A Touch of Sweetness
Chapter 3116

Chapter 3116

Mia rolled her eyes in exasperation.

With a pout, she strode over to the shade for a sip of water, all the while cursing Megan in her heart.

This b*tch isn't even as beautiful as me.

How could she be a star? If Megan costs me my rise to stardom today, I will make sure that being locked up in her room will be the least of her worries! The crew, though patient, felt extremely irritated at that point.

The atmosphere simmered with dissatisfaction, but nobody dared to voice their displeasure.

If Felix did not want to start, anyone to suggest otherwise will be in for a sound telling off.

Mia was irritated with how calm Felix seemed.

He even lit a cigarette and blew rings languidly.

She stomped over to face Felix, mustering her most demure voice as she spoke, "Mr.Woods, my sister does not enjoy shooting commercials.Please don't trouble the crew any longer.”

After another half an hour, Mia was beyond herself.

The old women of the village had spread the tales about what went on in Garret's household, to the extent that it became common knowledge.

The crew did not attempt to speak up for Mia.

"Since Megan is not here, we won't be shooting this commercial, Felix stated finally.

Mia's face fell at his words.

"Mr.Woods, I can do the shoot by myself” she said desperately, close to tears.

Nobody could fathom how much she hated her sister at that point.

"You?"

Felix retorted with disdain, hardly sparing a glance in her direction.

"If it wasn't for the investor, Megan would be the only star in this commercial!"

This retort was so harsh that a more assertive person than Mia would have been blushing furiously. Felix rubbed it in further.

"Since we won't be filming today, everybody pack up. We're leaving.”

The man then got into his car.

Mia panicked.She wasn't going to let Megan ruin her acting career.

"Mr.Woods, I just recalled? said Mia, thinking fast.

"I think my sister can make it.I'l go home and bring her along.”

She ran toward her home as soon as the words were out of her mouth.

Felix studied her diminishing figure thoughtfully.

"Taylor, follow them and see what's going on" he said quietly to his apprentice.

"Mia, you're home!" Garret cried.

"Your sister burned down the house!" She bounded over to Mia.

Taylor's appearance was welcomed; they were now afforded a glimpse of the type of trouble Megan was worth.

Mia was shocked by her mother's news.

It was fine if Megan had burned down her own room, but Mia had new cotton quilts and many beautiful dresses in hers

She felt fit to strangle Megan to death if those had been burned.

Mia rushed to her room in a panic and saw that it was crowded with relatives.

She shoved her way through impatiently, only to realize that there was no trace of any burn marks to be found anywhere.

The only thing discernible was a scorch mark at the bottom of the broken door.

How does this count as burning down the house? it isn't even enough to light a cigarette! At this moment, the distant relatives animatedly discussed the affairs of Garret and her family.

Megan heard their voices and found an opportunity.

"Mom, hurry up and let me out.The production crew is still waiting for me!" she shouted.

The relatives heard her and pieced together the whole story quickly.

Garret was biased against Megan, her stepdaughter.

To ensure that her biological daughter got the role, she had locked Megan up.

The crowd erupted indignantly as accusations of Garret torturing her stepdaughter flew.

The most fearsome thing in the village was the savage tongues of the womenfolk.

Upon hearing them, Garret smiled awkwardly at her accusers.

When she turned around, she found herself face to face with a furious Mia.

Mia noticed Taylor had a disgusted look on his face, thus she flexed her acting skills and said, "Megan, I told you to go to bed earlier last night, but you didn't want to.Look at you now! You've overslept and kept the production crew waiting!"

She then turned to Garret.

"Mom, let her out, will you? She didn't do it on purpose.”
