Chapter 459 Acting
Sylvia''s POV:
By the time we climbed out of the bathtub, it was almost dawn. I put on my clothes and cuddled with
Rufus for a while longer. Then, I had to leave, albeit reluctantly.
Before I left, we put on a dramatic act.
I violently opened the door and Rufus followed me, apologizing to me humbly.
"Sylvia, can you give me one more chance? Please! I beg of you!"
"Fuck off, you cheating piece of shit! I loved you and trusted you, yet you had the audacity to do
this!" I cursed loudly and even shed tears.
Rufus didn''t expect me to act so exaggeratedly. For a moment, he seemed stunned and didn''t
respond. Finally, he stepped forward and whispered, "You don''t have to act so real. Just be casual."
I quickly pushed his face away and hissed, "Only by being more real will Geoffrey believe it."

Then, there came the footsteps of servants downstairs. I hurried to strike while the iron was hot and
continued to curse at Rufus, "You fucking liar! You said that I was the only woman in your life. Yet
you hooked up with someone else right when I turned my back! You scumbag! I''ll never forgive
you!"
My loud curses soon attracted many servants and soldiers.
"Will you drop it already? People are staring!" Rufus also joined in on the acting. With a cold face
and a domineering aura, he said arrogantly, "I''m a prince, God damn it! I deserve more than one
woman!"
"Why, you dirty— Shame on you! I was blind and couldn''t see through your lies! Get out of my
sight!" Then I mmed the door and left in a huff.
When there was no one around, my angry expression was immediately reced with a smile. I
walked to my amodations in high spirits.
Rufus and I had put on a good show. Now, we could only wait for the prey to take the bait.
I had secretly left Rufus a small gift in his room. Chuckling to myself, I hoped that he wouldn''t be too
angry when he saw it.
But then I felt a little guilty. When I made it to my room, I pushed the matter to the back of my mind
and quickly changed my clothes.
Today, Rufus ordered to gather all the troops together. He, the conste beside him, and Geoffrey
were supposed to check on the matter of missing werewolves, while the others would go help with
the post-earthquake reconstruction.
But, in fact, the damages in the city were not too serious. We just needed to clean up some debris
from copsed public facilities.
Flora and I were assigned to the disaster area. At this time, the leading guard we had metst night
suddenly showed up and greeted us.
"What''s the matter?" I frowned. His smile was unsettling.
"Miss Todd, I just wanted to thank you for helping mest night. My name is Barlow."
"It was no big deal," I said lightly.
"No. You saved my life." Barlow smiled. There was a long scar that ran along the corner of his
mouth. I didn''t notice itst night. Now, under the sunlight, I could see it clearly. It was like a
ferocious centipede clinging to his face.
"Was there anything else?" I asked hesitantly.
"Yes!" Barlow was very hospitable today. He was a head taller than me, but he squatted slightly so
that we were eye level while speaking.
"What is it?"
"The Alpha ordered me to take you and your friends out for sightseeing today," Barlow said
respectfully.
I frowned and thought for a while. Last night, we did talk about sightseeing. I thought Geoffrey was
just being polite, but he had actually taken us seriously.
Anyway, now that the fact that I was Rufus '' mate had been exposed, I''d better make good use of it.
I turned to Flora and asked, "Wannae?"
"Yes!" Flora lit up like a firecracker. "But Harry and the others went on ahead. They might have
arrived at the disaster area now."
"It doesn''t matter. We can go first." I linked arms with Flora and said to Barlow, "Lead the way."
