When the Dead Still Call novel Chapter 311

Chapter 311: The Hidden Rivalry Begins

[Have you noticed? Jeremy and Amelia are both dressed in the same latest NNJR couple collection!]

[I’m almost certain they’re secretly dating. Can’t wait for them to make it official!]

The earlier sarcastic comments had vanished, replaced by excitement and delight flooding the livestream chat. Some viewers even sprinkled their messages with giggling emojis, clearly amused by the unfolding scene.

Jeremy approached Amelia with a confident stride. She glanced at him, curiosity sparkling in her eyes, and asked, “You like this brand’s athletic line too?”

He smiled effortlessly, matching her light tone without hesitation. “Yeah, what a coincidence—you like it as well?”

Then, leaning in close enough that only she could hear, he whispered softly, his voice low and deliberate. It was obvious he had planned this moment carefully. Knowing exactly what Amelia would wear on the show, he had made sure to coordinate his outfit to create this perfectly timed coincidence.

[Oh my gosh, look at them whispering!]

[They’re literally leaning in, like they’re sharing secrets. I’m dying to know what they’re saying!]

[They have to be a real couple, right? This is too much to be just a coincidence.]

Every eye on the livestream was glued to the pair, their chemistry undeniable.

Gianna, watching from the sidelines, felt a sharp sting of jealousy flare inside her. Let her have this moment, she thought bitterly. A mistress was still a mistress. Jeremy’s true fiancée was real and waiting.

That woman would have to step aside eventually.

In the end, Gianna knew there were only two choices for the other woman—either be discarded or remain hidden forever as a secret lover.

“Welcome, everyone, to our prime-time variety show. Let’s hope this journey will be an unforgettable one,” the host announced, stepping forward as the production team signaled the start.

“I’m sure everyone here already knows each other well, so there’s no need for lengthy introductions,” the host continued with a warm smile.

“Yeah, not only are we familiar with one another, but the audience at home definitely knows us too,” Jeremy added, his voice confident and relaxed.

Before the host could finish, Gianna eagerly grabbed the microphone, her eyes sparkling with mischief. She loved being the center of attention, always quick to jump in before anyone else could.

“Weren’t there supposed to be seven guests in total? Who’s the seventh guest?” she asked pointedly, her tone teasing yet sharp.

There were two mystery guests in total on the show. One was Jeremy himself. The other, however, had been added later and remained a secret.

Everyone watching was buzzing with curiosity—who could this final mystery guest be?

Fans flooded the chat with guesses, excitement bubbling over as they tried to predict the identity.

[Industry experts have fans too, you know? The research and pharma worlds have their own loyal followers.]

[Exactly. Bringing in an influential outsider could attract new viewers and give the show a real boost.]

The chat exploded once more as guesses flew back and forth about the final guest’s identity.

Amelia and the others were just as curious. They all wanted to know who the producers had invited.

Victor, the producer, had kept the mystery intact to capture genuine reactions, so even the guests themselves were left in the dark.

None of them had been told who the final guest was.

But Gianna had a strong feeling.

Anyone revealed only after filming began—like Jeremy—had to be someone important.

And since this person had been added after the official lineup was announced, she was even more convinced she knew exactly who it was.

That little stunt I pulled in sommelier class actually paid off, she thought, a smug smile curling her lips.

If it really is who I think it is, let’s see how long Amelia can keep smiling and pretending to stay calm.
