Encore of the Avenging Muse (Sylvia and Rupert)

Chapter 178

As the car pulled up to the apartment complex, Rupert's phone rang before it even came to a complete stop.

Sylvia glanced over, knowing all too well it was Bridget on the line.

After the dean left with the security guards without achieving his goal, it was only a matter of time before Bridget would make her move. To claim she had nothing to do with it would fool no one.

Well, no one except Rupert.

The moment he answered, Bridget's sobbing voice echoed from the other end.

Sitting by the window, Sylvia couldn't catch the whole conversation, but from Bridget's tone, she could tell she was playing the victim. Rupert's voice softened, "I'll be right there."

As the car stopped, Sylvia lost interest in eavesdropping and quickly opened the door to get out.

Rupert reached out, stopping her. "I've got to handle something and won't be coming down. I'll have the driver stay to help with your stuff." "Sure."

Shrugging off his hand, Sylvia didn't look back as she stepped out of the car.

Watching her leave, Rupert frowned slightly before gesturing to the driver and Orson to assist with the luggage.
