Chapter 3185
It seems like he's here to confront me.
"D-Did you see everything?"
He chuckled at her question.
With an aloof expression, he said indifferently, "If you're going to pretend to be pushed over again, make sure that your injury is as severe as Jacinta's."Jacinta? Fluttering her lashes, Megan instantly understood him.She then shook her head and smiled.
"I'm not as cunning as her."
Turning his head, Jake scrutinized her.
Within seconds, the atmosphere in the car became oppressive, and it wiped the smile off the woman's face, as she knew he was about to cut to the chase.
"In case you didn't know, many approached me over the past few years, saying that they're Megan.In the end, they were sent to Alendor for labor work."
Staring ahead in silence for a while, he added slowly, "I hope you won't be the next."
She could tell that the man was implying something, but a person who hadn't lied wouldn't understand his words.
Her eyes widened as she asked cowardly, "Why can't my name be Megan?"
The man cast her a sideways glance and let out a sniff.
With a frigid gaze, he tipped her chin up with his finger.
"Not in front of me, unless you're really her."
"Who's she? I don't get it."
Megan moved away from his grip.Her expression seemed mildly annoyed, and there wasn't a trace of deception in her genuine gaze.
The suspicion in Jake's heart diminished gradually.
With his legs crossed, he recalled the information he found about Megan.
"I remember you said that you've been to an orphanage in Queenston Village," he said casually.
His hand pressed against the car window.
"I'm a little curious about the kids in the orphanage.Can you recognize any of them from these photos?"
What? Did he just ask me to recognize them from the photos? Her expression flinched inconspicuously; yet, she quickly regained her composure.
Rocky looked into the matter and showed me some photos and details on the lives of those living in the orphanage, but I won't be able to tell him the name of each person in the photo.
Then, she explained nonchalantly, "Yes, I've been to the orphanage, but I didn't stay there, so I only know a handful of people there."
Jake was skeptical about her words, studying her expression.
