Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 271

After a few hours of brewing chaos, photos of Simon and Quinn had the whole town buzzing.

Clara's phone wouldn't stop ringing, with all the calls coming from Simon. But she was in no mood to talk to him, so she blocked his number with a frustrated sigh. Then Ryan called her.

"Clara, did you see those photos? I'm worried you might be upset."

"Yeah, I saw them. I'm okay," Clara replied, trying to sound nonchalant.

Ryan's tone was serious. "Quinn did this on purpose, no doubt! She's trying to make sure there's no chance for you and Simon."

Even though Ryan knew Clara had lost her memory, he held onto the hope that if she remembered, her feelings for Simon would return.

Clara didn't feel like getting into it. She opened her laptop and focused on work. She still had to keep an eye on the follow-up to the deal with the Dawson family. Jackson had reviewed the contract, but who knew what other tricks he might have up his sleeve?
