Taking Back What My Sister Stole novel Chapter 151

Chapter 151

“Apparently, the one who died in the fire was Ms. Wilkinson’s adopted daughter, Cecilia Zamora, who grew up in an orphanage.”

“The information we gathered also says that Cecilia was a very disobedient child from a young age. She often stole food at the

orphanage and was eventually kicked out, after which Ms. Wilkinson took her in.”

“But she never really behaved, and there was even a scandal about her getting pregnant out of wedlock.”

In a place like Baritel, getting pregnant out of wedlock was enough to make people the target of ridicule, let alone the fact that Cecilia died in a fire.

Wesley said nothing, his thoughts turning to Priscilla.

She could be considered quiet, but at times she was also stubborn, as if she always had to fight for what she believed was right.

What did that mean?

Wesley suddenly froze. Why was he comparing Priscilla to Cecilia?

He handed the documents back to Elijah. “Thank you for your hard

work.”

Upstairs, Priscilla stood at the top of the stairs, leaning against the wall, her heart feeling utterly desolate.

Once the past was brought up, it was like inviting a storm.

But she couldn’t leave with Bonnie yet–she had to wait for Noah’s

surgery.

With her eyes lowered, she quietly slipped back into the bedroom.

Downstairs, after a few seconds of thought, Wesley instructed, “Contact the previous team for me. Start preparing the wedding.”

His marriage to Priscilla had always lacked a grand wedding to announce it to the world.

He wanted to make it up to her.

Elijah quickly agreed to make the arrangements.

Priscilla hadn’t slept deeply, so the slightest movement at the edge of the bed woke her.

A body, cool to the touch, pressed up against her.

Priscilla clenched her fingers, letting the man pull her into his arms.

At seven in the morning, Priscilla woke up.

Sensing something unusual beside her, she turned her head, only for her lips to be captured in a kiss.

A lingering good morning kiss, almost out of control.

It wasn’t because Wesley restrained himself, but because Frank called.

“You brat, get to the hospital right now,” Frank said angrily.

Wesley had no choice but to reluctantly let go of that tender moment and get up to wash

It was rare for him to want a warm, peaceful morning, but it was ruined all the same.

Priscilla, thinking of Bonnie also being at the hospital and worried something might have happened, decided to go as well.

In Bonnie’s hospital room, Amelia’s sharp, caustic voice was the loudest of all.

“I was wondering why you keep coming to the hospital for no reason. Turns out you’ve got your eye on this old vixen. At your age, aren’t you ashamed?”

“And you.” Amelia scolded Bonnie, “like mother, like daughter. The old one seduces the old, the young one follows suit, can’t behave herself. Divorced and still dragging men into bed–shameless.”

Frank’s face darkened. “Shut up.”

Amelia was determined to make a scene. The thought that Wesley had rejected a wealthy heiress like Juniper for Priscilla made her furious.

If she couldn’t bully Priscilla, at least she could go after the older generation.

Bonnie’s face was grim. No matter how broad–minded she was, being scolded to her face like this made her furious.

“Enough!”

Wesley walked in, and with a single word, silenced Amelia’s endless tirade.

Priscilla had already stepped forward to hug Bonnie, soothing her in a low voice.

Amelia, feeling wronged, pointed at Bonnie and began complaining to her son

“I used to think Sir Carlton was interested in Priscilla, that’s why he

insisted on making her his god–granddaughter. Now I see, he actually has his eye on the old one.”

“If word gets out that both father and son in the Carlton family are interested in grandmother and granddaughter, what will happen to our family’s reputation?”

She had lived her whole life with dignity, and nothing mattered more to her than reputation.

This was even harder to accept than the so–called god–granddaughter business.

At least a god–granddaughter had a title, but what excuse could Bonnie possibly have?

Frank was never one to care about propriety. As Amelia made a scene, he simply said, “If that’s the case, I’ll just say it outright. I missed my chance with her when I was young, and now that I’m old, I don’t want any regrets. I want to marry her.”

He had thought about this for a long time, but Bonnie had always

refused.

Bonnie had spent most of her life with another man. Though her son was a disappointment, her husband had truly treated her well.

Even after her husband passed away, the feelings from those years remained deeply rooted in her heart.

As for Frank, he was just a passerby in her life.
