It seems like he's here to confront me.
"D-Did you see everything?"
He chuckled at her question.
With an aloof expression, he said indifferently, "If you're going to pretend to be pushed over again, make sure that your injury is as severe as Jacinta's."Jacinta? Fluttering her lashes, Megan instantly understood him. She then shook her head and smiled.
"I'm not as cunning as her."
Turning his head, Jake scrutinized her.
Within seconds, the atmosphere in the car became oppressive, and it wiped the smile off the woman's face, as she knew he was about to cut to the chase.
"In case you didn't know, many approached me over the past few years, saying that they're Megan. In the end, they were sent to Alendor for labor work."
Staring ahead in silence for a while, he added slowly, "I hope you won't be the next."
She could tell that the man was implying something, but a person who hadn't lied wouldn't understand his words.
Her eyes widened as she asked cowardly, "Why can't my name be Megan?"
The man cast her a sideways glance and let out a sniff.
With a frigid gaze, he tipped her chin up with his finger.
"Not in front of me, unless you're really her."
"Who's she? I don't get it."
Megan moved away from his grip. Her expression seemed mildly annoyed, and there wasn't a trace of deception in her genuine gaze.
The suspicion in Jake's heart diminished gradually.
With his legs crossed, he recalled the information he found about Megan.
"I remember you said that you've been to an orphanage in Queenston Village," he said casually.
His hand pressed against the car window.
"I'm a little curious about the kids in the orphanage. Can you recognize any of them from these photos?"
What? Did he just ask me to recognize them from the photos? Her expression flinched inconspicuously; yet, she quickly regained her composure.
Rocky looked into the matter and showed me some photos and details on the lives of those living in the orphanage, but I won't be able to tell him the name of each person in the photo.
Then, she explained nonchalantly, "Yes, I've been to the orphanage, but I didn't stay there, so I only know a handful of people there."
Jake was skeptical about her words, studying her expression.
Suddenly, he snickered.
"Okay. Take a look and see if you can spot anyone you know in these photos and give me an account of the situation back then," Megan resisted the urge to roll her eyes at him.
Now! know why the other people named Megan were sent to Alendor.
"Sure. Give me the photos."
She nodded in agreement without batting an eyelid.
"If everyone was in the photos, I should be able to recognize some of them."
Her readiness made the man cast a few more glances at her.
He then took an envelope from the inner pocket of his suit jacket and handed it to her.
"Hurry up, it's going to be noon soon. This will determine whether you're going to be in a restaurant or a cruise to Alendor."
His tone was totally impassive as if he was only chatting about the weather.
The woman's heart skipped a beat.
She tried to keep her hands as still as she could, so they wouldn't quiver.
Brushing his words aside, Megan opened the envelope, and a stack of old, yellowish photos fell out of it.
Picking one up, she looked at it carefully and spotted Jake.
His appearance was entirely different when he was young.
The thin and short boy looked nothing like the tall and dashing man he was now.
He was indistinguishable if one hadn't seen his old photos.
"I can recognize this boy."
With a firm look, she pointed at Jake's face in the photo.
"I often hung out with him when I went to the Queenston Village."
Staring at the spot where her finger was, Jake narrowed his eyes.
In the next second, he pulled himself together.
"Oh? Do you remember anything about him?"
Looking up, Megan gazed right into his dark eyes, which were gleaming like obsidian.
"Of course I do, because I had a crush on him when I was a little girl. Despite his skinny frame, he was sharp-witted and always cheered me up. He asked me to call him Gabe""
