Falling for a Lie: My Stepbrother's Hidden Revenge

Chapter 228

After hanging up, she ordered the decoration of the building and returned to her father’s mansion.

But first, she parked the car on the mountainside and gave Patric the spare key to the villa.

She went in to get some things, and then leisurely went to the ancestral hall.

As soon as they arrived a few meters from the entrance of the ancestral hall, they immediately heard the sound of crying. It sounded like Logan’s daughter–in–law, Monica.

“Ethan! You’ve seen how Logan’s face got damaged because of Sylvia. You can’t remain biased towards her for this matter!”

Their son, Lincoln, was also filled with righteous indignation: “Uncle, what she did was going too far. No matter what, my dad is still her elder and relative. Whatever displeasure you feel for him, it still wasn’t right to ruin him like this!”

Amidst the clamor of accusations from his brother’s family, he remained silent in his wheelchair, wrinkled hands lightly twisting a rosary.

Uncle Lloyd sighed from the side as if he was about to say something, but he never did speak.

Ethan noticed it and asked, “What can you say about this?”

“Ah, I wouldn’t dare, sir.”

“It’s alright. I’m here and I’m giving you permission. Don’t worry.”

Uncle Lloyd thought for a while: “Sir, I don’t think words should be the immediate basis to decide for this matter. Since Sir Logan’s side accuses Ms. Sylvia, then it should be right for them to produce evidence.”

Lianne, who was sitting on the side, was unconvinced. “Honey, you know Sylvia’s personality. She is used to being arrogant. It’s not surprising that she would do such a thing. What other evidence is needed?”

Ethan still remained silent, making it impossible for anyone to guess what he was thinking.

Logan suddenly stood up from his chair and walked towards the futon in front of the altar. “I swear with my life that it is true that Sylvia hurt me with sulfuric acid. If I lied, then let thunder strike me.”

Just as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang outside.

He was so frightened that he knelt on the futon and shrank into a ball, his legs shaking.

Monica and Lincoln were pale with shock.

The atmosphere in the room became especially solemn because of the rumbling outside.
