Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 249

If Clara hadn't known Dylan's naturally aloof personality, she might've thought he was purposefully trying to scare her earlier. But that wasn't Dylan's style. As she rubbed her knee, Clara couldn't help but mumble to herself.

Dylan maneuvered his wheelchair past her, and she hurried to keep up. After today, she realized she couldn't afford to mess around in front of him anymore; even with his own family, he could be so ruthlessly decisive. Clara's thoughts were tangled as she carefully pushed his wheelchair, replaying Lincoln's look of shock before his demise. Who would've thought Dylan would act so swiftly, without a moment's hesitation?

A guy like him, who seemed uninterested in women, appeared to be flawless. A chill ran down Clara's spine. It made sense that someone without flaws could reach such heights in the Capital and even gain fame overseas.

Dylan watched her with a knowing look, aware she was trying to get on his good side. She was always adaptable, knowing when to bend and when to stand firm. He said nothing.
