NovelEnglishChapter 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 | 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."
Bridget watched the man in the video, a strange smile forming on her pale face.

Sylvia knew too much. She had to be dealt with.
The next morning.
Sylvia woke to find Rupert already gone, which didn't surprise her.
He was always an enigmatic figure.
Her foot was healing well, though, as Chris had warned, walking was still a bit awkward.
As she brushed her teeth, Sylvia caught sight of herself in the mirror and instantly sobered up.
Foam in her mouth, she glanced at her wrist.
She was wearing a woman's watch.
It was nearly identical to Rupert's, save for its size.
How much did this even cost?
Sylvia frowned, hurriedly took it off, and stored it in a box to return to Rupert.
Upon arriving at the studio, Freya approached her as if nothing had happened.
"Sylvia, feeling better?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"Great, Ms. Eloise wants to see you in her office."
"Okay."
Sylvia headed for Eloise's office.
Behind her, Freya wore a sly grin.
Sylvia knocked and entered Eloise's office, where Eloise was chatting with a client.
Seeing Sylvia, Eloise smiled. "Sylvia
this client
saw your competition
work and wants you to design his jewelry."
The unexpected opportunity left Sylvia momentarily stunned.
Regaining her composure, she turned to face the man whose back was to her.
It was her first tdesigning jewelry for a man, which was a new challenge. As he turned, Sylvia's smile
vanished.
Hilbert.
"Sylvia, we meet again."
He extended his hand toward her.
Sylvia hesitated, until Eloise prompted her.

She couldn't afford to offend anyone.

Sylvia instantly pulled her hand away, startled.
Hilbert didn't seem fazed, grinning from ear to ear.
"Sylvia, callingMr. Carmen feels too formal."
"That's appropriate," Sylvia replied, keeping her composure.
