When the Dead Still Call novel Chapter 122

Chapter 122 Couldn’t Look Away

Gianna secretly thought, I already put on my best pitiful, innocent act. Why didn’t Maxwell comfort

me?

The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she got, but she couldn’t throw a tantrum right now. All she could do was follow quietly while he got her ready for the next look.

Deep down, she still felt smug, already imagining how round two would turn out.

On the other side, Amelia was prepping too.

“Just like you guessed–someone messed with our outfit.”

Rocky frowned, holding up the dress. The damage was obvious–someone had done it on purpose.

Even if he wanted to fix it, there wasn’t nearly enough time.

Luckily, Amelia had thought ahead and warned him, so this wasn’t their only option for today.

They’d just made it look like it was the only one. Otherwise, this round could’ve ended in disaster.

“She’s really only good at these shady tricks. In everything else, she’s useless.” Amelia paused. “Well, except acting. She’s decent at that too.”

At the very least, Gianna managed to keep the Nygards wrapped around her finger.

“Let’s not worry about it for now. We’ll deal with her later. For now, focus on the contest.”

“Got it.”

They immediately put all their attention on the stage.

If they made a name for themselves here, the company’s future would be set.

The competition had three rounds, each with a different theme, Whoever scored the highest total would win first place.

The second round kicked off.

This time, Cianna went before Amelia. She chose a bold new angle–the sexy, confident “queen

bee” vibe.

She did exactly as Maxwell told her–chin up, shoulders back, full of confidence. She truly

believed she could own this look.

She also assumed Zoe had already sabotaged Amelia’s outfit, which meant Amelia wouldn’t even make it out for round two.

But then, Amelia appeared, and the audience lost it, cheering even louder than before. Gianna froze.

Amelia was dressed in a sultry, mature style–a sleek dress, smoky eyes, and glamorous waves. She radiated the energy of a strong, sophisticated woman.

Unlike her usual simple or bare–faced look, she wore a striking red lipstick.

It felt like seeing her for the first time. He’d always known she was pretty, but this? She was glowing, powerful, and absolutely captivating.

That was when it hit her.

Amelia had planned ahead–she must’ve prepared more than three outfits.

Crap. She saw through my little trick!

It’s obvious that I’ve lost this round!

Now Gianna wasn’t the only one panicking–Maxwell was too.

Finished

Even if they didn’t win first place, losing to his own sister and Rocky was a massive slap to his pride.

And then came round three. Gianna wore a retro–inspired look, but unfortunately for her, Amelia came out in a light, airy “fairy” style.

She’d chosen it deliberately, just to crush Gianna’s so–called “fairy princess” act once and for all.

Rocky dressed Amelia in a floaty chiffon gown, with delicate braids and soft makeup. She looked ethereal, like she’d stepped out of a dream.

The moment she walked out, all eyes locked on her magical, fairy–like presence.

And in the audience, Vincent couldn’t look away.
