My Repentant Brothers (Madeline Larson) novel Chapter 348

Chapter 348 

Madeline knew Lucas had decent resources in the company, but that’s all they were–just decent. 

A minor celebrity who gets too full of themselves is bound to fall. Don’t try to negotiate with your agency. If they put you on hold, there are plenty of others ready to step in. The entertainment industry is never short on attractive people. 

“But…” 

“Stop nagging, it’s really annoying,” Madeline frowned. 

Lucas fell silent, not daring to speak. His sister could be fierce, but that seemed normal. 

But seriously, Madeline handled those two really well today. 

At the hospital, as soon as Rose woke up, she felt uncomfortable everywhere. Her body ached… it felt like it was being torn 

apart. 

She felt strange, rubbed her forehead, caught the smell of disinfectant, and realized she was lying in a hospital. 

“How did I end up in the hospital?” she asked, confused. “Wasn’t I just at the restaurant? Then I drank too much…” 

Suddenly, some hard–to–describe images flashed through her mind, and her face went pale with shock as her hands started to tremble uncontrollably. ‘Did she really end up with Farrell and his people…?‘ she wondered. 

“Rose,” the nurse came over to check on her. “You’re awake? I’ve already contacted the police. They’re coming to take your statement. Is that alright with you?” 

The nurse’s eyes had a hint of something unusual in them, but her professional demeanor kept her from showing much expression. 

People were whispering and pointing at the doorway. 

“Isn’t that Rose? I told you I saw her being brought here. I heard those guys were real creeps, and she was bleeding heavily when they brought her in…” 

“That’s really frightening, isn’t it? Wow, some people will do anything to become famous.” 

“Let’s take a picture as proof. My boyfriend really likes her, says she’s all pure and innocent, but isn’t she just fake?” 

Rose held onto her blanket, her eyes showing fear. “Close the door!“” 

The nurse went over and shut the door, leaving Rose alone in the room. 

Rose felt chill run through her body. “No way, I wouldn’t do that. How could I get involved with such disgusting people? Why did this happen?” 

Rose grabbed her head in pain, low sobs coming from her throat. 

Her phone was nearby, but it was turned off. Rose didn’t dare to touch it. She was afraid… afraid that she’d be bombarded with insults as soon as she turned it on! 

Rose vaguely remembered the door of the booth being closed, then those filthy men coming towards her, hands everywhere, some even holding bottles… 

At that time, her mind was foggy, and she couldn’t tell who was who. It was an earth–shattering tragedy for her! She didn’t dare to recall it; every memory made her nauseous. 

Her acting career was destroyed; everybody knew about it. Even if others weren’t aware, the police had all seen the surveillance footage she had prepared in advance. 

“Ah!” Rose broke down completely, “Why is it like this, why? It was supposed to be Madeline, why is it me?” she cried, confused and upset. 

“Knock, knock, knock,” the door opened and two female officers walked in.

Chapter 348 

They were all business, with serious expressions, holding notebooks. “Hello, Rose, we need your cooperation. We have some questions to ask you.” 

‘I’m innocent, I’m the victim! You need to help me, help clear my name, and bring those scumbags to justice!” Rose nearly spat out the words, filled with anger and frustration from what she had suffered. How dare they? she thought. 

“I was drugged…” Rose bit her lip, closing her eyes as tears rolled down her cheeks, looking both humiliated and innocent. 

If the police hadn’t seen the video and chat logs, they might have been fooled by her pathetic appearance. “Describe what happened, and we’ll make our own judgment. You were reported this afternoon for organizing a make prostitution gathering. If you don’t explain clearly, you might get arrested for it.” 

“What?” Rose’s eyes widened in disbelief. “No, that’s not true, how could that be?” 

She couldn’t figure out who reported it, but the only person she could think of was Madeline. ‘If Madeline hadn’t been aware ahead of time, she wouldn’t have left early or avoided the drug’s effects. So, was this Madeline’s scheme to set me up?‘ she thought. 

“I’m truly innocent. You can test my blood to detect the presence of drugs…” 

“But… there’s a purchase record of this drug under your name, and it’s found in both your bag and Chloe’s bag, in divided doses. Can you explain that?” the person said, seated on a stool, rapidly jotting down notes with a pen. 

Rose kept silent. If she admitted she was trying to set up Madeline, what would happen then? It would probably only make things worse… 

“Will this be reported?”
