Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 577

She shot Simon a look and said, “Told you so. He did exactly what I said he would. Mr. Simon, let's face it—you and Clara are never going to happen."

Right now, Megan had no way to get close to anyone else in the Ferguson family. All she could do was keep poking at Simon, hoping he'd snap and do something reckless. If he did, she'd be right there to reap the rewards.

Simon sucked in a shaky breath, his hands tightening on the steering wheel. He wanted nothing more than to smash it to pieces.

How could Dylan pull something like this?

His jaw clenched tight. "Tara from the Warren family came back this morning. The Warrens are throwing her a welcome party-she's Grandpa's handpicked daughter-in-law. I'll wait to see what Grandpa says. Also, I've got a job for you: find out if Dylan's hiding a kid somewhere."

He'd meant to ask Eden about it, but Eden had been sent away before he got the chance.

Still, Simon was sure-Dylan definitely had a child, and Eden knew where the kid

was.

If he could track down the child and use them to threaten Dylan, Dylan would be completely trapped.

Years had passed, and she'd nearly gotten used to it. The only thing that hadn't faded was her jealousy toward Clara-it just kept growing.
