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 red 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 umted. There was nheless 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 ns would bepletely 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 nning
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 waspelled to investigate her further.
Realizing that he was stillcking 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.
In the ufortably hushed car, Megan frowned, struggling to guess at the thoughts thaty beneath
Jake’s stony exterior. Suppressing the urge to evade his piercing gaze, Megan willed herself to meet
Jake’s eyes.
“Yes,” Megan replied. That single utterance had required all of the courage within her.
She could instantly feel Jake loosen up.
Guardedly, Megan examined Jake’s face closely. Is he finally going to give up? she agonized.
A heavy silence hung between Jake and Megan. Just when Megan was beginning to feel despair, Jake
suddenly turned to her and spoke.
“If that’s your answer, all I can say is that I can’t prove anything. I don’t have the desire to, either,” Jake

said lightly.
He sounded unconcerned but rm bells were ringing in Megan’s mind. She peered with bewilderment
at Jake, whose facey half-concealed in shadow.
It was a trap! Megan concluded with a start.
Jake had never been interested in Megan’s attitude or whether she was agitating him on purpose. Jake
had all along been intent on forcing an answer out of Megan that she was already determined not to
reveal.
Startled, Megan gazed at Jake in disbelief. She had not anticipated him to be quite so cynical.
Jake had first used the ne tickets to bait Megan, then cornered her. However, Jake had released
Megan upon hearing her simple exnation. Megan felt as if Jake had been toying with her.
“Mr. Wilson, I think you’re overthinking things,” Megan offered politely.
The corners of Jake’s mouth curled up into a smirk. He tossed the ne tickets he had been holding to
Megan, then retorted, “You’re the one who’s overthinking. I already know everything that has
happened. If you’re truly Megan, I won’t hold you ountable for anything. Of course, if you’re lying to
me, you’ll suffer for it.”
Jake spoke in a low voice so menacing that it was almost a growl. Megan’s heart plummeted.
