Chapter 3111
Even Megan's face — something she was proud of — had been criticized by Herman as overly sultry.
He had forced her to undergo eyelid surgery in Koandria.
Even then, her fans had criticized her for looking like she had a stroke.
Come to think of it, Mia must have instigated that decision too.
It's been a while since she had to exert herself physically.
As she had not needed to do physical labor in the city, Megan spent more than half a day working on her task.
By the time she reached home, it was already dusk.
"Stupid girl, why did you take so long with the wood!” Garret screamed from the door.
"No dinner for you! What are you looking at? Go feed the pigs!"
Megan gazed inside the house.
Under the warm yellow light, Mia flashed her skincare mask at her, looking very pleased with herself.Megan felt dissatisfied but was in no position to be petty.
Her hunger had cleared her mind as she reaffirmed the purpose of her second life — vengeance.
The following day was the same.
After chopping firewood and watching the sheep, Megan had her dinner — a bowl of soup so watery that the bottom of the bowl could be seen.
In the house, only Garret and Mia talked and laughed, all the appearances of a jolly family.
"Mom, does this look good on me?"
"My girl, you would look good even in a potato sack.I promise you that the rich man from the city would like you when he comes tomorrow" Garret spoke as if Mia already belonged in the city.
"Mia, when you become the wife of somebody important, please remember to bring me along to share your joy."
The house was silent for a long time.
Megan sat underneath the stove for warmth as she sipped her SOUP. it's tomorrow, is it? She did not expect the day to come this soon.
Mia isn't going to get away this time.
Though Megan had followed the filming crew into the city, she actually worked beneath Mia, who had her do odd jobs and run errands.
Mia went on to become the star of the commercial, with each role increasing her fame even more than before.
Megan wasn't going to let that happen this time.
The following day, Megan rose early but did not expect Garret and Mia to have awakened earlier than her.
