Chapter 3333 Childhood Friends

Although Jake was acting nonchalant, one could see from his eyes that he wanted to protectMegan. When the crew passed by her, they quietly congratulated her for replaceing a good partner.Feeling helpless about the situation, she kept on whispering explanations about their relationship,emphasizing that they were merely childhood friends.

Regardless of what they thought, Megan could not agree with it so casually in public. After all, shedid not want Jake's brilliance to cover up certain things.

Silas was sitting by the side when he heard her words. Not believing it, he raised his eyebrows andsaid in a surprised tone, “Are you guys really just childhood friends? No matter how I see it, itdoesn't seem that simple.”

He had spoken rather loudly, and by the time he realized it, everyone's eyes were already on him.Jake, who was standing nearby, had also heard it. However, since he was long used to Megan givingsuch explanations, there was no change in his expression. Compared to his indifference, Mia insteadwas glaring at Megan incredulously.

“Childhood friends? Why haven't I heard of it? So this is how you've seduced Jake, huh? Urgh, this ispreposterous! He should've been mine!”

Distressed, she gritted her teeth and glared at Megan. Her beautiful face turned ugly as it contortedin anger.

On the other hand, Megan was feeling very happy as she watched the scene indifferently. Shechuckled, her cold eyes falling on Mia's face. “You grew up in a farming village but acted as if youwere a princess. Back then, you'd never have gone over to the next-door village that was evenpoorer than yours. So naturally, you wouldn't have known anyone. After all, you only care aboutyourself and power.”

Her mocking words caused Mia to pale as her breath hitched, seemingly suffocating her.

She was about to walk over in her stiletto heels to teach Megan a lesson when she was roughlygrabbed by Anderson and dragged over to stand in front of Jake.

“Mr. Wilson, Mia's shooting her mouth off. Ill hand her over to you. Feel free to do whatever youwant to her.”

Anderson had long since noticed that Jake's eyes had suddenly turned cold as he glared at Mia. Shewas a person with no self-awareness and who spoke carelessly. Therefore, even though he hadbought her for a huge price, he needed to draw the line between them right then.

Otherwise, he would lose his life instead.

Mia, who was still struggling, was shocked the moment she heard Anderson say that he was goingto give her to Jake.

Could this be my opportunity to get Jake for myself and finally become his?

Various expectations began to form in her mind. However, Jake's disgusted expression and wordswould soon devastate all her expectations.

“No, it's too dirty. You've already used this rag. Now that you replace it disgusting, you're trying tothrow it to me?”

Mia froze in place, her eyes widened in disbelief. As she stared at his handsome yet cold face, a chillran down her spine.

Never would she expected that that was how Jake viewed her. She was neither a person nor awoman and was not beautiful. She was just a dirty rag.

Seeing the woman's dazed appearance, Megan felt neither happy nor sad. As she walked over whilelooking at Mia's dull appearance, she found the whole situation rather funny instead.

She'd thought that all men in the world would surrender to her charms. Hearing Jake's indifferentthoughts about her was undoubtedly a stab at her proud heart.

“It's getting late. You should finish your drinks and leave, Mr. Whittemore.”

Looking at the scene, Megan chuckled aloud as her scornful gaze swept across Anderson and Mia.It's nigh time Mia suffer some pain and humiliation.

Hearing Megan's ridicule, Anderson trembled a little in rage. He looked at the dozen or so bottles ofwine left on the table, feeling undoubtedly frustrated.
