Taking Back What My Sister Stole novel Chapter 53

Chapter53

Raelynn worked in PR and had good relationships with several marketing accounts, so she knew it before the news spread online.

Priscilla gripped her phone tightly and felt so shocked that she forgot to breathe.

A sharp pain shot through her chest, and her whole body trembled.

She steadied herself against the table, barely to stand. “Is the news true?”

Raelynn sighed and lowered her voice: “Mr. Carlton offered a high price. The ones I’m close to agreed not to take the job, but there are other accounts who will do anything for money.”

“You should contact Mr. Carlton and try to soften your stance so as not to let this blow up. It won’t be good for you.”

“Okay… thank you…” Priscilla’s face was deathly pale, and she was on the verge of collapse.

After hanging up, the phone slipped from her hand.

She no longer had the strength to support herself and collapsed to the floor.

For Larissa’s sake, Wesley was pushing her out as a shield.

She could almost imagine how many stories netizens would spin out of the phrase ‘childhood sweethearts.”

She would go from being the victim to the culprit who destroyed their

relationship

“Wesley…” she murmured his name and her voice was full of anguish

She picked up the phone and dialed Wesley’s number, but it was Larissa who answered.

“Priscilla…”

Priscilla hung up immediately.

Tears slid down from her face.

Three years of marriage could not compare to a childhood sweetheart.

He could have just divorced her, but instead he insisted on trampling her to lift up the woman he loved.

He was so cruel and so heartless…

Information flooded from all directions.

Priscilla sat on the hospital bed and watched the TV interview about Larissa.

Larissa was dressed in a white business suit and her long black hair was newly permed into soft curls.

Her whole demeanor radiated a bright and lively energy.

Faced with the reporter’s/sharp questions, she paused to think before replying, “Priscilla and Wes are already married. There’s no need to bring up the past. We don’t want to take up too much public attention. Please focus on our soon–to–be–released perfume.”

Her words were flawless.

Yet they confirmed the rumor that Priscilla had come between her and

Wesley.

The more netizens had pilied Priscilla before, the angrier they we

now.

All of Priscilla’s information was dug up, and her every account o flooded with insults and abuse.

Even Bonnie was dragged into it, with people blaming her for Priscilla’s character, saying the elderly Bonnie had failed in her duty ter raise Priscilla properly.

Even though she had mentally prepared herself, Priscilla was still shaking with anger.

Bonnie was the best grandmother in the world, and Priscilla couldn’t stand anyone slandering her like this.

She logged into her public account and intended to reveal the truth about their marriage three years ago.

It wasn’t that she had interfered in their relationship, but that Larissa had abandoned Wesley and run away from the wedding

She was merely a pawn used by the Wilburn family to solidify their alliance.

But the message was not sent.

Wesley arrived. The first thing he did upon entering the hospital room was to take her phone. Seeing the unsent message on the screen, he gave out a sigh of relief

It was so obvious.

He turned off the phone and put it in his own pocket before finally looking at Priscilla. “Priscilla, I’ll keep your phone for now

Priscilla stared at him expressionlessly and held out her hand live in

to me

Wesley raised his hand and gripped her palm fightly and his Adam’s apple bobbed as he coaxed her softly. “Priscilla, let’s not look at those things online, okay?”

A flash of mockery crossed Priscilla’s eyes. She pulled her hand free from his grasp and her eyes gradually reddened

Filled with hatred.

“Wesley, why?” She stared hard at her husband. Her voice was hourse and desperate as she demanded an answer.

She wanted an answer.

Clearly, he and Larissa were photographed by reporters, yet in the end. she was pushed into the spotlight.

In his eyes, did she serve as a shield for Larissa?

“Priscilla, I know you’ve been wronged. I’ll make it up to you.”

Wesley pulled her into his arms with force, as if he wanted to merge her into his very bones.

Priscilla struggled and pounded at him with her fists.but Wesley refused to let her go.

In the end, she broke down and sobbed in his embrace.

Wesley looked up with his red eyes.

Wesley brought Priscilla back to Chaston Villa.

He still didn’t return her phone.

Wesley carefully settled Priscilla on the sofa in the study
