Chapter 277

Clara's grip on the gun tightened slowly. She was sure Dylan was out of it.

"Mr. Dylan, I'm doing this for your own good," she said, her voice steady.

But before she could finish, Dylan rushed at her.

"Then pull the trigger," he dared her.

Clara stayed calm, aimed for his arm, and pulled the trigger without a second thought.

But instead of a bang, there was just a click. The gun was empty.

She froze for a moment, then noticed the bullets scattered in the trash. Dylan had removed them all.

Before she could react, he snatched the gun away from her.

He pushed her onto the couch, and the gun skidded across the floor.

"Dylan!" she shouted, calling him by his first name for the first time.

A flicker of red danced in Dylan's eyes as he looked at her, then he suddenly laughed.

"You're something else, leaving no room for sentiment."

Clara didn't feel she'd done anything wrong.

"I'm doing this for you, Mr. Dylan. You're not yourself because of the drugs."

Seeing the sweat on his forehead, she quickly added, "If you want a woman, I can find one for you right now, someone who'll make you happy. Or maybe a trip to the Moonlight Club could help."
