NovelEnglishChapter 88
Sylvia's long hair was a tousled mess, partially obscuring her face, which bore traces of water, giving her a pale,
almost fractured appearance. Her lips, misted with a layer of moisture, resembled freshly washed grapes.
Droplets cascaded down, soaking her hospital gown. The striped fabric clung to her skin, subtly revealing the
graceful curve of her collarbones, with the fullness accentuated by her light-colored bra, which was hidden from
her view. Sylvia was utterly clueless about what was happening, only aware that the man in front of her seemed
to breathe more heavily.
She stepped back; he moved closer. Until there was nowhere left to retreat.
He stood before her, his domineering gaze unmasked, like a predator eyeing its prey. His hand lifted, causing
Sylvia to catch her breath and grip the ring she held tightly. Suddenly, a dry towel landed on her head.
"I'm leaving," he said, his voice gruff and off-key.
"Your ring."
Sylvia handed over the ring.
Rupert took her hand, using it to slide the ring onto his thumb.
Sylvia didn't understand the gesture, only feeling a breeze followed by the sound of a door closing.
She moved toward the shower without giving it much thought, only realizing how exposed she had been when
she began undressing.
A rush of shflooded her.
After her shower, Sylvia sat on the edge of her bed, her hair still damp. Suddenly, she froze as a presence halted
before her. "Uncle?"

"Don't callUncle," Rupert said, his patience wearing thin.
Before Sylvia could respond, the sound of a hairdryer filled the room.
Minutes later, the dryer ceased, and large hands gently brushed through her hair, cradling her head.
Caught off guard, she instinctively clenched her fists. Rupert noticed her small movements, his deep eyes
growing colder by the second.
Coldly, he said, "Go to sleep. Looks like you won't be needing dinner. Warren brought enough."
Sylvia paused, quickly grasping his meaning. Concerned for Warren's fate, she blurted out, "It wasn't his idea; it
was mine."
She then felt his imposing gaze on her, and her hands tightened, knuckles whitening in response.
Rupert observed her concern for another, his eyes laced with derision. "Protecting him? Changed your target?"
His voice, cold and threatening, emanated from his thin lips.
"No," Sylvia managed to look up as she replied. She couldn't implicate Warren.
But as soon as she finished
speaking, the hand cradling her head tightened lifting her slightly off the ground. She couldn't see Rupert but
sensed his narrowing gaze, a palpable sense of dominance enveloping her.
"Is that so?"
"Yes! To me, you and he are no different."
Unable to bear the suffocation, Sylvia immediately attempted to break free. Perhaps emboldened by not seeing
him, she managed to pull his arms down with surprising ease.

Without a trace of emotion, he added, "I don't want to hear such accusations again."
Sylvia felt a chill run through her.
So, he had anticipated she wouldn't have any evidence against him, allowing him to brazenly let Bridget scheme
against her.
