Chapter 3239 Scandal

Megan awaited Jonas' reply absentmindedly. Her initial calmness had morphed into sadness.

One could almost feel the chill in the atmosphere of the room.

Jonas scoffed, "Why did you have to come up with such a long story to explain your actions?"

His trust in Megan had long been destroyed by the fury and disappointment in his heart. He was struck by an urge to leave the room and this woman who was playing him with lies. His expression was at once icy and doubtful.

Megan gave up trying to explain herself at the sight of his obvious mistrust.

I guess this is for the best. I don't want to be entangled with Jonas any longer and perpetually live in his debt.

"I'm glad you think of me that way. Since you've satisfied your curiosity, you can leave."

Megan barely glanced at Jonas as she turned her entire attention to her phone. She seemed utterly unconcerned over his thoughts. Though he was puzzled by her behavior, his pride would not allow him to press her for answers.

What more is there to say anyway?

Still, he could not help but feel insulted at her apathy toward his feelings and opinions.

I guess I'm just a stranger that was never worth her time.

"Fine, I'm leaving. I hope I never see you again."

He left behind a harsh statement to get in a final dig at Megan. She happened to look at him as he hardened his expression. Her emotions began to go haywire.

Megan lowered her gaze. Once he leaves, we may never contact each other again. The door slammed shut with his departure, and Megan was confused with her own feelings. Megan suppressed the unfamiliar emotions that were threatening to overwhelm her. Instead, she turned on her new phone and began browsing mindlessly through the Internet. She instinctively scrolled to the trending topics on Twitter as she mulled over Jonas. Her somber mood was suddenly reversed when she caught sight of a flashy headline. Female Celeb Caught in R-rated Rendezvous.

Megan's thoughts immediately flew to Melissa when she saw the headline. Her initial concerns were forgotten as she marveled at Rocky's efficiency.

She clicked into the link, skimming through the article and photographs. She froze in shock when she saw a photo of Josiah in the article.

Anderson must have kicked Melissa out of his room shortly after Megan left. Maybe he was too tired to keep up with her. Somehow, Josiah was also at the hotel. He must have decided to take advantage of the situation when he saw a horny Melissa banging down Mr. Whittemore's door.

Unable to afford the costs of hiring a private room at the Royal Hotel, the two of them ended up doing the deed in the hallway in a fit of passion.

The news had exceeded Megan's wildest imaginations. She laughed coldly at the zoomed-in and pixelated photos in the article, which had gained many comments from gossipy netizens. She commented on the post as well with her private account.

Wow, what a fox.

Megan only wrote a simple comment. She was cautious after witnessing one too many celebrities who fell from grace after the activities on their private accounts were revealed.

She scrolled through the comments, most of which were sarcastic barbs targeted at Melissa.

And to think, she used to play that naïve character on Transcendent! She should be starring in R-rated films instead!

That's showbiz for you. She's not worth our mockery or our pity. There's always going to be others after her.

Though many comments were harsh, Megan found herself stunned by all the conspiracy theories on Melissa's scandal. These people have way too much time on their hands. Megan was reveling in glee as the phone in her hand began to ring.

Startled, she looked at the caller ID. She was suddenly reluctant to answer the call. Worried she might miss out on some important news, she eventually swallowed her pride and picked up the call.
