Chapter 3289 Pierced In The Heart

At that point, she was trapped between a rock and a hard place. However, all she could do was move forward.

"Stop talking. I'll give you three seconds to get in.”

Just when she wanted to retort, Jake interrupted her blatantly. Having lost her rhythm, she suddenly didn’t know what to say.

At that moment, she figured obeying him was the best course of action.

With that in mind, she no longer resisted. She then got in silently with her heart filled with anxiousness.

"Did the filming go well?”

As the car began to drive, Megan listened to Jake's dispassionate words. Suddenly, she was unable to grasp what his thoughts were and stumbled in her replies.

When he saw how nervous she was, Jake tsk-tsked her and could no longer hold back the exasperation he felt.

Despite being the person being “cheated” on, do I now have to care about her feelings instead? Squinting his eyes and pursing his lips, Jake bellowed, “Megan, we need to talk!”

Combined with the rumble of the speeding car, his shout shook her to the core. With her shoulders trembling, she knew this was the storm she had to face.

Taking a deep breath, Megan decided to cast aside the words that she had prepared. Instead, she raised her head and looked intently at Jake.

Crossing her legs, she collected herself and sincerely explained, “Those rumors are not true. Jonas has been framed, so I have to help him.”

After explaining the situation in simple terms to him, she stared at Jake's lowered face. As the shadows that fell across it hid his emotions, Megan was unsettled by the guilt that started to well up within her.

She didn't think that Jake would accept her explanation. But she hoped that after he was done being angry with her, he could understand her feelings and where she was coming from.

If they intended for the relationship to go further, this was a necessary trial which she had just brought forward on their behalf.

After a long silence, Jake finally lifted his head out of the shadows. Turning around slightly, his gaze was filled with contempt. “You sound as if you have done the right thing. Do you actually feel that you have come up with the perfect excuse?”

Megan had expected him to be demanding in his questions. Ignoring his incendiary tone, she lowered her gaze and didn't intend to defend herself.

“That never crossed my mind. I know that you will be angry with the result but I don't have a choice.”

Don't have a choice? Jake sneered as he lifted her chin. His insidious laughter didn’t contain an ounce of emotion.

“No one forced you to do it. At the end of the day, Mr. Whittemore, the man responsible for slandering Jonas, is a member of Sky Entertainment. Despite having waited many days for your call, you never intended to tell me about this. Therefore, is starting a rumor with Jonas part of your plan to leave me?”

Jake uttered every word through his gritted teeth. Despite her chin turning red from his forceful pinch, he had no intention of letting go.

Megan gritted her teeth to endure the pain. She neither yelled nor cried. Staring intently at him, she showed little emotion on her face.

She had long expected that once the trust disappeared, suspicion would only grow between them. When she didn't respond, the frustration within him intensified, tormenting him further. Hence, his expression changed drastically while his tone became icy cold.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Is this your way of implicitly admitting to it? Before this, you denied that you were two-timing. So what do you have to say for yourself now?”

Unable to tolerate her silence, Jake chose the most hurtful words to vent his frustrations. However, Megan wasn't affected by it and only let out a long sigh at the end.

Raising her gaze, her eyes were filled with helplessness and exhaustion. The moment Jake saw it, he felt as if he was pierced right in the center of his already fragile heart.
