Chapter 19 Backfired What rotten luck , being stuck on the same team as Gianna . Patricia called her out by name , so Gianna couldn't escape . With visible disgust , she pinched a tiny fish between two fingers . Smack ! The fish flicked its tail right across her face . " Ahhh ! " she shrieked , hurling it away . It landed squarely on a little girl passing by , sending the child into tears . The cameras caught every second . The livestream chat exploded . [ Unbelievable . That's too much . ] [ If that's how she treats a child , it tells you everything about her character . ] [ Seriously , the difference is night and day . ] [ She had us all fooled before . Guess you never really know someone . ] [ Kick Gianna out of the show already ! ] Gianna wanted to scream . Was this whole place cursed ? Nothing went her way . God , please let the viewers have missed that . After that mess , nobody wanted to buy fish from their stall anymore . Finished Meanwhile , Amelia's side had already sold out completely . Customers lined up , waiting for her to gut and fillet fish on the spot . Her movements were smooth and efficient , the knife flashing in her steady hands . Even the stall owner gave her a thumbs - up . " Girl , you're better at this than I am . " Amelia smiled , wiped the sweat off her brow . " You're flattering me . How could I The chat went insane . [ Help ! How is wiping sweat this hot ?! ] [ She's killing me - cool , tough , and gorgeous . ] [ How did we not notice Amelia's charm before ? ] On the other side , Cianna's agent was on the verge of a breakdown . compare with you ? " Watching her client's disastrous performance on the screen , her hands shook with fury . " That idiot ! Do you know how much the company invested to build her up ? " Even if it was her own company , sinking so much money into a lost cause was enough to make her bleed inside . By the end , Amelia's stall had the highest sales , winning her team first pick of dinner ingredients . That night's haul was the best they'd seen in days : grouper , crab , giant shrimp . Cooked by Amelia's hands , it became a seafood feast . She didn't keep it to herself - she let everyone cat . For once , Gianna kept her mouth shut . Now , only one last mission remained before the reality show wrapped . 8 P P Chapter 19 Backfired Word was , this one would be the hardest yet . No one knew if they'd make it through . At the Nygard Residence , the family was busy plotting over the company . Thirty percent of the Nygard Group's shares still sat in Amelia's hands . All they could think about was how to get them back . With Amelia away filming , the whole family huddled together , scheming . Finished That evening , Emery brought it up casually . " By the way , hasn't Gianna been gone for about a week now ? Shouldn't she be coming back soon ? " " Yes , Mom . Just one more day , " Marcelo replied . He'd been swamped with company affairs , leaving Gianna's situation in her agent's hands . Nothing seemed wrong so far . " Didn't that show have a livestream ? Put it on the big screen - I want to see how she's doing , " Emery said , sounding eager . Marcelo grabbed the remote and switched it on . But instead of Gianna shining , the first image was Amelia - cool , steady , handling a live fish with precision - while Gianna stood off to the side , face twisted in disgust . " What - what's this ? " Emery's expression darkened instantly . " Why isn't Gianna doing anything ? " Marcelo muttered . " Probably something arranged by the producers ." But then Gianna's scream rang out through the speakers . The screen showed her flinging a fish into a little girl's arms , the comment feed filling with scorn . The entire Nygard family froze . " Outrageous ! " Raymond slammed the table , rising to his feet . " What do those viewers know? Gianna's been pampered since birth - of course , she doesn't know how to do grunt work ! " Marcelo's gaze stayed locked on the screen , his voice measured . Still ... Amelia is doing well . " Maxwell scowled . " Don't start praising that ungrateful brat ! She's deliberately embarrassing Gianna . She's nothing but a stray -let her do the dirty work ." Emery stared at the screen , whispering to herself , " But Gianna's always so good at home . Why does she look like this on the show ? " The comments flashing across the screen were brutal , making Gianna look like a stranger to her mother . Maxwell growled , " It has to be for drama . But why isn't Amelia being used to prop Gianna up ? Marcelo , didn't you already talk to the director ? " This is a livestream . It's raw . The director can't control everything , " Marcelo replied , regret creeping into his voice . Sending them on this show had been a mistake . They'd thought it would drag Amelia down and push Gianna's career higlier . Instead , it had completely backfired . Emery's heart ached at the insults flooding the screen . " Marcelo , call the production team right now . Tell them to cut Gianna's screen time ! If this keeps going , her image will be ruined ! " P P .
