Falling for a Lie: My Stepbrother's Hidden Revenge

Chapter 81

Hearing a voice that rang a bell.

Sarah abruptly swiveled her head towards the stairway to find Sylvia, donned in a ravishing velvet gown, trailed by a stern–faced man.

The man’s face was obscured by a mask.

“You! How on earth? Weren’t you pushing up daisies?!”

Sarah’s smile hung frozen on her face, her eyes brimming with shock. Incredulously, she questioned, “How in the world?! You took a leap of faith from that plane! How did you manage to make it back alive?!”

“Sorry to rain on your parade, Miss Grammer,” Sylvia replied, a mischievous glint in her eyes and an alluring smile as captivating as ever.

“You bitch, it’s all because of you that Patric decided to call it quits with our engagement. I swear I’ll get you!”

Sarah, boiling over with rage, lunged towards Sylvia, looking as if she were ready to meet her maker along with her adversary.

Sylvia deftly sidestepped, leaving Sarah, failing to keep her balance, nearly eating dirt.

Hedda’s condition, I’ll hold the fort here.”

“Alright, she’s in your hands then.”

Sylvia agreed promptly, and with Chad, her bodyguard in tow, entered Hedda’s room.

Watching Sylvia’s figure retreat into the hallway’s depths, Patric turned his grim gaze towards Sarah, sprawled on the floor.

“I’ve given the Grammer family a heads up, this engagement is null and void. You better pull your socks

up. While I’m still not in the mood to settle the score, beat it.”

His face was a canvas of disgust.

“How could you do this to me! Patric, I’m the one who loves you the most. Is this how you repay my love? Are you so ruthless? You’re pulling my leg, right? You won’t call off the engagement!”

Patric, stone faced, towered over her at his impressive height of 6’2“, beholding her pathetic state.
