Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 878

"Lucius, Michael, what are you two really after?"

Lucius gave her a sly smile. "If you want to stop me from selling my shares, you can—but first, you have to go to this address. Meet the person waiting for you there, and you'll understand everything."

He handed her a slip of paper.

Clara took it and glanced down.

It was for a hotel-one of the Montgomery Corporation's upscale properties. What were these two even planning?

They wouldn't go so far as to set her up with another man just to hurt Dylan, would they?

Lucius brushed past her. "I've got a meeting with our rival company at nine tomorrow morning. Whether you show up tonight or not is your call."

Clara stayed where she was, watching the two men disappear down the hall.

There was hope in Conlan's eyes. The CEO adored his wife-how could he just vanish?

She'd tried calling Richard, Jackson, Nicholas-none of them knew anything.

It was like Dylan had just disappeared the minute he returned.

Conlan sighed. "Maybe the CEO got tied up with something. He'd never leave you on purpose-that's just not him. But with Lucius and Michael teaming
