Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 32

Chapter 32

Clara's mood sank as she threw her bag over her shoulder and headed out with Megan trailing behind her.

"Are you really going to carry that bag?" Megan asked.

"Is there a problem with it?"

Megan shook her head, a tinge of disappointment flickering across her eyes. She had hoped for something different...

"Megan, let's head out. Come check out my new place tonight. I'll cook us a nice meal," Clara suggested.

Megan forced a smile, her expression a bit strained. "Sounds good."

Meanwhile, Sonya wasted no time calling Simon after she left. "Simon, I heard Nate's in the hospital. What's the story?"

Even Simon was in the dark about the whole situation. All he knew was that Clara had caused quite a stir in the VIP room. She had embarrassed Colton, and even Richard had to intervene. However, as for why Nate ended up in the hospital, Colton wasn't spilling the beans.

Simon had asked Nate directly, but all Nate did was blame Clara. She was such a magnet for trouble, always stirring things up.

Simon was seriously annoyed. He wasn't a fan of his mom's side of the family, especially his two aunts, whose greed seemed to know no bounds. They always pestered him for money. But thankfully, Clara had managed to keep them at bay for a while.

So why were they suddenly calling tonight?

"Nate is fine," Simon reassured Sonya.
