Chapter 58
Lance grabbed his phone and called Valerie.
The call was connected after a few seconds, and Valerie started their conversation.
—
"So? Are you good now?" Valerie asked. She wasn’t all that surprised that Lance would act like a madman last night. She knew her cousin long enough, and Lance was the type whose emotions would heighten when he was drunk.
It was obvious that he was deeply in love with Madeline Rose. So there was nothing much she could do last night other than tell him to sleep, and then they could have a proper conversation now.
"I’m fully sober now," Lance confirmed.
"Then, what should we do next? Surely, you won’t do stupid stuff like pull all of your funding for this reality show, right?" Valerie brushed up on the much-dreaded topic. She didn’t want her effort to go down the drain just because her cousin was jealous.
"No, I won’t do that. This reality show has a lot of potential," Lance said. "But I want you to disqualify Madeline in the next episode."
"WHAT?!" Valerie’s jaw dropped. "You want Madeline out of the show? You said this reality show is for her!"
"I changed my mind. I want her out," Lance insisted. "Find something to disqualify her or make one. I don’t care. I just want her back to Los Angeles as soon as possible."
