Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run novel Chapter 272

Naomi's heart twisted with pain. Being mistaken for someone else in bed by a man was a blow that cut deep.

"Quinn, maybe it's time to let go of Simon," her mom suggested softly. "I can help you find someone who truly appreciates you."

Quinn's eyes flashed with a mix of emotions. "Find someone suitable for me? Where are you going to find that? Do you really think my life is over? This mess is all Simon's doing! He chased after me, and now he's embarrassed and has tossed me aside. No one in our circle wants to be seen with me. Unless Dylan shows interest, I'll never regain any respect."

As she spoke, a fierce resolve blazed in her eyes. Dylan was well-respected, and if he were to choose her, no one would dare disrespect her again.

Ryan, who had been listening nearby, couldn’t hold back any longer. He stood up abruptly. "Quinn, you’re kidding yourself. Even without these rumors, Dylan would never go for you! Do you even know who he is? You’ve got no grip on reality!"

Ryan's words struck a nerve, and Quinn's eyes blazed with anger. She swept everything off the coffee table in a fit of rage. "He can be into Clara, that tramp, but not me? It's just because I haven't had a chance to show him what I’m made of. Once he gets to know me, he won't want anyone else."

Ryan had never heard anything so bold. He knew Quinn wasn't exactly innocent, but her words took him by surprise.

Quinn didn’t see any fault in her thinking. The idea of Dylan choosing Clara over her made her want to tear everything down. The man she desired was infatuated with someone she couldn’t stand. It was a wonder she hadn’t lost her mind yet.
