Falling for a Lie: My Stepbrother's Hidden Revenge

Chapter 203

Sylvia didn’t hold back. “Yes, if you didn’t, how could you have been caught?”

Nick smiled, his expression somewhat desolate.

“When did you start suspecting me?”

“Ever since you took out the revolver and asked me to choose between shooting Edgar and Nancy, I felt that something was off about you.”

How could she have suspected me all along? Nick looked at her in disbelief.

She remained expressionless and continued, “It wasn’t until the last time, when you were about to leave Frant City. I accidentally saw the man in black in the bar corridor in that bar, and I encountered the acid incident that day. Then I suspected that you have some connections with the person in Smiths.”

Nick smiled faintly. “So, that’s what happened.”

“Nick, you are the only person I have admired since I was a child. But why did you want to kill me?”

He shook his head, still denying it. “I didn’t. The Smith family announced your death earlier. You don’t know how devastated I was. I only found out that you were still alive half a month ago. I pretended to cooperate to come to Frant City and see you.”

“If you still love me, I’ll fight them to the end for you, but… you have an annoying dog by your side!”

“That day at the bar, I was standing on the second floor. I didn’t want to do it. It was only when Edgar came in that I knew he would protect you, so I did it. I didn’t want to target you. How could I willingly hurt you?”

He continued speaking, his attractive eyes filled with affection as he looked at Sylvia.

But Sylvia had no time to appreciate his good looks; instead, she sneered.

“Don’t you think it’s funny? If he couldn’t help me, it would be me who’s hurt right now. And he claims it wasn’t against me.”

Her eyes grew colder, and she couldn’t be bothered to continue with the nonsense. “Don’t hide it. I just want to know who the person from the Smith family that harmed me. As long as you tell me, I won’t make things difficult for you.”

Nick lowered his eyes, and a sad twitch appeared at the corner of his mouth.
