NovelEnglishChapter 7
Under Rupert's icy stare, Sylvia pressed her lips together, trying to keep her cool.
But the pain of the past eight years was too much, and despite her efforts, her fingers trembled, and she turned
her face away forcefully.
Rupert looked away, his voice laced with disdain, "Thinking of getting pregnant behind my back?"
Sylvia frowned deeply, her gaze inadvertently catching Naomi.
The pills were bought by Naomi. Could it be she still harbored hopes of Sylvia marrying Rupert?
But under Rupert's cold glare, Naomi was shaking like a leaf.
Compared to Tristan, Naomi was more terrified of Rupert. She wouldn't dare pull any stunts under Rupert's
watchful eyes.
What in the world was going on?
Sylvia lifted her eyes, surrounded by gazes from all around. Among these, one gaze was particularly striking.
Bridget.
Her lips curved in a semi-smile, reminding Sylvia of unpleasant past events.
Sure enough, the next moment, Bridget turned away from the crowd, gripping Sylvia's hand, and said in earnest,
"Sylvia, I'm sorry, | can't help you deceive Mr. Rupert and Mr. Tristan, so | had to cclean.
| didn't expect you to useto quell the rumors, and then secretly take fertility treatments. If | hadn't gone to
comfort you and overheard your plan, wouldn't you have succeeded? If you really got pregnant, what would
happen toand Mr. Rupert?" After speaking, Bridget's tears fell like rain, her voice choked with grievance.
The crowd was outraged, taking Bridget's side.

"What else could she be plotting, isn't that obvious? Clearly, she wants to replace Bridget! If she did get
pregnant, with the child as her leverage, Rupert would have no choice but to marry her. Then, our family's
reputation would be ruined!"
Someone said in anger, "I've never seen such despicable tactics in my life. It's a good thing Bridget was
considerate and didn't fall into her trap, otherwise a loving couple would have been torn apart."
"Rupert, Sylvia can't stay. Who knows what other trouble she'll stir up in the future!"
Their words were like daggers, piercing Sylvia's heart. Just like in her past life, everyone protected Bridget,
making Sylvia out to be worthless.
She had heard it so often that she was used to it.
Sylvia looked up, her eyes meeting Bridget's, who, despite her fragile appearance, had a calculating glint in her
eyes.
She was momentarily stunned, watching Bridget wipe her tears, and while doing so, she turned and flashed
Sylvia a smirk. It was a mixture of provocation and mockery.
The pills were switched by her!
Then, Bridget softly spoke, her voice as gentle as ever, even pleading.
"Rupert, please spare Sylvia. She didn't mean it! Let's say it was all my doing. If it helps the Garcia family and
you recover from this loss, I'm willing to do anything, even at the cost of my reputation."
Had Sylvia not seen Bridget's triumphant expression, just hearing her voice would make anyone believe she was
genuinely kind and considerate.
At that moment, Sylvia realized she had underestimated Bridget.

Rupert, a cold-blooded businessman, and he had probably weighed the pros and cons with Tristan last night. Did
they not know who the woman in the photo was?
If Bridget admitted it, Rupert would definitely see her as manipulative, and Tristan would despise her for her
ulterior motives.
But her current stance of righteousness not only earned Rupert's trust but even Tristan's admiration.

Understanding Bridget's intentions, she instead found calm. Even Bridget paused for a moment, staring intently
at her, as if looking for a flaw.
