Chapter 3358 First Female Lead Role
Megan nodded, excitement gleaming in her gaze. She declared smugly, “If I get selected, it will be my
first female lead role. But there are still other skillful actresses out there. At least I have a huge chance
of landing the role.” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
She knew her place, for the actress chosen for the lead role in The Royal Wife in her past life was
professional and exceptional.
Jake noticed her pensive look and tapped his fingers against the couch in an awkward manner.
She won’t let me help her. If she’s like the others who pester me to achieve success, she would’ve
received plenty of jobs now.
Never mind. I should stop thinking about that. Otherwise, my illness will return.
Jake changed the subject abruptly. “Even if you didn’t come today, I’d go to you soon.”
Megan froze and blurted out, “Why would you come to me?”
Jake’s gaze darkened as his voice grew solemn. “You mentioned Herman Clear previously. I remember
he was just an unpopular celebrity. Recently, when I went to meet up with a friend for work, I found out
he’s working for my friend.”
“What?”
Megan’s expression stiffened as though she had no idea what he was talking about.
Did Herman go to Jake’s friend after his fallout with Mia?
I don’t think Herman’s working for his friend. He’s spouting nonsense.
Megan’s expression grew solemn as uneasiness crept up her heart. Jake was her enemy in her past
life, so he could send her to hell any minute. Her tingling instincts told her danger was coming.
Turning over, she knitted her brows and asked, “Did you guys talk a lot?”
Jake took in Megan’s somber expression. He pondered for a while before nodding. “Yes. At least I
remember him now.”
Megan shuddered involuntarily with an explosion of goosebumps all over her body. She might be the
only one who knew how terrifying Jake’s words were.
Could Jake be the Mr. Wilson that Herman kept talking about?
Megan refused to believe it. It was a huge blow to her.
She lowered her gaze and clasped her hands to suppress her emotions. Jake was watching her
closely.
He couldn’t understand why she suddenly grew nervous. “Are you upset by the fact that I know Herman
Clear?”
Megan’s shoulders trembled as she turned over to meet his gaze. The concern on her face was evident
as she replied, “No. It’s fine for you to know him.”
“You’re still lying,” Jake remarked as displeasure flitted across his face. Clearly, something about
Herman was bothering Megan.
Jake knows something’s wrong. I can’t say anything as this concerns my life. I need to keep this a
secret.
If I reveal it to someone, my fate might change.
She averted her gaze and muttered, “I’m sorry. Just pretend you didn’t see that.”
After spending time with Megan, Jake knew how stubborn she could be. Even if he forced her to spill
everything right now, she wouldn’t abide by his command.
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He could only resort to excuses to
distract himself.
“Alright. I will pretend I didn’t see that so you can stand your ground,” Jake responded sternly as his
expression clouded over.
“This is between you and him. It has nothing to do with me.”
Megan dissociated herself hastily. Initially, she wanted to confirm the matter, but she was now
overwhelmed with terror. She had no idea how to balance the love and fear in her heart.
