When the Dead Still Call novel Chapter 276

Right now, Gianna was freaking out.

:

Was Miguel blind? Couldn’t he see what was going on? Why was he rushing her?

He was never this eager to learn before. This wasn’t even his field–she could explain it a hundred times, and he still wouldn’t get it.

“So, are you ready now?” Miguel asked, sounding a little exasperated.

Everyone was waiting on her. She’d just explained everything so smoothly a moment ago— what else was there to prepare?

Gianna was both anxious and annoyed, sweat forming on her forehead.

She opened her mouth, but her throat felt tight. Not a single word came out.

“Uh, I’ll start now, so listen up!” she blurted, forcing a shaky smile.

She repeated the line mainly to remind Regina to jump in and help her out—but on the other end, there was nothing. Silence.

“Alright, alright, I get it. Go ahead. You’ve said that line three times already,” Amelia said, grinning in mock amusement.

Her tone dripped with sarcasm, fueling everyone’s doubts about Gianna.

Sure enough, the experts and managers began looking at her suspiciously.

“Ms. Gianna, don’t be nervous. You did great just now,” one of them said kindly. “Just go over it again, maybe in more detail this time.”

“Yeah,” another added. “Especially that part about the cultivation process. I didn’t quite catch that. And also the part where you mentioned…”

One by one, the group chimed in, all waiting for her to elaborate,

Her proposal and ideas sounded great, but there was something hollow about them, like theories that only worked on paper.

After thinking it over, they realized everything she’d said was just surface–level—a rough framework and direction at best.

The key details and actual steps of the process were never clearly explained at all.

The silence grew heavier, pressing down on Gianna like a weight she couldn’t shake off.

Amelia watched her with a sly half–smile, her eyes sharp enough to cut through Gianna’s act.

“Gianna, if you really can’t do it, don’t force yourself,” she said.

Seeing her like that, Miguel felt a wave of unease. His tone turned cold without him even realizing it.

Not bad, Amelia thought smugly. All those late nights coding that special app had paid off–it could block any communication she wanted in an instant.

It was obvious Gianna had someone feeding her answers before. Otherwise, how could she have solved problems that even experts struggled with?

No doubt Regina had been helping her behind the scenes.

Maybe Regina hadn’t figured out the full solution herself, or maybe she’d been afraid Gianna would fumble the explanation–so she’d kept everything vague.

Now Amelia had cut off the signal at the perfect moment–right when Gianna thought she was invincible.

She wondered how Gianna was going to keep pretending to be all that now.

Gianna’s face went ghostly pale. She had no idea what went wrong. Panic swallowed her whole, her mind completely blank.

Regina had told her the communication tech was top–grade and interference–proof. She was supposed to be able to reach her anytime, anywhere. So why isn’t it working now?
