Falling for a Lie: My Stepbrother's Hidden Revenge

“Exactly.”

Her tone was calm.

Seeing his strong reaction, Sylvia continued, “I’ve made a rough calculation, and by now, you’ve almost paid off your debt. Shouldn’t you be happy about terminating the agreement? You can continue being the young master of the Fallen Family.”

Although she said that, clearing his debt had always been his goal.

But…

“Previously, you said that once the debt was repaid, we would have no further contact, that we would become strangers. Is that true?” Edgar’s gaze was serious.

“Yes,” she replied with determination.

“In that case, I won’t sign. You also mentioned that one year of service is equivalent to three years, but it’s only been a little over half a month. I haven’t fully repaid it yet!”

His eyebrows furrowed, and his cheeks puffed up as he handed her the termination agreement form.

Sylvia didn’t reach out to take it, and her expression turned cold once again. “Edgar, stop causing trouble and sign!”

Feeling quite frustrated by her harshness, Edgar shifted closer to her and grasped her delicate wrist. His voice trembled a bit as he spoke.

“I took Adrain away, and I pretended to be injured to deceive you. Are you still angry with me? Sylvia, I promise I won’t deceive you again. Moreover, you already punished me last night, and I’ve been falsely accused in the Nancy incident. Our wrongdoings cancel each other out. Don’t be angry anymore…”

Sylvia earnestly pulled her hand away. “I’m not angry. It’s precisely because I’m rational that I think I should let you go. We should both lead peaceful lives separately, which will be good for both of us.”

Did not being angry mean that his actions no longer evoked any emotions in her?

Didn’t this indicate that she no longer cared about him at all, that she no longer harbored resentment or

disgust?

Edgar felt quite miserable.

“Well, you can continue being angry then, because I don’t want to let you go. I won’t sign this termination agreement.”

“Edgar!”

Sylvia furrowed her brows and looked at him darkly. “I’m simply informing you, not seeking your opinion. Whether you sign it or not, you will have to sign.”
