Encore of the Avenging Muse (Sylvia and Rupert)

Chapter 104

Over the phone, Bridget laughed with a carefree malice.

"What do I want? No surprise you can't see it, considering your mom's lowly background. How could someone like her raise anything but a daughter who does nothing but seduce men? Shouldn't I, the future Mrs. Garcia, be the one to set things right? So fond of stealing, huh? I'll show you how to spit it all out! Feeling sorry now? Bitch! You got what you deserved!"

Bridget wished her words could morph into the sharpest blades, slicing Sylvia into pieces. The her right now bore no resemblance to the calm and elegant beauty admired by the public.

"It's simple. Quit working at Eloise's studio, and I promise to treat you and... your mom well."

"Bridget, I won't agree to that."

"You won't understand until it's too late, will you? Just watch how your mom gets humiliated!"

The call ended.
