When the Dead Still Call novel Chapter 318

Chapter 318: A Team That Stuns Everyone

From his vantage point off-screen, Marcelo couldn’t hold back his laughter—his younger brother’s antics were simply too ridiculous to ignore.

“Marcelo, what’s so funny?” Maxwell asked, sitting beside him with a concerned look. “Miguel and Gianna are stuck living in that shabby place, and you’re just laughing? Don’t you feel bad at all?”

But Marcelo’s laughter only grew louder. “Seriously, what did you expect? If you’re feeling so sorry, why didn’t you step up and volunteer to replace Miguel? Why not take her place on the show yourself?”

Maxwell hesitated, searching for an answer. “I…”

Marcelo cut him off with a smirk. “Feeling guilty now? Did you forget how Gianna set you up last time?”

He leaned in with a teasing grin. “Be honest—aren’t you secretly relieved you didn’t have to bring her along this time?”

Maxwell struggled to respond. “That wasn’t really her fault. Gianna didn’t mean to cause trouble.”

He still clung stubbornly to the belief that she had changed, despite all the mishaps that had occurred on his previous trips with her.

Marcelo scoffed coldly. “Ha. You’ve lost your mind. I tried warning you, but you just wouldn’t listen.”

He shrugged and decided to let Maxwell learn the hard way. Eventually, life would teach him some hard lessons.

Meanwhile, on the set, everyone had settled into their assigned lodgings, the buzz of activity calming as they prepared for the next part of the show.

After tidying up, the group made their way to the herbal cultivation base—a sprawling area filled with neat rows of vibrant green herbs stretching as far as the eye could see.

As they approached, the air was thick with the fresh, invigorating scent of herbs, a fragrance that seemed to promise vitality and health.

“Breathing this in feels like it could add years to your life,” Selena remarked with a warm smile, her eyes sparkling with genuine appreciation for the place.

Gianna rolled her eyes at the comment. What did an outsider like Selena really know? Gianna’s talent was singing, not herbs.

She had always resented Selena. If it hadn’t been for her and Amelia, Gianna’s lip-sync scandal might never have come to light.

Quietly, Gianna stepped aside and whispered into her earpiece, “We can start now.”

Yes, she was cheating, but to her, there was nothing wrong with it. Being able to cheat cleverly, without leaving any evidence, was a skill in itself.

On the other end, Regina immediately understood the signal. “Relax. I’m ready whenever you are.”
