Falling for a Lie: My Stepbrother's Hidden Revenge

Chapter 145

Sylvia lightly frowned. The tone of his words seemed a bit flirtatious to her.

She snorted coldly and sarcastically remarked, “I don’t remember if you were capable in the past, but now I’m guessing…”

Edgar’s face instantly paled, understanding her implication. Due to the effects of the special drug he had injected, his physical strength was not as it used to be.

But as a man, how could he possibly admit defeat in that aspect?

Without hesitation, he replied, “Do you want to try it now? Let’s see if I can handle it.”

“You’re asking for trouble!”

Sylvia was very angry, her starry eyes glaring at him fiercely as she maliciously pinched his left cheek and twisted it forcefully.

“Ouch, it hurts…”

Edgar’s face contorted into a knot, unable to dodge and could only playfully cry out in pain.

Sylvia released her grip in anger.

His left cheek had turned red from the pinch, and tears were welling up from the pain. He didn’t dare to rub it in front of her, wearing a pitiful expression like a pushover.

Although she knew he was deliberately putting on a show for her, seeing his miserable appearance made Sylvia feel somewhat relieved, and her anger subsided.

“Get off the car. Today is the first day of your life–or–death challenge. I’m heading back to Angle.”

“Okay.”

Edgar first brushed off the dust on his knee, sat back in the car seat, tidied his collar slightly, and the coldly opened the car door and got out.

Sylvia watched as he effortlessly switched between expressions. It was such a pity that he didn’t become

an actor!

She called Fifteen and Eighteen in the back seat to follow him, and then headed straight to Angle.

Time flew fast when one was engrossed in work.
