Chapter 3268 No Courage To Find Out

"Oh, Mia. Stop it with your act. You did it on purpose, didn't you?"

Hearing that, some of their jaws dropped. Why would Mia do such a thing? One was a rising star while the other was a hot topic these days. Furthermore, they were step-siblings with the same dad. Despite looking very different, they were still family. To most of the people there, Mia's attack motive was almost non existential.

That was, everyone except the director and Osmond.

In reality, this audition was just for show. Right from the start, Osmond and the director were already in cahoots to choose Mia. Everything was going as planned until Osmond chanced upon Megan in the corridor, wearing Jake's tailor-made tracksuit. He questioned the director but the latter denied having any contact with Jake.

Jake's passiveness towards Megan's career confused Osmond. Meanwhile, the director was conflicted between choosing Megan or Mia. After a long discussion, they agreed to stick with the original plan. For the most part, they were worried Mia might resort to extreme methods if she lost her role to Megan. That was the nature of their strained relationship.

Besides, Jake did not say anything. They were guessing either Megan was not serious about this program, or he did not love her enough. In this ambiguous situation, Mia was the more favorable option. That was also the reason why she wore her heels boldly. She simply could not be bothered to go along with this audition.

Osmond instructed, "Since you created this mess, clean it up yourself. Until then, no more acting." He studied her reaction, but her obsidian eyes remained unfathomable.

The silver lining was, Mia had gotten better at cleaning her mess. She was no longer easy prey for Megan.

Meanwhile, Megan felt revolted by the conversation between this pretentious duo; their ability to spout lies was on a whole new level. Even so, she held back because she had no energy left to argue. Besides, she could not risk triggering Mia in this vulnerable state.

She waited quietly for the ambulance to arrive. Only when she laid on the stretcher did she stare viscously at that three wolves in sheep's clothing.

Jonas paid Megan a visit soon after she arrived at the hospital. She was startled to see his face. "What're you doing here?"

Meanwhile, the doctor had just finished wrapping the bandages for her. She needed at least a week to recover. This scene stirred mixed emotions within Jonas. In place of his usual smile were worried frowns. It had been a long while since they met. The raw anger they felt back then had already formed a scab. Although they were no longer hurting, the rift was still present. Jonas no longer had the courage to replace out what actually happened. He was afraid the truth might make him regret his actions.

He decided to give in to his heart, craving to see the person he cared for. No matter who she belonged to, at least he could still stay by her side.

"Someone who auditioned with you told me about the accident, so I came here to visit you." Megan couldn't tell whether he was just awkward or bad at lying.

As she forced a smile, her mind wandered back to that unpleasant memory from before. This made her heart heavy. On the bright side, since he was willing to approach her, it meant that he must have thought things through.

For the first time in a long while, she looked at him. His eyes emanated genuine concern and were void of any unnecessary expectations. She let out a sigh of relief.
