Falling for a Lie: My Stepbrother's Hidden Revenge

Chapter 160

It was half past ten in the evening. Finally, the charity banquet at the Garden Hotel came to an end. As Jade walked towards the entrance, she glanced sideways at the man beside her.

He was as aloof as ever, with an indomitable aura between his brows. Jade thought about how he had acted helpless and fragile in front of Sylvia earlier. It piqued her curiosity.

“I thought it was my cousin who had changed, but it turns out that cousin only changed towards

someone in particular. I’m really curious, cousin, are you just acting in front of her, or have you truly

fallen for her?”

Edgar stood tall with his back straight, exuding an air of elegance in his suit as if he hadn’t heard her words, walking in silence. Despite being ignored, Jade didn’t feel embarrassed. She continued walking and got into the car with him.

Eric sat between them in the backseat like a sandwich cookie, since Edgar was reluctant to sit next to Jade. He became an impromptu barrier between them.

The car sped away, and it only took eight minutes to reach the outskirts. It was a desolate but exquisitely

crafted wooden house.

Along with the bodyguards Jade had brought, the four of them entered the small wooden house.

Only one kerosene lamp was lit inside the house, casting a dim light.

Edgar surveyed the room and noticed that whether it was the bedsheets, the tabletop, or the bedside, everything was clean and showed signs of being inhabited.

It seemed that Nancy had been living here ever since she was brought out of prison.

With this in mind, Edgar glanced at Jade and sneered, “I didn’t expect the Evans family to have such ability, actually being able to stealthily take someone out of prison without anyone noticing.”

Jade chuckled and replied, “Of course. She is your beloved, and by saving her, I am helping you, my dear

brother.”

“She is not,” Edgar responded without hesitation. She had never been his beloved.

At that moment, Nancy sat on the wooden bed, no longer displaying the frantic and derang she had at the banquet. Although her face still bore the marks of injuries, she seemed like a dicht

person.

Upon hearing Edgar’s immediate denial, Nancy couldn’t help but burst into tears, large drops rolling
