Chapter 100
Madeline did not have high expectations for the casting at first.
After all, her relationship with Yohannes wasn’t strong enough for the latter to do something like that for her.
It required money or connections, and there were many other things to consider..
When he casually mentioned that she could play any role she wanted, she did not take it seriously.
However, a little after eight o’clock in the evening, she received a message from the other party confirming the casting
Madeline sat up straight, looking at her phone in surprise. “Is it really decided just like this?”
“The filming starts on Independence Day. Is the director not going to even interview me? Is this what happens when one has a backer?” she wondered as she touched her chin cutely.
In her previous life, she worked as a background actress for a long time before getting a chance to shine.
She could not help but think, “Can I really start my
1 my career this lifetime with such a good role?”
Madeline had never used special privileges to get ahead of others, so she was a bit uneasy.
Nonetheless, she had great confidence in her acting skills.
Once the agreement was signed, she could start studying the script.
When Gavin returned, he saw Madeline happily lying on the couch and asked. “What’s going on? Did something good happen today? Did you
make a fortune?”
Madeline shook her phone and replied, “Nothing much. I just got cast in a film, so I am overjoyed to have some work to do.
“Maddie, you’re such a fool. What is so great about being an actress? It is exhausting and inconsistent, and you do not make much money.
Gavin didn’t dare to tell the truth.
If Madeline became an actress with her talent and looks, she would undoubtedly become popular.
In that case, more people would like her.
He had no idea what to do if that happened.
Madeline twitched her lips when she heard that. It was widely known that actor salaries were quite high.
“It seems like Gavvy is really wealthy. Actor salaries are nothing to him,” she mused
“How did you get so rich? You are acting so arrogant right now, she remarked.
Gavin smiled, but he did not mention that he had made a lot of money on the trip.
“Anyway, if you need to spend money, just use the supplementary card I gave you. You will never be able to spend it all, given your spending capacity. You are such a loser, even when it comes to spending money.”
“Who are you calling a loser? I will stop being polite if you keep saying that. You will have to bear the consequences when the tin comes, Madeline retorted.
“I am glad to spend money on
you.
. It makes me happy when you spend my money. Can’t I buy happiness with my own money?”
Madeline snorted and said, “It is Thanksgiving tomorrow. We will return to the mansion first thing tomorrow morning. Caleb and Nolan want to spend Thanksgiving with us.”
“Got it.”
“They are no longer young. Do they really seem to realize that children need to be given space to grow up.
y need to invite us over even
en on Thanksgiving? Can’t they give us a bit of freedom? They do not
On the day of Thanksgiving. Caleb’s mansion was not specially decorated and still appeared somewhat deserted.

Madeline Rot out of the car and saw no decorations at the entrance.
After walking in, she noticed that the gardener had already placed some pumpkins and squash along the road.
They looked quite nice.
“Greetings, Ms. Larson and Mr. Newton.” The housekeepers all stopped their activities and respectfully greeted the two of them.
Gavin walked behind Madeline, strolling leisurely into the mansion.
Yulissa and Hazel were busy in the kitchen.
Knowing that Madeline was coming that day, they had gotten up early to prepare a sumptuous meal.
When it was just Caleb in the past, he would not intentionally decorate the mansion for Thanksgiving and he might not even go there at all.
However, it was different that year. Although the housekeepers didn’t show it on their faces, they were all quite happy deep down.
They were all in a festive mood, despite their best efforts to appear unconcerned.
Hazel was baking piecaken in the kitchen when she said to Yulissa, “Mr. Simmons had specified that the piecaken should be filled with cranberry curd. Do you know why?”
Yulissa answered without hesitation, “Of course. It must be because Ms. Larson likes it. I have prepared a lot of cranberries. I am sure we can make a lot of cranberry plecakens.”
seems like everyone is aware of this,” Hazel remarked, raising her eyebrows.
They were both very busy in the kitchen. The beautifully baked piecakens were removed from the oven and placed on a plate while still hot.
Suddenly, there was a sound outside.
When Hazel looked out she noticed Madeline had returned.
She rushed out with a plate of piecaken, saying, “Ms. Larson, you are back. Enjoy some piecakens while they are still hot. These plecakens are best eaten while still hot
Madeline sat on the
on the couch and reached out to take a slice of piecaken from the coffee table.
Gavin quickly pulled her hand back. “You fool. They are still far too hot to be consumed.”
Madeline gently touched it with her fingertips and discovered that it was indeed too hot.
Hazel felt a bit apologetic. “Ms. Larson, I just took them out of the oven. Let me cut them into smaller pieces for you!”
is no
Hearing that, Madeline waved her hand. “It is fine. I will blow on it before eating. You guys carry on with your daily activities. There is need to be concerned about me.”
Hazel smiled cheerfully. “Okay, Ms. Larson. Please take a seat here. If you need anything, just call me.”
“Wait a minute. Where are Caleb and Nolan? How come I have not seen them at home?”
“They will return around noon for lunch. I am not exactly sure where they went.” Hazel quickly changed the topic. “Ms. Larson, do you prefer smoked turkey or roasted turkey?”
“Either is fine, Madeline replied.
“Then let us make a roasted turkey with chestnut stuffing. The chestnuts delivered today are the freshest. They are extremely soft and
sweet!”
As they were conversing, Yulissa brought over a plate of roasted chestnuts and said, “Ms. Larson, this is roasted chestnuts. Please try some. They came from a chestnut tree in the mansion’s corner. The gardener brought them over this morning”
“They were from the mansion?” Madeline was interested and picked one up to eat.
It was sweet and
fragrant.

“Gavvy, you should try some too. It is delicious.”
Gavin sat on the couch and uttered, “I will not eat unless you feed me.”
“Then do not eat it!” Madeline said sternly, pinching his arm.
Gavin took advantage of the situation and playfully leaned on her. “Ouch, that hurts! Maddie, you pinched me too hard.”
Madeline was rendered speechless.
After witnessing the somewhat awkward scene. Hazel walked away with a troubled expression.
“In contrast to Mr. Newton, who is so skilled at flirting with women, Mr. Simmons is too honest and straightforward,” she thought.
It would have been hard to believe if she had not seen it with her own eyes.
Nobody could stand Gavin’s flirting, she was certain of it..
Seeing Hazel shaking her head and sighing. Yulissa asked in confusion, “What’s wrong?
“I am feeling a sense of crisis for Mr. Simmons. I used to think Mr. Fisher was flirtatious enough, but now Mr. Newton is practically throwing himself at Ms. Larson! What should we do? If this continues, Mr. Simmons will be eliminated.”
“Stop being so nosy. What if Mr. Simmons only has familial love for Ms. Larson?” Yulissa warned.
“They are not even related by blood. What sort of familial love are you referring to? It has to be romantic love.” Hazel stomped her foot.
“If Mr. Simmons finds out about this, he will skin you alive, Yulissa commented, shaking her head.
“Whatever. When it comes to love, Mr. Simmons is such a hopeless case. He secretly misses Ms. Larson all the time, but he never takes any action. Humph! He is not going to stand a chance at this rate. After all, Ms. Larson is well–liked by men.”
Yulissa quickly put a hand over Hazel’s mouth. “What nonsense are you spewing? Do you want to die?”
Hazel quickly came to a realization. “You are right. I was just joking around and talking nonsense. Please don’t tell anyone or I will get in big trouble.”
“Don’t worry. With that mouth of yours, you will get into trouble sooner or later.”
Shortly afterward, Nolan came back.
The n
The moment Madeline saw Nolan, her brows arched with a smile. She had a piece of piecaken in her hand and was munching on it.
“Nolan,” she called out sweetly.
