My Repentant Brothers by Grace Edith

Chapter 345

Chloe thought it made sense. 'If Madeline had said she was an influencer from the start, would I have had a problem with her? I only bully people based on their status! Madeline clearly knows what's going on but pretends she doesn't!"

"So annoying." Chloe muttered. "I can't wait to see how she keeps pretending to be invisible!" Chloe was infuriated, thinking. about how tonight Madeline not only forced her to record an apology but also publicly embarrassed her. She just couldn't let that go. "Don't be upset. Aren't you having lunch with her tomorrow?" Rose's eyes twinkled with a hint of scheming. "We can turn the tables then and make her slip up too," she suggested slyly. "And it'll be much more serious than just some gossip..." Chloe was curious, but since Rose wasn't planning to explain, she decided not to press further.

Madeline's popularity was only exploding within the gaming community, but with the show's marketing support and a financial boost from a wealthy sponsor, she stayed trending online until the following afternoon.

The gossip accounts spilled the tea: [Get this! Lynn, who used to be a big deal in esports, quit three years ago to focus on family after her partner complained. Even the esports coach was bummed out. And it turns out she was a girl-just 17 at the time! She left to prep for the SAT and scored first in the city. What a genius! She's good-looking too, unbelievable!]

People were all about the drama, and with Madeline trending, the views were off the charts, pushing her to the fifth spot on the trending list.

By the time Madeline finished filming the next day, her Twitter followers had already exceeded 3.8 million, but the gain wasn't anything special. Her previous most-liked tweet, which was a promotional post for a drama with Yohannes, only had 500 likes. But now, a casual photo shoot she posted last month had gathered over 10 thousand likes.

Madeline understood she was only an unknown actress, and she couldn't handle this kind of attention yet. If she tried to ride the wave thinking she made it big, she'd soon find herself falling. Only by steadily gaining recognition through her work could she truly achieve success. So, she didn't pay attention to the buzz on Twitter.

Chloe and Rose were waiting specifically for Madeline.

Lucas by her side, Madeline casually slipped her phone into her pocket as she met up at the filming location. Her demeanor was relaxed and unguarded.
