When the Dead Still Call novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119 Washed–up Stylist

The message couldn’t have been clearer–Gianna just didn’t want Zoe hanging around.

“Alright, I’ll head over. Catch you later.”

Zoe wasn’t clueless, but she decided to pull back for now. She figured she could keep up the fake “besties” act some other time.

Meanwhile, fans glued to the livestream started flooding the chat again.

[Our little angel looks stunning! And her brother? So handsome and classy. The outfits he designed for her are unreal.]

[This style fits her so perfectly, it’s like she was born to be on stage. No doubt she’s ranking high this time!]

[And that other girl? Please. She’s a nobody trying to grab attention, even shamelessly flirting with our angel’s brother.]

Gianna’s supporters weren’t about to let that slide.

They were smaller in number, but aggressive and loud, firing shots right back.

[Your angel? Don’t kid yourselves. She only has buzz because of family ties. There’s nothing impressive about her.]

[Exactly. So what if her brother makes clothes? That doesn’t make her special. ‘Born to be on stage?‘ What a joke.]

[And calling Zoe a fame chaser? Look at Gianna! If it weren’t for her brother, no one would care about her. She’s just a foster kid.]

[Remember that variety show? She got completely outshone by the real Ms. Nygard. If it wasn’t for the Nygards scrubbing her image, she’d already be irrelevant.]

The chat exploded into a messy back–and–forth, insults flying nonstop, with some even dragging family members into it.

In the audience, Patience watched the drama on her phone’s stream, a smirk tugging at her lips,

Wow, his girl sure knows how to stir up buzz.

The contest hasn’t even started yet, and she’s already managed to make herself the center of attention backstage.

But that doesn’t matter–real talent always breaks through.

Amelia is proof of that.

Even seated all the way at the edge of the stage, Amelia’s presence was impossible to ignore.

With no heavy makeup, just natural beauty and a jaw–dropping gown, she instantly caught the eyes of countless viewers tuning in online.

The chat flipped in seconds, shifting straight to admiration.

[Whoa, who is she? She’s insanely pretty!]

[Oh, I know her–that’s the real Ms. Nygard, not that foster sister.]

That woman really is stunning.

Finished

She’d always seen Amelia barefaced and hardly dressed up. She never expected her to look this breathtaking once styled.

Rocky’s her stylist. He’s just a cast–off junior designer from the Nygard Entertainment. How could someone like him possibly pull off such a flawless look?

Gianna’s chest tightened with unease.

She saw Maxwell still looking cool and confident, so she bit her tongue, not daring to dampen his mood.

But inside, panic churned.

What if… No, I can’t let that happen.

She’s just lucky, Gianna told herself over and over. Rocky is a reject, a washed–up stylist who happened to get it right this one time!
