Chapter 89
"Madeline, wait!" Valerie rushed to catch up with Madeline, who didn’t even look back to check on the producer.
Valerie huffed as she finally caught up to Madeline. "W—Wait, no need to rush."
Madeline didn’t stop, but she slowed her steps, allowing Valerie to take a breath before they could walk side by side.
Valerie checked on Madeline, who didn’t have an ounce of joy in her eyes.
"I’m sorry that I can’t stop him from coming in. He’s the investor in this reality show. But... you should know he is here because he’s worried," Valerie said.
"What is he worried about? He’s the one who sent me in here, breaking his promise and expecting me to fail in this reality show. He even went as far as putting a tapping device in my bungalow," Madeline said coldly. "He should’ve stayed in Los Angeles, watching from afar and laughing at my misfortune, because that seems to be what he planned before."
Valerie couldn’t refute that because it was the truth.
She still didn’t understand why Lance would be so cruel to a woman he loved, but he did expect Madeline to embarrass herself in this reality show.
He expected Madeline to make a huge reaction to propel the reality show rating and her infamy.
But at the same time, Valerie could also feel Lance’s regret. He was truly stressed and angry, probably blaming himself for putting Madeline into this.
"I have no intention to stop him from coming either. I know your position, and I know mine," Madeline said. "But why would he need to come during the final? If he’s smart enough, he should’ve known better not to cause a ruckus during a final episode."
"On top of that, why would he need to punch Zane like that?" Madeline muttered. "He’s a good man. He doesn’t deserve to get humiliated like that."
