Encore of the Avenging Muse (Sylvia and Rupert) novel Chapter 678

The next morning.

The moment Sylvia woke up, Naomi was already waiting by the bed with a tray of fresh food.

"You're awake? Come on, eat a little something."

Not wanting to worry her mother, Sylvia nodded and took the bowl.

But she had zero appetite. After two small bites, she set it down and asked, "Mom, who were you apologizing to last night?"

Naomi's hands faltered. She gripped the hard-boiled egg so tightly her nails pierced right into the whites.

She quickly wiped her hands and continued peeling the shell, keeping her eyes down. "Who else could I be apologizing to? To you, of course. If I hadn't gotten together with Edwin back then, none of this would have ever happened to you."

Sylvia pushed the bowl aside. "Mom, I have never once blamed you for that."

"Alright, enough about me. Why did you come home alone last night? Didn't you say Lester was going to drop you off?" Naomi asked, smoothly changing the subject.

Sylvia pursed her lips. "I broke up with him."

"Broke up? Wait, were the rumors those socialites were spreading actually true?" Naomi asked, visibly shocked.

"What rumors?" Sylvia looked up, confused.

"They saw Lester getting close to a Garcia relative, and apparently, the Garcia family is actively trying to set them up."

The more Naomi thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed. She stood up and began pacing the room.

Sylvia, however, remained completely stoic. She had figured that out the moment Kay had brought the crowd barging into Lester's room the night before.

The whole thing was a trap within a trap.

Both she and Lester had nearly been completely outplayed.

But who exactly was Sienna? And why had she ultimately chosen to help Sylvia?

Too many perfectly timed events had occurred last night.

This wasn't a scheme Fay's tiny brain could have ever concocted.

Even Kay couldn't have executed it with such flawless precision.

Sienna was the missing puzzle piece.

With that thought, Sylvia looked at Naomi, who was still pacing anxiously.
