Falling for a Lie: My Stepbrother's Hidden Revenge

Chapter 239

Sylvia’s eyes remained hard in determination. “Yes, Grandfather. I don’t think we’re compatible. By any chance, perhaps we can just remain friends in the future,”

Mr. Grant was still very surprised that she would suddenly make such a decision. “Sylvia, did that kid bully you? Tell me. Tell your Grandpa so I can help you sort it out!”

“No. He wouldn’t dare hurt me in any way. This is all on my own decision.”

Fifteen minutes later.

Sylvia walked out of Mr. Grant’s villa with a bitter expression. Fifteen was waiting for her at the door.

When he saw her coming out, he quickly stepped forward and asked, “How did it go, Miss? Did Mr. Grant

agree?”

Sylvia stared and the ground and shook her head.

Mr. Grant analyzed the pros and cons of it all. Their names carried a lot of weight alone. And her union with Eder was not an ordinary engagement as it was also a business agreement. There were just too many factors involved.

If they canceled the engagement after only two days, both the Grant family and the Smith family would face huge economic losses and negative public opinion.

The impact wasn’t going be light.

Moreover, Mr. Grant wasn’t involved with the Grant family’s business affairs anymore. It was Eder who held the current position for power. If they wanted to break the marriage, they had to discuss with Eder.

However, with his annoying personality, she could imagine that even if she held a gun to his head, he would never agree to break off the engagement.

Sylvia was very angry but there was nothing she could do.

Eder really ate up this round!

She finally understood why her third brother couldn’t leave his engagement with Sarah for more than two years even when he clearly hated her so much. Because of it, they were stuck merely engaged. A business marriage just wasn’t easy to cancel.
