Chapter 3115
True enough, Garret's fury turned into delight with Megan's report.
"I knew this would happen."
"Go feed the pigs.You've already delayed doing so an entire day" she added with a glare at Megan.
The kitchen utensils were spotlessly clean, indicating an absence of dinner that night.
Megan had overestimated Mia's resilience.
In her previous life, she had stooped to run errands for Mia was because she posed no threat.
This time, however, they were both on equal footing as Megan had managed to get herself signed on too.
Megan's constitution was frail.
Between starving the entire day to being submerged in the freezing river, she awoke the next day feeling feverish.
That wouldn't stop her from exacting her revenge, though.
Megan forced herself up to brush her teeth.She came to the washroom and pushed open the broken door like she always did, but it did not budge.
Megan surmised that she was perhaps weak from her fever.She pushed harder still but the door remained as firmly shut as ever.
Damn it!How did this happen? Megan gave the door a shake and immediately heard the rattle of a chain.
It must be Garret and Mia's doing.
Mia's laughter came from beyond the door.
"Stop struggling, Megan.The investor told me yesterday that he plans to sign me alone.You being there will make no difference.Don't waste your energy.I will apply for a leave on your behalf!"
"Hmph, little b*tch! Cursed child!" came Garret's voice.
"The one day I don't watch over you, you try to steal Mia's birthright.I'm warning you now.Don't even think about it! I will be sitting outside this door today. We'll see how you get past me!"
Megan heard the sound of a wooden stool being dropped to the floor, followed by Garret's grunt as she sat down.
Megan slid to the floor, hitting her head helplessly.
