Chapter 180

Miriam noticed Bridget's pale face and hurriedly picked up the fallen phone, pressing it to her ear.

"Ah! I was wrong! I won't do it again! Ms. Simpson, please save me!"

The chilling screams of several men made Miriam quickly shut off the phone.

Bridget said weakly, "The dean and those three thugs... Rupert knows now!"

"Just calm down," Miriam urged, trying to soothe her. But Bridget shoved her away, her composure cracking.

Abandoning her usual gentle and graceful demeanor, Bridget began pacing the living room like a storm.

"How can I be calm? Rupert told me to endure it! How can I endure this?"

Worried that Bridget's current state might be seen by others, Miriam quickly closed the living room door and guided her to sit down.
