Falling for a Lie: My Stepbrother's Hidden Revenge

Chapter 135

Realizing something was amiss, he opened the door and took a look. There was no one in front of the desk

computer,

“Sylvia?”

Edgar's face changed, and he walked in to investigate. The gasping sound... was coming from under the

desk

He swiftly lifted the tablecloth and saw Sylvia curled up in a cramped space, her face unnaturally flushed. He

squatted down and gently touched her neck with his hand, discovering that her whole body was burning up.

This condition...

Half of the coffee on the table had been consumed, and the sugar packets in the tray had been torn open. He

recalled the abnormal behavior of Yvonne when he visited the old house a few hours ago and

instantly understood what was going on.

“Damn it!” He lifted Sylvia out from under the desk.

Feeling the cold body brush against her was comforting. Under the influence of the medication, Sylvia had an

indescribable thought for the first time.

She tightly wrapped her arms around the man’s neck, driven by the scent of male hormones, which incited her

to commit something she would regret.

Edgar carried her back to the bedroom, feeling her restless movements. Afraid of hurting her, he lightened his

grip.

“Sylvia, hold on a little longer. You'll be fine soon.”

Hearing the familiar voice, Sylvia forced her consciousness, lifting her eyes to take a look. The moment she

recognized Edgar, her heart was filled with anger. Suppressing her feelings of desire, she raised her hand and

slapped him across the face.

Having been drugged, the slap wasn’t too heavy, but Edgar, who was about to head to the bathroom, was

caught off guard. Sylvia struggled and slipped from his grasp, but her hand still clung tightly to his collar.

Suddenly, both of them lost their balance and fell to the ground.

Seeing Sylvia's head about to hit the bed corner, Edgar disregarded everything else. He held her neck, pulling

her towards him, and used his back to cushion the impact, hitting the ground first.

“Ugh, hiss...”

His back slammed hard against the bed corner, and the still swollen injury intensified, causing hit to break out in

a cold sweat. He nearly fainted on the spot. Before he could recover from the intense pain in his back, there was

a loud “crack” as another slap landed forcefully on his face.

Sylvia had managed to break free from his embrace, dragging the upper half of his body onto the floor She

viciously pressed her knee against his chest and tightly gripped his collar.

When she looked at him, her pupils were filled with boundless hatred.

“Edgar! You're despicable and shameless! Your words tonight were indeed just an act! You thought that by

drugging me, | would lose control and let your filthy intentions succeed? You're dreaming

“Sylvia, calm down, this matter...”

“Crack!”

Another slap hit him on the face, and this time, Sylvia exerted all her remaining strength. The mixture of anger

and resentment burned in her heart, threatening to consher sanity completely.

The slap left a ringing in Edgar's ears, and he felt a momentary dizziness. The intense pain from hitting the

corner of the bed with his back hadn't subsided yet.

His facial features twisted in agony, but before he could catch his breath, he noticed that Sylvia's hand gripping

his collar was trembling, and her eyes were filled with murderous intent.

“Edgar, | want you to suffer a fate worse than death!”

Sylvia released him, struggling to regain consciousness and reach for the alarm button on the bedside. Suddenly,

that overwhelming anger surged within her, making her uncontrollably curl up on the floor, shivering. There was

a sinister voice in her head, urging her to attack a certain man to vent her anger!

But she couldn't! Absolutely not! She pressed her body against the cold floor, trying to awaken her senses with

its icy touch.

Enduring the pain, Edgar propped himself up and saw her suffering on the floor alone.

If she didn’t vent her anger and lust after being drugged, she would feel unbearable torment, even to the point

of wanting to die!

Despite the extent of her suffering, she still didn’t want to pounce on him. Did the antidote take effect? Had her

disgust for him already reached the depths of her bones?

Edgar smiled wryly, walking towards her, intending to pick her up again.

Edgar sat by the edge of the bathtub, keeping watch. He remembered the right before their divorce, when he

wrongly accused her of drugging him and sarcastically mocked for the sex day.

He never expected karma to cso swiftly. Now it was Aust to be falsely accused.

He smiled bitterly. Knowing Sylvia's personality, once the regained consciousness, this matter would trot be

easily forgiven.

This was his retribution what he deserved.

With his thoughts withdrawn, he quietly watched her sleeping face. Her checks were still flushed, and her whole

body seemed intoxicated. Her Syotaful figure was tersed in the water, exuding a fatal

allure.

But Edgar wasn’t the kind of man who took advantage of someone’s vulnerability. He averted his gaze. focusing

entirely on observing Sylvia's condition.

Sylvia's skin all over her body was still abnormally red and hot.

Soaking in cold water was taking too long to show any effect. This wasn’t a sustainable solution.

Edgar got up and left the bathroom, rummaging through the medicine caband searching the ey house, but

he couldn't find any sedatives or glucose solutions.

He walked to the garden and shouted outside, “Eleven, Seventeen, and Eighteen! Cout!”

A minute later, Eleven appeared from somewhere, rubbing his sleepy eyes and asking “Why are you not sleeping

in the middle of the night? What's the matter?
