Chapter 781

Clara turned to leave, but Simon stuck to her like a shadow, refusing to give up. "Clara," he called after her.

She stopped, clearly losing patience. "If you keep following me, I'll have to do something about it."

Simon scoffed to himself. He was sure her earlier judo throw had just been a fluke if it came down to it, she was no match for him. He could take her away by force if he wanted, bring her to another city, somewhere the Fergusons couldn't touch her, somewhere Dylan wouldn't even be a memory.

Just imagining it made his heart race. He reached out and grabbed her wrist, holding her tight.

"Come with me. Get in the car. There's a lot we need to talk about. If you keep going after Dylan, my grandfather won't let you off easy. He's watching you, Clara. He's already called the Fergusons overseas, and their elders are flying in soon to talk about a marriage alliance with the Chester family. Don't you see? You've already been pushed out. And Dylan-he doesn't even remember you. Honestly, before you, he didn't care about women at all."

He barely finished before Clara's knee slammed into his stomach.

Simon crashed back against the car, gasping for air, pain twisting his face. He stared at her in disbelief-when had she gotten so strong?

Clara stood over him, her expression cool and calm. "Stay out of my life."
