Chapter 94
The Remorseful Brothers
Chapter 94 Madeline didnât pause in her tracks.
Lola grabbed Madeline and said, âMadeline, letâs have coffee together.â
Madeline refused, âNo. I have to go back to school.â
Madeline walked outside.
She felt there seemed to be a line of sight behind her.
She looked back and found that no one was looking at her.
She shook her head as she thought, âThis is weird.â
After removing her makeup and changing clothes, she got her paycheck for the film.
Madeline looked at her phone. It was already ten at night, so it was not easy to hail a taxi in such a place.
While thinking, she walked out of the film studio âHey, you are really a piece of work. Madeline, you havenât been here for a while. I thought you quit.â
Jasmine raised her chin nobly, much like a peacock fanning its feathers. âTaking on background roles everywhere. Are you truly this desperate for fame?â
âItâs none of your business. Madeline frowned slightly.
âHaha Jasmine blew at her fingernails and said, I just want to Life what happens to someone who dares to dream beyond their station in The assistant, Whitney, chimed in mockingly, âAbsolutely true. But Ms. Zook, why would she even dare to compare herself to you? Her family lacks wealth, and no one in her family acknowledges her. One should possess enough resources to chase oneâs dream in the entertainment industry!â
Jasmine smiled coldly. âSheâs satisfied with playing background roles for 40 dollars a day. She doesnât care if she possesses enough. resources to pursue her dream, just as long as she doesnât starve to deathâ
Madeline looked away. âReally? How much did your family spend on you? It seems that they are not generous enough. Youâve left school but havenât managed to achieve fame. Be cautious not to become both uneducated and a Dâlist actress.â
As Madeline said that, she suddenly felt a little funny and chuckled.
âI havenât seen you for a month, and youâve grown some guts, Jasmine frowned, and her sweet face was a little gloomy She walked to Madeline and took her hand. âWhy are you boasting in my presence? Know your place. Do you believe you have the right to speak about me?â
Madeline shook off her hand without hesitation.
âHow does a woman who has repeatedly caused me trouble dare to approach and act arrogantly in front of me?â she pondered *Madeline, it seems that you really forget your identity if I donât teach you a lesson! Jasmine raised her hand but was grabbed by Madeline again.
Her brows furrowed, and a sense of foreboding settled in her heart.
Slap!
Before she could react, Madeline slapped her in the face.
Jasmine covered her stinging cheek in disbelief.
âMadeline, how dare you hit me?â
âHow dare you hit Ms. Zook!â Whitney rushed over to help and said, âWhat a jerk! How dare you do that?â
11:40 AM Chapter 91 Madeline had a little fighting prowess. She knocked them down easily.
Jasmineâs check was bruised, and the blood staining it was conspicuous. âYou! Youâve disfigured my face. Iâll ensure you face the consequences.â
She was terrified. If she disfigured herself, her life would be over.
âHow dare Madeline do this to me? Is she still the same person?â Jasmine thought.
Whitney was anxious. âMs. Zook, you. How are you going to film tomorrow!â
Jasmine also covered her face and said anxiously, âMadeline, wait for your death!â
âDo you believe Iâm unaware that you struck my head? Madeline crouched down and spoke with a faint smile. âI refrained from retaliating earlier, but I might not hold back now. You didnât show mercy to me when channeling your anger on Winslerâs behalf.â
Jasmine felt a little guilty. âEven if you know it, so what? Winslet is my good friend. I simply wished to teach you a lesson. Wait and see. When we cross paths later in a film, I wonât let you off lightly.â
âOkay, since you are so kind and righteous, Iâll help you Madeline rested her chin on her finger and said after some thought, âSince your face is hurt, filming might prove difficult. Thus... Iâll just ask Mr. Anderson to replace you.â
âJust you?â Jasmine seemed to have heard a big joke.
âMadeline is just a poor wretch who exhausted herself for tens of dollars. How audacious of her to think she can instruct Mr.
Anderson to replace me? How amusing!â Jasmine thought, âFeel free to continue with your charade. There arenât any surveillance cameras here, after all. No one will ridicule you.
Opportunities to put on such a facade are rather limited,â Jasmine remarked.
Whitney smiled and added, âAbsolutely. Whatâs the point of pretending? Itâs the behavior of a country bumpkin. If Ms. Zook speaks a single word, youâll find yourself in a police station.â
Jasmine covered her aching face and declared, âLetâs go have the wound examined now. Tomorrow, you can kneel down and offer your apology. Letâs see if the Larson family will come to get you after such embarrassment.
The Larson family... How long ago were they? Madeline murmured in her heart.
Madeline couldnât help but laugh. âYou are so obsolete. Do you think Iâm still the old Madelineâ
âAre you saying you have turned over a new leaf? Certain ambitions should be tempered. You transformed from a rural bumpkin into the Larson familyâs daughter. Do you truly believe such a miracle could occur again?â
Jasmine looked down on Madeline, who had no background. Her tone was full of superiority and supremacy.
Madeline smiled faintly, neither refusing nor agreeing to Jasmineâs comment. Then, she sent a text messag Jasmineâs expression bore a hint of sarcasm, anticipating how Madeline would maneuver the situation. Soon, Jasmine received a call.
Jasmine saw that it was from Sebastian and thought that it must be a coincidence.
She didnât believe Madeline would have a way to talk to Sebastian.
After answering the phone, her face turned pale. âNo way! How is that possible?â
âMs. Zook, whatâs wrong?â Whitney was a little confused.
âMr. Anderson just called. He said I donât need to go to the set tomorrow... Iâve lost my role.
After a while, Jasmine received another call from her father, Sean Zook.
Jasmine hurriedly got up and drove back.
Whitney also left immediately.
There were some sounds in the darkness 11:40 AM Chapter 94 Madeline looked over in confusion and saw a boy with pinkâblue hair standing coldly in the darkness not far away.
âIâm sorry. What a coincidence. I bumped into you guys.â
The boyâs voice was cold and sulxlued, akin to the delicate sound of a pearl jade dropping onto a plate.
It also resembled a raindrop landing on eaves, a gentle descent amidst the flowers.
It was melodious.
âItâs okay. Madeline turned around and was about to leave.
âThere is no car here. Iâll take you to the nearby subway stationâ Yohannesâs voice was very calm. He took out a mask and put it on his face.
Disheveled pinkâblue hair partially obscured his eyes.
âNo, thank you,â Madeline hurriedly refused. Tm sure Iâll get a taxi soon.â
Yohannes ignored her and drove the car over, rolling down the window.
*Come on, get in the car?
Madeline hesitated for a moment and sat in the back seat. âThe nearest subway station is....
âThere is navigation/
Madeline shut up obediently.
There was no sound in the car. It was dark, and only the street lamps outside showed some faint light, Madeline looked out of the window and tried to distract herself.
She didnât know whether Yohannes was kind or recognized her.
Suddenly, the man in the driverâs seat spoke.
âDonât you like coffee?â
