When the Dead Still Call novel Chapter 315

315 Hidden Motives and Rising Sparks

Her posture was poised and elegant, her fair, flawless skin glowing softly under the afternoon sun. The calm arch of her brows gave off an air of cool detachment that set her apart from the farmwives laboring tirelessly in the fields nearby. There was a natural grace about her that couldn’t be ignored, a quiet confidence that made her stand out like a delicate flower in a rough garden.

“So the other mystery guest is Ms. Jordan? What a coincidence,” Gianna exclaimed, her voice bubbling with excitement as she caught sight of her. It was as if she could barely contain the thrill of seeing the woman she had suspected would show up actually appear before her eyes.

Yes, it was really her.

Gianna’s heart raced with anticipation. Her intuition had been spot on—this woman had indeed come.

Unable to keep her enthusiasm in check, Gianna quickly made her way over to greet her, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. Finally, she wasn’t the only one with Amelia in her sights.

“Mm, quite the coincidence,” Sabrina replied smoothly, her voice calm and measured. As the crew approached, she ceased her conversation with the villagers and turned her attention toward the camera and the host standing nearby.

Her gaze briefly skimmed past Jeremy—a casual, almost indifferent glance that betrayed nothing.

“Hey, Sabrina, want to team up?” Gianna asked warmly, using her name as if they were old friends.

“You probably don’t know yet, but we’ve already picked our teams. I’m with Vincent and Miguel,” Gianna said, pride evident in her tone.

“Amelia’s teamed up with Mr. Curran,” she added, then quickly tacked on, “Oh, and Selena, too.”

Gianna’s words seemed casual, but beneath the surface, she was carefully planting subtle reminders that Amelia and Jeremy were paired together. Enemy of my enemy, right?

If she and Sabrina ended up on the same team, they could target Amelia together. That would be perfect.

Even better if the two women began competing for Jeremy’s attention. The drama would be delicious—and it would shatter Amelia’s carefully crafted reputation.

After all, Amelia was the homewrecker here, while Sabrina was Jeremy’s official fiancée.

Sabrina could play that role flawlessly.

Back in the sommelier class, when Amelia and Jeremy had been mentioned, Sabrina had appeared entirely unfazed.

Gianna hadn’t even been sure Sabrina would agree to join the show.

Ha. She had clearly underestimated her.

For Jeremy, Sabrina still came running.

“Gianna’s right,” the host interjected smoothly. “We’ve already completed the first round of team selection. Ms. Jordan, you have the option to join either side—or you can invite anyone you want to team up with one-on-one.”

The host’s voice was steady, explaining the rules and laying out the choices clearly. Victor and the crew were clearly hoping Sabrina would choose someone directly, as that would generate far more buzz than simply joining an existing team.

No matter who she picked, it would make headlines.

That was far better than just siding with Gianna or Amelia.
