Encore of the Avenging Muse (Sylvia and Rupert) novel Chapter 273

The two of them pushed their way to the front without any resistance. As soon as they spotted Freya slumped on the ground, they started cursing her with bared teeth.

"You little brat! I was wondering why you were never around, and here you are, doing this kind of thing! You’re a disgrace!" The middle-aged woman marched over and yanked Freya's ear.

Freya winced in pain, her voice rushed with panic. "Mom, let go of me! Don’t make a scene here. We can talk outside!"

“Go outside? Are you kidding me? You can’t let some man take advantage of you for free! Your brother’s counting on saving up money to get married! If you do this, you’re worth nothing. This man needs to take responsibility.”

The middle-aged woman scolded, her eyes then fixating angrily on Hilbert.

With a sneer, she snapped, “It’s you! You old creep! You’re way too old to mess around with a young girl like her! I’m telling you, if you don’t pay up, you’re gonna regret it! The video’s all over the internet!”

With that, Freya’s father pulled out a pocket knife from his back pocket.

“If you don’t hand over the money today, I’ll make sure you regret it!”

Freya clung to them, pleading, “Please, can we just go outside? I’m begging you!”

The couple threw Freya back to the ground, scolding, “Don’t forget, we only let you go to college because you promised to make a lot of money for your brother. Now your reputation’s ruined, you’re useless!”

Hearing this, Freya felt like the last bit of dignity she had was ripped away, and she sat there like a rag doll.

The celebration had officially turned into a total disaster.

Eventually, the guests took the hint and began to leave on their own.

Soon, the grand hall was left with nothing but towering champagne glasses and vibrant bouquets.

Hilbert tossed a twenty grand hush-money check and bolted with his entourage.

Freya's parents, delighted with the money, walked away, ignoring their bleeding daughter.

Sylvia turned her attention away from Freya and headed out of the banquet hall.

She soon spotted Eloise standing nearby, comforting a tearful figure.

It was Bella.

"Ms. Eloise, please give me another chance. I promise I won’t do it again."
