Taking Back What My Sister Stole novel Chapter 295

Chapter295

Wesley massaged his temples. “I’ve got her situation handled. Please stay out of it.”

Though displeased, Amelia held her tongue.

During Wesley’s hospitalization, Cecilia appeared daily like clockwork but left immediately–never once inquiring about his treatment or recovery.

With the production line operational, she spent most days at her studio.

Two weeks later, Cecilia emerged from her studio into the bitter autumn wind, the clock striking eight or nine in the evening.

She pulled her coat tighter, approaching her car.

The moment the car door shut, something cold pressed against her neck.

“Ms. Zamora, you’re coming with us.”

Cecilia’s fingers abruptly tightened on the steering wheel. “Who are you?”

The man’s voice was gravelly as he uttered an icy address.

Cecilia’s mind raced, searching for a solution.

A sharp sting pierced her neck as the man pressed the knife forward threateningly.

Cecilia had no choice but to start the car and drive off.

An hour later, the car stopped before a derelict villa.

“Get out.”

The man commanded.

Planning to bolt the moment she exited with the man behind her, Cecilia froze as several black–clad men materialized around her the

instant she moved.

She was then dragged and locked inside a pitch–black room.

From start to finish, no one spoke, let alone explained why she’d been brought here.

Cecilia’s heart pounded, uncertain whether they were after her money or her life.

She shifted slightly, and a faint voice came from a corner not far away, “Who’s there?”

Cecilia paused, then swiftly recognized it, “Corrine?”

“Cilla?”

Corrine sounded equally shocked, “How are you here?”

They groped toward each other in the darkness and clung together.

Cecilia asked what had happened.

Corrine replied, “I don’t know. I was drugged and brought here, just woke up.”

“Why would they kidnap even you?”

Corrine had suspected Larissa was behind this. Ever since learning Corrine had returned to the Johnson family, Larissa had held a grudge

against her, reportedly arguing constantly with Johan.

But now that Cecilia had been brought here, it wasn’t Larissa.

Cecilia gripped Corrine’s hand, uneasy. “What do these people want?”

After what felt like ages, the door swung open again.

A woman was shoved inside. She screamed, trying to rush out, only to be thrown to the ground before the door slammed shut once more.

Cecilia and Corrine saw clearly–the person pushed in was Larissa.

Unaware of the other two, Larissa pounded on the door, demanding to be released.

She even shouted about her connections with Johan and Wesley, attempting to negotiate.

But no one outside responded.

Corrine grew irritated and snapped, “Can you shut up?”

Larissa froze. “Corrine?”

Corrine rolled her eyes in the darkness. “Stop wailing.”

Larissa sniffled quietly. “Why are you here?”

Perhaps the pitch–dark environment bred fear, for Larissa’s hatred toward Corrine seemed to fade.

“Who are they?

What do they want?”

Corrine stayed silent, unwilling to engage.

Cecilia spoke coolly, “Save your energy. Be quiet.”

“Cecilia, you too…” Despair washed over Larissa.

Time passed indeterminably before the door creaked open again.

This time, all three women were blindfolded and dragged outside.

Stumbling for over half an hour, they heard the roar of rushing water nearby.

Then, light flooded their vision.

Cecilia swiftly scanned the surroundings, confirming a river flowed not far ahead.

The river was wide. The current was swift.

Corrine and Larissa stood side by side, at least fifty meters away from

her.

Cecilia had been concealed.

Holden watched the river with a venomous gaze, seemingly awaiting something.

The rumble of a cargo ship echoed from the waterway.

Holden exhaled in relief.

But before tension fully eased, Johan’s voice cut through from behind.

“Holden, release them.”

Johan and his men encircled the area.

Holden narrowed his eyes into a sinister smile. “Raised an exemplary nephew, I see. Three years I trained you, yet you ally with outsiders

against me. Johan, you’re utterly heartless and ungrateful.”

Johan remained composed. “You orchestrated my parents‘ car accident, didn’t you? A murderer who destroyed my family has no right to speak of ‘training‘.”

Holden’s eyes narrowed further. “So you knew all along.”

He felt no remorse for what he’d done back then. After all, this world operated on survival of the fittest–his elder brother and sister–in–law had simply been dealt a short hand.
