Falling for a Lie: My Stepbrother's Hidden Revenge

Chapter 272

The ‘elderly woman turned her head and her gaze collided with a pair of cold, piercing eyes

“It's you...”

Sylvia smirked with red lips. “Elizabeth, | never thought you would end up in such a miserable state, with such

despicable thoughts!” The scorn and disgust was felt in the words she spoke

As she reached the end of her words, a fierce glint flashed in her eyes. With a subtle twist of her hand using her

agile jujitsu skills, she forcefully Elizabeth's delicate wrist, resulting in a crisp crack and an

immediate fracture.

“Ah! My hand!”

Elizabeth's face contorted in pain, and the knife she was holding fell to the ground.

Sylvia didn’t stop there, she raised her high-heeled shoe and ruthlessly kicked Elizabeth’s thigh causing the girl

to scream in pain and collapse on the floor, she struggled to get up but failed even after crawling for a long time.

The nearby staff, managers, and assistants were all dumbfounded.

“What are you all still standing there for? Take Abby to wash her eyes!” Sylvia growled.

“Yes, yes.”

The assistant quickly grabbed a dry towel and wrapped it around the wet Abigail before taking her to the

restroom.

Elizabeth who sat on the floor, witnessing the complete failure of her plan, felt extremely resentful.

She had used her last savings to buy the opportunity to follow Abigail's schedule at Bana, thinking about what

she had gone, she immediately felt herself reaching the end of the line and anger flooded her veins.

She screamed at the top of her lungs, pointing at Sylvia, shouting hysterically, “Why did you save her? | became

the target of online ridicule, forced to leave the Butterfly Girl group, and faced millions in breach of contract

compensation. It's all her fault! She deserves to die!”

Sylvia sneered, her eyes filled with irony and disgust at the shameless girl on the floor.

“I was the one who leaked your scandalous photos, | was the one who issued the order for you to leave the

group, and | was the one who orchestrated your current situation. Now, I'm standing right in front of you. Come

and kill me.”

Elizabeth was stunned by her words, and it took her a while to react, She glared at Sylvia with gritted teeth and

staggered over to pick up the dropped dagger with her other hand.

“I'm going to kill you! Kill you!” She yelled in madness.

Just as she gripped the handle of the knife, Sylvia's high heeled shoe stepped on the blade, preventing her from

picking it up.

“Elizabeth, the reason you've ended up like this is your own doing. If you had just stayed in line as an idol and

focused on your work and skills, your path to stardom could have gone a long way.” Sylvia looked at her with pity

in her eyes.

Elizabeth's eyes were red with hot tears streaming down her cheeks.

Sylvia continued, “But you didn’t stay in line. You took the lead in isolating Abby. You knew that her and Tristan

were in a relationship, but you deliberately intervened as a mistress. Did you think Tristan would help you if

something happened to you?”

“It’s too late for him to protect himself. How could he care about your life or death? You two scumbags, you are

both wicked”

Elizabeth was on the verge of collapsing, screaming, and begging with a hoarse voice.

“No! It’s not true! It’s all Abigail's fault. We were all members of the group. Why does she have the opportunity

to take on solo jobs and have exclusive interviews at events? It’s unfair!”

Sylvia remained expressionless. “Abby is positioned as an S-tier artist in Angle. She is highly favoured and will

have a bright future. The contract you signed with her is different from the beginning. You were destined to walk

a different path, but you failed to find your place!”

Elizabeth sat on the ground, filled with despair, her face distorted. She muttered those words again and again,

“It’s not true, it’s not...”

With a blank expression, Elizabeth remained on the ground, filled with despair, as if she had lost her mind. She

continued to repeat the swords, “It’s not my fault, it's not...”

Sylvia withdrew her cold gaze and looked around at the others. “Everyone heard what just happened. She

attempted to attack with a knife, not only targeting Abigail but also me. Someone call the police quickly and

have the police take her away. Don’t contaminate the air in the Bana building.”

“I'll do it! I'll make the call!” a voice was heard in the middle of the staff; someone had volunteered to make the

call and she immediately left to make the call.

Elizabeth was shocked, realizing the situation instantly.

She had been played by Sylvia.

If she had only failed to kill Abigail, she would have at most spent four or five years in prison. But if the were also

charged with attempted murder against Sylvia, her future would be miserable!

Chris Smith was Sylvia's brother, and Eder Storm Grant was her fiance.

If she carried the burden of these charges and went to prison, neither of these men would easily let her

go!

“Ms. Sylvia, | was wrong. | truly realize my mistake. Please givea chance to change, don’t sendto prison!

| beg you!”

She crawled to Sylvia's feet, pleading bitterly, she reached out to grab the hem of her skirt, but Sylvia coldly

avoided her.

Looking down at her, Sylvia's eyes were icy and indifferent, she was never going to pardon someone that tried to

hurt her friend.

Abigail had already cleaned off the dirty water from her body and changed into a clean dress, wrapping herself in

a towel as she emerged from the restroom.

Seeing that she was not seriously injured, Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief and said to Elizabeth, “You don’t need

to apologize to me. You should apologize to Abby. If she is willing to forgive you, | can consider letting you go.”

Elizabeth's hope was reignited, and she crawled to Abigail's feet, knocking her head on the ground.

“Abby, | was wrong! | shouldn't have targeted you deliberately or interfered in your relationship with Trista. You

can beator scold me, but please don’t let Ms. Sylvia sendto prison. | truly realize my mistake. Please,

considering our past as teammates, | beg you!”

Abigail clenched her hands tightly as she looked down at the woman in front of her.

The image of the last tshe caught Tristan and Elizabeth in bed flashed in her mind-the arrogance and

satisfaction on Elizabeth's face, she remembered every single detail.

After committing such an outrageous act, she still had the audacity to ask for a chance?

However, as she looked at Elizabeth's pitiful and wretched appearance, crying her heart out, Abigail remained

silent for a long time.

Sylvia noticed her hesitation and subtly reminded her, “Abby, if | hadn’t stopped her earlier, she would have

taken your life. Do you believe she can truly change? Are you willing to forgive her?”

The hesitation in Abigail's eyes at once turned into determination. “No, | will never forgive her! Elizabeth, adults

should consider the consequences before their actions. Since you've done it, you must take responsibility for

your actions!”

“No! Please, Abby, save me!”

Elizabeth was desperate. She didn’t want to carry the burden of these two charges and go to prison!

If she went in, she would be tortured to death! Soon enough, the sound of the police sirens were heard as they

arrived at the building and cin. A staff member narrated everything to the police officer and he went to

action immediately.

However, this time, Abigail's heart did not waver. She silently watched as the police took Elizabeth away while

she was screaming and begging.

Sylvia approached her, a smile of satisfaction on her face. “After going through so much, you have indeed grown

a lot. That's good!”

Abigail tightened her grip on Sylvia's hand, feeling deeply moved.

Although this incident had delayed the filming progress, Abigail quickly regained her composure and resumed

shooting.

In the evening, when Sylvia returned to the villa, Eder was already inside.

He was sitting on the sofa with his long legs crossed, watching TV, exuding an unmatched air of

arrogance.

Sylvia was a little surprised. “Did you finish work so early today? Isn't Grant Corporation busy?”

“Yes.”

Eder had deliberately returned early. “Sylvia, | have an urgent mission from the National Security Bureau

tomorrow night. | need to go to the border.”

“Tomorrow night?” Sylvia sat beside him. “You're leaving so soon. How long will you be gone?”

“At least three to five days, if not more.”

Sylvia lowered her gaze, contemplating. “Okay, | had an appointment for a hospital visit the day after tomorrow. |

was thinking of going with you.”

Eder pulled her into his arms, carefully examining her for any injuries. “You're perfectly fine. Why do you need to

go to the hospital? Are you feeling unwell?”

“No.”

Thinking about the words of Grandpa Grant earlier, Grant smiled awkwardly.

“When | went out during the day, | ran into Grandpa Grant. It seems like... he really wants a grandchild.

To be honest, | find it quite strange. We've been together so many times, but why isn’t there any movement in

my belly?”

Eder followed her gaze, looking at her belly. His dark eyes narrowed, but he didn’t say anything.

After so many times together, they had not yet conceived a child.

Was it because...

There was a problem with his body.
