Chapter 171
"You are insane." Madeline shook her head in disbelief. She was speechless. She couldn’t believe all the stunts that Zane pulled just because she didn’t want to date him for real. "Zane Eastwood, you’re fucking insane!"
"Yeah, I’m insane because of you. You should blame yourself for being so fucking blind, Madeline Rose," Zane retorted. "Do you think I will do this if you accept me? I’ve been so good to you, protected you, and did everything you asked me to do. But you willingly sold your body to that scum just for a bit of money! You’re an insane whore!"
SLAP!
Madeline slapped Zane without thinking. She was just so humiliated and hurt hearing all of those cruel words that came out of Zane’s mouth.
Madeline admired this man so much that she became his fan since they worked together in a musical drama when they were ten.
She was also grateful for everything he had done for her and would be more than willing to compensate for all the hassle she caused him, in some ways other than love, because she didn’t love him the way she loved Lance.
Meanwhile, Zane rubbed his cheek. The sharp pain surged, followed by the searing heat, spreading across the left side of his cheek, but he didn’t mind it.
He could have dodged or grabbed her hand before she slapped him. But he didn’t do it because he wanted Madeline to know she had hurt someone who genuinely loved her and wished to help her.
Besides, he could also use this slap to guilt trip Madeline and her mother into submission.
"Don’t you ever call me a whore. I’ve never sold my body to Lance. We fell in love, and there’s nothing I can do about it."
