Chapter 3334 Give Me Some Time

There’s no other choice. I’ll have to tough through the humiliation. I can’t drink so much right now.

With that, Anderson made up his mind and determinedly knelt in front of Megan and Jake. The sight of it left the other onlookers in an uproar.

“Mr. Wilson, Ms. Rockford, I was too reckless previously. Please be kind and let me off this once. I won’t appear in front of you ever again!”

Just like that, a dignified seven-feet man had gone on his knees. Jake and Megan both scoffed in disapproval but had no intentions to cause any trouble either. Since the man had already knelt, Jake supposed he could give him a chance to live.

He kicked Anderson and motioned for him to get up. With a cold expression and distant tone, Jake said, “Since you’ve begged for mercy, I shan’t be too ruthless then. Take these bottles and your dirty rag and go. Hurry now, before I regret it.”

With both knees on the ground, Anderson had not expected that he could safely retreat from the situation with Mia. He breathed a sigh of relief, his tense face finally able to relax.

“Thank you, Mr. Wilson! I’ll get lost right now!”

Then, he got some men to take the bottles away as he said goodbye to Jake with a flattering look. He dragged Mia to leave, and although the latter used all her effort to resist, it was to no avail.

Megan watched the scene calmly. Things were looking tough for Mia that night, as Anderson had played around with and destroyed many women in his life.

However, he was powerful and tended to pick smaller celebrities. Thus, even if they died, it would not cause too much of an issue. Mia must have been blind to have gone to him. She was basically asking for death.

After Anderson and Mia left, Megan and Jake also left the private room soon after. The rest of the people were chatting about what had just happened and would only leave very late into the night.

In the parking lot, Megan and Jake entered the car to head home. Silence ensued as if they were trying to hide something.

Unable to stand the suffocating atmosphere anymore, Megan lowered the windows, allowing the cold wind to enter the car, and gave her some relief.

“If anything happens in the future, call me. Don’t try to take it on by yourself.”

She had been staring dazedly at the passing scenery and lights when he spoke. His words seemed to weigh her heart down.

She lowered her eyes, momentarily speechless. The outside lights continuously flickered across her face. “It’s not that I don’t want to call you. I just don’t want to rely on you for everything.”

“I know. I know you’re an independent woman and don’t want others interfering in your life.”

The obvious loneliness in his tone was too much for her to ignore. She lowered her head in silence, then turned to glance at his face, which was hidden in the shadows. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

She hesitated, then said uncertainly, “Will you… give me some time? I really don’t know if it’s time to give in.”

Megan had her own reasons for being insistent on those things. Although she loved Jake, she could not just stubbornly follow her heart as she pleased.

Love, after all, was the most fickle and easiest thing to lose over. Thus, she had to draw the line between such a relationship and work, never allowing them to cross paths.

She had not forgotten that her goal in her current lifetime was to cause Herman and Mia to die terrible deaths.

Jake did not say much else after hearing the reluctance in her tone. His grip on the steering wheel tightened as he nodded and remained silent.

The next day, he was no longer at home when Megan woke up. She massaged her sore back before she noticed a new notification on her phone.

Rubbing her eyes, she clicked on it casually. It turned out to be a piece of news.

It read: The shareholder of a well-known company is suspected of homicide and has been arrested.
