Taking Back What My Sister Stole novel Chapter 316

Chapter316

Cilla didn’t press further, quietly holding onto this kindness in her heart.

After work, she brought perfume home.

Johan was discharged today and would continue recuperating at home, so Larissa was present too.

Madam invited the second wife and Juniper for dinner.

Everyone was already seated at the dining table.

Cilla washed her hands and sat beside Gwendolyn.

The second wife remarked sarcastically: “Aren’t you busy, making elders wait for you?”

Cilla ignored her, simply kissing Gwendolyn’s cheek.

“Let’s eat,” Madam declared. “Cilla has work–being busy is good.”

The second wife scoffed dismissively.

During dinner, Madam mentioned visiting Baritel to thank Bonnie for caring for Cilla.

The second wife pursed her lips. “Cilla’s been back for days. Has she even visited her own parents?”

Cilla replied flatly: “I went before discharge.”

The second wife choked on her words.

Her eyes shifted to Larissa, and she deliberately added: “I recall Larissa’s a perfumer too. Why not start your own studio like Cilla?”

Do you feel you’re not as good as Cecilia?”

She knew Cecilia and Larissa didn’t get along, so she deliberately brought it up to stir trouble.

She did it on purpose.

Larissa felt humiliated. After all, she’d always wanted to surpass Cecilia but kept falling short.

Now Cecilia had her own studio and was Sir’s protege.

While she herself had almost nothing.

Still, she wouldn’t let anyone laugh at her.

“I’m preparing for pregnancy. Those things aren’t worth my time or energy.”

She shot back with one sentence.

Mrs. Wilkinson frowned. Preparing for pregnancy?

Lies.

She drawled mockingly, “Haven’t I heard you’re getting divorced?”

Larissa’s smile froze. She clenched her fork.

Madam glared at her second daughter–in–law. “Eat your meal.”

Mrs. Wilkinson narrowed her eyes and snorted, falling silent.

Larissa set down her bowl and chopsticks, pale–faced. “I’m full. Enjoy your meal,” she murmured, her voice barely audible.

Mrs. Wilkinson dismissed her with contempt. Pathetic.

After dinner, Cecilia took Gwendolyn to play in the small garden.

Turning around, she spotted Larissa nearby.

Cecilia averted her gaze, speaking softly to Gwendolyn as she asked how she was getting along with the third wife.

Larissa approached.

Facing Cecilia, she instinctively straightened her back and lifted her chin.

“Cecilia, was it you who said something in front of Madam?”

She could feel Madam’s dislike toward her.

Since she’d barely interacted with Madam, she couldn’t imagine anyone but Cecilia gossiping to her.

Cecilia patted Gwendolyn’s head, telling him to carry the puppy back inside.

Only after the child left did Cecilia speak. “I simply told Madam exactly what you did.”

“So it was you.”

Larissa’s expression twisted.

Her nails dug deep into her palms with vicious force.

Cecilia stared coldly at her. “Larissa, when you injured Corrine’s hand, I swore I’d take your hand. Now you’ve taken Corrine’s life–you’ll pay with yours.”

Larissa gritted her teeth. “Pay with my life?

You wouldn’t dare kill me!”

Cecilia smiled faintly. “Why would I kill you? I’ll just take everything you cherish.”

She stepped closer to Larissa, laughing in a low, mocking tone. “Starting with that Johan you’re so obsessed with.”

Cilla Wants to Collaborate with You

Larissa stood alone in the small garden for a long time.

The cold wind chilled her to the bone.

Through the bright living room window, she saw laughter and cheerful voices. Cecilia sat beside Johan, whispering something that made him gaze at her fondly.

Larissa knew with painful clarity: Cecilia had the power to steal Johan

away.

No–she’d already stolen him. Taken the only thing Larissa ever truly possessed.

Inside, Cecilia opened a gift bag and presented perfume to Madam.

A delicate fragrance bloomed in the air–elegant and refreshing.

The perfect scent for Madam.

“That’s thoughtful of you, Cilla.”

Madam beamed.

Third Madam sighed wistfully. “It smells divine Cilla, would you mind blending one for me when you’re free?”

Knowing Cecilia’s busy schedule, she kept her tone light, then added

hastily, “No rush at all!”

“Auntie, this is for you.”

Cecilia produced another bottle.

Third Madam’s eyes widened. “For me?”

“Of course. I’m grateful you’ve been looking after Ping’an for me.”

Cecilia spoke quickly, not wanting her aunt to feel burdened.

“Come now–let’s smell it!”

Madam urged.
