Encore of the Avenging Muse (Sylvia and Rupert)

Chapter 250

Sylvia still had the watch Rupert had left behind in her bag.

She couldn't quite understand why he'd done it.

As she mulled it over, Bridget raised her wrist for everyone to admire.

Wrapped around her pale wrist was a wide, full-diamond watch, with rubies spaced along the band and even the watch face was encrusted with rubies and white diamonds.

At first glance, it looked like a starry sky wrapped around her wrist, making it impossible to read the numbers on the dial.

It looked like a sparkling silver ribbon tied around her wrist.

Anyone with a keen eye would know that Bridget's watch was an auction piece, not something you'd see just anywhere.

And it definitely wasn't cheap.

A colleague held up Bridget's arm, admiring it. "This looks like an antique, the craftsmanship is extraordinary, and most importantly, it suits you perfectly. Mr. Rupert really put thought into this, it must have cost a fortune, right?"

Bridget withdrew her hand, casting a glance at Sylvia's wrist, a playful smile on her lips.

"Some things are priceless when they touch your heart. I like it, and Mr. Rupert doesn't care about the price. In fact, he initially wanted to give me a watch like his own, but I wasn't into it. So he went to the auction house and got me this antique piece."

Her implication was clear-Rupert was madly in love with her.

Even though she had rejected the idea of having a matching watch, he still spared no expense to buy her what she truly wanted.

Just a little offhand comment like that was enough to make some people green with envy.
