A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 3229

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.

It was also possible that Jake had already realized but was biding his time. Meanwhile, he continued quietly, almost unobtrusively prodding Megan to uncover her motives. Megan hoped that what she had just unleashed on him would diminish the threat that Megan posed in Jake’s eyes.

If Jake found out that Megan was lying to him, however, all would be lost. Megan’s careful planning would have been for nothing then.

“Is that so?” Jake replied skeptically, arching an eyebrow.

The events that Megan had clumsily orchestrated were etched in Jake’s memory. However, he found himself deeply affected by what Megan had said and was compelled to investigate her further. Realizing that he was still lacking in concrete proof, Jake had decided to further his interaction with Megan.

Over these past few months of getting to know Megan, Jake had begun to question if she was really the girl he’d met that day.

Even if Jake could not exactly put a finger on what seemed amiss, he could not resist repeatedly testing Megan.

Jake was ultimately resolved to get to the bottom of this mystery. He did not enjoy the feeling of being deceived.
