She Becomes A Hot Sensation After A Scandalous Affair
Chapter 72

Chapter 72: Chapter 72

Bertha’s expression eased momentarily. "Y—You’re going to give it to me?"

"Mhm, we’re childhood friends, remember?" Madeline giggled. "Of course, I will help you... if you’re not such a gossipy snake, that is."

Madeline glanced at the pond near the temple. It wasn’t a shallow pond. It was at least knee-length deep, and the perfect place for Bertha to search for this key.

Bertha sensed the maliciousness coming from Madeline. She followed her line of sight, and her eyes widened at the pond. "No, Madeline, don’t you fucking dare!"

"Oh, I fucking dare."

"You’re cheating! You’ll be disqualified."

"Why? I accidentally found your key, and I also—

Madeline threw the key into the pond and continued, "—Accidentally dropped it inside a pond."

"NOOOO!" Bertha was hysterical again. She was already on the verge of breaking down, and Madeline’s taunt only made it ten times worse. "YOU FUCKING BITCH!"

Bertha tried to reach Madeline, but Jasmin protected her, and Bertha was no match against Jasmin, a gym lady.

"Good luck finding your key," Madeline said. She turned around and walked away. "Let’s go, Jasmin. Our men are waiting for us."

"Wait for me. This crazy bitch is picking a fight," Jasmin said.

Madeline looked over her shoulder and said, "Bertha, the more you try to attack me, the longer it takes for you to save Ethan."

"YOU FUCKING SNAKE!" Bertha shouted at the top of her lungs. "YOU FUCKING SLY WHORE!"

"I am," Madeline confirmed. "Just like what you said back then, right? You told our classmates that I am secretly a whore who slept with all the boys in the basketball club."

"So, what do you expect from a snake like me? Of course, I will try to win by all means," Madeline said before she walked away, ignoring Bertha, who was screaming desperately.

Jasmin finally drew near Madeline after the other staff arrived and tried to calm Bertha down.

"You’re so hardcore, Madeline," Jasmin commented while watching Bertha, who was having a mental breakdown.

"The essence of this game is to manipulate the game in your favor, and I’m doing just that. That’s why none of the staff tried to stop me," Madeline replied. "Besides, this is a reality show. You can’t just be nice and expect yourself to get screen time."

Madeline was trying to poke at Jasmin, who had been nothing but unproblematic during the show, but Jasmin didn’t seem to realize that Madeline was poking at her.

Madeline sighed. ’I guess I can’t really force Jasmin to do that. She’s naturally a kind woman. I just hope she won’t relapse into drug addiction again after getting the prize money.’

Madeline and Jasmin arrived at the central temple area, where the rest of the filming crew and the three men in cages were located.

Madeline was shocked when she saw all of them in a sorry state. Russel was curled up on the ground, hugging all the remaining fruits as hard as he could so the monkeys wouldn’t be able to steal them. He endured all the scratches from the monkeys, even though it was easier to just let go of the fruits.

Zane was still in his fruit dress, fending off all the monkeys who tried to steal his fruits by using bait.

He lured at least three monkeys with one fruit each and threw it far away so the monkeys would fight over it for a long time.

Zane had successfully defended at least 80% of the fruits in his body, but Ethan wasn’t so lucky.

He was battered and had already lost all of the fruits in his body.

"Oh! Finally! Madeline and Jasmin have come to save their men!" Tia announced as she rushed to Madeline and Jasmin’s side.

They handed the key to Tia, and she unlocked Zane and Russel out of the cage. "And they are free!"

"Zane!" Madeline rushed to Zane and clung to him. They shared a kiss, and their sweetness was recorded on the camera. "Are you hurt? I’m sorry it took a while. There are a few things I need to do during the game."

"No, I’m fine." Zane smiled. "It’s not hard to fend those monkeys off. They’re mostly just curious."

"Are you sure? Because Ethan and Russel don’t seem to think so," Madeline said while glancing at Ethan, who was in a poor condition, and Russel, who was still curled up despite already having his cage unlocked.

"Well, they just don’t know how to bait those monkeys out," Zane said.

Jasmin approached the cage and squatted in front of Russel. She tapped his face a few times and said, "Time to get up, Russel."

Russel opened his eyes and saw the beauty in front of him. He teared up instantly, looking at the smiling Jasmin. "I—I’m sorry. I tried my best," he said while slowly releasing his tight hug on all the fruits in his embrace.

Jasmin chuckled. "It’s fine. I know you did your best."

Jasmin couldn’t help but adore Russel. He was obviously unable to perform like Zane, but he still tried to save as many fruits as possible.

"But we lost again..." Russel muttered. "I’m sorry."

"Dummy, it’s fine. This is just a reality show," Jasmin said before she picked him up and brought him to Tia.

"Well, we are still waiting for Bertha to come, but I guess we don’t need to wait for her just to announce the winner," Tia said while glancing at Ethan, who had lost all his fruits.

She also looked at a handful of fruits in Russel’s hand. He was better than Ethan, but the clear winner was the one who still had his fruit suit on.

"And the winner is..." Tia grabbed Madeline and Zane’s wrists. She lifted them and announced, "Team Madeline and Zane! Congratulations to the winner! Wow, two wins in a row! You two make a great team!"

Jasmin and Russel clapped for them, but Bertha finally arrived before Zane and Madeline could celebrate and shouted, "SHE IS CHEATING!"
