Taking Back What My Sister Stole novel Chapter 44

Chapter44

No, Larissa wasn’t unable to understand–she just chose to ignore it, being used to putting herself at the center of everything.

The Wilburn family had spoiled her growing up, making her take it for granted that everyone should revolve around her.

But Priscilla refused to do so. She had never experienced what parental love or sisterly affection meant.

She went to the living room, glanced at Wesley, who was chatting happily with Dillon, and asked in a calm voice, “Can we go now?”

Dillon–frowned and thought Priscilla was really tactless. Couldn’t she see he was having a good conversation with Wesley?

Tania who was quick to read the room immediately said, “I’ve asked the kitchen to prepare a late–night snack. Why don’t you eat before you leave?”

Priscilla only looked at Wesley.

Wesley was already standing up. “Dad, let’s talk next time.”

Dillon immediately smiled and agreed, but then shot Priscilla a fierce glare.

Priscilla turned to leave, but at that moment, someone gave her shoulder a hard shove.

Caught off guard, she fell backward,and was about to hit the ground.

A pair of strong arms wrapped around her waist from behind, then

steadied her by the shoulders, pulling her protectively into an embrace,

“Claude, what are you doing?” Tania scolded, though her voice lacked authority.

Claude, who was furious, pointed at Priscilla’s nose and shouted, “If you don’t want to come back, then don’t! You’re not welcome in this

house.”

Priscilla had regained her balance. Glancing at Larissa behind Claude, she knew he once again stood up for Larissa.

He had always been powerless against Larissa’s tears.

Dillon was already dissatisfied with Priscilla, and now, following Claude’s lead, he scolded, “What have you done this time?”

Larissa stepped out from behind Claude. Her eyes were red and swollen, with long hair draped over her shoulders. She looked especially pitiful.

Priscilla could clearly feel that Wesley’s hand on her shoulder tightened a little.

A trace of mockery flashed in her eyes. She shifted her feet and moved her shoulder out from Wesley’s hand.

Tania walked over to Larissa and comforted her softly.

Seeing Priscilla remain silent, Dillon’s expression grew even sterner. “I’m talking to you. What did you do to bully your sister this time?”

as

Priscilla’s heart grew cold, and her voice was even colder. “Larissa, I received the invitation to Rafael’s farewell party long time ago. nothing to do with knowing Eldridge. Instead of crying here, youd be better improve your/perfumery skills, so you don’t embarrass yourself again in the future.”

This time, her words were even harsher.

It was just a minor argument but Larissa acted as if she had suffered great injustice.

Larissa leaned into Tania’s arms, sobbing softly. “Priscilla…”

Claude couldn’t bear to see his beloved sister cry and interrupted her. “Priscilla, Larissa learned her perfumery skills from Catherine. How could someone like you who grew up in the countryside possibly compare?”

His words were full of contempt for Priscilla.

They always claimed to be family but in private, they still looked down on her for growing up in the countryside.

She curled her lips in self–mockery. “Of course I can’t compare. After all, I was born to my parents but never raised by them. Let alone had the chance to learn from some master.”

It was the truth but it struck a nerve with Dillon.

Dillon flew into a rage raised his hand and swang it at Priscilla’s face.

Priscilla felt utterly hopeless.

But the slap didn’t land on Priscilla’s face–it landed on the back of Wesley’s head.

Everyone was stunned.

Tania was terrified. This was the heir to the Carlton family, and even if he was their son–in–law, he was not someone you could just lay and

“Why are you getting in the way, child?”

Priscilla stared up at Wesley in shock. She never expected that Wesley would step in to take the blow for her.

And judging by the sound, Dillon had used a lot of force with that slap.

Her eyes turned red at the corners and tears welledup in her gaze. Her lips trembled a few times, but she couldn’t get a single complete

sentence out.

Dillon came to his senses and hurriedly told the driver to take Wesley to the hospital.

Wesley was half leaning on Priscilla and felt a bit dizzy.

When they arrived at the hospital, Wesley was taken for an examination.

Priscilla stared blankly at the light above the examination room and her heart was filled with a jumble of emotions.

Back then, Wesley had clearly cared about Larissa. Wasn’t it exactly what he wanted for her to be hit?

So why did he come over?

“Priscilla.” Dillon, for once, called his daughter’s name gently. “I have something to say to you.”
