Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 152

Colton was head over heels for Quinn, but after everything that went down, how could he possibly keep chasing after her? After tonight, he might finally snap out

of it.

Trailing behind Clara, Scarlette finally spoke. "Clara, I've gotta admit, I underestimated you. Do you have another plan tucked away? Colton seemed pretty wound up back there. What if Quinn manages to sweet-talk him? Are we seriously not going to do anything else?"

Clara pulled off her disguise, her eyes twinkling brighter than the stars. “Nah. I know Quinn too well; she won't leave any loose ends."

"What do you mean?" Scarlette asked, intrigued.

Clara gave a sly smile. "She's all about maintaining her perfect image, but now that Colton's seen the real her, he can't be allowed to live."

Scarlette raised an eyebrow, grinning. "You're sharp, really sharp. So, should we step in and save Colton later?"

Clara settled into the car, a satisfied grin on her face. "I've already tipped off the Warren family. They're on their way to rescue Colton. If we save him, he'll just think it's another test of love. But if the Warren family steps in, it'll mean something completely different."

Scarlette gave her a thumbs-up. "That's brilliant."
