Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 301

Greysen's smile widened as he spoke to Jacob, "Come meet Clara. You young folks always have so much to talk about. Get to know each other. Clara, Jacob here is on the rise, destined to be a big star. Dating someone like him will definitely boost your social standing."

Jacob felt a twinge of irritation. Before he came, he'd been warned to make a good impression on Clara, use his looks to win her over. Once they were married, he could do whatever he wanted, even if it meant ignoring Clara. The goal was to marry her and control Ryan.

But when he saw Clara, he was caught off guard by her beauty. She was even more striking than top actresses. The idea of being with someone like her was tempting, and his smile turned genuine.

He offered his hand, "Hi, Clara. I'm Jacob."

Clara looked at his hand without saying a word. After a few moments, she slowly shook it. "Hi."

Nearby, Ryan was getting restless. Worried Clara might fall for Jacob's charm, he called out, "Clara."

Greysen quickly put a comforting arm around Ryan's shoulders, "Ryan, this is your sister's business. Stay out of it."

Ryan felt uneasy and let down by Clara. How could she be so easily swayed by every handsome face?

Greysen and his group were pleased, their expressions smug.

"Jacob, make sure to spend more time with Clara," Greysen instructed.

Sitting next to Clara, Jacob was feeling pretty pleased with himself. A beautiful woman like her? He definitely wanted to be with her.
