Encore of the Avenging Muse (Sylvia and Rupert)

Chapter 612

In a daze, Sylvia suddenly noticed a napkin appear in front of her.

She was about to refuse, but then a tear rolled down her hand.

"Thanks," she said quietly, her voice barely above a whisper.

"He's alright. Let's head out," Chris reassured her.

Sylvia nodded, quickly turning away and dabbing her cheeks as she hurried out of the bedroom.

Orson followed them out too.

He looked a little pale, but he kept his composure, the mark of a true professional.

He stepped up to Sylvia and said apologetically, "Ms. Lloyd, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lost my cool."

Sylvia shook her head and asked, "Have I always had people like that around me?"

"Yeah," Orson explained. "It's easy to get in, hard to get out. In this world, only the dead stop being a threat."

Sylvia's face went white.

She'd thought if she just stayed away from Rupert, everything would finally calm down.

Turns out her life was worth way more than she'd ever imagined—almost laughable, if it didn't feel so cruel. They'd scorn her one minute, then pay big money to get rid of her the next.
