Chapter 36
Alden froze, his face turning ghostly pale. In a panicked gesture towards the screen, he blurted out, "So what if it
is? Doesn't this just prove that Sylvia fedfake news to frMs. Simpson?" Nods of agreement rippled
through the crowd.
Sylvia, however, looked at Bridget with a serene expression and asked, "Ms. Simpson, you of all people should
know who leaked the information to this reporter. Aren't you going to say something?" Bridget's composure
faltered for a moment before she quickly retorted, "How is this related to me? | didn't do it!"
Sylvia fixed her gaze on her, "Did | say it was related to you, Ms. Simpson? | only mentioned that we had cleared
everything up in the dean's office that day. So, why didn't you clarify things when the reporters and fans
misunderstood me?" "I, I..." Bridget was at a loss for words and resorted to crying to mask her inability to
respond.
Sylvia, feigning compassion, said, "Ms. Simpson, there's no need to cry. You're making it seem like I'm bullying
you. Just helpexplain it to everyone, and we'll be fine."
Asking Bridget to explain on her behalf was akin to a public execution. Bridget, obviously reluctant, cast a pitiful
glance at Rupert.
Sylvia also looked at Rupert in a self-deprecating manner, thinking, "Rupert, it's your turn to choose again."
As expected, Rupert stepped in to shield Bridget.

Behind Rupert, Bridget wiped her tears and cast a covert glance at Sylvia, as if saying, "See, Sylvia, what does it
matter if you slept with him? He will always choose me!"
In fact, Sylvia had anticipated this outcome; she gazed emotionlessly at the couple, yet her heart involuntarily
tightened, spreading pain to her limbs.
She clenched her fists, keeping her composure intact.
Rupert, with a cold stare at the unemotional Sylvia, felt unseen waves in his eyes. A sense of irritation gnawed at
him, as if something was slipping out of control.
Sensing something, Bridget clung to his arm with a meaningful look, "Rupert, even though Sylvia claims her
account was hacked, the fact that no one has been found yet isn't surprising, is it?"
The female officer interjected, "Ms. Simpson, rest assured, we've caught the person. Bring her in!"
To Bridget's astonishment, Freya was brought forward.
Pointing at Freya, the officer sternly said, "Freya, think carefully before you speak."
Sylvia watched the scene unfold with a slight smile. "Oh, Freya," she thought to herself, "are you loyal to your
master, or is this a case of a catfight?"
From the corner of her eye, Sylvia noticed Rupert watching her. He still exuded a dangerous aura, his expression
unchanged, even unfazed by Freya's appearance.
Sylvia pressed her lips, still unable to decipher Rupert's thoughts, and quickly averted her gaze.
The next second, Freya, with tearful
eyes, looked up and said timidly, "Ms.
Simpson, I'm sorry. It was out of
jealousy that | spoke joel tothe

Bridget, Freya raised her comely face,

and pale face stirring pity. The

Reluctantly, Bridget helped Freya up, "Let it go, we're all classmates here, and | don't want to make a fuss."
