Falling for a Lie: My Stepbrother's Hidden Revenge

Chapter 254

Everyone who came was on the previous invitation list. Beth cleared her throat sharply and shouted, “Welcome President Benjamin Anderson from Anderson Enterprises, President Olivia Reed from Reed

Productions, Ms. Sophia Bennett from Bennett Studios, Mr. Matthew Taylor from Taylor Media… to the

Angle Group!”

Businessmen are all about prioritizing their interests. Although it was Mr. Smithar who had influenced those big shots who had previously made excuses not to come, they were now rushing to the scene at the fastest speed.

The invited guests all arrived in the last ten minutes, and Laura quickly helped Sylvia welcome them.

Lianne’s face turned green with anger. There were too many people who arrived, and their entrance was

packed with no empty space.

She sat in a chair, submerged in the crowd, forcibly pushed to a corner. If it weren’t for the bodyguard supporting her, she would have almost fallen.

Everyone was busy showing courtesy in front of Sylvia, no one cared about her at all.

Laura gave her a cold look, “There are too many guests here, Sylvia and I may not be able to take care of you. Isn’t it hard to be slapped in the face? If you can’t keep up the pretense, it’s better you leave immediately.”

“You!” Being insulted so bluntly, Lianne’s face twisted with anger.

She was unwilling to leave it at that and continued to sarcastically say in a low voice, “Sylvia, even if you have Eder protecting you, so what? I heard he is cruel to women, has a weird personality, and is incredibly ugly. Taking care of him at the Ji family during this time must be unbearable, right?”

Sylvia was taken aback, but she just chuckled and didn’t bother explaining.

Compared to arguing with Lianne, it was more important to greet the arriving guests.

Laura, on the other hand, looked at Lianne indifferently and sarcastically said with a gentle expression, “Did you misjudge? Eder might disappoint you. Not only is he handsome, responsible, and considerate, but he is also gentle and caring towards Sylvia. Are you annoyed?”

Lianne was stunned. How could this be so different from the rumors about Eder?

She didn’t know whether what Laura said was true or false, so she could only resort to another method of mockery and deliberately raised her voice, “Maybe, but he intentionally skipped the Dust–Washing Banquet last time, and he didn’t show up for the ribbon–cutting ceremony this time. I think he simply

The noisy discussion stopped consciously, creating a quiet environment. He gently picked up Sylvia’s left hand, kissed the back of her hand, and said in a low, magnetic voice, “I’m sorry,
