Falling for a Lie: My Stepbrother's Hidden Revenge

Chapter 259

Mr. Smith patted his shoulder with relief. It wasn’t that he treated his daughter poorly, but he had been scolded

and managed by her mother his entire life.

Sylvia's personality was very similar to her mother’s, with the sarrogance and recklessness, fearless of

anyone or anything.

He didn’t want his daughter to follow in her mother’s footsteps. He hoped she would be obedient, someone to

look after her so she wouldn't take risks or put herself in danger, living a safe and peaceful

life.

Eder’s expression grew more contemplative as he left the study, lost in his thoughts about the matter at hand. In

the corridor, Sylvia was waiting for him and immediately sensed that something was amiss. “What did Dad say

to you? Why do you look troubled as soon as you cout?”

Deep in thought, Eder tenderly held her hand. “It’s nothing, he just toldto take good care of you in the

future. Let's go, it's getting late.”

The two held hands and got into the car heading back to the Grant family villa.

In the car, Sylvia noticed his pale lips and his overall complexion not looking too good, feeling a bit worried. “Are

you sure you're not feeling uncomfortable? Should we go back and have a doctor check on you?TM*

“No need, I'm really fine.” Eder lightly shook his head.

Since that temporary blindness and deafness in the garden, it hadn't happened again until now. Maybe he was

just overthinking.

On the other hand, Mr. Smith had presented him with a difficult problem.

If he couldn't win over the most important future father-in-law, it would be difficult to proceed with the

engagement, regardless of their prior arrangements. But how should he deal with Sylvia?

Seeing his distracted state, Sylvia didn’t ask further questions.

The next morning, Eder had to personally attend the monthly staff meeting at the Grant Corporation. while

Sylvia had a meeting at Angle. They left the house together.

Eder had dropped off Sylvia at the entrance of Angle before heading to the Grant Corporation.

It seemed that Eric had been waiting for him at the door for a while. The lengthy staff meeting finally concluded

after three hours.

Chapter 259

In the CEO's office, Eric handed Eder the summary materials from the meeting

Eder took them but beclost in thought, staring blankly at the documents.

“Boss?”

He snapped out of his daze, “What's wrong?”

“You...you’'ve holding the documents upside down...”

Eder didn’t feel embarrassed and calmly rotated the documents, flipping them over.

Eric could tell that he was preoccupied. Since the incident where he was fined and forbidden from entering the

villa, Eric had been frustrated and was looking for an opportunity to make amends.

“Boss, if there’s something you can’t figure out, you can share it with me. | have plenty of ideas! Hehe!”

Eder thought for a moment and decided to ask, “In your opinion, betweenand Sylvia, who would have a

higher family status in the future?”

Eric looked puzzled.

“Do | need to consider this question?”

“Definitely Sylvia, Sylvia,” he replied.

Eder furrowed his brows. “Why? Where did you get that idea from?”

And

Eric said seriously, “Boss, isn’t it obvious? And everyone in the company knows you have a strict wife, you're

afraid of her!”

Eder’s eyes twitched, realizing that everyone in the company thinks that way. “But I'm just being considerate to

Sylvia, how did it turn into being afraid of her?”

Eric’s pupils shifted left and right, hesitating to expose him directly.

Eder’s expression turned cold. If he let this perception persist among his employees, the false image might soon

becreal.

He needed to find a way to regain his authority in Sylvia's eyes. “Do you have any good ideas?”

Eric was confused, “Boss, what do

you

mean?”

“Mr. Smith wantsto properly discipline Sylvia, to turn her into a submissive wife. Otherwise, he will

reconsider our engagement. Helpfigure out how | can establish my authority with Sylvia.”

Eric looked shocked, not sure if it's possible because of Sylvia's personality.

Eder seemed serious, and Eric tried to think of a solution to help him.

“I've got it! Boss, wait for me!” Eric quickly left the office.

Five minutes later, he returned with a thick ruler and gave it to Eder.

“Women who don’t listen indeed need proper discipline. Since we're talking about discipline and education, it's

only fitting to have sstrict household rules and establish a reputation. Maybe we can cup with a few

rules that might work!”

Eder’s face darkened as he examined the ruler in his hand, realizing it was as thick as his pinky finger. It would

surely hurt if he used it.

What if he accidentally hit Sylvia? How could he bear to...

Moreover, what if she got scared and ran away?

He gave Eric a cold look. “Are you suggesting that | use such a harsh tool to assert my authority by hitting

her?”

“No need for actual physical punishment. Just put on a fierce expression and shout at her a bit, scare her. Many

women actually hope for their men to be dominant and forceful. What if she falls for it?”

Eder looked at the ruler in his hand, lost in thought.

Yesterday, before they went to the Smith's Villa for dinner, he raised his voice at Sylvia in the living room.

Surprisingly, she burst into tears, looking hurt and fragile.

He had never seriously scolded her before. Maybe she really would respond positively to this approach?

Eric continued persuading, “Let's just give it a try. If it doesn’t work or if something seems off, we quickly

apologize and show sincere remorse. Then, this matter will be resolved, right?”

Eder contemplated carefully, planning to find an opportunity to try it out when he got hafter work! Asserting

his role as the head of the household!

As it was nearing the end of the workday, Sylvia started packing up her things, preparing to wait for Eder to pick

her up.

Suddenly, Beth rushed in, wearing an anxious expression.

“What happened?” Sylvia asked.

“Today, Abigail Green didn’t attend the group activity. Her manager just found her; she secretly went to South

Lake and attempted suicide by jumping into the lake!”

“What!”

Sylvia immediately stood up from her chair. “Where is she? Is she dead?”

“No, luckily she was discovered in time, and they rushed her to the hospital for treatment. But when she jumped,

it seems many passersby saw it. Now, the Butterfly Girl group is at the height of their popularity, and if news of

her suicide attempt gets out, it will have a tremendous impact on us!”

If a popular idol group like theirs were to be associated with such negative news, the intewould explode with

rumors, affecting the other girls as well.

Sylvia sat back down in her office chair, calmly analyzing the situation.

“Retrieve all the surrounding surveillance footage, hire PR personnel to quickly find all the witnesses and pay

them to keep quiet. If there are any recorded videos, delete them. Additionally, contact the major media

companies with significant influence. If they plan to report on it, intercept the news immediately.”

“But ma'am, there may be blind spots in the surveillance, and identifying all the witnesses will require significant

tand effort.”

“Start searching as thoroughly as possible to minimize the severity of the situation. If that doesn’t work, follow

my instructions and do it accordingly.”

“Givethe hospital address where Abigail is.”

“Okay. Here's the hospital address ma'am.”

Upon receiving the hospital location, Sylvia immediately hailed a taxi. Abigail had experienced hardships before,

and she wouldn't choose to end her life unless something extremely serious had happened.

Due to the suddenness of the situation, Sylvia was in a hurry and forgot to send a message to Eder, who had

planned to pick her up.
