Encore of the Avenging Muse (Sylvia and Rupert) novel Chapter 33

Sylvia settled herself down to steady her thoughts before leaning in to confide in the only officer she felt she could trust.

"Could you help me..."

"Sure," the officer nodded.

After laying everything out, Sylvia felt a weight lift off her shoulders.

Wanting to spare the officer any trouble, she inhaled deeply and said, "I've said all there is to say. I don't want to put you in a difficult position. Just do what you have to do with me."

The female officer had been decent to Sylvia, and the last thing Sylvia wanted was to get her in hot water with Rupert. So, she obediently held up her cuffed hands.

The officer hesitated for a moment while looking at her, and then chuckled, "Actually..."

She started to say something more but then stopped, leaving her sentence hanging in the air. Then she uttered meaningfully, "Staying here might be the safest option for you, don't you think?"

"Safe?" Sylvia was puzzled but nodded, "Thank you."

The officer seemed to want to say more but eventually shook her head and left the room without another word, uncuffing Sylvia before she left.

The story somehow made its way online. Bridget, in an interview, was tearful, insisting Sylvia was innocent. Yet, her expression was laden with unspoken pain and grievance, and she inadvertently revealed her injured arm.

Following her and Rupert’s official announcement, Bridget, celebrated as a brilliant jewelry designer, had garnered a considerable online followers.

Once the interview was posted, eager fans vowed to teach Sylvia a lesson, staking out at the school.
