Encore of the Avenging Muse (Sylvia and Rupert)

Chapter 241

Chris glanced at Rupert, frowning, "She's lying."

"Yeah."

"Is she up to something again? The whole Carmen Group incident already got you into a fight. What if something else happens? What then?" Chris voiced his

concerns.

"I'll handle it," Rupert replied with a calm demeanor.

"Sure, she's gorgeous, but don't let that cloud your judgment. Besides, her situation is complicated," Chris reminded him again.

Rupert's expression changed slightly, "You're observant."

Chris clicked his tongue, "You're not mad about that too, are you?"

Rupert didn't respond, and together they headed towards the office.
