Chapter 366

Dylan stayed quiet, eyes downcast, keeping his feelings completely hidden.

Clara, still feeling good about the half a million dollars she just landed, gave a friendly smile, trying to lighten the mood. "How about I whip up something light for you at Palm Bay?"

Just as she said that, Nicholas snorted. "A supper at Palm Bay? Come on, Clara, it's obvious what you're really after."

Dylan turned his attention to Nicholas.

Nicholas raised an eyebrow, a smirk on his face, ready to say there was no need to thank him. He was here to put a stop to Clara's plans. But the longer he smiled, the more unsettled he felt.

Dylan asked, "Where's Scarlette tonight?"
