Chapter 763 Being Poached
Rufus'' POV:
I ordered my private soldiers to secretly investigate what Sylvia had done after she left the pce
today.
In less than an hour, one of my subordinates came back to report the result of the investigation.
"Miss Todd went to the ck market to see Murray during the day. We don''t know exactly what they
had talked about because when we went there, Murray wasn''t in the cottage. However, our people
have taken photos of Miss Todd in the ck market," my subordinate said before handing me a
sealed envelope.
I took the envelope and put it on the table. Then, I ordered my subordinate to leave.
I stood up and poured myself a ss of whiskey. I didn''t open the sealed envelope immediately and
just looked at it for some time.
While I was lost in thought, I heard someone knock on the door before saying, "Prince Rufus, it''s
me, Maya. I''m here to bring you something to eat."
"Come in." I tiredly rubbed the bridge of my nose. My mind was a mess.
When Maya went inside, she carefully put a tray on the table. There was a bowl of soup and a few
side dishes on the tray.
"Prince Rufus, you haven''t eaten anything for today. Please at least have some soup," Maya
persuaded in a low voice.
"I''m okay. Just leave it there," I replied, tapping the cup with my index finger from time to time. I tried
to calm myself down, but I couldn''t bring myself to do so. I became agitated ever since I had seen
the surveince footage.
Maya didn''t immediately leave even after she put down the tray. She just stood in front of the table,
looking quite conflicted.

I nced at her. "Is there anything else you need to tell me?"
"Are you doing alright, sir? You look really troubled. Is it because of Miss Todd?" Maya tentatively
asked.
I pressed my lips into a thin line and went silent for a while. "Is there anything strange about Sylvia
recently?"
"Not really. Miss Todd is in a good mood. She''s been having a good appetite recently. One thing she
enjoys the most right now is talking to the baby. She always rubs her belly and says things like,
''Mommy loves you, and daddy does too. You''re going to be the happiestbaby in the world!''"
Mayaughed, and I subconsciously smiled.
"By the way, Miss Todd has been knitting a scarf for you. She told me that it was almost autumn and
that she should prepare some thick clothes for you to wear. I know things like these should be done
by the servants, but Miss Todd always likes to do this for you. I think she really loves you," Maya
added. Somehow, her words made me feel a bit better.
"But now that I think about it, there is indeed something that seems very strange..." Maya trailed off
as she gave me a hesitant look.
"What is it?" I frowned.
"I-It just seems like Mr. Joshua keepsing to see Miss Todd recently. They would often talk for a
long time and seem to be discussing something." Maya stammered before guiltily looking down.
After hearing that, I calmly nodded. "I see, thank you for telling me. You can go now, Maya."
After she left, I drank the whiskey in one gulp and opened the envelope on the table. There was
only one photo inside it.
In the photo, two people were standing at the entrance of the ck market, and ir could be seen
whispering something in Sylvia''s ear. From the tricky angle, Sylvia and ir were so close that it
almost looked like they were kissing.
"Fuck! That son of a bitch!" Omar cursed.
I simply put down the photo and began looking for my lighter. I wanted to smoke, but when I couldn''t
find it anywhere, the emotions I was trying to suppress suddenly ignited, and I couldn''t take it
anymore.
Immediately after, I pushed away the things that were ced on the table.
The sound of porcin colliding with spoon and fork echoed throughout the room as they scattered
on the floor.
