Falling for a Lie: My Stepbrother's Hidden Revenge

Chapter 229

Logan’s family of three panicked at the stime.

“Ethan, I'm your younger brother. I've respected and followed our rules for decades, but you can’t be so cruel as

to drive my family out!”

The three of them threw themselves at Ethan's feet at the stime..

With his younger brother on one side and his daughter on the other, Ethan could only look at Sylvia solemnly,

“My child, how do you think they should be punished?”

Sylvia almost didn’t even think about it. “According to the rules, what should | do?”

Monica quickly stood up and glared at her, “Sylvia Smith! You are too cruel! Didn't you make it out unscathed?

So why are you so cold blooded to your relatives!”

Sylvia's expression turned cold almost instantly.

The reason why she was unscathed now was because someone else had endured the pain for her,

‘They hurt him even more!’

When she looked at Monica, the coldness in her eyes was almost freezing to the core. “If | was caught mutilating

my blood relatives today, would you letgo?”

Monica and Lincoln were stunned at the stime. They looked at each other and answered in unison, “Of

course,”

Monica added, “You are the precious daughter of the Smith family. How could we really be willing to hurt you?”

“If that’s the case, then you guys wouldn't make a fuss about the wound on Uncle’s face. Don’t you feel sick

when you say these things against your

heart?”

-Sylvia was not interested in staying any longer and looked at Ethan cautiously, “Dad, you can handle this

matter. | have no objection.”

With that, she left the hall.

The sounds of begging for mercy continued from behind.

She returned to the room she had cleaned up and stayed there as her mood didn’t change for quite stime.

The sight of the bloody burns on Edgar's back flashed through her memories so vividly as if was in front of her.

She only hated that these people were her relatives. She couldn't even kill them! Let them live in pain and

wished they were dead instead. This would

be their atonement!

She took a deep breath.

Then she thought about earlier when she went to the Grant family’s house and how she had spoken so badly

about Edgar just to try and disgust Eder.

folded her palms and murmured sincerely as if in prayer, “Ed, I'm sorry for using your nin such a way today.

| just really had to get Eder to

break off the marriage.”

“Ill return to you after | catch all of those who were plotting against me. After that, I'll remain single and just

watch over you for the rest of my life,

okay?”

By the tshe finished her rites, she realized that the servant had already called her for dinner twice.

She slowly went downstairs and sat on the dining chair with a cold expression.

Just as she picked up the spoon and was about to take a sip of the sweet soup from the bowl, Lianne frowned.

“Hey, you're really a spoiled little princess in our family that even your elders have to wait for you to eat. Have

you forgotten about all upbringings in the past few years?”

Ethan coughed. “Stop talking.”

Lianne snorted and rolled her eyes.

Sylvia was not used to it either and threw the spoon back with a thuid.

“Lianne, how did you manage to get into my father’s bed in the first place? Did you forget so quickly that you

feel entitled to talk toabout something you're not even a part of?”

“Enough! Stop talking and eat!” Ethan interjected sternly.

Sylvia looked at him. “You heardanswer a while ago that I'm coming down. She provokedfirst. If you

can’t keep her stinky mouth shut, I'm afraid | won't be able to stay.”

She got up and went upstairs.

Ethan softened his tone, “Don’t be angry, Sylvia! Eat your food first, okay? Dad will try his best to handle these

matters, so don’t think about going out!”

Hearing his reassurance made Sylvia a little hesitant.

However, she saw Lianne staring at Ethan and saying, “I'll tell you what! You're spoiling her too much! She’s so

unruly and she’s still holding the past against me. How can’t you be upset about this too?”

Sylvia really couldn’t understand Lianne’s victim-like attitude despite not being the victim at all.

However, even if she wanted to leave, she couldn't actually do it.

Instead, she called her bodyguards into the dining room and pointed at Lianne with her gaze. “Mrs. Smith is

upset. | guess she lost her appetite. You guys help her go upstairs to rest.”

“Sylvia! How dare you!” Lianne slapped the table.

“Why wouldn't | dare?”

Lianne met her fierce gaze and was defeated. She could only turn her head to look at Ethan and cry.

“Honey, say something. Are you just going to watch your daughter act like this toward me? Fine, | don’t care! But

you will only choose one between us who you want to eat dinner with!”

Ethan was caught in the middle.

Sylvia sighed when she caught sight of the obvious discomfort on his age-worn face.

She'd been gone for a few years and her father had becmuch older. She didn’t want to trouble her father,

but it was really difficult for her to live in harmony with Lianne.

“Forget it. | don’t want to eat.”

She stood up and straightened her dress. She turned her head and left, but instead of going upstairs, she went

out to the villa.

“Sylvia, dear, where are you going? It’s already late!”

Ethan shouted from behind her.

As if she could not hear him, she left the villa without looking back.

Ethan felt very guilty when his precious daughter was angry.

Lianne disagreed. “She’s already an adult. Nothing will happen to her. Stop trying to spoil her further and eat

instead.”

“You! What do you even wantto say about you!”

Ethan was also angry and had lost his appetite. He didn’t even have the strength to scold her further so he

simply went upstairs after a few

Lianne didn’t care. She wasn’t full yet so she continued eating.

Patrie.

At this moment, the two of them were guarding the door. They were worried that the would get carried away and

get wasted again.

While they were discussing whether to call Eleven over or not, Adrain happened to pass by

He had seen one of them Seventeen before and somewhat knew him is Sybia in there?

The two of them looked at each other and did not answer.

Adrain wasn't embarrassed. He quietly opened the door and took a quick peek. Syiria was alone.

“It’s not good for the health to drink so much I'll go in and persuade her.”

The two of them didn’t know any better way. They thought that Adrain was at least a friend of their young miss.

And if he could help them, then they would not stop him.

Adrain opened the door further and went in. He sat down beside Syiria and gently advised, “Sylvia, stop drinking,

okay? You're already drunk.” Sylvia squinted her misty eyes. She felt rather dizzy. It seemed the was indeed

drunk

“Ed, | missed you Don’t leave. Can you cback?”

Her voice was very low. Only when Adrain leaned in did he clearly hear what she was whispering

Ed?

Was she calling for Edgar?

Adrain suppressed the displeasure in his heart and coaxed, “I won't leave you, Sylvia. | won't go anywhere.”

Sylvia did not respond. She collapsed on the sofa and fell adeep.

After Adrain asked Seventeen, he found that she was in a bad mood tonight and did not want to go back to their

family’s mansion

When the two bodyguards left, he helped Sylvia out of the private room alone.

However, before he could take two steps, an extremely fast figure suddenly appeared in front of him which

stunned him.

By the the cto his senses, the woman he was supporting had already been moved into the other man’s

arms.

The man wore a silver gray mask. Although he could not see his face, the rage was clearly visible in those black

eyes, making the air around him drop

low.

Low,

Just by looking at this mask, Adrain recognized him and greeted him with a smile.

“Mr. Grant, what a coincidence. Are you here to unwind?”

Eder ignored him and carefully hugged the unconscious Sylvia in his arms.

After observing her state, Eder’s eyes were even more hostile. “She has always been a good drinker. How could

she get this drunk? What have you done to her!”
