Taking Back What My Sister Stole novel Chapter 176

Chapter 176

“Alright.”

Wesley arranged dinner.

After dinner, Bruce went with them to the funeral home to pay respects.

The funeral home was cold and quiet. Claude and Larissa were burning paper money for Bonnie, looking every bit the dutiful children and grandchildren.

Tania was dozing off to the side.

After paying his respects, Bruce left by car.

Luciano came to pick up Noah and comforted Cecilia for a long time.

The two of them spoke in low voices for a while.

Claude asked his sister, “Since/Priscilla is a fake, what about that child?”

Larissa lowered her voice, “I think he’s Priscilla’s.”

Because the child had nothing to do with Cecilia, but when Cecilia was still Priscilla, she claimed to be the child’s biological mother.

So the child’s real mother was most likely Priscilla, who had died three

years ago.

Claude frowned, his eyes full of disgust. “So she really was pregnant out of wedlock, with no sense of propriety.”

Larissa also felt ashamed. “She probably learned it from Cecilia. I went to ask around–when Cecilia was at the orphanage, she was always causing trouble, stealing and fighting for food, and she was even…”

She covered her mouth and didn’t continue.

In short, Cecilia was not a good person.

She changed to a softer tone. “Claud.”

Claude was equally grateful. “Thank you for taking care of Larissa while I was away.”

“Wes, Dad’s health isn’t good. I want to stay.”

He didn’t want to leave.

At this moment, everything was in his favor.

He had a reason to stay.

Larissa bit her lip and pleaded, “Dad is sick, and there are so many things at the company that only you can handle, Claud.”

She glanced at Cecilia not far away and whispered, “Wes, if she doesn’t agree, I’ll go and beg her.”

As she spoke, she was about to go over.

Wesley’s gaze turned sharp.

Larissa stopped in her tracks, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Claude gritted his teeth. “Wes, she’s an impostor, not the real Priscilla.”

Wesley narrowed his eyes. “So what?”

Claude couldn’t say another word.

Because anyone could see that, whether Cecilia was Priscilla or not, Wesley cared about the person, not the identity.

Claude didn’t want to upset Wesley over this, so he returned to his

own concerns.

“Wes, you’ve seen the situation at home. I really can’t rest easy.”

Dillon was still in the hospital.

And the situation online was still escalating.

This was a huge blow to the Wilburn family.

If they couldn’t get through this crisis, they would go bankrupt.

But getting through it would be very difficult.

Claude didn’t have the ability to do it.

Wesley did not make the decision on his own; instead, he left the choice to Cecilia.

Cecilia said little, only setting a condition: if Claude wanted to stay, then she would take Bonnie’s ashes with her.

Dillon agreed.

Exchanging a useless urn of ashes for the return of his son–no matter how you looked at it, it was worth it.

After the funeral, Wesley took Cecilia back to Chaston Villa, planning to deal with his piled–up work before sending Bonnie back to Baritel.

But Cecilia couldn’t wait even a moment. She contacted Luciano and arranged a car that very day, hurrying back to Baritel.

Luciano brought Noah along.

By the time Wesley found out, Cecilia had already been gone for half an hour.

Wesley stood in front of the floor–to–ceiling window for a long time.

He knew that Cecilia no longer held him in her heart.

But he couldn’t let go.

“Have someone follow her. Make sure she doesn’t notice.” Wesley instructed.

Elijah quickly replied, “It’s already arranged.”

“Forget it. Get the car ready. I’ll go myself.”

He wanted to bring her back himself.

The house in Baritel was still there, left to Cecilia according to

Bonnie’s will.

Looking at the familiar appearance of the home, Cecilia felt a sharp pain in her chest. She had never imagined that in just a few short months, everything would have changed so completely

She broke down in tears, letting herself ery her heart out.

Afterwards, she took Bonnie’s ashes to the cemetery outside town to be laid to rest

Bonnie’s grave had long been arranged by herself, right next to Priscilla’s.

Luciano looked at the face of the young girl on the tombstone, his mind still a blank

Yet his chest felt unbearably tight.

His memories were gone, but his feelings could not be wrong.

He knew very well that in the memories he had lost, there had been someone he loved deeply.

He had Noah bow his head in respect.

Next to Priscilla’s tombstone was Ms. Wilkinson from the flower shop.

There was no photo on her tombstone.

It simply bore the words: Teacher Ms. Wilkinson.

It looked rather lonely.
