Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 338

When Ryan saw Quinn, he could hardly believe his eyes. She was covered in bruises, clearly from a vicious beating.

Furious, he was ready to march to the hospital and demand answers, but Quinn stopped him.

Her face was a mix of fear and exhaustion, and her voice shook as she spoke. "Please, Ryan, don't go after them. I brought this on myself. I've made so many mistakes before, but I've changed. Just visit me sometimes, okay? I'll only be here for two more months. Is that alright?"

Ryan couldn't stand to see her wounds. Reluctantly, he nodded and arranged for someone to look after her in the apartment he had already paid for. He didn't expect Megan to be the one who'd show up.

Megan was just as surprised, standing at the door, trying to process the situation. Her eyes met Quinn's across the room.

Ryan quickly shut the door, worried Megan might tell Clara, and he pleaded, "Megan, please keep this between us. I'm only letting Quinn stay here for two months, then I'll send her abroad."

Megan sighed, "I won't say anything."
