Chapter 3270 The Argument Between Jake And Jonas

"The fabled artiste of Sky Entertainment is having a chat with a newbie in the same ward? Are you intending to provide more cover stories for the paparazzi? Don't you think that the company has spent enough to cover your earlier rumors?"

Jake continued to glare at Jonas as he sneered at him. His provocative questions and icy-cold tone escalated the tense atmosphere in the ward in an instant.

The two men were glaring at each other with blazing eyes as if they were opponents on the boxing rink. Megan started to feel anxious; yet, she was unable to stop both of them with her current state.

Her face turned grim as she was infuriated by Jake's harshness. Unable to hold back her rising anger, she snapped coldly, "It's very kind of Jonas to pay me a visit and keep me company here. Can you try to be polite to my visitor?"

Upon hearing her words, Jake bit his lips as a glint of ferocity flashed across his eyes.

Jonas's indifference was not the least bit affected by Jake's grim look.

He gestured to Megan to silence her and said casually, "Mr. Wilson, Megan is a great woman. You're wealthy and powerful. Instead of doubting her feeling for you, I feel that you should think of how to eliminate any possibilities of her being targeted and bullied by others again."

Jake was displeased with Jonas. It sounded as if he was merely a paranoid and incompetent man. Jonas was apparently reprimanding him for being unable to protect Megan from being bullied this round. After all, he is just an outsider. Does he think he has the right to interfere?

Jake's face became grimmer when he sneered, "Of course, I don't have to doubt her on that. Yet, I really doubt what's your intention to approach her. As for whatever bullying that was mentioned by you, you'd better check with her first if she is willing to let me help her."

Megan knitted her brows the moment she heard Jake's words.

Huh! So this arrogant man is hinting that I can only blame myself for being bullied as I refused to get his help? Fine, I won't trouble him anymore!

"Jake Wilson, it's alright. I would never ask for your help and trouble you again!" Megan blurted out in great displeasure and indirectly intensified his frustration.

Taking a deep breath, he took some time to suppress the fury within himself and asked placidly, "So both of you have actually discussed earlier and decided to treat me this way, haven't you?"

Despite Jake's placid tone, both Jonas and Megan could sense his stifled exasperation from the burning flames in his eyes. He was obviously seconds from an explosion.

"You think too much. We have never thought of that. Yet, I really dislike it when you doubt anyone without proper judgment. You should learn to trust people and stop making wild guesses." Even though Megan could foresee that she would further trigger Jake's rage, she still voiced out her opinions.

Jake's calmness was easily shattered by her words. Clenching his fists, his face darkened and his stare became vicious.

He snorted, "If that's how you feel, I can only say that you are far too innocent. You're still criticizing others for making assumptions despite your foolishness? How ridiculous is that!"

"Mr. Wilson, mind your words! Don't you think that this is too much?" Jonas raised his voice and rebuked Jake for being bossy and harsh toward Megan. It was obvious that he was not intimidated by Jake. "Keep your mouth shut!" Jake snapped at Jonas. He was already at the peak of his fury. If it was not because Megan was injured and lying in bed, he would surely throw a punch at him to vent his anger. Megan shut her eyes in weariness when the argument was getting louder. She was lost, not knowing how she should appease Jake and talk Jonas into giving up on speaking up for her.

Her temples started to throb as her mind was filled with inexplicit complex emotions.

Knock! Knock! A young nurse knocked abruptly on the door and emerged with a stern look, reminding them to keep quiet so as not to interrupt other patients in the hospital.

Jonas finally cooled his head off in embarrassment. Meanwhile, Jake was leaning against the wall silently and stole a glance at Jonas from time to time.

Megan could sense Jake's profound hostility toward Jonas. Before the tense atmosphere was further intensified, she hinted to Jonas, "Jonas, you go back first. Let's chat again when I get discharged later."
