“Boss, how’s Mia doing now?”
Pursing his lips, Jake replied truthfully, “Pretty good. Starling Media is promoting her. Our company has
also signed several commercial deals with her.”
At this, Garret’s face lit up. However, her face soon clouded over after she glanced at Megan. Then,
she reached out to grab Jake’s arm as she was eager to ask him more questions, but the latter avoided
her grip.
“Boss, I wanna know when Mia can act in TV series?” Garret did not mind that he had avoided her
touch and gave him an earnest look.
Her question made Megan feel pleased. She must have watched me in Transcendent and got very
disappointed as she didn’t see her daughter in the series. Hah.
Jake, who knew exactly why she asked so, replied calmly, “So far, I’ve never heard of any news about
it, but I’m not so sure about it as I’m not close with her.”
Garret was caught off guard. The big boss isn’t close with Mia, so he’s close with Megan?
Thinking of this, Garret shot Megan a cold look as she pointed at her and yelled, “Even she can act in a
TV series, but why can’t my daughter act in one? In terms of appearance, everyone in this village likes
my daughter!”
Seeing how agitated Garret was, Jake had nothing more to say. After all, he came here just to see if
Megan’s house was really in Queenston Village.
Just as he was about to leave with Megan, a shrill voice of a woman was heard saying from outside the
house. “Hey, Garret, I see you have an esteemed guest today!”
Megan looked in the direction of the door and saw a fashionably dressed middle-aged woman entering
the house.
“What esteemed guest? Nonsense!” Garret looked up and saw that it was her neighbor, Gertha Hill.
Shooting Megan an angry glance, she added, “It’s clearly a liability!”
Gertha knew how Garret felt about Megan, so she said nothing and merely smiled while landing her
piercing gaze on Jake.
“Oh, I was talking about this esteemed guest. I thought I heard you call him big boss or something!”
Jake felt uncomfortable with such kind of flattering words. Their way of addressing him made his status
appear subservient and mediocre.
Noticing the glint in Gertha’s eyes, Garret knew what she was up to. Sneering, she glanced at her and
warned, “Come on. Look at the wrinkles on your face! If I tell your husband, he’ll surely beat you to
death!”
Having her intention exposed by Garret, Gertha forced a laugh and immediately explained, “You’re
overthinking it. I just came over to take a look because my eldest daughter is still unmarried.”
“Well, you can stop looking. This is Mia’s man!”
Sitting on the side, Megan found their squabble amusing. She then glanced at Jake and saw the grim Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
look on his face. She knew that he was about to fly into a rage.
“Can you shrews shut the hell up?”
As expected, Jake lost it and rose to his feet, his tall figure appeared formidable in the small space.
Both Garret and Gertha were startled and instantly fell silent as they just stared at his stern face.
“I don’t belong to any of your families. Believe it or not, I want your families to be ruined right now.”
He had never suffered such a humiliation. I can’t believe two country dwellers fight over me like I’m a
cheap cabbage!
He shot a glance at Megan, who was stifling a laugh and became even grumpier. Pushing aside the
chair in front of him forcefully, he walked straight out in frustration.
