Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run novel Chapter 333

Once Clara got home, she dove into finding out who had been in touch with Greysen, and to her surprise, she hit the jackpot.

Back when Johnny was still around, Greysen had always been itching to take over the company, but he didn't have enough shares. All he could do was play the seniority card. Everything changed when he teamed up with Victory Capital, and suddenly, he had some real power to throw around.

Victory Capital didn't have any ties with the Bradford Group initially. They jumped on the Greysen bandwagon because, five years ago, Clara had unknowingly ticked off the heir of Victory Capital. No one knew what she did to get on his bad side, but he definitely held a grudge.

Reading through this, Clara felt a headache coming on. She didn’t even know who this heir was. Following this thread, she finally stumbled upon a name—Darrick.

She tried to jog her memory but came up blank, so she called Scarlette, her go-to for everything.

"Darrick? You mean the Victory Capital heir? I think he lost an eye, and since then, he's stayed out of the public eye."

Lost an eye? That couldn't be her doing, could it?

“Do you think I had anything to do with his eye injury?”

“I’ve never heard that. The juiciest gossip about you in the Capital is your thing for Simon. Besides that, you’ve flown under the radar; no one links you to anything unless it’s Simon-related.” Scarlette paused to pour herself a glass of wine.

“But this Darrick guy, he’s a bit off his rocker and has a nasty streak. He’s messed up a lot of young women before. Remember the rumor? He was obsessed with Quinn, openly declared it a few times, and then, out of nowhere, his eye got injured. He was already a brooding type, and now he’s probably even darker.”

Clara couldn’t be bothered with these old tales. If Darrick was messing with the Bradford family, she had every right to push back.
