Rogue

Evangeline observed for a while and concluded that it would take at least thirty minutes before the cruise ship could dock from that distance.

She went to Jolene and the others and gently nudged them with her foot

Jolene rubbed her eyes and asked with a tired face, “Evangeliner What’s wrong?”

Evangeline pointed at the river. Look at what’s over there.”

Jolene had just woken up, so her sight was blurry.

She reached out and rubbed her eyes. When she looked again, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she stood up abruptly,

“The cruise ship is coming! Is it the cruise ship of the production team? This is great! The production team finally remembers us and comes to pick us up!” Jolene was so excited that she kept hopping on the spo

Kendrick and Travis were equally excited to see the cruise ship.

They ran quickly to the riverbank and waved in the direction of the cruise ship.

At such a long distance, the people on the cruise ship might not be able to see them, but they still waved their hands excitedly.

Instead of joining them, Evangeline turned and went into the forest

She was hungry, so she wanted to get something to est

Even if the production team came, it would not stop her from looking for food.

Moreover, the monkeys had not recovered yet. She wanted to check on them and see if the yellow–throated marten were really gone instead of returning secretly.

After Evangeline left, Meghan and Samson also saw the cruise ship in the distance.

They were equally happy and excited.

Soon, a trace of panic appeared on Meghan’s face.

She grabbed Samson’s hand tightly and said with a pale face, “Samson, the production team is here. What should I do? A few days ago, I lost control of my emotions from stress, so my personality changed, and I fell out with Jolene and the others. If they said bad things about me in front of the camera and exposed my behavior, wouldn’t it tarnish my reputation! If Evangeline said that, I could deny it and call it slander because her reputation is already bad since before, and before the production team left, she had been mean to me. However, Kendrick and Travis are different. They have many fans and a good reputation. If they also claim me problematic, the audience will definitely listen to them. This would affect my reputation Sam, I don’t want to be scolded and have my reputation tarnished

Samson patted her on the shoulder and comforted. “Don’t worry. Let’s talk to them and tell them not to talk nonsense

Meghan bit her lips. “What if they disagree? They have received benefits from Evangeline, so they would certainly take her side!”

Samson frowned, seemingly in deep thought,

Meghan’s eyes darkened. She lowered her voice and said, “Sam, I have an idea”

“What is it?” Samson asked.

Meghan said, “We can say that Evangeline, Jolene, Kendrick, and Travis had sex with each other while the production team was away, so they defended Evangeline because they slept with her! You are Evangeline’s biological brother, so the audience will believe you. It would be useless even if they deny it!”

Samson’s expression changed, and he shook his head hurriedly. “No way, Evangeline will get cyberbullied”

Meghan bit her lips and said sadly, “If you don’t say so, I will be the one targeted instead! Do you think Evangeline’s reputation is more important than mine! Would you rather watch me get cyberbullied instead of Evangeline? Did you lie about loving me?”

“No,” Samson denied quickly.

However, Meghan seemed unwilling to listen to his explanation and cried sadly, “I don’t want to listen to your denial. I knew it. We are not blood- related, so you won’t treat me like your real sister, whatever good I do. You care about Evangeline more, regardless of her cruelty. If only I knew earlier, I wouldn’t have saved you that night and should’ve let you die of illness in front of Evangeline” You adore her, so you won’t have regrets if you die of illness before her!”

Samson was upset at Evangeline again once Meghan brought up his illness.

He could not forget how Evangeline had not helped him. She ignored and was indifferent to him.

Samson gritted his teeth and said fiercely, “Evangeline doesn’t treat me as her brother and doesn’t care about my life, so I can ignore hers, too! Meghan, I accept your proposal and will do as you say. If they dare to help Evangeline speak ill of you, I will claim that they have an affair!”

In his mind, this was not his fault. It was Evangeline’s for being indifferent and mean to Meghan

If Evangeline had offered Meghan food and been friendly to them from the beginning Meghan would not have changed from stress.

At least Meghan remained kind, but Evangeline lost all conscience.

There was nothing wrong with him choosing to protect Meghan,

Thank you, Sam. You’re so good. I love you the most Meghan smiled through tears and was moved to hug Samson.

Samson also hugged Meghan and patted her back while smiling faintly

Meghan was so innocent and expressed herself when angry or smiled when she felt happy. She was not pretentious at all

Evangeline could never be compared to Meghan

An audience typed: [Damn, I’m so pissed off. Why can’t Meghan say something nice? She even incited Samson to slander Evangeline!]

Someone replied. If this wasn’t a hidden camera show, I would have been fooled. After all, Evangeline had a bad reputation. If her relatives exposed her scandal, most people would think that her family did that because she went too far and they could not bear it anymore. Who would have thought it was because her relatives were stupid and evil?]

[Alas, how many had been victims of online rumors?)

[Many. There was one rumored to have an affair from just going to pick up a parcel. Their explanation was overturned, lost their jobs, and their lives became a mess. They even got sick)

There are also many driven to death by rumors]

[Meghan is too vicious, and Samson isn’t a good guy either. How could he agree to help spread such vicious rumors?]

[I can’t imagine what they would have done to Evangeline if it weren’t for the hidden camer

[I’m worried for Evangeline.

I hope these two bastards will know about the hidden camera and surf the internet soon. I want to be one of the thousands of snowflakes that overwhelm them like avalanches!]

[They should suffer the consequences of their actions!]

On–site, Meghan and Samson walked to Jolene, Kendrick, and Travis after their talk.

Meghan’s voice was no longer as domineering and arrogant as before but became gentle as it used to be. She said softly, “Jolene, Travis, Kendrick, I have a favor to ask. When the production team arrives, don’t tell them what happened here, okay? Just say that the five of us have been getting along very well. Nothing special has happened, except only Evangeline didn’t get along with us.”

Travis said coldly, “Stop it. We are not the type to backstab others. Evangeline helped us. We won’t defame her with you”

Meghan’s face darkened a little. “Have you forgotten that you also bullied Evangeline?”

The trio’s expression froze, and they all looked guilty.

Meghan said, “Either keep your mouth shut or take my side. If you dare to carnish my reputation, I’ll expose what you have done. You guys were rude to Evangeline before the shout began anyway. The audience will believe me more. You will get nothing in the end and also ruin your reputation. Even if you don’t care about your reputation, think of your company’s

The trio’s faces looked even more gloomy.

Jolene, especially, began to show hesitance and fear in her eyes.

There was a clause in the contract she signed that she needed to compensate for all the losses of the company if she had been the reason why the company was affected or suffered loss.

Although Kendrick and Travis were not in the same o

company as her, they probably had the same clause in their contract.

Evangeline’s reputation was too bad, so even if they spoke up for her, it was impossible to change her reputation. In addition, they would also be

affected

Meghan snorted and gave another warning before she stopped talking and waited for the cruise ship to dock with expectation.

Samson looked at Jolene and the others and said sincerely. “Evangeline’s small favor is not worth sacrificing your career in the entertainment industry. If you really feel bad, you can pay her for the food she gave you. Then you can call it even. You don’t need to help her beyond that. As long as you keep your mouth shut and don’t talk nonsense, 1 promise that once we return, I will Eddie to give you resources.

He added, “Travis, aren’t you in the musical field? The Gallagher family can get Hi–One Band from Atharia to create a song for you. Kendrick, you have won almost all the domestic awards. The Gallagher family can recommend you to film international blockbusters. With the help of a famous director and celebrity, you can aim for international awards Jolene… I can ask Eddie to invest in a high–budget film and let you be a female lead.”

Jolene, Travis, and Kendrick fell silent.

Samson’s offer was too tempting, and it was everything they wanted.

Even if they helped Evangeline, the audience might not believe her. Besides, they would also get involved and affect them and their company’s reputation.

Meanwhile, they did not have to take risks to help Meghan. They could also receive huge benefits.

Even a fool would know which option to pick.

Besides, their relationship with Evangeline was not that good.

Evangeline did not help them out of kindness. Instead, she made them perform before giving them some food.

To put it bluntly, they were paid with food for their performances. As such, their debts were settled.

They did not owe Evangeline anything,

Even if they helped Meghan, they would not be labeled as ungrateful
