Falling for a Lie: My Stepbrother's Hidden Revenge

Chapter 192

As expected, the little troublemaker, Sylvia, couldn’t afford any suffering.

Patric shook his head and sighed, vowing to never mess with this little ancestor again.

On the other end of the phone, Chris was oblivious to the fact that he had fallen into a trap. “I heard from Patric that you have been collecting evidence on the Evans family lately. I happened to take a look at a file and will have Patric fax it to your work computer tomorrow.” he said.

Sylvia chuckled inwardly. Did he really think she had the time to “happened to take a look” things over? She had planned to wait until after she was punished to bring this up. So, does this count as a slap and a sweet date? It felt a little uncomfortable to think about, but she considered it payback for her brother’s broken promise.

Not bad at all! And there was no reason not to have the evidence delivered right to her door. Sylvia sweetly replied, blowing off Chris’s empty promises before finally ending the call.

Due to Edgar being in the hospital, it was quite late by the time Sylvia finished kneeling. She casually tidied up a room and let Patric spend the night at Cloud View Villa.

The next morning, Sylvia went to work as usual. The evidence that Chris had promised was quickly sent to her via fax. She typed it out and carefully reviewed its contents. True to form, her big brother was

efficient.

The evidence was detailed enough to ensure that Jade would spend the rest of his life behind bars. Tomorrow, she would bring doomsday upon the Evans family.

She called May for a meeting, and before she knew it, she was busy until the afternoon. Thinking about Edgar still recovering from his injuries in the hospital, she pondered for a moment before calling Fifteen and instructing him to find something small.

When it was time to leave work, Sylvia packed up and headed back to Cloud View Villa. Upon arriving, she unexpectedly ran into Eleven?! She frowned and asked, “Why are you back? Weren’t you supposed to be guarding the hospital?”

Eleven explained, “Mr. Fallen said he didn’t want to stay in the hospital.”

“He was discharged so soon?” Sylvia fell silent for a moment. She had originally planned to visit him at the hospital that night. Now that they were all back, it seemed like their injuries had almost healed.

She took a step forward and was about to enter when Eleven leaned closer and whispered, “Miss, I think something’s off with Mr. Fallen this time.”
