Falling for a Lie: My Stepbrother's Hidden Revenge

Chapter 150

Disappeared?

Sylvia frowned and asked, “How could someone who was perfectly fine in prison suddenly disappear?”

Fifteen shook his head, and replied, “They said she vanished during the half-hour activity tafter dinner

yesterday. It's like she evaporated into thin air, leaving no trace behind.”

“No trace?”

Sylvia chuckled and commented, “Can someone of that size simply vanish into thin air? It's impossible not to find

any clues. We must thoroughly investigate! Find out who has recently visited her cell, how long they stayed, and

examine every detail without overlooking anything!”

“Understood.”

“Wait.”

Fifteen was about to leave, but Sylvia stopped him with a grave expression and said, “Also, check all the recent

visitation records for Tim.”

“You suspect...”

Before Fifteen could finish his sentence, Sylvia's gaze turned increasingly cold.

Hopefully, she was just overthinking.

In the afternoon, heavy rain poured down relentlessly. As the day drew closer to sunset, the rain not only failed

to stop but grew even stronger. The heavy rain splattered against the window glass, dividing the once pristine

surface into numerous cracks.

The weather was ominously gloomy, as if silently conveying a message.

Sylvia stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, admiring the rain, her expression indifferent, her mind lost in

thoughts.

Fifteen spent the entire morning and afternoon investigating and only returned to report to Sylvia whe. it was

almost evening.

“Miss, | thoroughly checked all the records and found that there was only one person who visited Nancy and Tim

in the past half-month.”

Sylvia's face grew dark. “Who?”

“It’s... Eric.” Fifteen respectfully handed her the information and continued, “Moreover, not long ago, Tim also

disappeared from the prison for an hour. He claimed to have accidentally entered the freezer and was locked

inside by the staff. However...”

“However, what?”

“When he was found, he was covered in blood with numerous injuries, seemingly inflicted by whips or similar

objects... Both Tim and Eric appear to be under Mr. Fallen’s command.”

Sylvia furrowed her brow as she listened. “Why are you reporting this now?”

“Because at that time, everyone thought it was an accident, that he was mistakenly locked in the freezer due to

a grudge with a big brother from the prison. After all, he wasn’t missing, so they didn’t consider it a major

problem.”

Whips and other deadly weapons with a menacing aura don’t just appear in prisons. It was clear that

they were taken out and then returned! The implication was obvious.

Suddenly, Sylvia remembered the unusual behavior of Edgar when she returned to the Bay Villa yesterday

afternoon...

It seemed like he intentionally delayed her, afraid that she would discover Nancy's disappearance. She cross-

checked the investigation record and found that it was precisely during that tperiod that Nancy inexplicably

vanished.

Could it really be such a coincidence? When she returned to the Bay Villa, Edgar wore a face full of joy...

Was he celebrating Nancy's successful escape from prison?

Heh.

She thought he had truly repented during this period, but unfortunately, it was all to divert her attention

and facilitate Nancy's rescue, wasn't it?

Were those remarks that claimed a wrong was wrong and when something was wrong, it should be punished just

a load of bullshit in front of her? Except when it cto Nancy, right?

Unreasonable!

The more Sylvia thought about it, the angrier she became. She forcefully knocked over a stack of files on

the corner of the table, scattering them all over the floor.

With a loud crash, the room was in chaos.

“Miss...”

Fifteen had never seen her erupt like this before and took two steps back in fright.

Sylvia narrowed her cold eyes. “Return to the villa!”

To prevent her from impulsively taking the sports car in her anger, Fifteen willingly took on the role of the driver.

The heavy rain pelted against the car window, making a loud noise that was irritating to the

ears.

The anger in Sylvia's heart was not extinguished by the rain; instead, it burned hotter and hotter. Upon reaching

the villa, Fifteen was about to grab an umbrella and open the car door for her, but he saw her getting out of the

car by herself and walking straight into the garden through the rain.

Fifteen was alarmed and hurriedly caught up with her. “Miss! Use the umbrella! Don’t catch a cold!”

Inside the villa, Edgar was cooking in the kitchen when he unexpectedly heard Fifteen shout.

Checking the time, he realized that Sylvia arrived htwenty minutes earlier than usual, which made

him quite pleased. He washed his hands after chopping vegetables and cout to greet her.

Just as he stepped out, he saw her entering through the door, raindrops clinging to her body and hair.

Her delicate shoulders were completely soaked by the rain.

Edgar quickly went to the restroom to get a clean towel, and he helped her dry off.

“You didn’t bring an umbrella? Why did you cback in the rain? The weather has turned cooler

recently. Don’t catch a cold. I'll make you a bowl of ginger soup later, alright?”

Sylvia remained silent, her lips tightly pursed as she observed him. Seeing him speak with apparent concern for

her, his face neither blushing nor his heart racing, and the undisguised indulgence and

affection in his eyes...

Using affection as a guise to lower her guard and find an opportunity to save Nancy.

What a clever tactic! What great acting!

Edgar noticed that her aura was growing colder and beca little puzzled. “Sylvia, what's wrong with

you?”

Sylvia smiled with pursed lips, but her eyes were chilling.

“The fallen leaves in the garden outside are quite numerous. Go and sweep them clean

Edgar subconsciously glanced outside the window. “But it’s raining heavily outside...”

“When you finish sweeping, then you can cinside.”

Sylvia clenched her fists tightly, a raging fire burning inside her.

Eleven was called into the room by her and stood on the balcony with her, watching Edgar op the fallen leaves in

the garden.

Before Sylvia could speak, Eleven expressed sconcern. “Miss, Mr. Fallen injured his waist pesterday This rain

Sylvia stared intently at the person in the garden and sneered. “Does he look like someone with a man

“Let him stay in the rain for another hour. If he still can’t clean the leaves, then let.

The rain was pouring heavily, making it a bit difficult to see.

Although Edgar kept his head down, he could feel that he was being stared at continuously, and it went on for a

long time.

It should be Sylvia. But today, she felt so unfamiliar to him-colder than ever before.

Could it be that she found out about him getting rid of Adrain? Lost in his thoughts, he unknowingly spent an

hour sweeping the fallen leaves outside.

It was only when Eleven cout and called him to Sylvia's room to talk that he snapped back to reality and

returned the broom to the backyard.

Before entering the house, he paused.

He was too wet, dripping water all over, and he didn’t want to dirty the freshly mopped floor or Sylvia's

room.

So he chose to stand at the doorway, wringing the water from his clothes and pants before entering. He used the

towel that had just been used to wipe Sylvia's clothes at the doorway to quickly dry his hair.

He looked as if he had just taken a shower, with neat and clean short hair and a white shirt clinging to his body,

revealing well-toned abdominal muscles. However, because he had been soaked in the rain, his lips were slightly

pale, giving him a sickly and fragile appearance.

Eleven stood silently beside him, watching. Seeing him meticulously groom every detail of his appearance, he

couldn't help but sigh softly.

He probably didn’t know what awaited him for a wh
