Falling for a Lie: My Stepbrother's Hidden Revenge

She felt that Sylvia was setting a trap for her, so she chose to skip this question.

He continued to question her. “Director Lancelot, when did you talk to Epicent Films about the cast? Why didn’t I know anything about this?”

“Ms. Gordan, should I inform you before doing things?”

Sylvia sneered. When she looked at Lucy, her eyes were cold. “But who do you think you are?”

Lucy was stunned. She didn’t expect Sylvia to insult her in front of the entire company.

At this moment, everyone’s eyes were fixed on her.

She bit her lip and softened her aura. With a hurt expression, she said respectfully, “I’m sorry. I thought you would discuss it with your subordinates.”

She, who was weak and timid, was confronted with the arrogance of Sylvia.

It was as if her superior had bullied her.

Lucy felt pleased with herself.

She thought, “You wanChapter 43

Edgar pursed his thin lips and strode out of the restaurant without saying a word.

Tim had no choice but to call his subordinates to let them go.

Lucy and Mr. Jameson were tied up in a dark room, shivering.

She had never dreamed Sylvia would be familiar with someone as powerful as Edgar, and her jealousy of Sylvia deepened.

Sylvia was just an orphan raised in an orphanage. On her resume, she seemed to be divorced.

How could such a woman deserve the help of many top men in Frant City?

But at this moment, she was more afraid than jealous.

She was afraid of how Edgar would deal with them.

The light was turned on with a crisp click, and the sudden light almost blinded both.

They were so scared that they trembled. Before they could beg for mercy, they saw that the subordinates of Tim had untied them!

Then, the group of people left directly.

They didn’t even give them a look.

Lucy and Mr. Jameson looked at each other in dismay.

What was going on?

Did they let them go so quickly?

Mediese immediately called Victor to

But Victor’s phone was turned off.

He couldn’t get through, no matter what.

They had no choice but to leave this troublesome place first, or Edgar would regret it and catch them again.

Later, Lucy called Sarah and learned from her that Victor and Louis had been arrested.

Sarah asked, “What happened?”

“Mr. Fallen of the Fallen Group accidentally overheard Mr. Wesley and me. He tied us up. Mr. Fallen is probably the one who sent Mr. Wesley to jail.

Lucy guessed, but she was still a little confused. She continued, “But I still can’t figure it out. Since he sent Mr. Wesley and Mr. Lewis in, why did he let me and Mr. Jameson go?”

Sarah was silent for a moment.

“I’ll send someone to investigate this matter. You just need to keep an eye on that woman.”

“Yes.”

After hanging up the phone, Lucy turned her head and hugged the man beside her.

The man was bald and in his forties. He held her in his arms lustfully and said, “I think the company’s new director is quite good. Why can’t you tolerate her?”

Hearing this, Lucy pushed him away angrily.

“How dare you say that? You promised to help me get promoted, but that woman took the position. If it weren’t for her beauty, would you care about this kind of thing?”

Thinking of something, she continued, “And my car, you gave me a second–hand BMW. Am I so cheap in your heart?”

The man couldn’t answer for a moment, so he could only comfort her gently. “You’re the most important person in my heart. I didn’t have enough money on me earlier, but when I’m free later, I’ll take you to the 4S shop to pick a better one.”

Lucy snorted to express her dissatisfaction.

“If you’re gunning for that director position, I’ll pick apart her flaws at tomorrow’s meeting. You can lend her a hand then. Being a newcomer, she won’t know how to handle it. She’ll make a complete fool of herself in front of everyone. And before long, that director title will be yours.”

Lucy was overjoyed. “It’s a deal.”
