Chapter 2The Silent Treatment: Catfishing the CEO

After sitting back down.

I silently pulled out my phone and started looking for flights out tonight.

I needed to escape.

Before I could even pick a time.

I suddenly heard my brother, mid-conversation, casually ask: "Mr. Sterling, you're getting married soon, right? When are you going to introduce your fiancée to us?"

My eyelid twitched.

My brother was really leading me to the slaughter.

Liam didn't answer immediately.

He lightly swirled the wine in his glass.

After a long moment, he lifted his eyelids, his gaze sweeping coolly over my custom, figure-hugging pencil skirt.

He let out another cold scoff: "They're asking you. Have you not played mute enough after pretending for two years?"

The entire room instantly fell silent.

My brother: ?

My brother definitely hadn't expected this.

The rumored fiancée—the one with a tragic background, a gambling brother, an abusive father, and a sick mother, the mute girl who was exceptionally favored by the Crown Prince...

Was actually his own sister.
