Encore of the Avenging Muse (Sylvia and Rupert) novel Chapter 675

"Don't play dumb with me! You never intended to set me up with Lester! You used me to drug Rupert and frame Sylvia so I'd play the villain, while you secretly had a backup plan! Who exactly is that Sienna woman?!"

Seeing they were alone in the elevator, Fay shrieked her accusations at Kay.

When Fay had slipped out of Rupert's room, she happened to glance at a wall clock and realized her phone had been set back by nearly three hours.

It wasn't nine o'clock—it was approaching midnight.

Which meant her fainting spell hadn't been an accident. Someone had deliberately set her up.

It wasn't until Kay burst into Lester's room and blurted out Sienna's name that all the pieces clicked together for Fay.

She had been entirely used by Kay!

Watching Fay's hysterical breakdown, Kay knew there was no point in pretending anymore. Fay was bound to be investigated and exposed anyway.

To put it bluntly, she had outlived her usefulness.

Kay let out a dismissive scoff. "Fay, the Langley family built its fortune overseas through shady means. How could the Sanford family ever associate with you? You claim to love Lester so much, so wasn't it a privilege to help him clear away a woman who never belonged with him in the first place?"

"Besides, do you have any idea who is backing Ms. Rayner? What right do you have to compare yourself to her?"

"If I were you, I'd pack my bags and flee the country before Rupert and Lester trace any of this back to you."

Fay's fiery rage dwindled rapidly under Kay's icy, superior stare.

"You... you..."

"Am I wrong?"

With a soft ding, the elevator arrived at her floor.

Kay shoved past a stunned Fay and casually strolled out.

Back in her suite, Kay waved her assistant over.

"Knowing Fay's temperament, she'll definitely bolt immediately. Watch her until she boards a plane. Once she's gone, there won't be any evidence left against us."

"Yes, ma'am."

After her assistant left, Kay dialed Tristan's number.

"The plan failed, because..."

"I'll handle it," Tristan's cold, ruthless voice cut her off.

...

The bachelor party raged on until three in the morning, with most of the guests choosing to stay the night at the hotel.

After seeing her friends off, Reese hurried back to the suite, desperate to explain everything to Rupert.

She pushed the door open, only to find the room completely spotless. It had already been thoroughly cleaned.
