Falling for a Lie: My Stepbrother's Hidden Revenge

Chapter 222

She sat beside the tombstone with her head leaning against his stone tablet, as if she was leaning in his arms.

These days. Mia has becmuch more obedient. | have already let her into the Fallen Group to start her

studies. You gaveall of the company shares, but | don’t have the energy to take care of the Fallen Group

anymore. When she can handle projects independently, | plan to slowly let go.”

“Ed without you acting like a spoiled child toevery day, my life is going to be so boring.”

Recently, I've been dreaming about you, you know? You toldthat you weren't actually dead. You said that

you were lying toon purpose. In fact, you wanted to see if you were important to me. How great would that

be if it was actually true?*

Her voice was very soft as she spoke.

Two crystal tears rolled down her cheeks.

She closed her eyes and hugged the cold stone tablet with her small hands. It was as if she was hugging his

waist, snuggling into his arms, and falling asleep.

The bodyguards who accompanied Sylvia were asked to wait in a shed fifty meters away from the cemetery.

From there, they could not see what was happening

It had been an hour, and their madam still hadn't cout yet.

One of the bodyguards. Fifteen, couldn't sit still anymore and went straight to the cemetery with an umbrella.

Ewever, as soon as he got closer, he was slightly caught off-guard with the scene in front of him.

Sylvia was leaming against the stone tablet with relaxed brows, as if she had fallen asleep.

She did not have an umbrella and she was covered with snow from head to toe, yet she didn’t look unkempt at

all. Instead, she looked like the picture of a desolate beauty.

Fifteen knew that she had always placed Edgar in a special part of her heart. However, she had been stubborn

and wouldn't acknowledge her own feelings.

Cnformately, now that he was already dead, it was too late to say anything else.

Eric had also left. And when he hid his goodbyes, he said that he would most likely never return to the city again.

The bodyguard sighed softly, missing the days when the few of them played poker together.

He gathered his thoughts and quickly ran forward to give Sylvia an umbrella. He helped her brush off the snow

on her body that had not yet melted. “Mim, K's getting late. Let's go back. Don’t you want to check on Ms.

Fallen’s work this afternoon?*

Sylata slowly woke up and left the cemetery without saying a word.

Back to the Fallen family

Because the beater was on inside, Sylvia took off her fox fur coat and walked over to the office chair to sit down.

Mix was trembling a hotle as she handed the project she had spent the entire night writing.

Sybria took it expressiondestly, read it carefully, and used a pen dipped in red ink to draw a circle as she cruelly

pronounced the sentence. “There's a mistake here. This sentence is complicated and awkward. | said that the

words used in writing the project must be brief but concise. It's always best to be simple and easy to understand.

There are typos here and here too. Remember, every tyou finish writing, you must always double check in

for any errors”

The more she heard Sylvia, the colder Mia’s heart became.

She pursed her lips as if in a fit of anger. But instead of speaking out, she took the initiative to spread out her

palms and stretch her arms forward. “I see. Next time, I'll pay more attention. Go ahead with the punishment.”

Sylvia glanced at her strangely. She was hanging her head, staring at her toes, and swallowing nervously.

Hearing the sound of a drawer opening, Mia immediately stiffened. She closed her eyes tightly and waited for

the familiar sensation of pain.

However, the expected pain never came.

She opened her eyes suspiciously and found a chocolate candy on her palm.

“I won't hit you today. This is the first tyou learned to take the initiative to accept the punishment. Very

good. This is your reward.”

“Really?”

It was the first tthat Mia heard that she did not need to be punished. She was so overjoyed that she looked

at Sylvia as if she was an angel.

“Thank you Sylvia! You're so kind! | will study even harder!”

“Well then, let's go down.”

Mia happily held the candy and left.

Sylvia watched her leave and shook her head helplessly.

She had never been with children before, and because she was the youngest daughter in her family, she actually

had no experience in educating someone else. It was always the other way around.

However, there was a saying: ‘Even though one has never eaten pork, at least one has seen a pig running. So

even if she had no knowledge about being a teacher for someone, she at least had witnessed something similar.

And it was with her eldest brother. It was how he treated her back then. He wasn’t too strict nor too indulgent.

He would punish her for her mistakes and would later give her sweets. From him, she learned that it was best to

give both kindness and strength.

Two months later.

Mia was not particularly a fast learner, but she was taking it seriously.

Sylvia checked her project and finally found no issues. She was very relieved. “Very good. The next t| give

you a project, try to do it yourself” Mia nodded. “Okay, I'll do my best, but...” She looked hesitant.

“But what?”

“Can | ask not to work overttonight? | have something to do. | want to go out for dinner... The more she

spoke, the softer her voice sounded, and her ears were a little red.

“Oh? Going on a date?”

Only then did Sylvia notice that she was dressed up today and had a delicate expression on her face. “It’s with a

boy, isn’t it?”

Mia bit her lip shyly and nodded.

“What's he like? What's his family background? Do you still remember your promise before?”

“Don’t worry, it’s just an ordinary family, but he’s been very kind to me. He's helpeda lot at work actually

and.... He's quite handsome, but we're just starting out. We're not stable yet

Embarrassed, she rushed to say, “I won't say anything else. | have to go back to my station and clean up.”

Sylvia hummed softly and watched her leave

If the guy was able to help Mia a lot at work, then he must be an employee of the Fallen Group

She called Belinda and asked her to investigate quietly.

As it turned out, it was discovered that the person was Kade June, a regular employee of the planning

department where Mia was currently stationed.

Sylvia was surprised because both Kade and Belinda were people she had brought up from Dark Bell and were

specially placed to work in the Fallen Group. She could at least trust Kade.

The next day at work, Sylvia quietly called him to the office.

“Did your date go well last night?”

Kade felt embarrassed and touched the back of his head. “Boss, how did you know?”

“Are you serious about her?”

Kade nodded, “I heard about her conflict with you before. Actually, when she just entered the company, |

originally wanted to help you set her straight. However, the longer we interacted, | gradually found her

interesting. Yes, she can be willful and domineering because of her upbringing, but sometimes she can be cute. |

really like her.”

“Alright then. Get back to work.”

Sylvia did not interfere too much with Mia’s personal life. Anyway, the relationship between the two was going

fine.

Three months later, Mia and Kade held a grand wedding ceremony at Easley Church.

On the sday, Sylvia transferred 40% of Fallen Group's shares under Mia’s name.

Before the ceremony, various business partners and CEOs gathered around the giant tower cake table on the

lawn to drink and chat.

Sylvia had never liked such occasions, so she sat at on a table in a quiet corner and sipped champagne with Tom.

The Mellis family was also invited. As soon as Emma and Jack arrived, they headed over to where Sylvia was to

chat.

Sylvia hadn't seen them for a few days, and coupled with her sharp eyes, she immediately noticed that Hedda

was not there.

Emma smiled helplessly and explained, “That child has no sense of compassion. No matter how much her dad

and | persuade her, she wouldn't budge. As soon as her legs recovered, she ran to Wind City.”

‘wind City?"

Sylvia smiled and did not say anything. It seemed that Hedda really wanted to be her second sister-in-law. Her

second brother could be considered a difficult person. However, it would depend on Hedda if she has the ability

to chase after him.

Emma gave Jack a wink. Jack found an excuse and went to the side with Tom to socialize.

When he was gone, she approached Sylvia and said in a very low voice, “I heard that you gave 40% of the

shares to Mia? Their family treated you like that before. Aren't you worried it would happen again after she gets

the shares? Did you even think about that?”

Sylvia smiled casually, “What's there to be afraid of? Since | can give it to her, | can take it back at any time.”

Besides, Belinda and Kade were planted in the company to monitor what was happening. Even if Mia and Yvonne

were really going to act up, they would never be able to fight Sylvia.

Emma thought about Edgar's death and felt regretful. She asked, “So you really have handed over the Fallen

Group. It seems that Angle Group Group is also acting as the handover agents. Are you planning to let them do

all the work while you sit idle and collect the money?”

Sylvia shook her head gently, “After all of this, I plan to leave Frant City.”

“Leave? Where are you going?” Emma was surprised.

Sylvia raised her head and looked at her.

“s City.”
