My Repentant Brothers by Grace Edith

Chapter 340

Madeline couldn't help but chuckle. She realized not everyone knows everything, especially since everyone excels in different arcas. It's best to avoid making comments on things you're not familiar with, so she simply ignored Chloe.

Rose noticed Madeline's calm demeanor and thought it made sense she'd caught Eugene's interest; she must have some tricks up her sleeve. "Alright, Chloe, she's got nothing to do. You've got a livestream coming up, so get ready and don't let your fans down. "Tonight's all about chatting with fans, no gaming required. Get in the zone. As actors, who's really making it big just from gaming? It's just a way to gain fans."

"Exactly. We're popular stars; we're not the same as those starting out," Chloe scoffed. "Some people don't need to stream- envy their free time." The two intended to market their close friendship, sitting together for the livestream and occasionally making snide comments about Madeline. Madeline picked up her phone and stopped the recording. She'd captured all their snarky remarks.

Waving her phone slightly, Madeline said, "If you're bored enough to drag me into your mess again, I won't hesitate to post your words online for your fans to see just how catty their idols are behind the scenes. Might even get some of that star power myself." Rose's smile faltered; she hadn't expected Madeline to have such audacity-rising from an extra with such cunning methods.

"You wouldn't dare!" Chloe snapped harshly. "We know you're from a small-time outfit with barely any staff. You think you can handle our PR power? If you try anything foolish, I'll make sure our friends in the industry blackball you."

"Oh, whatever." Madeline shrugged, holding her phone. "I'll post it right now, and I've already backed it up to the cloud, so no worries about accidentally deleting the original."

Chloe's hands clenched tightly, her expression turning sour. She breathed heavily for a moment, glaring at Madeline as if she could tear her apart. "Fine. What do you want?"

Chloe was frustrated, knowing that if Madeline really lost it and posted the recording, Her "straight-talking spicy girl' image would be ruined. She regretted handing this kind of leverage to someone else. Usually, she'd bullied newcomers without any backlash like this. "Apologize," Madeline replied, turning back to her computer screen with a calm demeanor.

"Me, apologize to you?" Chloe frowned. "If I do, will you delete the recording?"

"No," Madeline smirked. "This isn't the time for you to set terms with me. And it's not just you who needs to apologize; it's both of you." With a tap on her keyboard, she sent off her revised paper.

Regaining her composure, Chloe remembered it was her livestream and she lacked experience. She needed to prepare and into the right mindset.
