Chapter 15
Walking into the hall with large strides, Edgar helped Nancy up.
Then, he looked at Sylvia disappointedly and viciously, saying, “I thought you would restrain yourself after the divorce. I didn’t expect you to be so despicable. You disgust me! I planned to give you this villa
and put it in your name, but now it seems I don’t have to do so.”
“Edgar, don’t blame Sylvia. I infuriated her, so she pushed me accidentally. It’s all my fault. Please scold
me.”
Leaning weakly in his arms, Nancy looked guilty and sobbed pitifully, but when she glanced at Sylvia out of the corner of her eye, there was a hint of victory in her eyes.
Looking indifferent, Edgar said to Sylvia in a commanding tone, “Apologize to Nan immediately!”
Sylvia thought, “Tsk, he wants me to apologize?”
She was a little angry.
Seeing the two of them all lovey–dovey, Sylvia looked them up and down, smiled, and gently pulled
Nancy, who was in Edgar’s arms.
Edgar thought that Sylvia would be angry and argue with him. He didn’t expect her to be smiling.
Looking at her suspiciously, Nancy couldn’t figure out what Sylvia was trying to do. She let Sylvia pull her up and then stood in front of her without any resistance for a moment.
“Smack!”
“Oww!”
Screaming more shrilly, Nancy covered her swollen face and fell firmly to the ground.
Sylvia had slapped Nancy with all her strength, and her palm was a little numb. It could be seen that
Nancy was in great pain because of the ferocity of the slap.
Smiling faintly, Sylvia was surprisingly calm. She acted like she wasn’t the one who had just slapped
Nancy.
She looked down at Nancy on the ground and said gently, “Since you said that I bullied you, how can my evil deeds be solidified if I don’t slap you?”
Tears welled up in Nancy’s eyes as she sat weakly on the ground, sobbing softly.

Chapter 15
Edgar didn’t expect that Sylvia would hit Nancy in front of him, so he forgot to hold onto Nancy for a
moment.
Looking gloomy, he glared at Sylvia threateningly and said, “Not only did you not apologize, but you even made things worse! Are you testing my bottom line?”
“You’re overthinking, Mr. Fallen.”
Waving her hand repeatedly, Sylvia smiled more brightly.
“After all, we were once a couple. Before I leave, I’ll give you another grand gift!”
As she spoke, she took out a thick stack of copies from her bag before throwing them at his face.
The snow–white paper flew all through the air.
Edgar picked up one copy conveniently and saw text records on it, which were all full of sarcastic and insulting words. The sender sounded arrogant. As he silently read the number without any name, he was suddenly a little shocked.
When he flipped to the back, it showed evidence that he had been drugged last night. The clues were all solid, which showed that Nancy was the culprit.
Frowning, he looked intimidatingly at Nancy, who was lying on the ground.
Nancy had just finished reading the contents of the paper, and her face was pale.
It was true that she had asked someone to put the drug in his wine, and she had called him, asking him to find her at the hotel. However, she didn’t expect that the driver would send him back to the villa by accident and let Sylvia take advantage of it!
She was so angry that she wanted to send Sylvia a text message to mock her.
To her surprise, Sylvia dared to confront her head–on this time.
She wondered what Edgar would think of her.
Before she could defend herself, Sylvia picked up her packed suitcase and looked at Edgar, the man she had once loved sincerely, for the last time before leaving.
“Edgar, remember, it’s not me who was abandoned after the divorce. It’s you! It’s me who abandoned you, and the Fallen family doesn’t deserve me!”
