madeline was so crushed when Jonathan Hale lied to her.
Her career was ruined, and she cried every day because of all the scathing comments from people in real life and on social media.
Even their relatives began to distance themselves because they really thought Madeline was a homewrecker.
Diana couldn’t bear to see her daughter get mocked and slandered online again. It was so painful that her health was deteriorating fast when the news broke out.
"No, I don’t want to be on TV anymore, Mom," Madeline replied. "Don’t worry about me. I’ll be just fine."
"But what about Nathan?"
"Nathan..."
Honestly, Madeline wasn’t sure about it either. She hadn’t broken the news to her little brother because of their deteriorating relationship.
He simply refused to talk to her, and Madeline preferred not to talk unless it was important because he would always yell or belittle her.
But, of course, she wouldn’t tell her mother about the souring relationship between the Roses siblings. Her mother was battling cancer, the last thing she needed to know was the series of arguments and fights between Madeline and Nathan.
