Chapter 246
Warren mentioned weaknesses, and his gaze lingered deliberately on Sylvia.
Sylvia felt a bit suspicious, just about to question him when a deep voice cfrom behind her.
"Sylvia."
Rupert strode over with his long legs, dressed in a simple black and white suit that matched his formidable
presence. He exuded such a powerful aura that he needed no embellishments.
In just a few strides, his overwhelming presence was palpable.
Even Warren, with a cigarette smoldering between his fingers, found himself frozen under Rupert's intense gaze,
though his eyes burned with bitter anger.
Rupert, unfazed, walked right past Warren and scooped Sylvia up into his arms, turning to leave.
"Uncle Rupert," Warren's voice slithered out from behind them.
Rupert halted but did not turn around.
Sylvia glanced back at Warren, noting the obsessive look in his eyes, and felt a wave of unease.
Warren let out a cold laugh. "You must not know that Sylvia said she'd be willing to run away abroad withif |
asked."
Hearing this, Sylvia was incensed, wriggling to break free from Rupert's hold, much like a cat with its hackles
raised.
Rupert's grip tightened, holding her firmly in place. He looked down at her with a cool, steady gaze, speaking
each word deliberately, "If her judgment is that poor, | suppose it's my duty to teach her better."

Sylvia's scalp prickled with discomfort, a shiver running down her spine.
Before she could protest, Rupert carried her out of the restaurant, leaving a seething Warren in their wake.
On the way to the parking lot, Sylvia struggled to be let down.
"Putdown! Someone might see us!"
Suddenly, there was a sharp smack.
Her cheeks flushed as she felt the sting on her backside.
Rupert arched an eyebrow, a faint, teasing smile playing on his lips. "Behaving now? Not running off with
anyone?"
"It's not running away!" Sylvia retorted.
"Leaving with him, then?"
Sylvia bit her lip, unable to cup with a rebuttal.
Rupert's dark eyes narrowed slightly, unreadable, as he drove them away in silence.
Back at the apartment, Sylvia hesitated at the door, clutching the handle and avoiding his gaze.
"Rupert, it's late. | need to rest. You should go."
Rupert leaned against the door, effortlessly pushing his way inside.
He looked at her with an inscrutable expression, a hint of coldness in his smile. "Why no answer?"
Sylvia's eyes widened, taking a moment to realize what he was referring to. Leaving with Warren?
He remembered that.
Her heart skipped a beat, her lips pressing tightly together as she tried to gauge his thoughts.
A shadow loomed overhead, and she instinctively stepped back, only for Rupert to gently grasp her waist.
As his presence closed in, she was caught off guard, her legs unsure of where to go. Just as her feet were about
to hit the ground, Rupert shifted, letting her stand on his
shoes.
In an instant, she was enveloped by him.
It seemed without an explanation, he wasn't going anywhere.
Frustrated and embarrassed, Sylvia

Before she could finish, he silenced her with a fervent kiss.
It felt like an eternity before his lips

He gazed at her, voice husky, "Still want to leave?"
"Leav..." Sylvia panted, struggling to form a coherent thought.
