Taking Back What My Sister Stole novel Chapter 299

Chapter299

Larissa sneered. “Cecilia, Corrine is dead. You killed her.”

“I said shut up.”

Wesley’s expression darkened, his gaze turning hostile.

But Larissa didn’t flinch.

She wanted Cecilia to drown in guilt for the rest of her life, to never escape it.

“Cecilia, she did it for you-”

??“Larissa.”

“Let her speak.”

Cecilia practically roared those three words.

She had no strength left.

“When they took us away, I heard Holden tell her to kill Johan, or he’d kill you.”

Larissa took a deep breath. “For you, she drove a knife into Johan’s chest. Cecilia, she died because of you.”

“What right do you have to question me? You’re the one who got her killed.”

“She died for you.”

“You’re lying.”

Cecilia’s legs gave way.

Her Corrine. How could this be.

“Then why? She was already safe. Why kill Johan?”

Larissa closed in, eyes locked on Cecilia’s. “I pushed her, but from that spot, she shouldn’t have fallen straight into the river.”

“She killed the one she loved most for you. The pain was too much.

She wanted to die, so she threw herself into that river.”

“She chose That’s not on me.”

Cecilia’s mind spun into chaos. Her nails dug deep into her palms, nearly drawing blood.

Was it

Had she killed Corrine?

Was she. the murderer.

Watching Cecilia unravel, Larissa savored the bitter triumph.

Break down, Cecilia. Shatter completely.

“Larissa.”

Wesley’s icy voice cut through the air beside her. “Do my words mean nothing to you?”

Larissa swallowed back the words she’d meant to provoke Cecilia with, not daring to speak them.

Her eyes reddened as tears fell. “Brother, I know you care for her, but Johan is innocent. Corrine is innocent too.”

“If Johan… if Johan…” Her voice hitched, one hand pressed painfully against her chest. “If he’s gone… what will become of me?”

Wesley found he couldn’t voice any more reproaches.

Whether Corrine had been shoved into the river by Larissa or had fallen in herself still needed investigation.

Larissa lowered her gaze to her own palms. Her left hand clenched over her right–that hand still trembling faintly.

Not from fear, but from exhilaration.

Holden is dead.

Johan is dead.

As Johan’s lawful wife, Larissa has a share in that huge company.

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, her gaze toward the operating room tinged with malice.

Johan had better die in there.

Hurried footsteps approached, accompanied by Juniper’s urgent voice: “What happened?”

She still knew nothing.

It wasn’t until a lawyer came with a will that she learned about the big trouble at home and rushed to the hospital.

She didn’t even know I/lolden had been swept away by the river, his whereabouts unknown, life or death uncertain.

“Juniper.”

Larissa spoke sorrowfully.

Juniper didn’t want to listen to her, instead holding Cecilia’s hands and pressing: “Tell me, what happened?”

Cecilia hated Holden, but felt sympathy for Juniper.

She was just a fiery–tempered, straightforward girl, and that truth was cruel enough for her.

But she would have to know sooner or later.

Cecilia started from her own kidnapping and ended with Holden falling into the river.

Her tone was slow and gentle, giving Juniper enough time to digest it.

“Impossible, my dad isn’t that kind of person.”

Juniper couldn’t accept it.

Her father was the best father in the world–how could he do such a thing?

Though strict with Johan, he’d always kept him close, teaching him with care. And Uncle’s family… How could Father be Uncle’s murderer?

Juniper’s world collapsed.

“There must be some misunderstanding.‘

”

She staggered backward, her body hitting the wall.

“Juniper, you must stay strong.”

Cecilia forced herself to comfort her. “Whatever happened, your father would want you to live well.”

“I… I need to find him.”

Juniper stumbled toward the exit.

Someone approached from the opposite direction.

Juniper recognized him–the company lawyer who’d always worked with her father.

“Uncle Wang.”

Tears streamed down Juniper’s face. “Is Dad… is he…”

Her voice broke into sobs.

The lawyer patted her shoulder, sighing with pity.

Holden had fled alone, yet secretly prepared an escape route and will for Juniper.

Though his body hadn’t been found, survival seemed nearly impossible
