Encore of the Avenging Muse (Sylvia and Rupert)

Chapter 161

Bridget, attempting to defend herself, whispered emphatically, "Rupert and I were like a house on fire yesterday. He didn't even make it to the bed before he bonked me. The noise from the phone was just part of the fun. You, relying on slipping something into drinks to get into bed, wouldn't understand." Sylvia scoffed, "Then maybe you should spend some time making him some of that energy-boosting soup."

"You..."

Sylvia, uninterested in continuing the conversation, shrugged Bridget's hand off and walked into her room.

This was a classic case of Bridget trying to play a game and ending up playing herself. But how did Bailey find out about the stuff on Bridget's phone?

...

Down the hallway, Bailey walked with grace, a playful smile on her lips, "Rupert, were you satisfied with my performance just now? But to embarrass your fiancée like that, aren't you mad?"

Yesterday, after finishing a call, she was heading back to discuss some contract details with Rupert when she heard noises coming from Bridget's room.

Initially, she thought it best not to intrude, but upon turning around, she bumped into Rupert, who was coming from the living room. She immediately understood Bridget's scheme. Normally, she wouldn't bother with Bridget, but today, Bridget had the audacity to parade around her turf with her posse. Of course, she had to teach her a lesson. "Don't overdo it," Rupert said, devoid of any emotion.

Bailey laughed, slowly offering Rupert a cigarette and leaning in to light it for him.

"Rupert, did you...enjoy last night? How come you haven't thanked me yet?"

"The contract is short by ten percent."

Rupert turned to light his cigarette, knowing all along she was behind it.

extinguishing the lighter, Bailey clicked her tongue, "Such ingratitude! Helping
