Falling for a Lie: My Stepbrother's Hidden Revenge

Chapter 143

Did he guess it? Or did Yvonne sell him out?

Greg stumbled back two steps.

After steadying himself, he grinned, pretending to be clueless. “Nephew, what do you mean by that?

Uncle doesn’t understand.”

Edgar had a cold expression and didn’t fall for his act at all.

Seeing him remain silent, Greg discreetly glanced at the bodyguards behind Sylvía. They all had grim

faces, looking fierce as if they were about to devour someone.

Worried that his family might be affected, he turned his head and signaled Hailey with his eyes. “Joyce hasn’t freshened up yet. Hurry and take her upstairs to wash. We can’t afford to lose decorum in front of esteemed guests.”

“Okay,” Hailey understood and turned to pull her precious daughter. “Joyce, let’s go.”

Before they could climb the stairs, Sylvia’s four bodyguards swiftly blocked their path. Eleven and Twelve blocked the staircase, while Fifteen and Seventeen guarded the entrance.

“What… What are you doing? You’re being too arrogant! This is my house,” Greg exclaimed, his face

turning red with anger.

Joyce felt a bit scared and hid in Hailey’s embrace.

“If we don’t clarify things today, no one will be able to leave,” Sylvia smiled, lifted the tea cup from the

table, and took a sip.

I didn’t know where she got those two packets of medicine from. She told me about her plan and asked for my help, but I didn’t agree. I even tried to dissuade her…”

He paused, as if realizing something. “Judging from this situation, did she really succeed?”

“And you, former niece–in–law, did anything happen to you? I heard that medicine is quite potent. It’s all my fault. I should have tried to persuade her again,” he sighed, filled with regret.

With these two statements, not only did he clear himself of the matter, but he also strengthened the
