Taking Back What My Sister Stole novel Chapter 165

Chapter 165

Luciano looked utterly defeated. He had not a single memory of the

past.

“She was the gentlest person I’ve ever met in my life. Her greatest wish was to create the world’s finest perfume and make the name Priscilla known everywhere.”

Cecilia was lost in her memories, a gentle smile on her lips.

“She was very talented at perfumery. Her teacher adored her, almost treating her as an heir and teaching her everything.”

“Later, she met you and was drawn to your gentleness. Even after discovering her unexpected pregnancy, she was willing to give birth to Noah for you.”

Luciano’s hands trembled slightly. “Then why did I leave?”

Cecilia shook her head. “I don’t know.”

She had asked Priscilla, but Priscilla wouldn’t say. During that time, she was always depressed and withdrawn.

“And then the accident happened?” Luciano asked.

Cecilia fell silent, her eyes glistening with tears.

“That night, the fire broke out suddenly. The teacher was gravely ill at the time, had taken medicine, and was in a deep sleep. I couldn’t carry her.”

“She appeared suddenly, and together we dragged the teacher to the

front hall. When we reached the door, a flower stand suddenly collapsed. She pushed me out of the way, and she and the teacher were trapped underneath it.”

“The teacher was burned to death, and she was severely injured.. Before she died, the only thing she worried about was Noah.”

In Cecilia’s mind, it was as if she could still see that raging fire.

The flames roared, devouring all life.

Priscilla could have escaped then, but she gave Cecilia the chance to live.

“Do you know why she saved you? That’s very important for your defense against the murder charge,” Luciano said.

He was a lawyer and knew what would be most beneficial for his client.

Cecilia looked up at the light above her, pain filling her voice.

“Because at that time, she had been diagnosed with leukemia.”

Priscilla’s life was a gray one.

Abandoned by her parents.

Abandoned by her lover.

Diagnosed with illness.

In the end, she was crushed by fate.

Cecilia looked up, her chest aching so much she could hardly breathe.

She couldn’t understand why God had arranged such a tragic life for Priscilla.

Why all the suffering in the world had to be heaped upon her alone.

At first, when Cecilia decided to assume Priscilla’s identity, it was to make the perfume they had developed famous throughout the world.

She wanted to provide for Bonnie in her old age.

She also wanted to see for herself just how cold and heartless the family Priscilla had talked about all her life really was.

Later, by a twist of fate, she ended up staying with the Wilburn family.

Now, three years had passed, and she had become Cecilia again.

Luciano digested the news and quickly regained his composure.

“I will get you out on bail as soon as possible.”

After the fire three years ago, the police had already investigated and determined it was caused by old wiring.

As for Cecilia assuming the identity of the deceased, as long as it didn’t involve a death or using the identity to commit a crime, at worst, it was a moral issue.

What mattered now was public opinion.

The Wilburn family had hired a large number of internet trolls to spread rumors, painting Cecilia as a murderer and an identity thief.

Now, Cecilia was being condemned by everyone.

Cecilia had experienced online abuse before; she didn’t care.

She only gave Luciano one instruction.

“Don’t let Dillon off the hook.”

Luciano looked grief–stricken; for the first time, he deeply hated his own amnesia.

He calmed himself and told Cecilia. “Wesley is already on the plane back.”

Cecilia lowered her eyes, looking at the square, confining cell, her voice barely audible: “He and I are already people from two different worlds.”

She guessed that when he returned, he would be eager to issue a statement declaring he had nothing to do with her.

It was just a pity that he had recognized Larissa as his sister a little too

soon.

Otherwise, they could have been husband and wife.

Luciano fell silent; the Carlton Group was in a state of utter chaos.

After all, the founder of the Holiday Series perfume was Cecilia.

A murderer and an identity thief–this double stigma was enough to destroy a brand.

The more glorious the Holiday Series perfume once was, the more miserable it was now.

“Let it be ruined,” Cecilia murmured. That was Priscilla’s hard work.

She thought, Priscilla wouldn’t want Larissa to benefit from it either.

After Luciano left, Cecilia sat alone for a long time.

Unknowingly, another night passed.

Her complexion was especially poor, her head heavy and muddled.
