Chapter 3204 What It Feels Like To Be Scared

So, he cleared his mind of all disruptive thoughts and pushed himself off the tree to stand up straight. "I now understand. But just know that I helped you out today purely because I can't stand the sight of your face. Having a pretty actress like Mia play the part of 'the ugly girl' would stir up more of a frenzy on social media and bring more attention to the advertisement. Don't think too much about it and focus on filming."

Leaving behind those parting words, he stalked off. Megan blinked owlishly as she watched the back of his silhouette, her chest slowly growing tight with disappointment.

So that's what he actually thinks about me. Whatever. At least she wouldn't have to constantly get tangled up in her own conflicting emotions anymore.

The most important thing now was to get involved in a reputable, well-known project and surpass Mia and Herman, as well as replace out the truth about that so-called "Mr. Wilson" from before.

She navigated her way through the garden to get back to the set. She was just in the middle of flipping through her script when she heard the faint sounds of a man and woman arguing come from somewhere, as well as the sounds of sobbing.

Megan instantly recognized the woman's voice as Mia. Her little sister must be throwing a tantrum after getting slapped in front of everyone and having her lead role taken away from her.

"I won't stand for this! Why should I be the supporting role to Megan? She doesn't deserve it!"

Following the source of the voices, Megan eventually spotted Mia and Osmond and hid behind a large tree to watch them.

Mia appeared to be having a full-on breakdown, squatting on the floor and constantly wiping away the tears that just kept flowing down her cheeks.

"You know very well that neither you nor I, nor anyone else in Starling Media, can argue with Jake. If you talk back to him, that's the end of your career."

Osmond sighed, only slight traces of pity in his hooded eyes as he stared down at her. If it weren't for Mia's good looks, he would have willingly become Megan's manager a long time ago.

After all, that woman had nothing to her name, yet had somehow managed to make Jake fall for her.

"I don't care! I don't want to film this stupid commercial anymore!" Mia declared, abruptly standing up to emphasize her point. Osmond's expression darkened.

It was really tiring to watch them go at each other.

No matter how hot-headed Mia was, she would never be able to win an argument with Osmond. Her attempts to scream and stand her ground only made Megan want to laugh.

Chuckling under her breath, Megan made to leave when she accidentally stepped on a branch. The small sound of the branch cracking under her foot instantly attracted the attention of both Mia and Osmond.

"Who's there?" Osmond barked out.

Megan's breath hitched in her throat. She'd been exposed.

"It's me." With no intention to run away, she stepped out from the shadows into the light. Her calm gaze flickered down to look at a still-crying Mia. "I would've never thought that my prideful little sister would cry."

"Megan!"

Mia instantly flared up with anger, all the sadness in her eyes was replaced with burning wrath. For a brief moment, she wished that her glare would burn right through Megan and turn her into a pile of ashes. "I'm going to kill you!"

"Mia, stop messing around!"

Osmond's arms shot out to hold her back, narrowing his eyes at Megan as Mia struggled in his arms.

What a troublemaker. Megan kept making him step out of line and do things that he usually never needed to do.

"What do you want, Megan?" he asked, a dangerous undercurrent running through his voice.

Megan laughed. "Nothing, at least for now. I feel refreshed after seeing Mia cry, so I'm in a good mood."

"You b*tch!" Gritting her teeth, Mia suddenly gained a burst of energy and broke free from Osmond's grasp, lunging towards Megan like a rabid animal let out of its cage.

She wrapped her hands around Megan's head, nearly slamming it into a nearby tree. Her eyes were bloodshot and her face was beet red as she spat out, "Do you think I'm scared of you?" "No. You don't know what it feels like to be scared."

Megan maintained her unperturbed attitude, ignoring the sharp pain in her back. She reached up and dug her nails into Mia's hands, the mocking look in her eyes causing Mia to freeze up.
