Falling for a Lie: My Stepbrother's Hidden Revenge

Eder sighed softly. Remembering Fifteen’s story made him feel guilty.

“Go on. I've made her life so miserable for the past six months so | have to give something back and stop feeling

like | owe her anything.”

Eric paused, hesitating.

He didn’t owe Ms. Sylvia anything anymore!

But Eric also knew that Eder loved Sylvia too much and would do everything in his power to please her.

He loved too deeply even at the expense of himself.

Eric felt really sorry for his boss but there was nothing else he could do.

Sylvia woke up.

The first thing she did was to check her body for any hickeys.

She belatedly noticed the neatly folded quilt on the small sofa.

It seemed that Eder did not take advantage of her last night.

He was actually willing to sleep on the sofa, which proved he was a clean man. He was different from the rumors

she had heard before.

She still remembered everything that happened before she was drunk last night.

It was an emotional rollercoaster for her, after all. However, she was under the influence of the wine, hence, her

feelings got the best of her.

Now that she was sober, she realized that Eder’'s matter was too strange so she had to investigate further.

When Mr. Grant invited her to have breakfast together, she immediately wanted to refuse. But she thought of

Eder and changed her mind.

At the dinner table, she took advantage of the interval between chatting with Mr. Grant and interjected

tentatively:

“Grandfather, | heard that Mr. Storm only returned six months ago. | saw him last night. He is very.

handsome, but why are there rumors that he is ugly?”

Mr. Grant's expression did not change. “After establishing a foothold in the city, too many ladies wanted to stick

to him. He didn’t like it, so he spread the rumors.”

“I see.” Sylvia smiled softly and continued to ask, “Did he always look like this?”

“Otherwise?” Mr. Grant's wrinkled face had a very natural expression, but Sylvia could detect his

suspicion.

Sylvia laughed even brighter. “It’s just that I've seen how handshe was, and now | want to see pictures of

him.”

“I don’t have any pictures, unfortunately. That kid really hates taking pictures.”

‘He hates taking pictures?’

It was quite similar to Edgar.

She remained silent and continued to eat breakfast.

Back in the car.

She remembered what Abigail had said to her at the Honey Bar.

She said, “My cousin is also quite pitiful. When he returned from a mission in the army half a year ago, his whole

body was covered in blood. He was seriously injured. | heard that he vomited blood every day,

which worried Grandpa...”

Edgar passed away half a year ago, and Eder also happened to return to the Grant family’s house half a year ago

with fatal injuries.

Could there be any connection between the two?

In order to answer her doubts, she called Abigail.

“Sylvia, you actually took the initiative to look for me. I'm very flattered!”

Sylvia asked calmly, “Abigail, I'm calling you today to ask about Eder.”

“Ohhh...”

Abigail replied meaningfully, “I understand. What do you want to ask him? I'll try my best to answer!”

“When did he return to the Grant family six months ago?”

Abigail thought about it for a while. “It’s been too long. | can’t remember very well”

“Then do you think there's something different about him now?”

“Not really. He was sent to the army since he was a child and seldom cback in the recent years, especially

after he turned fifteen. He never cback until only half a year ago.”

He had never returned to the Grant family since he was fifteen years old?

Weird.

Sylvia continued asking, “Last time, | heard you say that he was injured when he cback. Where did he get

injured? Were his face and back seriously injured?”

“I don’t know much about that. | haven't seen his injuries. | only heard from their servants that it was really

serious. During the twhen he was fighting with my second uncle for power, he cin a wheelchair and

wearing a mask.”

After prodding more from her, there wasn’t any other particularly useful information.

Sylvia exchanged a few words with her before hanging up.

Fifteen, who was driving in the front row, asked curiously, “Miss, why are you suddenly so concerned

about Mr. Storm? Did something happen between you two last night?”

Sylvia was busy figuring out this matter so she didn’t have tto pay attention to his teasing and only said, “I

always feel like something is off. | feel that Edgar is not dead.”

He did not believe it. “How can that be? Not to mention that Mr. Fallen was already seriously injured before the

accident, if his injuries beforehand didn’t kill him, then the accident would have done it. His chances of surviving

were really low. Besides, we even cremated his body.”

“Is it possible that the body was fake? Maybe it was replaced by someone of similar stature.”

Fifteen thought about it and replied with all seriousness, “It's possible, but if he is really still alive, why didn’t he

cfind you? He used to want to always stick by your side every day.”

This was also something that Sylvia could not figure out.

She looked out of the car window, distracted. Eder’s appearance last night flashed in her mind.

He might have concealed it well, but she always felt like she knew him. When he would grow nervous, he would

have the shabitual small gestures as Edgar. They also had the seyes.

How could there be such a coincidence?

But why didn’t he have a scar on his body?

The burns caused by the S40 strong corrosive agent would have left scars that were difficult to remove.

It seemed like she had to ask her brother.

But firstly, she went to visit the new building of the Angle Group. The decorations and other furniture were

almost set. After a few days, she could finally transfer the business here.

She then went to the CEO's office on the top floor and she sat on the office chair while her bodyguard,

Simon, stood outside the door.

She checked her brother's flight itinerary and found out that it was his rest day today, so she called him.

“Is there any medicine that is particularly effective at removing scars and leaving the skin completely free

of traces?”

Chris: “No. No matter how good a medicine is, it’s still impossible for the skin to recover to this level. Why

are you asking? Are you injured?”

Sylvia quickly shook her head. “No. I'm just curious so I'm asking.”

“If you want your skin to recover completely without leaving any traces, then you have to get a plastic surgery

and a skin replacement surgery. Currently, only Country H has the technology to do that.”

Sylvia was silent for a long tbefore she said seriously, “Did you hear about my engagement with

Eder?”

“Yes. What about it?”

“Eder seems to be from the National Bureau of Investigation. His whereabouts are well hidden. It's not easy for
