With both of them immersed in their own thoughts, Megan pried open the lid with knitted brows. The moment she saw cockroaches crawling out of the lunchbox, she was so startled she backed a good few meters away and screamed in terror.
“Ahhh!”
There was only one thing she feared in her lifecockroaches. She found those tiny creatures absolutely disgusting. And there was currently a whole box of them right in front of her.
“Megan, it's okay. Don't be afraid.”
Still in shock, she failed to notice it when a person appeared next to her. It wasn't until she was tugged into an embrace and felt warmth seeping into her that she gradually relaxed.
Finally, she registered that someone was hugging her.
“You... Jonas?” Megan blinked in surprise. Then, she quickly pushed him away and awkwardly straightened out her clothes.
“Did something happen just now?” Jonas didn't seem to mind being pushed away. On the contrary, he was studying Megan's fearful eyes with worry lining his features.
“No. Don't worry about it.” Megan yanked a stupefied Donna toward her and was about to leave, but Jonas blocked their way.
“Head back first. I need to talk to Megan,” he directed these words at Donna.
“There's nothing to talk about.”
After recovering from her initial shock, Megan reverted to being apathetic and flatly refused him. She had concluded something regarding the girl who gave her the box of cockroaches.
If she's not Jacinto's fan, then she can only be Jonas'.
“Megan!” Jonas was immediately upset. Frowning slightly, he grabbed ahold of her wrist.
After reflecting on what happened backstage, he planned to catch up with her and offer a sincere apology, then break off all contact with her, but he just so happened to witness the cockroaches crawling out of a box.
Isabelle never expected Megan to be so savage. Caught off guard, she was sent hurtling through the air. Her face instantly drained of all color, and she could only slump limply on the ground while whimpering in pain.
“Jonas, hold her down. I need to find her phone.”
Jonas exchanged glances with her and immediately understood. Without further delay, he complied, walking forward to press Isabelle down as Megan searched for her phone.
Megan didn't bother checking if there was a video. Instead, she reformatted the phone before tossing it back to Isabelle. “Be careful next time. Don't mess with people you shouldn't.”
Isabelle lay sprawled on the ground, looking absolutely miserable. At the sight of her bloodless complexion and long, windswept hair, one might even mistake her for an evil spirit from the depths of hell.
She forced out a mocking laugh and mumbled weakly, “Jonas is mine... Why didn't that
poisonous scorpion sting you to death?”
