Revenge Of The Rogue Heiress novel Chapter 4

Chapter

Pulling up to the river after a long three hours, everyone piled out of the vihecles right next to a mini cruise ship

Dallas, the director, holler through his loudspeaker, Time to hop on the boat and disch all your phones and gadgets with your peeps. They ain’t coming with you

Evangeline, rolling solo without any crew, held out her phone. No one is around me. Can you keep my phone safe, Mr. Fowler!” 

Dallas snagged her phone and popped it in a metal box. Then, he asked the staff member for a tool and had the box welded shut on the spot

Don’t sweat it,” he grinned at Evangeline. It’s safe from sticky fingers. We’ll crack it open after the shoot” 

This measure aimed to reassure the guests and avoid potential risks for the production team. If any star’s secrets got spilled while they were off the grid, fingers would point at the TV folks. So locking up phones was a winwin

Evangeline shoots Dallas the thumbs up

Samson chucked his phone at Dallas too. Make sure mine’s locked up good.” 

Meghan handed over her phone, batting her lashes. Stick mine in with Sam’s. Save a box, you know?” 

The other three guests followed suit and gave their phones to Dallas, none of them keen on their people snooping through their secrets, Secrets too juicy for even their own families to know. Naturally, they refused to let their managers and assistants find out. They were worried that their managers or assistants would take the opportunity to sneak through their phones. Hence, the safest option would be to hand Dallas their phones and have them locked in a box

After Dallas bolted all the pho 

away, everyone’s names got slapped on their box

Then, the whole gangsix celebs and camera crewset sail. Left on the dock were a bunch of managers and assistants waving byebye

The boat pushed through the water for a solid five hours before they hit this wicked old jungle with bushes as tall as a basketball hoop on stilts 

They dock and roll out onto some grassy flat spot. Everyone’s eyeballing the joint like it just grew three heads

This place is a hot mess,” groaned Travis, nose all wrinkled up Are we crashing here for a whole week?” 

Jolene’s jaw dropped. You mean we’re actually doing this survival thing for real? It’s like the moon, but with trees?” 

Meghan and Samson weren’t feeling it either

Though Kendrick remained silent, his displeasure was evident, apparently unsatisfied with the filming location

Evangeline! Cool as a cucumber. She was already casing the joint for survival tips

Hearing their complaints, Dallas chuckled. I made the rules clear on the contract. It’s stated that you’ll survive for seven days in an undeveloped oldgrowth forest, I wasn’t joking. However since none of you have wilderness survival experience, we let loose some farm animals for you to chow down on. Enjoy the hunt!” 

Ewe, like dead or what?Meghan piped up, clueless 

In response, Dallas said, Alive. Dead stuff would go bad in no time flat,” 

Meghan was shocked. Alive? So, we have to kill them ourselves? That’s too cruel. I can’t even deal” 

Evangeline, never one to miss a chance for a jab, spoke up. Says the girl with the croc skin bag. Save it. How’s that any different!” 

Meghan’s face flushed red as she glared at Evangeline angrily. Although Evangeline had signed a contract to target Meghan to deliberately put her in the spotlight and evoke sympathy from viewers, Meghan thought Evangeline could’ve done it differently How am I supposed to explain myself?she wondered. Her face reddened, she elucidated, It’s faux Fake croc, all right?: 

Evangeline wore a half smile as she remarked. For real! Last I checked, that brand was all about the real deal. You saying they’re selling fakes now?” 

Meghan was flustered. No, 1- 

Evangeline didn’t let her finish. She turned to the camera like she was chatting with an old friend. Anyone from the fancy bag company watchingt You got some explaining to do. If you’re peddling faux as real, that’s a nono,” 

Meghan was super stressed, her hands balled up into fists as she tried to stay cool. She was rocking a bag from a huge fancy brand, and if she messed up in front of them, no way would they want her to rep their stuff again. Especially since they’d just made her their goto girl to show off

their gear. She had to keep their name looking good, or elsieshe’d have to pay up for any had buzz

The livestream chat was popping off. Did y’all see that Meghan’s faking it! She’s the face of that fancy bag brand. She’s actually lying!

[What a show! She’s carrying a crocodile skin bag, yet gets upset over animals getting hurt? Talk about playing both sides.

[Stop slandering Meghan. Her endorsements are arranged by her company. It’s not like she has a say in any of this

[Meghan is kind and lovely, but Evangeline is targeting her. I pity her

[Can Evangeline disappear? She’s always bullying Meghan!

[Let’s blacklist Evangeline!

[Evangeline is deliberately targeting Meghan. Don’t be misled, guys!

That live chat was blowing up. Everyone was gabbing about Meghan being twofaced while some had her back, saying Evangeline was just being 

mean for no reason

Samson was super annoyed with Evangeline. Hey, why are you always on Meghan’s case! What did she even 

do to 

make you hate her so much?” 

Evangeline snorted, “Please, you know exactly why she bugs me.” 

Samson got really mad, You

But Meghan tugged at his sleeve, whispering Chill, Sam. Maybe Evangeline’s just having a rough time with her frizzy hair. If picking on me makes her happy, let her be.” 

Samson sighed. You’re too nice, Meghan, Wish she could be a bit like you.” 

Evangeline pretended to barf, Cross. Save me from that fake niceness. If Lever turn into Meghan, I’d just lose it.” 

That got Meghan really fired up. She shot Evangeline a look that could cut through steel

Samson was so ticked off he could barely talk, shaking a finger at Evangeline 

If you point that finger at me again, I might just snap it,” Evangeline threatened, icecall. If you po 

Sensing her apparent hostility, Samson backed off real quick, refraining from provoking her further 

The netizens once again erupted into chans. [Evangeline’s got some serious attitude! Bet she’s even worse offcamera. Sheesh!

[How pity! Why’s somebody like that even fimous? She needs a timeoudi

[How could she diss Samson like that? She’s crossed the line

I’m done with Evangeline. Not watching anything she’s in ever again!

The netizens engaged in heated debate

Dallas saw everyone getting all heated and stepped in Knock it off. You gotta stick together for a week, so cool it. It’s gening dark, and you’ve got to prep for dinner soon.” 

Can’t we just crash on the cruise ship?Jolene asked, kinda clueless 

Dallas shook his head. Nope. No cruise ship till we’re done with the shoot.” 

That news! Not exactly music to their cars. Are we actually gonna sleep in the woods? How’s that gonna work? they all thought, but nobody said a word cause the cam was still rolling 

Meghan jumped in, Let’s hustle and get stuff done like Mr. Fowler said. We don’t want to hit the hay on an empty stomach or sleep with no tent” 

Heads nodded all around

How about we team up?Meghan suggested. We’re all newbies to this wildthing. We’ll do bener together than alone

“I’m inSamson agreed right away

Tin down.” Jolene pitched in

Yeah, let’s team up,” Travis chimed

I’m cool with teaming but count me out if it’s with Evange 

Evangelne,” Kendrick laid it out 

Afraid he might be on the same team as Evangeline, Travis jumped in quick, Me neither. No teams with her.” 

After watching Evangeline go after Meghan and Samson, no one wanted to be her next target. Plus, any drama with Evangeline, and they’d all ger dragged into the spotlight

Samson was like. I got Meghan’s back. She’s on my team,”
