Falling for a Lie: My Stepbrother's Hidden Revenge

Chapter 228

After hanging up, she ordered the decoration of the building and returned to her father's mansion.

But first, she parked the car on the mountainside and gave Patric the spare key to the villa.

She went in to get sthings, and then leisurely went to the ancestral hall.

As soon as they arrived a few meters from the entrance of the ancestral hall, they immediately heard the sound

of crying. It sounded like Logan’s daughter-in-law, Monica.

“Ethan! You've seen how Logan's face got damaged because of Sylvia. You can’t remain biased towards her for

this matter!”

Their son, Lincoln, was also filled with righteous indignation: “Uncle, what she did was going too far. No matter

what, my dad is still her elder and relative. Whatever displeasure you feel for him, it still wasn’t right to ruin him

like this!”

Amidst the clamor of accusations from his brother's family, he remained silent in his wheelchair, wrinkled hands

lightly twisting a rosary.

Uncle Lloyd sighed from the side as if he was about to say something, but he never did speak.

Ethan noticed it and asked, “What can you say about this?”

“Ah, | wouldn't dare, sir.”

“It’s alright. I'm here and I'm giving you permission. Don’t worry.”

Uncle Lloyd thought for a while: “Sir, | don’t think words should be the immediate basis to decide for this matter.

Since Sir Logan's side accuses Ms. Sylvia, then it should be right for them to produce evidence.”

Lianne, who was sitting on the side, was unconvinced. “Honey, you know Sylvia's personality. She is used to

being arrogant. It’s not surprising that she would do such a thing. What other evidence is needed?”

Ethan still remained silent, making it impossible for anyone to guess what he was thinking.

Logan suddenly stood up from his chair and walked towards the futon in front of the altar. “I swear with my life

that it is true that Sylvia hurtwith sulfuric acid. If | lied, then let thunder strike me.”

Just as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang outside.

He was so frightened that he knelt on the futon and shrank into a ball, his legs shaking.

Monica and Lincoln were pale with shock.

The atmosphere in the room becespecially solemn because of the rumbling outside.

In this strange atmosphere, Sylvia's crisp laughter cfrom outside the door, instantly attracting everyone's

attention.

She slammed the door open and strode in confidently. With an orange-flavored lollipop in her mouth, she

sneered: “It seems like Uncle Logan's oath is not true. Even God doesn’t believe it.”

Anger was brewing in Logan's heart that he felt like he was going to have a heart attack. “Sylvia! You made that

sound of thunder, didn’t you?!”

Sylvia laughed even harder.

It was actually Twelve who had made that sound using the drums connected to a loudspeaker. Who knew they'd

be so startled like this?

“Uncle is obviously hiding something, or why else would he be paranoid about being struck by lightning?”

“You brat!”

Logan suddenly turned around to face her.

Sylvia pretended to be surprised and said, “Uncle, what happened to your face? There seem to be a few words

written here. Lazy person, well, these words really match you.”

Being humiliated further, Logan’s whole family couldn't even describe the rage they felt.

Logan stood up abruptly and glared down at her.

“At least | dared to make an oath! What about you? Do you dare! Do you dare to say that you didn’t hurt my face

with sulfuric acid?”

Sylvia disdainful asked, “Why should I? That's what you want to do and it’s up to you. Why forceto do the

same?”

“You can’t even dare yourself to promise that you didn’t do it!” Lincoln interjected viciously.

“That tactic of yours doesn’t prove anything.”

Ethan still didn’t say anything even as he gave his daughter a gentle glance.

Everyone couldn't read his mind, so they couldn't dare say anything too out of the line.

But Sylvia dared to say, “Uncle, you're accusingbut you don’t have proof. You have to show us the evidence.

How can you let your family and Lianne bullylike this?”

Logan did not say anything. Lianne was annoyed and cried to Ethan, “Honey, look at her! She callsby my

nand doesn’t respect me. And she thinks I'm bullying her?!”

Ethan felt a throb in his head from all the quarrels. “Lianne, don’t add to the fight.”

Lianne pouted and stood behind him.

Only then did Ethan look at his brother, “Logan, my daughter is right. We need to have evidence first.”

Logan: “She knockedout and kidnapped me, Ethan. She tookto an unknown basement and performed

atrocities on me. After that, she definitely cleaned every piece of evidence. Where am | supposed to get one?”

He pleaded with tears in his eyes, “Ethan, you know I’ve always loved my little niece. Besides, I'm soft-tempered

and have never harbored thoughts - toward the family’s assets. If she really hadn't done what she did, how

could | casually accuse her?*

“Of course, you can.”

It wasn’t Ethan who answered. He remained silent. Instead, it was Sylvia.

“Uncle had wanted to killa long tago. When | was still in Frant City, he asked Lincoln to threaten Nick

and poison me. Uncle couldn't have forgotten this, right?”

Logan snorted coldly.

“Well, if you forgot, | have the evidence.” She opened her bag with a smile, took out a document, and passed it

to Ethan.

Logan's eyes trembled, but he did not say anything.

Lincoln couldn't hold his snort. “Your evidence is only Nick's confession. Even if we can count it as one, it’s still

not enough!”

Sylvia took out the lollipop from her mouth and raised her eyebrows. “Oh, | didn’t expect that you already know

about the evidence in my hands.”

As soon as she said this, apart from the few people who were genuinely clueless, the others gradually realized

that something was wrong.

Lincoln was stunned for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. “I work in the State Affairs Bureau.

Six months ago, Nick was imprisoned for stealing laboratory drugs. Of course, | know something about this.”

Sylvia let out a meaningful “Oh,” and smiled even more brilliantly.

“My dear cousin, you might be disappointed because this evidence contains more than just Nick's confession.

Just as she finished speaking, Ethan had already read through the entire evidence and had put two and two

together. Without warning, he threw the teacup from the table at Logan's feet.

The porcelain broke into pieces in a loud and sharp crash.

Lianne and Monica screamed at the stime.

Ethan's hands were shaking with anger. “Logan! Lincoln!”

“Ethan?”

“See for yourself!” Ethan threw the document at Logan's feet.

Lincoln stepped forward and helped Logan to pick it up.

The two of them looked at the evidence document together. Soon, their faces paled and they looked at Sylvia in

shock.

She only looked back nonchalantly.

In the past six months, her eldest brother had already helped her to sort out the evidence and had Patric hide it

in his villa.

Logan had never anticipated that she would collect all the evidence so quickly, so he was complacent and dared

to speak out.

This was also the reason why she planned to cback to S City.

She looked at her father and asked innocently, “Dad, according to our family’s teachings, how should Uncle and

Lincoln be punished for their cruelty towards their very own relatives just for the sake of wealth?”

Ethan looked gloomy and raised his voice, “Expel them from the family’s jurisdiction and send them to prison for

strict handling?”
