When the Dead Still Call novel Chapter 193

pter 193 The Reversal

People couldn’t help comparing.

But some things just don’t survive a side–by–side.

Same style, same kind of voice–yet the choreography Gianna put on herself looked painfully ordinary.

There was even a hint of awkwardness and hesitation, the kind of going–through–the–motions. you can spot a mile away.

Stack that against Isabel Bluefield’s routine–same vibe, same vocal color–and the results were night and day.

Yes, Isabel’s specialty was ballet, but her foundation was rock–solid, and she could handle any style with ease.

That kind of comparison didn’t just sting; it was an insult.

The slap came fast and a little too hard, and Gianna’s fans were still rubbing their cheeks.

For the moment, they honestly didn’t know how to clap back.

In the fan chats, some people started feeling helpless.

One after another began wondering if they’d backed the wrong idol.

To them, it felt like no amount of boosting would help. It was like she was beyond saving.

Selena’s work really was that good, and with Isabel stepping in, it was impossible to ignore.

Plenty even started to suspect maybe Selena was the true original vocal–or that she’s simply surpassed the original now.

They couldn’t say it outright, but their opinions were starting to shift.

It was already pretty obvious where this was going, but Gianna’s die–hard loyalists still refused to accept it. They dug in, unwilling to admit they’d picked the wrong favorite.

So, they jumped back out again.

[There’s no comparison to be made. Gianna’s tracks are from years ago–different fashion sense, different tech. You can’t measure them against today.]

[Copying is copying. You’ll never top the original.]

[If the original hadn’t provided the inspiration, Selena wouldn’t exist as she does now. She should be grateful and admit she copied!]

The nasty comments kept coming like a tidal surge, and anyone with sense stayed on the sidelines, watching the show instead of wading in.

People guessed back and forth about who would come out on top–or whether both sides were secretly collabing for a win–win.

Right when the speculation peaked, Amelia dropped a fresh “bomb.”

Just past midnight, her team pushed out one piece of explosive evidence after another online.

Night owls were instantly wide awake.

Before the sun even came up, the late–night scrollers were already losing their minds.

And when the rest of the world woke up and saw it, things went nuclear.

But it wasn’t the family’s roof catching fire–it was Nygard Entertainment’s.

Let them bask for a bit–then hit them with a real, hard flip.

Gianna’s voice was so off–key to the point a screaming hog might sound better–pure ear

torture.

It wasn’t just her “singing” that got aired out. Snippets of their internal conversations surfaced, too, including a recording between Maxwell and Selena.

“Selena, unless you want to breach your contract and pay a fortune in damages, you’ll do what the company tells you.

“You can’t show your face or debut under your own name, but ghost–singing for Gianna still proves your value.

“Don’t worry, you’ll get every cent you’re due. You do what you’re told.”

Each audio clip that played was a total shocker–completely blowing everyone’s mind.

There were plenty of shameless people out there, but this was next–level.

Everyone had heard whispers about Nygard Entertainment’s dirtier moves.

Forget industry insiders–anyone watching them closely could smell the smoke.

But to be this brazen, fooling the public for years? That’s not just shameless. That’s outrageous.
