Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run novel Chapter 390

The bodyguard had no clue the car was Clara's, and the security footage showed it was another woman who did the damage, not Eden. Eden's face lit up with satisfaction. She shouted towards the next room, clearly enjoying the moment. "Clara, how dare you accuse me like that!"

The police station walls were thick, so Clara could only see Dylan talking to Eden, not hear their words. But when Eden started yelling, Clara stepped out, ready to confront.

Eden stood tall, her voice dripping with false innocence. "So, you tried to pin the car scratch on me? Really, Clara? That's low. And Dylan, how could you take her side? I didn't touch her car!"

Clara turned her attention to Dylan, who was just now realizing the whole mess involved Clara and Eden. Clara stayed calm, but there was a sharp edge to her words. "Eden, you argued with me, and suddenly my car gets scratched? You were right there. Who else could it be?"

Tears began to form in Eden's eyes. She turned to Dylan, kneeling and pulling on his sleeve. "Dylan, she's being so unfair!"

Dylan's hand clenched slightly, his gaze lowered. "It really wasn't her."

Clara knew Dylan had a soft spot for Eden, but this was too much. She opened her mouth to speak, but words failed her.

Eden's smug expression was infuriating. Clara swallowed her anger, knowing that as long as Dylan backed Eden, there was no way to fix this.

Then the police chimed in. "Ms. Clara, after reviewing the footage, it's clear Ms. Eden wasn't involved."

Clara hadn't seen the footage herself. She let out a bitter laugh, "Fine, I'll just take Mr. Dylan's twenty grand and move on. Goodbye."

She grabbed her bag to leave, but Eden wasn't done. "Wait, you owe me an apology for accusing me."
