Encore of the Avenging Muse (Sylvia and Rupert)

Chapter 248

A loud slap echoed through the room, sending Bridget sprawling to the floor.

Bridget hurt all over but didn't dare utter a word.

Miriam, feeling protective of her daughter, quickly shielded her. "What good is hitting her now? The main thing is to make sure the Garcias don't suspect anything!"

Zavier's chest heaved with anger, his finger pointing accusingly at Bridget. "Who is it? Who's the guy you've been sneaking around with?"

Bridget, feeling guilty, couldn't bring herself to confess. "Dad, don't worry. No one would ever guess who it is, not even Mr. Rupert. I've ended it with him. It was just that one time, after I had too much to drink with Fanny..."

Zavier's expression softened slightly at the mention of Fanny.

Tristan still needed Bridget to smooth things over with Fanny, so for now, Bridget was safe.

He grumbled, "You need to find a way to get Mr. Rupert to agree to invest in the Simpson Group."

Bridget nodded just as her phone buzzed.

She picked it up to find two video clips from Freya.

One clip showed Sylvia trying to get information out of Chris.

The watch!

The little color that had returned to Bridget's face drained away again.

So Sylvia had been tailing her!

She clicked on the next video, which showed Rupert and Sylvia running into members of the Carmen family at a restaurant.

Miriam took note. "Hilbert looks as shameless as ever."
