She Becomes A Hot Sensation After A Scandalous Affair
Chapter 82

Chapter 82: Chapter 82

Meanwhile, on the other side of the room, Zane was sitting on the throne, looking at Jasmin and Bertha, who stood before him.

Jasmin looked relaxed, but Bertha tried to resume her meek acting despite showing it all in front of the camera from the previous game.

"I remember you had a mental breakdown because Madeline made the puzzles ten times harder in that Monkey Forest," Zane mentioned. "Are you feeling better now?"

Normally, Bertha would act sweet in front of a handsome man like Zane, hoping to gain his sympathy.

Besides, she had been admiring him ever since she was young.

She clearly remembered how that handsome ten-year-old boy stood in front of all the theater and choir kids as the producer of a musical drama brought him in.

The producer introduced him as Zane, who’d play the younger version of the male lead in the musical drama, and he needed a pair.

Ten-year-old Bertha fell in love instantly with Zane, and she was naturally the best out of everyone in the choir.

Unfortunately, Bertha’s chance to play in that musical drama was gone the moment Madeline stepped in and started singing.

She even remembered how Zane was so mesmerized while looking at Madeline. He pointed at the beautiful ten-year-old Madeline and said eagerly,

-

’I love her. Please let me play the drama with her!’

-

It was such a bitter memory for Bertha because she was a better singer and dancer than Madeline, but she always got the best things just because she was born pretty!

Meanwhile, Bertha became a small-time cafe singer at best, just like the other choir members as she grew up.

So it felt like a huge slap in the face when Madeline and Zane reunited in this reality show and became a pair of lovebirds instantly.

As if they were laughing at her failure in life.

"W—Well, Madeline is really too much. She’s cheating, and everyone is defending her..." Bertha complained meekly. "I got frustrated and sad, and nobody comforted me..."

"She’s playing it according to the game rules. You’re just too dumb to get it right," Zane said. "Madeline told me that Jasmin solved the megabats problem in five minutes, yet you’re having a screaming tantrum there."

’Of course, it’s Madeline’s job to feed Zane this stuff,’ Bertha accused. She was burning with rage, knowing that Madeline lived like a queen, while Bertha was being treated unfairly. ’I should’ve made a worse rumor when Madeline got caught in an affair with Jon back then. Maybe make a rumor that she’s secretly drugging Jon and she tried to baby trap him.’

Bertha had a lot of malicious thoughts about Madeline. At this point, the only way she could feel happy was watching Madeline get raped by countless drunkards; then, her body getting mutilated and eaten by vultures.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t show her thoughts in front of the cameras, especially not in front of Zane.

"And you, Jasmin—" Zane turned towards Jasmin. "Do you expect yourself to be saved just because you’re Madeline’s friend?"

Jasmin shrugged. "You can eliminate me, but I don’t think Madeline will be too happy hearing that."

Zane’s lips thinned.

He was still in a terrible mood after Madeline didn’t accept his confession last night. Though he didn’t expect an immediate yes, he also didn’t expect an outright rejection.

He was hurt, but at the same time, he also couldn’t bear to go against any of Madeline’s wishes because he didn’t want to make her sad.

’If only I could be petty, I’d eliminate Jasmin for the sake of it,’ Zane thought. He closed his eyes briefly and nodded. "Bertha Marsh, I have to eliminate you from this competition."

...

There was no response from Bertha. She simply stood there like a statue, trying to let this seep in.

She didn’t respond for at least five minutes before Zane called her "Bertha?"

Bertha didn’t answer him. Instead, she turned around and looked at the cameras in front of her.

Her eyes flooded with tears as she declared, "This is all because of Madeline. All of you are biased towards her, and I don’t have a chance to win against her because everyone is on her side!" Bertha turned back at Zane and yelled, "You are also the same, Zane! You are willing to be manipulated by Madeline just because she’s pretty! You are much better than this!"

Zane glared at Bertha for daring to mock his woman. "What do you know about me? Do you think I like Madeline just because she’s pretty?"!

"Then what else? Madeline has no talent! She can’t sing, dance, or act, and she’s dumb as hell!" Bertha said desperately. "She’s also the mistress of a married man! Why does everybody forget the fact that she ruined someone’s marriage?!"

"Security!" Zane didn’t want to lose control in front of the cameras. He was a professional and wouldn’t let the cameras see his ugly side.

Security guards came and forcefully removed Bertha from the room, finally cementing the final lineup of the reality show: Madeline, Jasmin, Russel, and Zane.

"I can walk on my own! Let me go!" Bertha exclaimed, struggling to break free from the security.

The security finally let her go once they were out of the room. Bertha was thrown out and slumped to the ground. While lamenting her fate pitifully, Madeline left the other room and raised her brow when she saw Bertha. "Did you get eliminated, Bertha? Aww, how sad~."

Bertha lifted her head. She clenched her fists, as she was so ready to punch the smirk out of this bitch.

But she knew that would only get her into a trouble that she couldn’t handle.

’Calm down, Bertha. You will destroy this bitch once you’re out of this goddamn island,’ Bertha told herself.

"You look angry. What did I do to you, Bertha?" Madeline taunted.

Bertha stood and glared at Madeline.

She snarled, "I will get the last laugh, Madeline. Just you fucking wait!"
