Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 91

Chapter 91

Ada and her crew were fuming with frustration after failing to track down Clara. Nate didn't expect his chance to

slip away, vented his anger by slapping a bodyguard. "Useless! You can't even find one woman! Figure out who

was in that car and get the license plate!"

The bodyguard reported the plate number and added, "There was a little flag on the car's hood, not very

noticeable."

Simon, who was nearby, immediately got riled up. "No way!"

In the entire city, only Dylan's car had a small flag at the front, but he hadn't been around for years. His legs

were hurt back then because of Clara, and he likely despised her too much to even think about saving her. The

bodyguards must have been mistaken.

Feeling uneasy, Simon turned to Ada to vent. "Mom, what kind of lousy plan did you cup with?"

Ada took a deep breath and gave his shoulder a reassuring pat. "Simon, why are you getting so wound up over

Clara?"

Simon acted as if someone had poked a sore spot, and quickly defended himself. "I'm not! | just want her to be

humiliated and beg for forgiveness."

Ada took Quinn's hand and placed it in his. "Alright, you'll stick with Quinn from now on. I'll handle the

engagement talk with the Bradford family. Nate likes Clara, and it'll be a double celebration."

The implication was clear: Simon would marry Quinn, and Nate would marry Clara. Clara's own feelings didn't

matter. The Bradford family would definitely agree.

Simon felt like he had a lump in his throat and was too anxious to speak. Quinn, however, smiled and took Ada's

hand. "Ada, my folks are free now. Why don't we drop by? My sister's been messing up a lot lately, and being

with Nate might help her straighten up. My parents wouldn't have to worry about her marriage then."

"That sounds great. | haven't seen your parents in ages."

The two of them quickly nailed down the plan.

Simon felt like his soul had been sucked out and didn't even remember how he ended up at the Bradford family's

place.

Naomi and Johnny were thrilled with Ada's proposal. Naomi's face lit up. "Ada, your idea is fantastic. I've been so

worried about Clara that I've lost my appetite. She's pulled so many stunts, and | was scared she wouldn't find a

husband. I never thought your brother would fancy her. This strengthens our family ties."

Naomi and Ada were tight. Back when Ada was the other woman, everyone else looked down on her, but Naomi

stood by her.

Ada knew the Bradford family would be on board, and she quickly glanced at Johnny. Johnny looked hesitant.

After all, Clara and Simon's engagement had been publicly announced, and changing it now might lead to

gossip.

Ryan chimed in, "Dad, if you're worried about what folks will say, why not give Clara sshares? She's the only

one in the family without any."

The room fell silent at his suggestion. Quinn's expression soured. She'd never imagined her brother thinking this

way. In her mind, the Bradford family was hers, and even Ryan was a rival. Now they wanted to give shares to

Clara? Why on earth would they do that?!
