Seeing him leave, Megan was about to follow out when Gertha stopped her and asked, “Megan, what did you do to lure such a man to your house. Can you teach me?”
Megan could not help being disgusted by Gertha, who kept wanting to mess around despite being in her late forties already. She obviously doesn't listen to what Jake's just said.
Holding back her revulsion, she glanced at Garret and replied with a chuckle, “Well, Gertha, you should ask Mia instead. But, she failed though.”
At this, Garret instantly blew up. With a menacing expression on her face, she glared at Megan and hit out. “What nonsense are you spouting, you brat? My Mia is so much prettier than you are. You're clearly the vixen!”
Megan did not try to argue as she asserted calmly, “Yes. She wanted to use her good look to get Jake's attention. However, he seems to have some eye problems as he likes me more.”
As Jake was not there with them, Megan was not afraid of telling some lies. Seeing how much Megan had changed, Gertha was struck dumb.
“Really?” she muttered, seemingly contemplating the truthfulness of Megan's words.
Gertha was not only the promiscuous woman in the village but also a big mouth, who often spread personal things about others to everyone.
Therefore, Megan deliberately said those words to stab Mia in the back so that the others in the village would know her as someone promiscuous, regardless of whether the latter would come back.
“No! It's not true! This b*tch is just talking nonsense! My Mia won't ever do things like that!” Garret shouted emotionally as she defended her daughter, not wanting others to see her beloved daughter as someone like that.
Seeing this, Megan suddenly found herself feeling bad for her.
In the past life, Mia had only returned here once after she became popular in the city. Since then, she had never visited Garret once or brought her to the city for treatment when the latter fell sick.
