Chapter 3176
His pupils' narrowed as he scrutinized Megan's expression.
"Of course.I know about the beautiful orphanage in Queenston Village.I wanted to live there; it was gorgeous."
Megan stood up and patted the dust off her trousers.She put on the most innocent expression she could muster as she recalled that exceptionally lovely orphanage in that small village.
A hint of shock appeared on Jake's calm features.He stared intently at Megan and asked, "What's your name?"He had not remembered who she was after that brief acquaintance on Transcendent.
Megan was not disappointed at all; instead, she answered sincerely, "I'm Megan."
Megan.
Megan? Jake knitted his brows tightly as he stared at the normal-looking woman before him.
There was a faint pounding pain in his head.
"Mr.Wilson, are you okay?" his secretary asked in concern at the sight of Jake rubbing his forehead.
Jake, however, pushed the secretary away.He lifted his eyes and stared at Megan for a long time.His gaze cooled as he threatened, "If I find out that you're playing me, I won't let you off easily."
Megan was stunned at his threat.
A second later, she had schooled her features into one of incomprehension.She stared at him in confusion as she said, "I don't understand what you're saying."
"That would be best.I'll look for you again, Megan."
Jake left the set after one final glance at Megan.
The staff busied themselves in their tasks at Jake's departure.
"Megan, why do you know Mr.Wilson?"
Mia's fists were clenched so tightly that her nails had dug into her skin.She reached out and grabbed Megan's elbow fiercely as she interrogated her.
"Exactly as what you've seen," Megan scoffed and stomped on Mia's foot with her stiletto.
Mia yelped in pain and let go of Megan's elbow.
"You b*tch! Don't think for a second that you're on Jake's radar! You're nothing but an ugly frog compared to me!"
