Chapter 34
The video continued to play
Meghan confessed that she pushed Evangeline down the cliff.
Meghan was so terrified of Evangeline that she defected herself in public.
Meghan and Samson discussed spreading rumors about Evangeline. They bribed Jolene. Travis, and Kendrick to join them in slandering Evangeline, and everyone agreed.
There were also clips of Evangeline crawling in the forest, swinging between trees using vines, beating monkeys, and overthrowing the yellow-
throated martens.
After the video was played, all six people's faces turned gloomy.
Even Evangeline, the only one who didn't make any mistakes, looked gloomy.
Because she wasn't very graceful while crawling in the forest on all fours and swinging between trees using vines.
That was not what a female star should do.
The stunt was quite shocking if performed by an ordinary woman, not to mention a female star.
Evangeline felt that her image was also ruined.
She mused. This production team is so shameless!
"They ruined six stars at once.
Only the reporters down the stage were happily taking pictures of them with cameras.
Then came the indiscriminate question.
"Meghan, do you have anything to say after watching the video? What you did in the video seems to be completely different from what you just said!" one reporter asked.
"Meghan, you've held onto Evangeline's identity as the daughter of the Gallagher family for 20 years. Why are you so ungrateful and still targeting Evangeline? Do you believe your actions are justified another reporter questioned.
"Meghan, please answer me. It's understandable that you dislike Evangeline. After all, her return might jeopardize your role as the imposter. You don't want to give up the luxurious life of the Gallagher family and wish to eliminate Evangeline to maintain your position. But Samson isn't a threat to your standing, and he's been blindly supporting you. Why were you so cruel to him" someone added.
"Meghan, when Samson fell into the river, did you deliberately hold Kendrick and stop him from saving him? Do you want Samson dead!' another reporter asked.
"Meghan, do
you want Samson to die so that you can slander Evangeline, or do you just dislike Samson?" another reporter questioned. “Meghan, do you want to kill everyone in the Callagher family so that you can occupy their property?" another chimed in. Everyone directed their questions at Meghan.
This happened because her vicious actions completely overthrew her usual public image, which angered and shocked people.
Meghan was dumbfounded. Her face turned pale, and her body trembled vigorously
Confronted with a barrage of questions from the reporters, she felt frightened and didn't know how to respond.
She almost had a mental breakdown.
At the same time, she was overwhelmed with intense anger.
Meghan thought, Why Why was everything in the woods filmed! Tm doomed.
[
10:30 AM A
I'm completely doomed.
"Meghan, please answer our question! You've been singling out Evangeline in the forest. The way you told Samson to bully Evangeline and boss her around implies that it wasn't the first time. Does this show that you treated Evangeline like this in private! Yet, you distorted the truth, stating in front of the camera that you've been bullied by Evangeline?" the reporter asked.
You mentioned in the forest that your brother Edward made Evangeline sign a contract to embarrass you on purpose in the variety show, Is that true? Whose idea was it? Yours or your brother's another reporter questioned.
"Did the Gallagher family genuinely dislike Evangeline, or did you sow discord between them?" another added.
Meghan remained silent, but the reporters kept asking,
There were all kinds of questions.
Meghan vigorously shook her head and shouted, "It's not true! This video isn't real! The production team must have edited it to make us look bad! Yes, that must be the case. Evangeline must have bribed the production team to ruin all five of us! Evangeline loves taking the underhanded way. Every time she shoots a movie or goes on a variety show, she sleeps with all the staff and asks them to help her! These things have already been exposed on the Internet! She must have tried the same trick again this time. She used her body to bribe the entire production team, let the production team hype her, and destroy us." Dallas' face fell as he heard that. He picked up the microphone and said angrily. "Meghan, don't slander us! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will sue you for defamation!"
He continued, "Forgery? How can you even say that? Where did I find six people who look exactly like you guys to create this fake video? Anyone can see it's real at first glance. If computer generated images could be this good, there'd be no need for real people in the film and television industry!"
Dallas retorted Meghan's claims, effectively silencing her.
In the end, he sneered with disdain. Look at you now. Your resentful eyes are exactly the same as those in the video. Does anyone still think the video is fake?" Meghan clutched her head and screamed, "ALT"
She broke down, cried, fell to the ground, and bitterly exclaimed. "How could you film us secretly without our permission? You're breaking the law. I'll sue you! You've ruined my reputation! I won't spare you. I will make sure you spend the rest of your life in prison!"
Dallas scoffed. "Who said I secretly filmed you without permission? It's clearly stated in the contract that During the variety show, there may be secret shooting (candid photography) for better access to materials, Party B knows and voluntarily accepts this action."""
He added, "Except for Evangeline, 1 signed the contract with all five of you. I understand that you might not have bothered to read it since there Te so many clauses. I took the responsibility to read them to you one by one, asking if you understood or had any objections. At that time, you didn't raise any objections. There were lawyers present and surveillance cameras during the signing. If you don't want to admit it, I can retrieve the video of us signing the contract and show everyone. Let them judge whether I'm lying.
Meghan trembled violently with anger.
She thought those clauses in the contract were just bluffing
When Dallas mentioned the possibility of a secret shooting, she thought it would just be a surprise moment during the show.
For instance, before the celebrity got up in the morning, the production team would suddenly make a surprise visit to take videos of the celebrity just waking up without makeup
Not only did Meghan, but others also thought so
Unexpectedly, the production team pretended to be out of touch and filmed the participants with hidden cameras. Six out of the seven days of shooting were done this way.
It was clearly stated in the contract. They had misunderstood.
Therefore, they could only bite the bitter bullet.
Dallas was filming according to the contract, and they couldn't sue him!
Dallas continued, "Before entering the forest, I reminded you to behave well whenever and wherever even during an emergency. There would always be people watching your every move, but you didn't take my words seriously. It didn't matter if you didn't take my words seriously. If you

had integrity, at most, you would become the subject of a joke and feel embarrassed, just like Evangeline. But I didn't personalities were so malicious, which led to the current situation"

Someone commented online. (I feel relieved. Finally, Meghan is exposed in public. It's satisfying to see her getting frustrated but unable to do anything about it.]
Another added: (Serves her right! She brings this upon herself]
Another person remarked [The Gallagher family has taken care of her for 20 years, providing her with an affluent life. Why is she still so vicious? I've never seen someone as mean as her. How could she harm Samson, who has always loved her? She is so heartless!]
Someone said: [Samson deserves it. He singled out his blood sister, and as karma, he was almost killed by his supposed beloved sister!]
Another netizen wrote: [] agree with Dallas. They were ruined by their bad intentions. If they were ordinary people with good morals, they wouldn't end up like this!]
Someone echoed: [Meghan still feels no remorse even at this point. She continued to blame the director and attempted to smear Evangeline and him. She's so disgusting!]
Another comment appeared, which read: [Damn it! I used to support her, but now I feel disgusted! When I reflect on her pretentious act in front of the camera, I wonder why I even liked her in the beginning!! Someone said: [Don't blame yourself. It's not your fault. She's just really good at creating a persona, and her brothers were skilled at promoting her. People always share a herd mentality. If others praise her a lot, the public will unconsciously believe she's a good person and put a filter on her. Even if she appears artificial and insincere, people will unconsciously overlook her flaws when considering her kindness and grievances]
Someone commented: [Exactly. Some people used to spread negative numors about Evangeline online, claiming she had poor morals and messy private life, even suggesting that her face underwent plastic surgery. Ghostwriters and online marketing accounts led the way, labeling her as ugly. They kept sharing posts and videos with carefully chosen photos taken during filming to deliberately portray her negatively, even creating rankings where she was labeled as the ugliest. The truth is, Evangeline is beautiful, and she can even outshine others without any makeup!]
A netizen concluded: [Brainwashing marketing is truly terrible. A simple sentence or one incident can turn a falsehood into what seems true after repeated promotion, easily influencing many people to follow the trend]
At the scene, Meghan burst into tears. She looked at Samson for help and said pitifully. "Samson, I have nothing left. Please help me. Samson was beside her. Meghan sat on the ground, clutching his trouser legs with both hands and looked up at him with tearful eyes.
She gazed at him with the same expression she used when facing troubles and pleaded with him in the sweet, affectionate tone she often used with him
Because Meghan continued to pull at Samson's trouser legs, he finally diverted his gaze from the big screen and snapped out of his shock.
He wearily lowered his head and turned to Meghan, who was huddled by his feet, tears streaming down her face. She gazed at him with a mixture of sadness and distress
The next moment, his face darkened and contorted in anger.
