Chapter 3325 Another Good Turn

"Dream on, Herman. Consider me merciful that I didn't cut you to pieces myself on the spot. Not in your life I'd ever help you."

Her gaze was like an arrow of an icicle, aimed right for his back.

Herman was stunned. What is it that makes Megan hate me so much? Why then did she help me back at the casino, in spite of her contempt for me? Could it be that it was part of a ploy to lure me in?

He was struck by a sudden epiphany while he stood rooted the spot and soaked to the skin. Shock and terror were apparent in his expression.

"So you..."

Herman looked like he might have caught on, to which Megan raised her eyebrows in response. Even if he had figured it out, she had no intention of owning up to it.

She had not forgotten that in her past life about the Mr. Wilson that Herman mentioned in her last memory.

This was the question that Megan had been desperately avoiding.

Now that it came down to this, all that was holding things together for her was her own willful desire to trust in Jake. She hoped that it was not him, and even if it was, she only wished to replace out later so that she could delay making a decision.

In spite of that, a lot of things may change with how Herman had shown up the way he did. After all, his gambling debt from her previous life did not arrive this early, and she had already paid for it in his stead. Since everything had been brought forward, could that Mr. Wilson had already appeared? Could he really be Jake Wilson?

Megan's anxiety was mounting. She was certainly not going to validate Herman's estimations, for doing so would surely pit the two of them against each other.

Although she did not want to appear too chummy with him, at the same time, she did not want things to get too uncomfortable. It was only by getting close to him could she ascertain the real identity of Mr. Wilson in the quickest time possible.

Thus, Megan categorically denied it, "What are you thinking? I helped you out then at the casino out of the goodness of my heart, and I stood to gain from it as well. Don't tell me that you think I set you up on purpose? Things turned out the way they did because you didn't know when to quit while you were ahead."

As pertinent as she sounded, Herman still found it hard to accept, as no gambler would ever attribute his failings to his own greed? They would only blame it on everyone and everything else but themselves. "I don't want to discuss this right now. Hurry up and replace me a hiding spot right now!"

Herman seemed more forceful and the frustration was increasingly apparent in his eyes. Megan snorted as she regarded his miserable and agitated state, "The most I'd do is offer you a hundred bucks to cove your fare to get to Mia. I won't be able to accommodate you here, as I'm currently staying at Jake's apartment."

The mere mention of Jake's name struck fear into Herman's eyes.

He was actually being escorted back by those people to seek payment from the agency, which was surely going to piss off quite a number of people. If he were to offend Jake Wilson as well because of Megan it would become an absolute sh*tstorm.

After weighing up his options, Herman quietly straightened out his thoughts. No matter how much he did not wish to face Mia, he had to do it now because she was in it with him.

"Alright. Give me a thousand, and I'll go seek her out immediately."

Megan did not have much to say in response to Herman's inflated demands. So long as she was able to have Herman go pester the currently out-of-luck Mia, the asking price would be worth it. "Done. I hope things go well for you."

Megan curled her lips and produced a thousand from her purse, which he promptly snatched away before she even extended it out.

She sneered a couple of times. The contempt in her eyes was subtle, but it nonetheless pricked at Herman's pride like a needle. He evaded her gaze and kept his thoughts to himself.

Whether the man liked Megan's attitude or not, he did not have the capital to replace fault with her.

The two of them hurried away from the alley. Herman stood by the side of the road, hoping to catch a ride out. Megan knew that most drivers would not stop for one as lamentably attired as him, so she sucked it up and did him another good turn by flagging a cab down for him. She then calmly sent off the scraggly Herman.
