Chapter 3325 Another Good Turn
"Dream on, Herman. Consider me merciful that I didn't cut you to pieces myself on the spot. Not inyour life I'd ever help you.”
Her gaze was like an arrow of an icicle, aimed right for his back.
Herman was stunned. What is it that makes Megan hate me so much? Why then did she help meback at the casino, in spite of her contempt for me?
Could it be that it was part of a ploy to lure me in?
He was struck by a sudden epiphany while he stood rooted the spot and soaked to the skin. Shockand terror were apparent in his expression.
"So you..."
Herman looked like he might have caught on, to which Megan raised her eyebrows in response.Even if he had figured it out, she had no intention of owning up to it.
She had not forgotten that in her past life about the Mr. Wilson that Herman mentioned in her lastmemory.
This was the question that Megan had been desperately avoiding.
Now that it came down to this, all that was holding things together for her was her own willfuldesire to trust in Jake. She hoped that it was not him, and even if it was, she only wished to replace outlater so that she could delay making a decision.
In spite of that, a lot of things may change with how Herman had shown up the way he did. After all,his gambling debt from her previous life did not arrive this early, and she had already paid for it inhis stead.
Since everything had been brought forward, could that Mr. Wilson had already appeared? Could hereally be Jake Wilson?
Megan's anxiety was mounting. She was certainly not going to validate Herman's estimations, fordoing so would surely pit the two of them against each other.
Although she did not want to appear too chummy with him, at the same time, she did not wantthings to get too uncomfortable. It was only by getting close to him could she ascertain the realidentity of Mr. Wilson in the quickest time possible.
Thus, Megan categorically denied it, “What are you thinking? I helped you out then at the casinoout of the goodness of my heart, and I stood to gain from it as well. Don't tell me that you think Iset you up on purpose? Things turned out the way they did because you didn’t know when to quitwhile you were ahead.”
As pertinent as she sounded, Herman still found it hard to accept, as no gambler would everattribute his failings to his own greed? They would only blame it on everyone and everything elsebut themselves.
“I don't want to discuss this right now. Hurry up and replace me a hiding spot right now!”
Herman seemed more forceful and the frustration was increasingly apparent in his eyes. Megansnorted as she regarded his miserable and agitated state, “The most I'd do is offer you a hundredbucks to cover your fare to get to Mia. I won't be able to accommodate you here, as I'm currentlystaying at Jake's apartment.”
The mere mention of Jake's name struck fear into Herman's eyes.
He was actually being escorted back by those people to seek payment from the agency, which wassurely going to piss off quite a number of people. If he were to offend Jake Wilson as well becauseof Megan, it would become an absolute sh*tstorm.
After weighing up his options, Herman quietly straightened out his thoughts. No matter how muchhe did not wish to face Mia, he had to do it now because she was in it with him.
"Alright. Give me a thousand, and I'll go seek her out immediately.”
Megan did not have much to say in response to Herman's inflated demands. So long as she wasable to have Herman go pester the currently out-of-luck Mia, the asking price would be worth it.“Done. I hope things go well for you.”
Megan curled her lips and produced a thousand from her purse, which he promptly snatched awaybefore she even extended it out.
She sneered a couple of times. The contempt in her eyes was subtle, but it nonetheless pricked atHerman's pride like a needle. He evaded her gaze and kept his thoughts to himself.
Whether the man liked Megan's attitude or not, he did not have the capital to replace fault with her.The two of them hurried away from the alley. Herman stood by the side of the road, hoping to catcha ride out. Megan knew that most drivers would not stop for one as lamentably attired as him, soshe sucked it up and did him another good turn by flagging a cab down for him. She then calmlysent off the scraggly Herman.
