Chapter 3111

Chapter 3111

Even Megan's face — something she was proud of — had been criticized by Herman as overly sultry.

He had forced her to undergo eyelid surgery in Koandria.

Even then, her fans had criticized her for looking like she had a stroke.

Come to think of it, Mia must have instigated that decision too.

It's been a while since she had to exert herself physically.

As she had not needed to do physical labor in the city, Megan spent more than half a day working on her task.

By the time she reached home, it was already dusk.

"Stupid girl, why did you take so long with the wood!" Garret screamed from the door.

"No dinner for you! What are you looking at? Go feed the pigs!"

Megan gazed inside the house.

Under the warm yellow light, Mia flashed her skincare mask at her, looking very pleased with herself. Megan felt dissatisfied but was in no position to be petty. Her hunger had cleared her mind as she reaffirmed the purpose of her second life - vengeance.

The following day was the same.

After chopping firewood and watching the sheep, Megan had her dinner - a bowl of soup so watery that the bottom of the bowl could be seen.

In the house, only Garret and Mia talked and laughed, all the appearances of a jolly family.

"Mom, does this look good on me?"

"My girl, you would look good even in a potato sack.I promise you that the rich man from the city would like you when he comes tomorrow" Garret spoke as if Mia already belonged in the city. "Mia, when you become the wife of somebody important, please remember to bring me along to share your joy."

The house was silent for a long time.

Megan sat underneath the stove for warmth as she sipped her SOUP. it's tomorrow, is it? She did not expect the day to come this soon. Mia isn't going to get away this time.

Though Megan had followed the filming crew into the city, she actually worked beneath Mia, who had her do odd jobs and run errands. Mia went on to become the star of the commercial, with each role increasing her fame even more than before.

Megan wasn't going to let that happen this time.

The following day, Megan rose early but did not expect Garret and Mia to have awakened earlier than her.

Clad in her new red dress with a freshly tied braid, Mia appeared very excited.

However, her expression turned sour the moment Megan emerged.

"Mom, we can't let Megan out today. It would be embarrassing for us."

Mia had casually shattered Megan's dreams in her past life like that too.

"Don't leave the house today. Stay indoors and work on your embroidery; Garret ordered. She could not allow Megan to steal attention away from Mia.

"Yes."

Megan did not openly disobey. She knew the crew would arrive in the afternoon. It wouldn't do to pick a fight with Garret at that moment.

As expected, Mia arrived back at noon.

"Mom, nobody came to the village!" she sulked.

"She lucked out on not having to work in the morning. Megan, go fetch my almonds!"

Mia was the spoiled child of Garret, who got whatever she wanted.

After Megan brought Mia her almonds, the latter's temper grew worse. She flung bits of it at Megan.

This was the opportunity Megan had been waiting for.

Faking a look of desire, she whined, "Mom, I want new clothes too. Mia's old clothes..."

"What! You dare ask for new clothes?"

Mia jumped to her feet as she stared at her sister, not daring to believe how Megan had suddenly become so brazen. Garret did not respond as Mia headed into one of the rooms and procured the green jacket she had worn the day before.

"I would have forgotten if you didn't mention it, Megan. This hasn't been washed"

The meal on the stove was almost ready, so Garret was too occupied to object to anything.

She simply said, "Wash your sister's clothes. We'll talk then"

Megan's plan ran like clockwork as she finally got her chance to slip away. She walked past with the basin of Garret's and Mia's laundry as the delicious smell of lunch wafted past her nostrils. It was in the middle of autumn, hence the freezing weather.

The river from the mountain cascaded gently down to the village.

Megan began washing the clothes, perfectly embodying the stereotype of a simple village girl. She distinctly heard the sound of a car stopping.

Not long after, there were footsteps leading towards her.

Megan had accurately predicted that the river was the exact location which the crew had intended to shoot.
