Never Late, Never Away

Chapter 3229 A Gamble

While Jake had been speaking his mind honestly, Megan’s hands were already balling up into tight fists by her side. She turned and glared menacingly at Jake.

Unable to restrain herself, Megan roared with fury, “Do you really think I’m harassing you on purpose? I’ve only met you that one time at the audition! If I wanted to take advantage of you, why would I have waited until everything was over to make a fuss? Mr. Wilson, you think too highly of yourself! I don’t want to see you ever again!”

Megan paused. Even after that speech, Megan felt that she had only managed to partially vent out the resentment she had accumulated. There was nonetheless still a significant amount of rage brewing within her.

Megan, however, knew that she had to tread carefully. Every word she uttered was part of a gamble.

If Jake was merely testing Megan, those words would have undoubtedly lessened his suspicions. On the other hand, Jake might very well take Megan at her word and keep his distance from Megan. If he went looking for Mia, Megan’s plans would be completely undone.
