Falling for a Lie: My Stepbrother's Hidden Revenge

Chapter 12

Chapter 122

After saying this in front of Sylvia, Greg sighed deeply. He turned around, hands behind his back, and stormed out of the president’s office without looking back, consumed by anger.

Once he completely left the Fallen Group, his worried expression disappeared, replaced by a relaxed and cheerful smile.

Meanwhile, inside the office:

Sylvia turned and walked up to Edgar, noticing the slight swelling at the corner of his mouth and the clear imprint of a thumb on the left side of his face.

A beautiful and delicate face that she could enjoy looking at every day had been marred by Greg’s attack. She would definitely deal with that old fox sooner or later!

“Does it hurt?” she asked, pinching his chin and examining his injury.

Edgar showed no expression and didn’t answer. His face appeared calm and indifferent, as if the person

who had been beaten was not him.

Seeing his nonchalant demeanor made Sylvia angry. She viciously pinched the flesh on his left cheek.

Edgar frowned, the pain causing him to turn his face away, trying to escape her grip.

Finally, he showed a different expression. She thought he had no sense of pain.

Sylvia spoke with a stern expression: “Seems like you do feel pain. Then why didn’t you dodge when Greg attacked? Don’t tell me you couldn’t react in time!”

If she didn’t protect him, how many blows could he withstand with his current physical condition?

Edgar tightened the corners of his mouth, his voice tinged with a sweet and bloody taste as he countered, “Where were you on the day Grandfather died?”

Sylvia locked eyes with him, realizing the deep darkness in his black pupils.

Did he believe Greg’s words and suspect that she was truly responsible for the old master’s death?

She didn’t lie: “I was right beside Grandfather. I was the last person he saw before he died.”

“What did he say to you?” Sylvia fell silent for a moment.

Actually, before his passing, the old master not only asked her to help protect the Fallen Family but also
