Chapter 893

Ryan stopped short, second-guessing himself. Would Clara really want to hear people gossip about Dylan like this?

Dylan used to be untouchable-king of his own world, always out of reach. Even after the accident, when he was stuck in a wheelchair, nobody dared say a thing. But now, it was like he'd lost everything.

Clara pulled up to Palm Bay, barely slowing down. The guard at the gate just waved her through without a word.
