She Becomes A Hot Sensation After A Scandalous Affair
Chapter 34

Chapter 34: Chapter 34

Madeline frowned.

"Lance... set this up? Don’t kid me. He won’t do that," Madeline said.

"Well, you can ask our Director or even the Producer, Miss Valerie, about it. They will say the same thing," the Assistant Director shrugged. "I mean, no offense, Miss. I hope you’re well prepared for what will come next."

Madeline felt a shiver down her spine once she sensed the Assistant Director was not lying.

’No, there is no way that Lance would set me up like that, right? ’ Madeline tried to rationalize this situation as she didn’t want to think badly of Lance. ’Maybe there’s a misunderstanding or miscommunication, so I got a disadvantage instead of a benefit.’

Madeline tried to calm her panicking heart, but she couldn’t. So she tried to text Lance with her phone because she knew this would be the last time she could use it for the entire month, since Lance told her nobody could use their phone while the show was ongoing.

—

Lance, they told me that you’ve set me up to come a day later than the other cast members.

There must be a mistake, right? Because this means that I will be put in the spotlight because I don’t know anybody yet.

—

Madeline clicked send immediately and waited until Lance finally texted back.

She thought that he would apologize and try to fix things.

But what he said was.

—

Yeah, I set them up. Good luck, Madeline Rose.

Make a good show for me, will you?

—

Madeline’s blood ran cold. She shook her head, as she couldn’t believe what she just read.

"No, no fucking way..." Madeline muttered before she called his phone number.

Unfortunately, Lance rejected the call and blocked her phone number.

She felt that her world had come crashing down for the second time as she realized everything was a setup.

She leaned weakly on the car seat, still unable to comprehend that Lance planned to throw her into a wolf den the whole time, as if she were truly a delicious piece of meat, ready to get chewed by those merciless wolves.

’So I’ve been trusting him blindly," Madeline thought. ’I shouldn’t have put my hope in him. He told me many times that he wanted me to get even more infamous than before. Of course, he would do anything to smear my name even more.’

Madeline lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers as she was heartbroken.

She thought Lance would give her some preferential treatment, at least not to put her in a very difficult spotlight.

But here she was, having to deal with all the shit that had been prepared for her.

Madeline’s mind cooled off after some time. Her gaze became indifferent as she finally realized she was all alone, just like usual.

’Of course, everything is within his range of expectation. He wants me to be a pawn or some sort for whatever dubious plan he has, and in exchange, I will get money and infamy,’ Madeline was convincing herself that Lance wasn’t the good man she expected. ’Yes, I will pay him for all the investment he has given me. I’m here to make money and gain infamy. Nothing more, nothing less.’

’So fuck that Lancelot Grant. I will show him that I’m not a toy he can play with.’

Due to the traffic jam, Madeline reached the resort after almost three hours of driving. The Assistant Director glanced at Madeline Rose, whose expression sank and turned cold after realizing it.

She didn’t know what was happening between Lance Grant and Madeline Rose or whether the rumor that they were having a relationship was true or not, but she knew damn well that expression wasn’t good.

’Maybe they really dated, and he just dumped her? Oh great! How could a man like Lancelot Grant date a shameless and spoiled bitch like this?’ The Assistant Director sneered in her heart but dared not say a thing to Madeline.

As the Assistant Director escorted Madeline to her place, she explained about how amazing this supposedly vacation bungalow is. "There are four bungalows for all the contestants. It has a stunning ocean view, so you won’t miss the sunrise and sunset daily!"

"Mhm," Madeline responded perfunctorily. Her mind was full of negative thoughts about what kind of roommate she would get since they said two people would inhabit each bungalow.

They stopped in front of a bungalow with an open door.

She didn’t see anyone in the bungalow, but she saw her luggage alongside someone else’s inside.

"You should be grateful that you get the chance to stay in such a luxurious bungalow! I’m sure you haven’t got any chance to enjoy life after your scandal four years ago, right?" The Assistant Director made a scathing comment, knowing that Madeline wouldn’t get preferential treatment during this reality show anyway.

She was actually one of Madeline’s anti-fans, so when she knew that Madeline would be on this reality show, she couldn’t wait to sabotage her in some ways or at least make her life a living hell.

Madeline looked at the Assistant Director, who was smiling at her. She didn’t have any interest in this woman because, in Madeline’s eyes, she had a lot more to worry about than a nobody who couldn’t do anything to her.

But her scathing comment was enough to trigger Madeline, who was already in a bad mood.

"What’s your name?" Madeline asked crudely.

"Hm? Why do you want to know?" The Assistant Director grinned from ear to ear. "I guess there’s no harm in telling you my name. You can call me Olga."

"Olga, huh?" Madeline scoffed. "Be careful of what you say about me, Olga. I can make your life a living hell."

"You? Hihi, don’t joke with me, you skank," Olga continued, grinning as she kept taunting Madeline. "What can you do? Will you tell the director that I’m bullying you? You are the most hated contestant here. No staff will believe you."
