Falling for a Lie: My Stepbrother's Hidden Revenge

Chapter 157

That evening, the charity gala took place.

It was held at the most splendid Garden Hotel in Frant City.

The hotel was magnificent, and it was filled with influential business tycoons and heirs of prominent families from Frant City.

Since she was attending a charity event, Sylvia chose a black qipao with gold cloud patterns. Her hair was elegantly swept to the side, making her look mature, charming, and exuding a captivating allure.

Ever since the talent show, everyone knew that she was the boss of Angle. When they looked at her, there were fewer judgmental gazes.

As soon as she and Tom appeared, they instantly became the center of attention. With Tom’s popularity in the entertainment industry, the two of them captured the focus of the discussions.

Sylvia, who had always maintained a low profile, unexpectedly couldn’t help but shine on this occasion.

Tom noticed that she seemed a little unhappy and chuckled.

“Well, there’s nothing I can do. Sister is too beautiful. Qipaos are quite picky when it comes to body shape, but this qipao on sis seems to be tailor–made. Bringing you to events like this never disappoints me. I’m so

impressed!”

Sylvia glanced at him and whispered, “You’re already making jokes so soon. I guess the beating you received during the day doesn’t hurt anymore?”

Tom’s expression instantly changed, and he complained while circling his arm around hers, “No, it still hurts… It hurts a lot… I even had action scenes in the afternoon, and it hurt like hell!”

Sylvia couldn’t help but chuckle and lightly flick his forehead.

Their playful interaction caught the attention of Edgar, who was not far away. His eyes grew cold, and this scene made him feel suffocated, as if his heart was being tightly squeezed.

But he knew he had no right to feel jealous. Yet he couldn’t help but feel unhappy.

Very unhappy!

Jade, standing beside him, keenly sensed the low pressure aura emanating from him, especially when she saw his clenched fist with prominent veins.

“Cousin, shall we go and greet Miss Sylvia and Tom?”
