Chapter 3343 Using Love As An Excuse

When the thought hit her, Mia's fury sprang to life. She strode toward Herman in her high heels andslapped his face forcefully.

The next moment, her pitchy voice rang out, “Herman Clear, you promised you wouldn't let Meganknow about it once I paid your gambling debt. How could you lie to me?”

Being knocked sideways, Mia shook her head in disbelief. She staggered a few steps backward asher legs gave way, and she immediately held onto the chair to steady herself.

Initially, she gave Herman the hush money mainly because Osmond was worried that Jake mighttake revenge on her. If Herman told Megan that she was the one who plotted everything, it wouldcause her a lot of trouble.

Hence, that was why she bit the bullet and drank with Anderson.

Mia had given a huge amount of hush money and even slept with other men only for Megan to tellher that she already knew about her being the culprit. It was just that Megan was keeping silent allthe while, for she didn’t want to bother about it.

Upon that realization, Mia lowered her head, and her fingers trembled. All she wanted at thatmoment was to flay Herman alive.

“No... Mia, I lied to you because I love you!” Herman cried out.

Hearing him using love as an excuse, Megan was so disgusted that she started to retch.

She could sense Jake's gaze falling upon her, yet she dared not look at him. She knew he must beunhappy with her for not telling him about Herman and Mia's misdeeds.

Yet, she never regretted it. If she told him earlier, they wouldn't get the chance to witness this farce.Unlike Megan's lightheartedness, Mia was in agony. Glowering at Herman, she clenched her fistsupon hearing him saying he loved her.

She was so angry that her hands were shaking. With all her might, she once again slapped Herman'sface. “Shut up! How dare you say you love me! You have lied to me for my money. Not only that,you even approached me on purpose when I was in despair and played with my feelings. HermanClear, I should be grateful that I finally found out about your true color!”

Deep down, Mia didn't have high regard for this man. It was just that he was the only person whowas there for her when she was at rock bottom.

In fact, she was using Herman to make herself believe that she was still the old Mia, that she was stillthe pure and sweet young lady from before. After all, being a man who liked her before, Hermanwas not disdainful of her just because she had slept with Anderson.

Unfortunately, it was all just her self-delusion. Not only was their relationship driven by money andsexual desire, but it also lacked reciprocity. She was the one who gave while Herman was the onewho got all that he needed.

Herman had made use of her, and she became her enemy's laughing stock after seeing how stupidshe was. Her life was a total failure.

Before this, Mia had lived a glorious life. But now, she almost ruined her future because of a b*stardand a b*tch.

Fortunately, it was not too late to correct her mistake. Be it Megan or Herman, she would makethem suffer.

“Mia, trust me! I really do love you!” Herman called out.

His voice brought Mia back to her senses. Disregarding his words, she cast her eyes at Megan andJake. The two of them were gloating over her misfortune, looking at her with their eyes full of pityand a hint of glee.

It was already great mercy of them that they didn’t rub salt on her wound.

Mia soon composed herself and held her head high like a phoenix that had risen from the ashes.Without sparing a glance at Herman, she scoffed, “Get lost! If I see you again, I'll make sure you endup in Lostaria!”

Megan was surprised as it was rare to see Mia being so adamant. It seemed like Herman's deceptionhad really hit her for six that she changed into a completely different person.

She couldn't help wondering if Mia would wise up after this. As her sister, she honestly thought Miawas a simpleton.

In the end, Megan and Jake left the scene before the farce even ended and went back to join theproduction crew.
