Chapter 3159

When Jonas realized the two were silent, his gaze landed on Megan as he softly muttered, "We have surveillance cameras here.As long as we check the footage, we'll know where it is.If it's really her who did this, we'll send her to the police station.Jacie, there's no need for you to dirty your hands for this.”

Although he was right, Jacinta was still furious.

There was no way she cared about a mere necklace, not to mention the fact that she was not wearing any necklace; she only wanted to take revenge on the ignorant woman.

As Megan looked at Jacinta's frustrated expression, she laughed inwardly.

At the same time, she let out a quiet sigh of relief.

If Jonas had not stood out to defuse the situation, Megan would have continued with her plan. "Well, then.We'll find out the truth when we check the surveillance footage,” Megan calmly uttered. Unbeknownst to everyone but Megan herself, there was a slight tremble in her voice.

Despite her dissatisfaction, Jacinta could do nothing about it.

She stomped her foot in anger before shooting a glare at Donna.

"Hurry and check the footage!"

Donna visibly shuddered from Jacinta's roar, and she mumbled her replies before running toward the security control room.

At that, Megan huffed, but she did nothing to expose Jacinta.

As long as Donna went, it would not matter even if Jacinta was not actually wearing any necklace. After all, Donna was one of Jacinta's people, and she would cover up the incident for the latter. Minutes later, the crowd dispersed.

However, Megan remained standing on the same spot.

Just as she was about to ask Jonas why he was helping her, Jacinta's voice traveled into her ears again.

"Jonas, listen to me..."

When Megan lifted her head, she saw Jacinta about to explain something to Jonas.

However, he rejected her.

At that, Megan laughed, feeling both smug and exasperated.

Jacinta's action had disgusted Jonas, and he was clearly maintaining a distance away from her now. Megan knew Jacinta was going to hold her accountable for that as well.

As the confusion in her heart was still present, when Megan saw Jacinta looking upset and no longer following Jonas around, Megan secretly went after him.

After a short jog, Megan caught up with him before he could retreat to his own green room.

She was panting when she grabbed the edge of his shirt.

Raising her head to look at him, she questioned, "Why did you help me?"

It was a straightforward question.

Perplexed by the sudden appearance of Megan, he quietly pulled his shirt away from her grasp and took a step back.

"I said I couldn't bear watching it.I thought you came to me to thank me.”

After evening out her breaths, she smiled and cheekily replied, "Of course.I'm immensely thankful to you."

Jonas hummed as he folded his arms.

Then, he hunched over and narrowed his eyes before enunciating, "But I hate you.”

Who would like a woman who used them? Megan knew what he was thinking, so she did not mind his words.

She sighed before mumbling, "I know, but since you've helped me, I'd like to be honest with you.

I planned whatever happened that day.

Part of why I've gotten my first role is because of you.

I'll remember this forever, even if you hate me"

The woman in front of Jonas continued to mumble under her breath, Jonas realized she looked nothing like the calm and steady woman she was a moment ago.

However, Jonas remained expressionless as he listened to her.

He was used to seeing the tricks and traps of the entertainment industry, so he knew to take everything with a grain of salt.

Moreover, Megan had set him up in the past.

"Enough.You're done using me, so please stay away from me from now on.That'll be the best kind of thanks from you.You don't need to take what happened today to heart”

Jonas did not want Megan to assume that he was a kindhearted, righteous man, and he did not want Megan to overthink the incident.

Thus, he did his best to look apathetic to the matter as he spoke in a placid tone.

Megan lowered her eyes and stared at the bottom of Jonas’ pants.

She knew no one would trust her—not that she expected him to trust her anyway—but she did not want to owe anyone any favors.

However, she would remember what Jonas had done for her today.
