Encore of the Avenging Muse (Sylvia and Rupert) novel Chapter 363

Aside from Orson, it was all Rupert.

She deleted everything.

Over the next couple of weeks, Sylvia was swamped. Thanks to Mr. Lennon’s introduction, she’d landed an invite to Eloise’s new product launch, and there was a ton to prepare.

During that time, Naomi tried to get her over to the Garcia family house twice, but Sylvia turned her down both times.

As for Bridget, ever since she got back from her trip to Aspen, she looked absolutely radiant—and, thankfully, had stopped bothering Sylvia altogether.

Sylvia finally had some peace and quiet.

One morning, after another sleepless night, Sylvia was staring at her dark circles in the mirror when her phone rang. It was Naomi.

“Come to the Garcias’ for dinner tonight,” Naomi said.

“Can’t. I’ve got stuff to do,” Sylvia replied, already bracing herself for another round.

“Tristan’s the one inviting you,” Naomi added.

Sylvia paused. “Alright, I’ll be there.”

She hung up and tried to get some more sleep, but it was useless. She just tossed and turned.

That evening, she grabbed a box of mixed fruit from the market—Tristan never cared about what she brought anyway, so she wasn’t going to waste money on anything fancy—and headed to the Garcia family home.

When she walked into the dining room, she was surprised by how many people were there. What was the occasion? It seemed like half the town was present.

Naomi came over and pulled her aside. “Rupert was hurt a while back. Tristan thought it’d be good luck to have everyone over for a proper dinner.”

Sylvia just nodded and followed Naomi to the far end of the table, pulling out her phone as she sat down.

A few minutes later, the room suddenly went quiet. Sylvia could feel someone’s gaze land right on her. She didn’t even look up—she just kept scrolling.

Naomi nudged her and whispered, “Your Uncle Rupert just came in. Can you put your phone away, please?”

Sylvia kept typing. “I’m working. This launch is my first big event—I can’t afford any mistakes.”
