Falling for a Lie: My Stepbrother's Hidden Revenge

Chapter 253

Deep in thought, Sylvia was interrupted by the sight of a limited edition black Lamborghini Batmobile circling around the fountain pool and stopping at the entrance. The bodyguard in the passenger seat was the first to step out and assist with the door.

Elegantly stepping out of the car, Laura Smith emerged in a sophisticated and dignified white dress. Her tall figure and meticulous appearance reflected her status as the wife of Mr. Chris Smith, as well as her reputation as the most beautiful flight attendant in the Ministry of Civil Aviation of Freedonia.

Sylvia greeted her sister–in–law with utmost politeness and courtesy. “Sister–in–law, why are you here?”

“Chris had some matters to handle at the State Affairs Bureau, and I had some free time, so I came to support you,” Laura explained with a gentle smile. Naturally, she took hold of Sylvia’s wrist, but her gaze quickly shifted to the deserted building, and she subconsciously checked the time.

“Why is it still so quiet? What’s going on?” Laura questioned, her concern evident.

Laura and Sylvia immediately realized the implications. If no business tycoons were present by the start of the ribbon–cutting ceremony, it would be reported in the afternoon news.

This would inevitably invite online ridicule and undermine Sylvia’s aspirations of breaking away from the Smith family and establishing her independent career.

Sylvia maintained a serious expression, but Laura’s concern intensified. Sylvia reassured her with a smile, “Sister–in–law, don’t worry. Perhaps they were delayed on their way.”

Turning her attention to her assistant, Beth White, who had been transferred from Frant City, Sylvia instructed, “Call the guests according to the list and inquire about the situation. Offer any assistance they may need.”

“Understood, Director Lancelot,” Beth replied promptly.

Laura shook her head in disappointment. “Not a single person has arrived. What a coincidence. Don’t try to comfort me. You are the one who will be affected the most.”

Sylvia maintained a calm smile. “What is there to fear? We still have twenty minutes before the ceremony begins, and even if no one comes today, I will still cut the ribbon!” Her determination shone through her words.

As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of a woman’s laughter rang out from outside the fountain pool, like silver bells. Lianna Stanley walked towards them in an enchanting purple dress, Sylviafully and elegantly. “This is the funniest joke I’ve heard today. It seems that without the Smith family’s reputation, no one is willing to give you face, little princess. How pathetic.” Laura and Sylvia both frowned at the
