Falling for a Lie: My Stepbrother's Hidden Revenge

Chapter 248

Upon hearing her eldest brother's furious roar, Sylvia's face turned pale with fright.

Oh no! It's over! | should have controlled myself!

Now things are going to get out of hand!

Eder remained silent, standing tall and proud, his deep eyes showing no hint of fear. There was even a touch of

arrogance, as if saying, “I won't repent, and I'll do it again next time.”

In Chris's eyes, his demeanor was nothing but a provocation.

Chris's anger soared, and he was about to pull the trigger.

“No, no, no! Brother, you've got it all wrong! It was me, me... | slept with him!”

Sylvia's trembling lips struggled to speak, her embarrassment causing her toes to curl.

Compared to Eder’s life, her reputation mattered more, of course!

“If you don’t believe me, you can look at his neck. It was me... | couldn’t control myself...

As she spoke, her voice grew quieter, and she covered her face in shame. Her entire face, from cheeks to

neck, was burning red.

The air suddenly becquiet, and the atmosphere beceerie.

Sylvia tightly covered her face, wishing she could dig a hole and hide in it.

Now she had no face to see anyone! Her scandalous affair in the hospital was not only known by the people of

the sgeneration, but also her older brother and even her sister-in-law!

Ah, ah, ah! She couldn't face anyone!

Her heart was in turmoil, and suddenly her right ear was firmly twisted by a pair of large hands.

The grip was so tight that it seemed to add another shade of red to her already flushed ear.

“Ouch! It hurts! Brother, we're in public!” Both Eder and Eric are still watching,” Can you givesface...”

Chris's anger was about to explode. “Well done, Sylvia! You have really brought honor to our family. Should |

praise you for that?”

“No need for praise. I'm very humble!” Just please go easy on the beating.

“Hmph, still cheeky?”

Chris’s gaze becdangerous, and he let go of her ear. Instead, he grabbed the back of her neck as if holding

a little chick.

“Let's go home! Now you can mourn for your legs for the last three minutes!”

Sylvia covered her face, feeling like crying but having no tears.

Chris was really angry. Would she be beaten to death when they got home?

Chris was full of coldness as he turned and walked towards the car. However, someone grabbed his wrist

from behind.

Eder narrowed his black eyes, his gaze cold. “Chris, Sylvia is an adult. She has the right to choose what she

wants to do. Besides, she is my fiancee. Whatever she does, there is nothing inappropriate about it.”

“I don’t need outsiders to meddle in how | discipline my sister!”

Chris stared at him mockingly. “I’ve heard that the discipline in the Grant family is strict, but | never expected it

to produce such a descendant who doesn’t know how to behave. Don’t think | don’t know that you tempted and

deceived her! After | break her legs, it'll be your turn!”

The two men locked eyes, sparks flying, and the tension thickened.

Chris tried to walk away, but Eder held his wrist tightly, refusing to budge.

Chris’s anger surged, and he let go of Sylvia, quickly striking Eder with a palm.

He put all his strength into it, and Eder didn’t retaliate. The palm landed squarely on his chest.

Eder let out a muffled groan, stumbling several steps back. His face turned pale, and his chest was in

excruciating pain. Chris's blow also aggravated his gunshot wound.

A metallic and sweet taste surged up, and he tried to swallow it back but couldn’t hold it in. Crimson blood

trickled down from his lips.

“Eder!” Sylvia immediately rushed forward to support him, seeing him coughing up blood. She realized how hard

her eldest brother had hit him and her eyes turned red with worry.

“Chris! He was shot yesterday and was seriously injured. He just had surgery. How could you hit him!”

Chris looked at his own hand, then at Eder, who was in extrpain, his face extremely weak. Clearly, he wasn’t

pretending. He felt a little guilty. “I thought he would fight back...”

He knew Eder was skilled and could hold his own against him in a fight. But he didn’t expect that Eder wouldn't

dodge this time.

After recovering from the pain, Eder protected Sylvia in his arms, taking a deep breath. “Chris, | am Sylvia's

fiance. | have endured the punishment on her behalf. Is this blow enough? If not, | can offer you my legs.”

“No! Eder...” Sylvia's eyes were filled with warmth as tears streamed down her face. She looked up at him with

aching eyes.

He smiled bitterly and wiped away the tears from her face with trembling fingertips.

It really hurt. He could barely hold on.

“Sylvia, hold me...”

Sylvia reached out and embraced him. He arched his back and weakly shrunk into her embrace, resting

his head on her slender shoulder and quietly adjusting his breathing.

Chris stared at the affectionate couple, his expression still deep and solemn.

But when he saw his younger sister crying, he couldn’t speak for a moment.

Laura let out a soft sigh and stepped forward, saying, “Alright, it’s already this day and age. Since they're

engaged, does it really matter whether they have slept together or not? It’s rare for Eder to suffer for her,

so don’t meddle in between them.”

He turned his head and glanced at his own wife. Why wasn’t she speaking up for him?

So, he had becthe only villain here?

He looked again at his younger sister and Eder.

One was crying miserably, the other was even more severely injured.

How did it feel like a bitter of him separating a loving couple?

And he was the antagonist....

Chris sighed heavily. “Let it go this time. Since he’s injured, both of you behave and listen toduring

this time, understand?”

“I understand,” Sylvia pouted with a face full of grievances.

Chris softened his tone. “Take him back to check if his wound has reopened, but he’s not allowed to stay

overnight at Ji’s house. He must go home, got it?”

Sylvia felt happy, her tears were not shed in vain. “Thank you, Chris.”

“Mm.” Chris withdrew his gaze and turned to leave.

Laura quickly ran to Sylvia's side and whispered, “Your big brother may be tough on the outside, but he’s softest

towards you. Don’t be mad at him, okay?”

“Let’s go!” Chris's dissatisfied voice cfrom ahead.

“I'm coming!”

Laura comforted Sylvia by patting her shoulder and then turned to look at Eder approvingly. She turned around

and ran back to Chris's side.

Once their cars were completely out of sight, Sylvia immediately checked Eder’s condition.

“Does it hurt a lot? Can you still walk? Otherwise, should | ask Eric to carry you to the car?”

Eric vigorously nodded, his heart already in a mess!

Dr. Mark just said he couldn’t get injured again, but as soon as they left the lab, their boss got beaten up again.

He quickly stepped forward, ready to shoulder the burden.

Eder ignored him, lifted his pale and handsface, and cunningly looked at Sylvia. “Actually, when your

brother made his move just now, | quietly stepped back half an inch. | wasn’t seriously pretended. Don’t worry.”

“Really? Don’t lie to me.”

“I'd be a dog if I lied to you.”

Sylvia chuckled, “Then you should be called Dr. dog in the future! Or Grant Dog!”
