Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run novel Chapter 344

"Impossible!"

Simon jumped up from his seat, his voice booming with defiance. His eyes were burning red as he snatched the photo from Aaron's hands.

Aaron had pulled a fast one. The photo only showed the back of some mysterious guy, with no evidence of Dylan holding a gun.

Aaron patted Simon’s shoulder. “Come on, deep down, you know it’s true. I even think Clara might’ve had a thing for Dylan all along. Maybe she was hanging around you just to get his attention. How else do you explain Dylan showing up at her graduation?”

Simon’s face turned even paler, but he and Dylan didn’t look alike at all.

He let out a bitter laugh, not completely fooled. He threw the photo back at Aaron. “If she’s into Dylan, then who’s this guy in your photo? That’s not Dylan. You’re just trying to mess things up between Clara and me!”

Aaron chuckled, lighting a cigarette. “Do I really need to mess with your relationship? I don’t have to lift a finger, and she already can’t stand you. As for this photo, I’m not sure if she likes Dylan or this mystery man. I haven’t figured out who he is yet. But if it’s Dylan, it all adds up. After she lost her memory, she’s been all about Dylan, treating him like he’s the best thing ever. Doesn’t that say something?”

Simon clenched his fists, feeling a wave of humiliation unlike anything before.

He used to brag about Clara being all over him, even made it a joke among friends. Never thought Clara saw him as just a stand-in, someone she could easily ditch.

Aaron took a drag from his cigarette, smirking. “And don’t you think Clara isn’t just some clueless girl? She’s got some of the toughest certifications in the world. Face it, Simon. To her, you were just a game, nothing more than a side note in her life, not even a backup plan.”

Simon's face went ghostly as he stumbled up the stairs, nearly tripping and falling back down.

Watching Simon fall apart, Aaron chuckled softly.

With Lincoln’s body found, Aaron had to sort out the funeral and meet with family. He couldn’t go after Clara just yet, but Simon was easy to manipulate. Even if his story was full of holes, Simon was bound to fall for it.
