NovelEnglishChapter 85
Tears streamed down her face as she inched closer to Rupert, her gaze at the two men carrying a sharp warning.
Know whose woman you're talking about before you speak!
The two men froze, their breath hitching as they instinctively thought of their companion still lying in bed.
Crossing Rupert was a fate worse than death - a lesson they weren't keen on learning firsthand.
They could only hang their heads in apology. "Sorry, Ms. Lloyd, we had a bit too much to drink and got carried
away. We were wrong. Please, let us off this once!"
"No chance," Sylvia retorted coldly. "Letting you off would only embolden you. Someone else might suffer next
time. You brought this upon yourselves, listening to whoever whispers in your ear. You've no one to blbut
yourselves." Her scathing rebuke left Bridget seething, but she dared not voice her anger.
Refusing to accept their fate, the two men attempted to plead with Sylvia, disregarding the police's attempts to
stop them.
"Ms. Lloyd..."
Before they could finish, Sylvia's reaction was explosive.
"Ahh! Get away! Don't cany closer!"
She grabbed the freshly poured hot water from the table, flinging it in panic. The target was Bridget, lounging on
the couch.

Sylvia, now hiding behind Naomi, was trembling with fear. "Mom, someone's trying to grab me! I'm scared!"
Naomi, enraged, snapped. "Bridget! You've only yourself to blame! The doctor said Sylvia can't handle stress.
Had you not sided with these two in framing her, she wouldn't have snapped. Now, with her unable to see, your
misfortune is your own fault!" "You... you... Rupert, my face is burning."
Bridget's cheeks were ablaze, too painful to even touch, as she turned to Rupert for sympathy.
Rupert, examining her face, simply hummed. "Let's get that looked at by a doctor."
Tears poured down Bridget's face, her cheeks red and swollen, her beauty marred by pain. Yet, she took solace in
Rupert's protection, believing he would always stand by her
Sylvia, blind to their actions,
red indifferent. Even if sheet

The officer stepped forward and said, "Since we've clarified everything, we'll be leaving now."
Sylvia nodded and with Naomi's support, made her way to bed.
"Don't overthink it, just get srest, Sylvia."
"Mom, you should go back," Sylvia whispered, nestling into her pillow.
Naomi, stroking her hair tenderly, reassured her, "I can't leave you like this."
Feeling her mother's care, Sylvia's heart ached, drawing closer. "Mom."
