When the Dead Still Call novel Chapter 147

Chapter 147 I Want More People to Notice Your Work

With hardly any money spent on advertising, Jeremy’s show was practically a hit before it even aired.

That really got under Marcelo’s skin, who also had a new show waiting to be aired.

“Hmph, how much longer can Mr. Curran really help her? When he gets bored and dumps her, let’s see what she has left to rely on.

“After all, my brothers and I, and even Dad and Mom, all want nothing to do with her anymore.”

Gianna sounded pretty carefree, but inside, she was really upset.

She’d thought that after she stole Amelia’s man, her brothers, and even her parents, that bitch would be completely miserable and crying every day.

She never expected that even after everything, Amelia could still turn things around and bounce back!

Still, Gianna comforted herself by thinking Jeremy was just temporarily interested in Amelia.

For Gianna, a man like Jeremy was way out of her league, and she didn’t dare to dream about being Mrs. Curran. Amelia had even less of a chance.

She figured that when Jeremy finally lost interest in Amelia, she would get tossed aside and end up a total wreck. She was simply waiting for the day she could gloat.

Just thinking about it made Gianna feel a lot better.

She didn’t bother with Lina and went off to find Maxwell.

Even though Lina was already used to Gianna’s brazen behavior by now, her arrogance still made Lina uncomfortable.

But with big–name stars like Gianna, who had a powerful family behind them, Lina just had to put up with it.

When Gianna reached Maxwell’s office, she had already put on her sweet, innocent little–sister

act.

“Maxwell, did you see all the behind–the–scenes clips and trending topics about Amelia’s show?”

“Yeah, I saw them. That was a script we tossed aside. It’s a pretty niche show, and even a great director can’t change that.”

Maxwell wasn’t worried. He believed the Nygard Group’s upcoming show–an adaptation of a bestselling book directed by a well–known director–would easily come out on top.

With support from the original fans and the appeal of the youth drama genre, he figured their show would blow the competition away.

“I think so too. Maxwell, don’t worry. I’ll work hard and not let Amelia look down on me.”

Gianna sounded all fired up and spirited.

She then casually added, “But since I’m the lead in a trendy idol show, I think I should have a few more outfits.”

She just couldn’t accept that Amelia, the second female lead, had more and even fancier costumes than she did.

When he said that, Gianna’s eyes reddened as she put on a hurt look.

She knew he was still upset about what happened during the last Popular Model Contest.

So she had been extra sweet with Maxwell lately.

She looked at him with admiration and total trust, and he softened instantly.

As expected, Maxwell couldn’t help but give in after hearing her sugarcoated words.

“If you want a few more new outfits, that’s doable, since you’re the lead.”

“After all, in a trendy youth drama, the heroine should look fashionable and the visuals should be gorgeous. It would definitely make a difference.”

“Exactly, Maxwell, that’s what I’m thinking! It’s good for your brand, and it will make the show look classy.

“Who knows what tricks Amelia used to get Mr. Curran as an investor. Their show probably only looks that good because they spent so much money on it.”

Gianna’s comments weren’t just meant to flatter and persuade Maxwell–they were also subtle jabs, hinting that Amelia must have used underhanded means to get close to Jeremy.
