Falling for a Lie: My Stepbrother's Hidden Revenge

Chapter 123

In Sylvia’s information from when she was 15 years old, there was only a mention of an orphanage, yet the young masters from the two powerful and influential families in City S claimed to have known her since childhood….

Could it be that she was also someone from one of the major families in City S?

If that were the case, then why did she end up in Frant City Orphanage and coincidentally save the old

master?

And then she married him, but suddenly took the initiative to divorce him, seized the Fallen Family and the old house while he was away, and even had Chris’s people come to kill him to silence him…

Could it be that everything was premeditated from the beginning?

If that was the case, was her so–called repayment just an act?

All those mentions of repaying her three years of youth–were they all meant to wash away suspicion and evoke his guilt?

Edgar’s dark eyes became serious, and his doubts grew deeper. Lost in his thoughts, the car unknowingly arrived at the entrance of the old house.

Edgar thought of going in by himself and turned to the two bodyguards. “Wait for me at the entrance. I’ll go in and take a look. I’ll be out after a few words.”

The bodyguards had a resolute expression. “No, Miss Sylvia instructed us to protect your safety without leaving your side. Mr. Fallen, please don’t make it difficult for us.”

They really wouldn’t leave him for even a step?

Sylvia was indeed… very cautious of him.

“Then come along, but when I talk to my mother and sister about family matters, could you stay a bit further away and not eavesdrop on our conversation?”

The two bodyguards exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

Since Yvonne was older and had also experienced hardships in her childhood, she understood perseverance. The servants, including Sophia, didn’t intentionally make things difficult for her anymore. On the other hand, Mia was young and arrogant from an early age, and she always resisted the orders from Sophia and the others. As a result, the two of them were assigned different tasks.

or first.

Since he was closer in proximity, Edgar chose to see her

When the servants received the news, they released Mia in advance and arranged for her to wait for Edgar in the corridor.

Mia was dressed as a maid, her eyes red as if she had been crying for a long time.

As soon as she saw Edgar, she saw him as her savior and rushed over to hug him, seeking comfort.

“Brother! You’ve finally come back! Are you here to rescue me? Please take me away quickly. The old house is like hell for me, and I don’t want to stay a second longer.”

She tried to pull Edgar away, but he remained motionless.

She was puzzled.

The bodyguard next to him explained, “He is currently Miss Sylvia’s personal male servant. He can’t save you. He’s just here to see you.”

“What? A personal male servant?!”

Mia was utterly shocked, her hope crumbling.

She couldn’t accept this reality at all. “Brother, how could you submit to her? You’re my brother! You’re the pillar of the Fallen Family! Why… why would you…

The bodyguard wanted to say something but was fiercely stared at by Edgar, so he wisely kept his mouth

shut and moved to a spot two meters away to rest.

Once the person left, Edgar whispered, “Mia, stay calm for a while. I’ll find a way.”

Mia cried in despair, “What can you do? You’re her servant now. What’s the difference between your status and mine and Mom’s? No, no…”

She paused, and a sinister expression gradually appeared on her face.

“I understand now, brother! Now that you can spend time alone with her, you must find an opportunity to kill her. She has ruined me like this, and I can’t coexist with her!”

Seeing her consumed by hatred, Edgar realized that no matter how much he said, she wouldn’t listen.

After reminding her a couple more times to stop causing trouble for now, he turned and prepared to go

see Yvonne.

dead!”

The two bodyguards‘ expressions slightly changed.

Edgar noticed their expressions but said nothing. He continued without looking back to see Yvonne.

Yvonne was in the backyard, clearing weeds.

When she saw her son standing before her unharmed, she felt a sense of joy in regaining what was lost. She hugged Edgar, crying while asking about his well–being.

“My good son, it’s good that you’re back. You’ve lost weight during this time. Are you not eating well? Why is your complexion so pale? Are you sick? I know it’s not easy for you in front of Sylvia, but you must take care of yourself. Otherwise, Mom will worry.”

She caressed Edgar’s face, and although the swelling had already subsided, she still noticed something

amiss.

“What happened to the left side of your face? Who hit you? Was it Sylvia?”

Edgar held her hand. “No, it was Uncle Greg.”

That old man, Greg, actually dared to hit you? Once the crisis in the Fallen Family is over, I’ll make him pay!”

She was furious.

Then she thought, “If Sylvia hadn’t laid a hand on her son, did it mean that she still cared for him deep down?”

She looked around, confirming that the two bodyguards were chatting not far away and that they didn’t pay attention to them. Then she leaned closer to Edgar and whispered in a low voice.

“Son, this woman, Sylvia, is not simple. From sending Nancy to prison to the bankruptcy of the Fallen Family, she has planned everything meticulously. Jade also suspected her identity last time; although she didn’t say anything in the end, I believe her identity is definitely not simple.‘

Edgar furrowed his brows and listened quietly as she spoke.

“Son, you must find an opportunity to investigate her identity. If she really is the daughter of some prominent family, you should be attentive to her, try to remarry her. At the very least, find a way to get her pregnant, like turning raw rice into cooked rice!”

Yvonne used this method to marry into the Fallen l’amily in the first place.
