Falling for a Lie: My Stepbrother's Hidden Revenge

Chapter 12

Chapter 122

After saying this in front of Sylvia, Greg sighed deeply. He turned around, hands behind his back, and stormed

out of the president's office without looking back, consumed by anger.

Once he completely left the Fallen Group, his worried expression disappeared, replaced by a relaxed and cheerful

smile.

Meanwhile, inside the office:

Sylvia turned and walked up to Edgar, noticing the slight swelling at the corner of his mouth and the clear

imprint of a thumb on the left side of his face.

A beautiful and delicate face that she could enjoy looking at every day had been marred by Greg's attack. She

would definitely deal with that old fox sooner or later!

“Does it hurt?” she asked, pinching his chin and examining his injury.

Edgar showed no expression and didn’t answer. His face appeared calm and indifferent, as if the person

who had been beaten was not him.

Seeing his nonchalant demeanor made Sylvia angry. She viciously pinched the flesh on his left cheek.

Edgar frowned, the pain causing him to turn his face away, trying to escape her grip.

Finally, he showed a different expression. She thought he had no sense of pain.

Sylvia spoke with a stern expression: “Seems like you do feel pain. Then why didn’t you dodge when Greg

attacked? Don’t tellyou couldn't react in time!”

If she didn’t protect him, how many blows could he withstand with his current physical condition?

Edgar tightened the corners of his mouth, his voice tinged with a sweet and bloody taste as he countered,

“Where were you on the day Grandfather died?”

Sylvia locked eyes with him, realizing the deep darkness in his black pupils.

Did he believe Greg's words and suspect that she was truly responsible for the old master’s death?

She didn’t lie: “I was right beside Grandfather. | was the last person he saw before he died.”

“What did he say to you?” Sylvia fell silent for a moment.

Actually, before his passing, the old master not only asked her to help protect the Fallen Family but also

Chapter 122

said, “Good child, Edgar has a strong temperament, but deep down he is very loyal. If he discovers your

goodness and falls in love with you, he will be willing to give everything for you. Promisethat you will take

good care of him and never divorce.”

She had broken this promise.

After three years of trying to warm his cold heart, she no longer cared. So, protecting the Fallen Family became

her final promise to the old master.

Edgar noticed her distraction; his dark eyes narrowed, and he asked again, “What did he say?”

Sylvia sat back on the sofa, her eyes regaining their usual indifference.

“No comment.”

These four words carried a hint of provocation. Edgar's momentary anger flickered in his eyes.

She smirked and continued, “What? Do you also think | caused the old master’s death?”

Edgar fell silent, his expression serious. “No, you wouldn't.”

It seemed like he hadn't been deceived. He wasn’t too foolish.

Her anger dissipated a bit, and as she looked up, she saw someone standing awkwardly with a swollen left

cheek, which greatly marred the beauty of his usually handsface.

His temperament needed adjusting, but occasionally he was still pleasant to look at. It wouldn't do to have him

ruined.

She reached under the coffee table and took out a small first aid kit, pushing it in front of him. “It looks terrible.

There are ice packs in the corner of the small fridge over there. Get one and apply it yourself.”

“Okay.”

Edgar didn’t refuse and brought an ice pack, then sat on the sofa and skillfully applied the medication.

Sylvia walked to her desk and began to attend to her work.

The bodyguards and Belinda tactfully left the office, closing the door behind them.

In the office, there was only the sound of keyboard typing and occasional rustling from Edgar applying the

medication, creating a weird tension.

No one spoke first, and this atmosphere lingered for nearly an hour and a half until Belinda knocked on

the door and entered.

Talling, for a Lie My Stepbrother’s Halden Revenge.

Chapter 122

“President Smith, President Grammer has arrived.”

Adrain cto the Fallen Family for what reason?

Sylvia thought for a moment. “Let him in.”

Edgar, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly furrowed his brow.

President Grammer? Which President Grammer is that?

Another man she had recently met?

When Adrain pushed open the door and entered, Edgar happened to stand up. Even though they were.

separated by a considerable distance, both of them immediately noticed each other's presence.

Rivals saw rivals, and jealousy surged.

Edgar was the first to smirk and say, “I never expected it to be the young master of the Grammer family in S

City. My apologies.”

When Adrain saw him, anger welled up in his whole being.

Originally, he had cto dissuade Sylvia from signing an agreement with Edgar, but he hadn't expected her to

blatantly bring him to the company. And it was in the Fallen Family's territory!

Adrain’s expression darkened as he approached Edgar and whispered, “Sylvia has already divorced you. The

agreement she signed with you was only to make you repay the debt. You mustn't have any ideas about her

because of that, Young Master Fallen. What do you say?”

His face appeared gentle, but his tone was threatening.

Edgar paused slightly upon hearing him mention the agreement. It seemed that he knew about it, indicating that

his relationship with Sylvia was not ordinary.

“I wonder on what grounds Mr. Grammer is warning me?”

Adrain replied, “She is currently single, and | am pursuing her. | believe that soon she will agree to be with me.

So, | am telling you this as her future boyfriend.”

“From what you're saying, it seems that she hasn't agreed yet, but Mr. Grammer is already claiming his territory

so quickly?”

Adrain frowned. “So what? At least | have a chance, but you will never have a chance!”

Sylvia sighed and rubbed her forehead. The two men in front of her were exchanging sarcastic remarks,

sparks the

flying from their eyes. Her office had turned into a battlefield once again.

Wasn't it said that two women put on a show? But why were they men?.

How ctwo men could also perform so enthusiastically?

In front of the sofa, the two men continued their verbal duel.

Edgar said, “Even if you refuse to admit it, you cannot deny the fact that | am her ex-husband. At least | was

closer to her than you were!”

He emphasized the last four words, his gaze seemingly implying something.

Adrain was quite angry. “How long have you known her? How well do you understand her? We grew up together

since childhood, and | know her better than you!”

Edgar's pupils contracted, and his brows furrowed even tighter.

“That's enough,” he said.

Sylvia couldn't bear listening any longer. The argument was giving her a headache, and she needed to quickly

get rid of these two troublemakers.

She looked at Adrain first and asked, “Why did you chere today?”

Adrain had originally cto persuade her to terminate the agreement with Edgar, but he couldn't say certain

things in front of Edgar.

So, he used work as an excuse, saying, “It's about the construction of the film and television base. | was

originally going to find you at Angle, but you weren't there. When | found out you were at the Fallen’s company, |

cover.”

This was a legitimate matter.

Sylvia then looked at Edgar and said, “Since yesterday afternoon, you haven't visited your mother and sister,

right? Ill have the bodyguards take you to the old house to see them. It would be good for you to appease them

and prevent them from causing any trouble or suffering.”

Intentionally sending him away?

Did she choose the latter between him and Adrain?

Edgar was very unhappy and replied, “I won't go!”

Sylvia didn’t care about his mood and directly called the bodyguards to take him away.

Chapter 122

When the two men brushed past each other, Adrain stared at Edgar's still slightly swollen left cheek and

provocatively smiled, as if he had won this round.

Edgar cout of the office with a dark face, went down the elevator, and was forcibly pushed into the car by

the bodyguards.

But at this moment, his face no longer showed any jealousy toward Adrain. His thoughts remained fixated on the

last sentence Adrain had said.

It seemed that Patric had also said something similar before to provoke him.

At that time, he didn’t think much of it and believed it was just Patric deliberately trying to anger him.

Now, thinking about it, something is not right about this!
