Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 735

Clara didn't say a word. Back in the car, she just sat there, hands still, staring at her phone before doing anything else. She meant to call Ryan-she'd been gone so long, he was probably out of his mind with worry.

But as soon as her screen lit up, a photo flashed across it: Dylan and Tara. The woman's skin was covered in marks, but Clara knew that dress-Tara had worn it before. The man was definitely Dylan.

Her finger hovered, frozen. She just stared at the photo, speechless.

Charles craned his neck to look, then slapped a hand over his eyes. "Whoa, that's way too much for my innocent eyes! Who sent you that? Wait-don't you have this number saved as 'husband'? So Dylan sent you that picture? Is he cheating on you and actually bragging about it?"
