Revenge Of The Rogue Heiress novel Chapter 3

Chapter

All members of the Gallagher family bore very dark expressions

Why us? Why’d we get stuck with Evangeline of all people? Edward grumbled

Mom, Dad, she flipped 30% of our business to the rivals. We can’t let this slideJasper put in 

George ribbed his forchead. She didn’t come back with us. She’s got Arthur’s muscle watching her back. She’s ghosting our calls. We can’t even get to her. What now

Meghan chewed on her lip and glanced at Edward. Eddie, she’s under contract with your label. You’re her boss. Can’t you make her listen?” 

I can give her work, that’s about it, said Edward 

Then, like a light bulb turning on, Samson piped up. That’s it We might not get those shares back, and we can’t mess with her if Arthur’s got her covered. But workthere’s a way to get even with her through that!” 

They all leaned in to hear Samson’s scheme

Samson had a sneaky idea. Hey, isn’t Meghan about to do a wilderness survival programEddie, you gotta make Evangeline join, but trick her into signing a contract, We’ll make her look bad and Meghan look like a star. The viewers will totally back Meghan and give Evangeline a tough time online 

Edward was on board. That could work. There’s another gal from my label on the show I’ll bump her for Evangeline” 

With their plan in place. Edward borrowed a phone and called Evangeline. Evangeline’s voice was icy when she picked up. HelloIt’s me, Eddie. Just hear me out. We need to talk business,Edward said 

Evangeline remembered the fiveyear deal she’d signed with Edward’s company after Meghan had pulled her into showbiz. Only one year down, four to go. She’d owe 20 million dollars for each year left if she bailed on the deal. In other words, she needed to pay Edward 80 million dollars to terminate the contract. Man, I should’ve asked for more money when I split from George, she thought

So, whats the gig?” she asked, getting impatient

You’ll join Meghan on a wilderness survival program,” Edward told her. Your job is to give Meghan a hard time and keep her name out there.” 

Evangeline laughed, Sure, I’ll go on the show, but forget about bullying Meghan. That wasn’t in my contract” 

Edward was ticked. You want me to block your career?” 

Do it Money’s not a problem. I’ll be fine even if you block me, she shot back coolly 

YouEdward was livid

Evangeline thought for a sec and made her own play. I’ll do your show, But afterward, we’re done. You drop the contract, no fines. Edward did not agree immediately

If you leave me hanging after the show, get slammed online, and I won’t be worth anything. Evangeline pushed, still casual

Edward thought it over and decided she had a point. Fine,” he said. “Unblock me and I’ll send the details” 

First, I want it in writing. Once the show’s taped, we’re through Evangeline demanded

Grinding his teeth, Edward caved

The next day, Edward sent over two contracts. One for the show, where she’d play the bad girl to make Meghan look good. The other was her ticket out. Evangeline checked the contracts at a law firm, signed, and goi tiem notarized

At home, she did her homework on the showa fresh series with livestreaming. Other than that, all she had were the director’s name and the show’s theme. With that, she hit the stores to stock up on survival gadgets, just in case. Better safe than sorry. In any case, she was already prepared. If the director forbade her from bringing anything in she could just hand it over in them. She also ramped up her workouts

In no time, the day of the shoot rolled around

Hauling a big suitcase, she let the bodyguards take her to the spot the production team had picked out in the heart of the city. When everyone had shown up, they all piled into a van the production team had set up and took off for the set

Pulling up, Evangeline saw the rest of the crew had been waiting a bit. Edward, you makeľ Evangeline cursed inwardly. He’d told her to be there by ten. It was only nine thirty, and everyone was already there. That guy’s setting me up, and the show hasn’t even started? she gritted to herself. 

Chapter

Lugging a huge suitcase. Evangeline walked up to where everyone was hanging out. She sported a funky green stan hat that was so big, it almost hid her whole head. The hat wasn’t exactly stylish, but it definitely kept the sun away

She had on a dark green windbreaker, black cargos, and some tough hiking boots. She even had a hiking pale in hand

The rest of the group, three guys and two other girls, were already there, all dressed to impress. Meghan was rocking a white dress and super high 

heels 

Jolene Zielinski, from some girl band, wasn’t glammed up like Meghan but still looked pretty in pink, with her own pair of heels to match

As for the guys, there 

the big shot actor Kendrick Dixon Alist celebrity Travis Powell, and, oh brother, Evangeline’s own pain in the neck, Samson. Evangeline was like. Why’s he even here? Samson joined the showbiz to keep an eye on Meghan and Evangeline thought he couldn’t help tagging along this time too. For Meghan, he was indeed a good brother

Who’s that ninja under the big hat?Jolene asked, giving Evangeline the sideeye

Evangeline flipped up her hat brim to show her face, no makeup and all, yet still dropdead gorgeous

The livestream was already buzzing. When Evangeline jumped into view, the chat went wild

[Man, I thought the last person would be somebody huge! It’s juu drama queen Evangeline. She’s such a showoff, making everyone wait for her like that

[How can she be so full of herself? Think she owns the place or what

[LOL, what’s with the giant suitcase? She moving in?

[Gross. She thinks she’s cooler than everyone with that getup. So sneaky!

[Seriously, she’s got a whole Tm so prepared vibe going on What a showod!

[Why her? Doesn’t the director know that Devil Evangeline framed Meghan three months ago? Does the production team have a grudge against Meghan! So they mised this snake to continue hamming Meghan?

[Three months ago, Devil Evangeline failed to hurt Meghan bus harmed herself instead. This time, she’d better behave and stop hurting Meghan or she’ll suffer the consequences of her actions

Evangeline dragged her suitcase and walked to the guests

Meghan smiled at Evangeline and said gently. Evangeline, you’re finally here. We’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Let’s bury the hatchet and get along for the show. Ahr 

Evangeline didn’t waste any time. She just walked over and gave Meghan a nudge that sent her stumbling in those crazy heels

Evangeline turned to Meghan. I like this spot. It’s shady. You don’t mind, rightShe flashed a sly grin. I’m already acting as requested as soon as I arrived on sel How professional of me, Evangeline thought

Samson immediately helped Meghan up and glared daggers at Evangeline. You’ve gone too far, Evangeline 

Meghan pulled Samson back and shook her head at him. As if holding back, the uttered, Don’t blame Evangeline. She didn’t mean it. I was the one who lost my balance” 

[What the hell! Evangeline blatantly kicked Meghan. She went too far. She’s doing it on purpose. Won’t the production team do anything

[Devil Evangeline should quit the production

[Meghan is too
