A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 3184

Apparently, Jonas couldn't stand to see the netizens hurl insults at Megan, so he defended her on Twitter. However, the latter couldn't bring herself to be grateful to him.

“He's only adding fuel to the fire.” Megan's expression hardened, pressing her lips together. “His fans are going to scold me again.”

The two women recalled the last time Megan sought Jonas' help for a publicity stunt because she wanted to secure a role, but she ended up being ostracized by all the netizens. She didn't want history to repeat itself.

“Maybe we should look on the bright side.” At a loss for words, Donna sighed. “Jonas' support proves that you're a woman of integrity, but it's inevitable that you'll be berated for some time.”

Megan held her forehead as countless vexing thoughts ran through her mind. “But he should've informed me beforehand. He's getting himself into trouble as well.”

Donna was getting more worried about Megan, because she could foresee the problems that were coming their way.

What if some extreme fans come over and wait outside this place? We'll have to deal with more than just the Internet trolls

Just as the two were still feeling perturbed, Megan's phone rang. It was an unknown number.

On pins and needles, the two exchanged glances, afraid that it might be a call from an Internet troll. In this era of technology, one could easily find out others' contact numbers.

Glancing at the ringing phone, Megan didn't move an inch. The phone had turned into a hot potato in her eyes.

Irritated by the incessant ringtone, Megan was worried that it was a call from work. “Fine, I'll answer it.” She gave it some thought and decided to pick up the phone.

“Hello.” Clutching her phone, Megan had her heart in her mouth and held her breath while waiting for the reply.

“It's me, Jake.” A steady, soothing voice came from the other side of the phone. Stunned for a second, she was rendered speechless.

Why is he looking for me? It's been days since the farce. Is he going to hold me accountable or reminisce about the past? Utterly baffled, the woman grew edgier.

“Why are you so quiet?”
