Chapter 226: The Manipulator

Sylvia’s POV Not long after I returned to my room, Rufus called me. I sat down on the edge of the bed and answered the phone. “Flora and Warren are together,” I blurted. Rufus didn’t sound surprised. “Did you already know?” I asked curiously with one brow raised.

“I just heard, but the news should spread soon,” Rufus said nonchalantly. I couldn’t help but sigh. “Never in my wildest dreams would I have expected those two to get together. They’re polar opposites!” “I knew they’d get together,” Rufus countered. Aside from his voice, I could hear clattering tableware from the other end of the line. Only then did it occur to me that it was still breakfast time. “Are you eating? You can call me when you’re finished with breakfast.” “No need. I just finished.” As he spoke, I heard the sound of a chair moving across the floor. After a few seconds, the noise completely disappeared, leaving only the sound of his breathing. “I’m in the study now. I’ll talk to you first. Where were we just now?” “How did you know that Warren and Flora would get together?” I asked in confusion, returning to the previous topic. “That day, we went to the equipment room looking for you, but found Warren and Flora instead. They were disheveled, flushed and panting. And the look on their faces; there was just something more than shame and awkwardness. In fact, I was surprised that they didn’t announce it sooner. I suppose Blair helped them cover it up,” Rufus explained patiently. “Am I the only one who didn’t see it coming? They were so weird today. Flora and Warren might truly love each other, but I still feel bad. After all, it was my fault.” I sighed, voicing out my uneasiness. “I’m worried that Flora’s just doing it for me.” “I know how you feel. But no one can exactly explain love. Perhaps Flora and Warren secretly harbored feelings for each other even before that day. If so, then this was a good opportunity for them.” Rufus comforted me gently. “Now that things have come to this, the best you can do for Flora is thank her.” I

sank into the bed dejectedly. “I just hope that this matter dies down soon. I don’t want to involve anyone else.” “Don’t worry, honey. I’m sure everyone’s attention will shift soon enough. Plus, I’ve already deleted all the posts regarding this matter. They will never be able to look back and check” Rufus’s tone was so calm and confident that I felt inexplicably relieved. “But who could be behind all this? Whoever drugged us and whoever posted it online should be one and the same”I just couldn’t figure it out. “Actually, I was going to ask Warren about it this morning. But because of flora,! didn’get the chance yet.” Rufus fell silent for a while. “We didn’t have a clue back then, but this time, whoever posted first on the forum was too careless and forgot to hide their IP address. We managed to trace them to the. impedal palace.” “The imperial palace?!” I practically shouted in shock. Sitting bolt upright, a thought suddenly occurred to me. “Yes, the imperial palace. Also, the photos were obviously taken from inside the equipment room. But there’s no surveillance system in the equipment room, so it’s obvious that someone planted a camera beforehand. So you’re right. Whoever posted is the one behind it all.” Rufus analyzed the facts and came to a rudimentary conclusion. “Rufus, I have a theory.” But I wasn’t too sure. Although the answer in my mind hadn’t been confirmed yet, I had a strong feeling about this. “What is it?” “Could it be Alina who’s behind all this?” Rufus chuckled. “I think so, too. But we have no proof yet. I’ve already instructed my men to investigate the matter, so the truth will come to light soon enough.”novelbin
