Encore of the Avenging Muse (Sylvia and Rupert)

Chapter 149

After hearing the exchange, Bailey's laughter grew even louder.

Christine was about to stand up when Sylvia reached out to stop her, signaling her not to rush into speaking.

But Christine dodged her hand, stood up, and said defiantly, "I also think camellia suit you better. This place is called Camellia Manor, which clearly reflects your love and appreciation for it."

Bailey, twirling her ring and with an inscrutable smile, didn't give anything away.

Then Freya rose to her feet.

In a tone of feigned modesty, she said, "Bailey, while I might not be as insightful as them, I believe Paparacha suits you best. For someone as powerful and confident as you, only something that shines even brighter could truly match your brilliance." Bailey turned to Freya, resting her chin on her hand with a raised eyebrow. "You're quite interesting, with quite the perspective."

"Just stating the truth," Freya replied, lowering her head slightly. Her voice carried a mix of pride and caution.

While everyone else praised the camellia ring, she had chosen to stand out by going against the grain - an approach that certainly caught attention.

Suddenly, Bailey's gaze shifted to Sylvia, who had remained silent.
