Encore of the Avenging Muse (Sylvia and Rupert) novel Chapter 193

“You… You're just jealous of me! Can't even keep a man!” Christine slammed her purse on the table.

“Hmph.” Eloise snorted with disdain and walked away, not bothering to entertain such a trivial accusation.

“What do you mean by that? Explain yourself!”

Christine lunged towards Eloise, only to be stopped by her assistant, Bella.

Bella called out, “Security, take her away, and oh, her trash too.”

Just like that, Christine was escorted out.

Sylvia was unfazed by the drama. After all, Christine had brought it upon herself.

While buried in her work, Sylvia noticed Bridget sitting across the room, covering her mouth as if she was feeling unwell, then quietly excusing herself when no one was looking.

Sylvia found it odd but before she could ponder further, her phone vibrated.

“I’ll be home tomorrow, you coming over?”

“Yeah.”

“I’ll make your favorite dish. Come over early and keep me company.”

“Sure.”

Sylvia smiled at the message, planning to spend her day off moving the last of her belongings from the Garcia residence to her apartment.

Not that there was much left.

Living with the Garcias had always been a nerve-wracking experience for her. Once she moved into the dorms, she couldn’t wait to get all her stuff out.

All that remained were some fancy clothes and jewelry that Edwin and Naomi had given her, which she didn’t care much for. They were reminders of the Garcia household.

Perhaps out of a sense of obligation, the couple insisted she keep them, and only then did she agree to go back and retrieve them.

By the time Sylvia looked up from her phone, Bridget had returned to her seat, showing no signs of distress.

Sylvia didn’t think much of it after that.
