Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run novel Chapter 434

The two people who had everyone buzzing at the gala had already made their exit, and the room slowly started to settle. Someone rubbed their eyes and turned to their colleague, asking, "Did I just dream that?"

"Nope, everyone saw it."

The room was filled with high-profile guests, most of them eager to make connections. No one expected Dylan to show up, especially not in such a jaw-dropping way.

After all, it was Dylan.

Even after he moved overseas two years ago, he kept Ferguson Corporation on the map, making headlines in top financial papers around the world. Many tried to get close to him, but very few had the chance. And now, there was a woman sitting on his lap in front of everyone.

People exchanged glances, whispering amongst themselves.

Eden, hidden in the crowd, gripped her glass so hard it shattered, shards piercing her palm. Blood slowly dripped down her skin.

Jeffree stood nearby, nervously trying to help. "Eden, let me take you to the hospital to get that bandaged."

Earlier, Jeffree had spiked Clara’s drink under Eden's orders. Eden had even lined up her brother, Simon, for a scandalous encounter with Clara. If Clara had been caught with her brother in front of everyone, she'd forever be seen as desperate.

But no one saw Dylan’s entrance coming.

It felt like a slap to Eden’s face, leaving her pale and trembling.

Jeffree, worried, reached out to steady her, but she shoved him away.

"Jeffree, you can't even handle this simple task. Useless."

Usually Eden's shadow, Jeffree swallowed his pride, too scared to protest.

Eden stormed out, almost tripping on her way.

When she reached her car, she spotted her brother standing by a pillar, smoking. His calm face was betrayed by his tense, veiny hands.

Clearly, Dylan had outplayed everyone.

But no one thought Dylan had orchestrated this. In everyone’s mind, he never made the first move, unless it was to take over a business and leave others bankrupt.
