Chapter 3343 Using Love As An Excuse

When the thought hit her, Mia’s fury sprang to life. She strode toward Herman in her high heels and slapped his face forcefully.

The next moment, her pitchy voice rang out, “Herman Clear, you promised you wouldn’t let Megan know about it once I paid your gambling debt. How could you lie to me?”

Being knocked sideways, Mia shook her head in disbelief. She staggered a few steps backward as her legs gave way, and she immediately held onto the chair to steady herself.

Initially, she gave Herman the hush money mainly because Osmond was worried that Jake might take revenge on her. If Herman told Megan that she was the one who plotted everything, it would cause her a lot of trouble.

Hence, that was why she bit the bullet and drank with Anderson.

Mia had given a huge amount of hush money and even slept with other men only for Megan to tell her that she already knew about her being the culprit. It was just that Megan was keeping silent all the while, for she didn’t want to bother about it.

Upon that realization, Mia lowered her head, and her fingers trembled. All she wanted at that moment was to flay Herman alive.

“No… Mia, I lied to you because I love you!” Herman cried out.

Hearing him using love as an excuse, Megan was so disgusted that she started to retch.

She could sense Jake’s gaze falling upon her, yet she dared not look at him. She knew he must be unhappy with her for not telling him about Herman and Mia’s misdeeds.

Yet, she never regretted it. If she told him earlier, they wouldn’t get the chance to witness this farce.

Unlike Megan’s lightheartedness, Mia was in agony. Glowering at Herman, she clenched her fists upon hearing him saying he loved her.

She was so angry that her hands were shaking. With all her might, she once again slapped Herman’s face. “Shut up! How dare you say you love me! You have lied to me for my money. Not only that, you even approached me on purpose when I was in despair and played with my feelings. Herman Clear, I should be grateful that I finally found out about your true color!”

Deep down, Mia didn’t have high regard for this man. It was just that he was the only person who was there for her when she was at rock bottom.

In fact, she was using Herman to make herself believe that she was still the old Mia, that she was still the pure and sweet young lady from before. After all, being a man who liked her before, Herman was not disdainful of her just because she had slept with Anderson.

Unfortunately, it was all just her self-delusion. Not only was their relationship driven by money and sexual desire, but it also lacked reciprocity. She was the one who gave while Herman was the one who got all that he needed.

Herman had made use of her, and she became her enemy’s laughing stock after seeing how stupid she was. Her life was a total failure.

Before this, Mia had lived a glorious life. But now, she almost ruined her future because of a b*stard and a b*tch.

Fortunately, it was not too late to correct her mistake. Be it Megan or Herman, she would make them suffer.

“Mia, trust me! I really do love you!” Herman called out.

His voice brought Mia back to her senses. Disregarding his words, she cast her eyes at Megan and Jake. The two of them were gloating over her misfortune, looking at her with their eyes full of pity and a hint of glee. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

It was already great mercy of them that they didn’t rub salt on her wound.

Mia soon composed herself and held her head high like a phoenix that had risen from the ashes.

Without sparing a glance at Herman, she scoffed, “Get lost! If I see you again, I’ll make sure you end up in Lostaria!”

Megan was surprised as it was rare to see Mia being so adamant. It seemed like Herman’s deception had really hit her for six that she changed into a completely different person.

She couldn’t help wondering if Mia would wise up after this. As her sister, she honestly thought Mia was a simpleton.

In the end, Megan and Jake left the scene before the farce even ended and went back to join the production crew.
