Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 272

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 tto 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 tossedaside. 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 | 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.

If she couldn't find happiness, no one else would either!

Furious, Ryan stormed upstairs, unwilling to hear any more of her wild declarations.

Quinn suddenly dropped to her knees in front of Naomi. "Mom, help me, please. When Anna visits the Bradfords,

swipe her phone and use Dad's situation to keep her there. Once Dylan and | are together, I'll do whatever you

say. Otherwise, I'd rather die!"

With that, she smashed a glass on the floor, ready to use the shards on herself.

Naomi turned pale with fear. She knew Anna was right-Dylan wasn't just any guy. Countless women in the city

were after him with no luck. How could Quinn, with her tarnished reputation, ever hope to win him over?

"Quinn, maybe this isn't the way..." Naomi tried to reason, but Quinn had already cut herself with the broken

glass.

On the verge of fainting, Naomi quickly agreed. "Alright, I'll do whatever you want! Just stop this! Even if no man

wants you, the Bradfords will always take care of you."

Quinn's eyes were filled with disdain. The thought of no man wanting her was worse than death.

Just wait, she thought. She was going to make Dylan hers, and those who mocked her would soon eat their

words.
