Falling for a Lie: My Stepbrother's Hidden Revenge

Chapter 261

She held onto his fingertips, preventing him from instinctively retracting due to pain. She raised her right hand high in the air and swung the ruler with all her might, striking him three times in succession.

This time, she didn’t hold back. With her skills in martial arts, she put all her strength into each strike.

Eder sucked in a sharp breath, his jaw clenched tightly, and his arm trembled uncontrollably. His broad palm quickly swelled up, filled with blood, displaying vivid purplish–red marks.

The palm was only so big, not as large as his back. With each strike of the ruler, the impact piled up in the same spot. Eder despised this kind of pain.

Because the palm was fragile, the excruciating pain was piercing. His attempt to establish his authority backfired, and he was instead reprimanded by Sylvia. He felt both pain and frustration. He shouldn’t have listened to Eric’s ridiculous idea!

What a ridiculous notion to establish authority with a stupid ruler. It only provided Sylvia with a convenient tool and a valid reason to bully him!

Sylvia saw the pain in his eyes and asked the same question, her voice filled with concern. “Does it hurt?”

Eder understood and let out a plaintive sound through clenched teeth, “It hurts…”

Sylvia glanced at his swollen palm, her heart aching for him. She put down the ruler and changed her grip, using her thumb to gently massage away the pain.

As she massaged, she spoke in a gentle and reassuring tone. “Since you know it hurts, if you were to hit me, the pain I would feel might be even stronger than yours. So why would you want to use this kind of thing to bully me?”

Eder felt a sense of injustice and couldn’t help but explain, his words filled with genuine remorse. “I didn’t mean it. I was just trying to scare you. How could I ever bring myself to really hit you with this?”

But Sylvia was willing to use it to hit him. Not only did she hit him, but she struck him with great force!

After striking him, she would proceed to massage the affected area, a combination of punishment and tenderness that left him feeling frustrated but unable to vent his anger.

He felt even more wronged, and the corners of his eyes turned slightly red.

Sylvia maintained a serious expression, her voice firm as she lectured him. “That’s not acceptable either! Did I use it to scare you? What if my heart can’t handle it, and your sudden fierceness scares me so much that I faint? Moreover, isn’t a wife supposed to be cherished and protected?”
