Chapter 74: Chapter 74

Bertha and Ethan entered the car and sat side by side. They didn’t wash their bodies after dipping into the mud and fighting many monkeys.

But neither wanted to blame each other because they knew that was useless.

They lost and will be eliminated in two days.

"I told Frankie I would win it for him," Ethan muttered. "I don’t know what I should say when I meet him in two days."

"Just say that Madeline is cheating. She’s manipulating the game, so no matter what we do, we won’t win," Bertha said.

"Is there something we can do to at least get to the final?"

...

Bertha was thinking about acting meekly in front of Zane so he would eliminate Jasmin.

But she knew there was no point. Zane was completely under Madeline’s spell, and he would do as she said, like a good big dog.

"We can’t do anything here," Bertha said. "But that doesn’t mean we will never get any justice."

"And how can we get that?" Ethan sighed. "You know, I’m so pissed that a skank could seduce Zane. She wouldn’t be able to do anything without him."

"How many subscribers do you have on your YouTube channel?" Bertha asked.

"About eight million subscribers."

"And the retention? How many views do you get per video?"

"One or two millions per video, and more than ten million for the better-performing videos," Ethan said. He clicked his tongue, as he didn’t understand what Bertha was thinking. "Why do you ask for these, anyway? Do you want to be a guest in one of my makeup videos?"

Ethan was a beauty vlogger, so he had that typical makeup and chat session with fellow YouTubers or even a guest star.

He wished he could invite someone like Zane Eastwood because that would probably give him at least a hundred million views.

Zane was crazy popular. He was THE hot hunk of the year.

"Yeah, I want to be a guest star in your makeup and chat video," Bertha said.

"No offense, Bertha. But you’re not popular," Ethan said blatantly. "You got into this reality show because Elly said she wouldn’t come unless you’re with her. So you’re the least popular cast in this reality show."

"How many followers do you have on Instagram? About two hundred thousand? That’s so low," Ethan sighed as he commented, "I don’t want to waste my video slot for a nobody that won’t bring me money."

Bertha felt that this gay twink had stabbed her pride. She was so offended because, though she wasn’t popular, she was at least free from any scandal, unlike that skank Madeline.

But that wasn’t the point.

She wanted Ethan’s massive following to ruin Madeline’s image even more.

That bitch had been living comfortably after that scandalous affair with Jonathan Hale. It was time to kick her down and stomp her so she wouldn’t dare to raise her head again.

"Yes, I know I’m not popular. But we can work together to ruin Madeline’s image and get our justice," Bertha said. "You are a beauty vlogger. Come on, you know what I’m talking about."

Ethan frowned for a moment before his eyes widened, and he gasped, "You want to spill the tea about this reality show?"

"Yep," Bertha nodded. "Since we can’t get any justice here, why don’t we just spill the tea in your video? We can just say whatever because there is no way the reality show team will do anything about it, right?"

Ethan suddenly felt enlightened.

Bertha was right.

He had a YouTube channel with so many viewers who were hungry for the tea. So he could just say something about Madeline, and that bitch would get another hate train.

"You’re right," Ethan said. "Gurl, let’s destroy that bitch together."

"Yeah! We will get the last laugh!"

Bertha and Ethan did a high-five inside the car, and suddenly, their loss didn’t feel so bad.

Everyone returned to the resort after a long day in the Alas Kedaton Monkey Forest. Bertha and Ethan returned to their bungalows without saying a word. Meanwhile, Madeline and Zane took a walk around the resort in the evening.

They had a drink at the bar near the pool, discussing what they would do after the reality show ended.

"I already have another movie to film on my schedule after this," Zane said while sipping a glass of Gin. "I happen to have free time, so I come here to accompany you, Madeline."

"Haha, so corny," Madeline said, rolling her eyes. She disliked meaningless flirting, especially coming from a handsome man like Zane.

Most handsome men knew they were very handsome, so they flaunted it and flirted with everyone.

So she didn’t believe that Zane was sincere or that he came here solely for her.

He was definitely fully booked. Lance probably booked him to be part of the show because he would bring huge exposure.

"How about you, darling?" Zane leaned closer toward Madeline, and the latter stiffened when their lips were only a few inches away from colliding. "What will you do after this show ends? Clearly, you are the star of this show."

Madeline looked around. It seemed they didn’t have any cameras for now. Maybe the staff were still resting, as today was an exhausting day.

Thus, she answered him honestly, "I don’t know. I mean, I follow what my boyfriend told me to do."

"Hah, sounds like a controlling bastard," Zane said without a filter. He was already pissed knowing that Madeline had another man in her life and refused to be with him.

But just like what he said before.

He is a patient man.

He would wait until the right time for Madeline.

"If he truly loves you, he wouldn’t tie you up like that," he added. "I wouldn’t."

"It’s fine. I agreed to it," Madeline said vaguely. She did not want to tell him about her contract with Lance. "Besides, he is not my—"

Madeline halted her sentence when she saw a woman draw near them and stand behind Zane.

"Not your what?" Zane asked curiously. But then he realized that Madeline zipped her lips instantly while looking at someone behind them.

Thus, he turned around and saw the Producer of this reality show, Valerie Phoenix Gray, wearing a shirt and jeans, staring at Madeline while crossing her arms.

"Let’s talk, Madeline Rose."
