Chapter 289

Madeline heard the voice and looked over, surprised to see a familiar face from the entertainment industry.

For those working in the entertainment industry, seeking shortcuts was common and understandable. The reality was that achieving success without any support in this field was extremely challenging and often required a significant amount of luck.

Madeline didn’t think there was anything wrong with such choices.

Madeline saw Eugene’s expression and said. “This lady offered you a drink.”

Rose felt that Madeline was staking her claim and said, “Miss, I’ve heard you’re also an actress, and I hope we can work together sometime.”

“Maybe we will,” Madeline replied with a gentle smile, not taking Rose’s words to heart.

If Madeline’s memory was correct, she and Rose had worked together in her past life.

However, Madeline was the lead and Rose was just a minor character, so they hardly had any interaction.

“Not interested.” Eugene replied calmly.

Come on,

Mr. Sharp, this lady doesn’t mind. What are you worried about?” Rose teased, raising an eyebrow. “Surely, miss, you wouldn’t get jealous, right” Rose added.

Rose just estimated that Madeline was probably kept by Eugene, rather than his main partner. Given Madeline’s modest nature. Eugene wouldn’t gain any status by being with her, and it was clear that she could never ascend to a prominent position in his life,

So Rose was quite confident.

Eugene fixed his eyes on Madeline’s face and asked. “Maddie, what do y

Eugene thought, ‘If she doesn’t mind, then she really doesn’t care about me at all

Eugene thought of himself as easygoing and generous, but whenever he saw Madeline talking to other guys, a heavy feeling settled in his heart, making him quite unhappy and jealous.

Eugene asked, “Maddie, do you want me to drink with herr

Eugene narrowed his eyes, thinking, ‘IF Madeline dares to say something that disappoints me, I won’t hold back. No one would let their partner go out drinking with another woman

Eugene was already imagining what Madeline would say and the consequences of her words.

Madeline wasn’t clueless. She fully

fully understood the warning in Eugene’s eyes,

Finally, Madeline said to Rose in a calm tone, “Forget it. He doesn’t like it when people keep offering him drinks, and he’s not that good at drinking anyway. Since he’s not interested, why not replace someone else? There are a lot of people here. Ms. Johansen, you’re young and attractive. I believe many are keen to have a drink with you?

“You.” Rose was embarrassed, thinking, “Are you kidding Mr. Sharp’s prowess in holding his liquor is legendary–he’s never been known DO succumb to the effects of alcoholt What on earth are you implying by suggesting that many are eager to share a drink with him? Are you mocking met Just because you managed to get here first, you’re acting as if you have some sort of claim over Mr. Sharp, like you’re his girlfriend or something Don’t you realize who you are! You’re just an extra, and if you have any aspirations to make a name for yourself in the entertainment industry, you’d better start by showing some respect to those who’ve come before you. This path you’re on is not one you want to navigate by making enemies

Even though Rose was angry, she stayed calm on th

on the surface and said, “You called me Ms. Johansen. Do you know me?

Madeline asked. “Didn’t you just say your name was Rose Johansen?”

Rose had thought Madeline knew about her fame, Asking such a question only made her feel like a fool

Rose sold Eugene, “All right. Since Mr. Sharp is hosting tonight, join you for a drink regardless. If you’re interested, we could be friends outside

of this setting

Linterested Eugene replied decisively.

He couldn’t figure out what was up with Rose. I wondered, “With my girlfriend right next to me, why did she keep coming at me? I am usin without female company, and Madeline might misunderstand inc

Eugene said directly, “She’s my girlfriend. We’re just one step away from getting married.”

By now, Rose’s expression was so dark, and she said, “Sorry, I didn’t know, I was just playing truth or dare with my friends. Please forgive us

With her head down, Rose went back.

As soon as Chelsea saw Rose like this, she knew Rose had been frustrated, “Maybe Mr. Sharp just enjoys the Cinderella and Prince game. It’s not that you’re not good enough. He just likes to be with someone who’s unnoticed,” said Chelsea,

Holding her wine glass, Rose said. “Don’t let me see her on set

Seeing Rose leave, Chelsea called out, “Wait for me! I’m coming with you. Don’t be upset!”

Madeline munched on a couple of cupcakes and sipped a drink, eyeing the untouched skewers. She thought that probably others were worried about messing up their makeup, so no one tried them.

Madeline didn’t mind and walked over to take a beef skewer.

Eugene patiently followed Madeline around, handing her water and tissues from time to ti

to time.

Once Madeline was full, she found a comfy spot on the couch, leaned back, and contentedly closed her eyes

Madeline said. “So you brought me here just for the food and drinks? Next time, let me know. I’ll come by myself with just a call.”

Eugene said, “Who told you so? I brought you here for something important.”

Madeline sat u

up straight and looked at Eugene, who was sitting across from her. She asked, “Are you talking about the Williams f Caleb has assigned plenty of bodyguards to protect me.”

family? No worries,

Eugene smiled and pulled a few photos out of his pocket. “Have you

you seen this woman before?” he asked.

Madeline replied. “Isn’t she Daisy Green, my counselor’s girlfriend? She’s a gentle and maturely charming lady. Many students admire her. She’s the most popular female faculty member at Acocester University.”

Madeline paused, holding the photos. Then she asked, “Why are you showing me these photos? Is there something wrong with her?”

Eugene replied, “She’s Karen”

Madeline realized what was going on.

When Daisy first came to Acocester University, Madeline was a bit suspicious, but later Daisy seemed perfectly normal. She spoke kindly and was very accommodating, which made Madeline feel she was a great teacher.

Daisy always appeared to genuinely care for Madeline and did not seem like a psychopath.

Madeline asked. “Could there be a mistake? Wasn’t Karen Wesley’s close friend? I heard she disappeared after staying in a nursing home. If she is Karen, why isn’t she staying with Wesley instead of acting as my counselor? Could there be some misunderstanding?”

Eugene said. “Theard it from Gavin. He went to pick you up once and saw Karen. We’ve been trying to figure out what she actually plans to do Eugene collected the photos and continued, “We haven’t told you because we wanted to keep you away from her. She’s dangerous. Under our surveillance, she hasn’t done anything harmful to you. She’s been just like any regular counselor, working and resting on schedule. However, she’s disappeared from Acocester University. We suspect she’s planning her next move.”

Madeline didn’t know Karen well since she often worked on film sets, frequently took leaves, and rarely went to the campus.

Eugene tapped the table and said. “Back on campus, Karen was always observing you closely and gathering a lot of information ab looked into your family background. She has been monitoring you for an entire year, like a patient hunter.
