Taking Back What My Sister Stole novel Chapter 58

Chapter 58

“Wait” Priscilla suddenly spoke.

Wesley turned around in surprise, only to meet her indifferent face. “Priscilla.”

“Give me my phone.” She reached out expressionlessly

Wesley pressed his lips together and handed the phone back to her.

Priscilla took it without sparing him another glance.

Wesley stood there for half a minute and then quietly left the room.

Priscilla turned on her phone, and countless messages popped up. causing it to freeze for several minutes before returning to normal.

She deleted them with one click but only replied to Eldridge.

Eldridge called immediately. “Are you alright?”

Priscilla asked quietly, “You mentioned before that you could introduce a really good divorce lawyer to me Can you send me his contact information?”

Eldridge was silent for two seconds before asking, “Are you sure?”

“Yeah.”

Priscilla lowered her eyes and her long lashes cast shadows on her checks.

Just as Claude had said, she was only there to fill a spot. Now that the real one had returned, it was only natural for her to step asid

Chapter 58

As for whether Wesley would agree, it would depend on the lawyers abilities.

“Alright, I’ll send it to you.” Eldridge sent over a business card on WhatsApp.

“His surname is Wilkinson and he’s currently abroad but he’ll be back soon.” Eldridge introduced the lawyer. “You can tell him about your situation.”

Priscilla hesitated. “If he knows the divorce is with Wesley, will he take the case?”

Lawyers in Aetherton would usually refuse as soon as they heard Wesley’s name.

The lawyer who had previously drafted the divorce agreement had even deleted her contact information.

She didn’t want to waste any more time or energy.

Eldridge reassured her. “He’s handled many high–profile divorce cases. I’ll help you too. Don’t worry.”

Priscilla felt relieved, added the lawyer on WhatsApp, and waited for his approval.

Priscilla spent the whole night leaning over the bedside.

The next morning, she was awakened by a strange sensation on her face.

Bonnie gently stroked her cheek with pity: “Cilla.”

Priscilla instantly became fully awake and all her exhaustion was replaced by joy.

“Grandma, you’re finally awake”

Her eyes turned red as she gripped Bonnie’s hand tightly, refusing to let go.

“I made you worry.” Tears shimmered in Bonnie’s cloudy eyes.

She recalled the words she had overheard yesterday, and a wave of grief washed over her heart.

Cilla had been pregnant, but the child was gone…

As a grandmother, she hadn’t known it.

Priscilla’s face was pale, she could no longer hide it, so she simply told the truth about the child.

Because her pregnancy was unstable, the doctor had specifically warned her to be careful. So when she first found out, she didn’t dare to tell Bonnie, fearing that the old lady would be disappointed.

Later, when Larissa returned, she and Wesley often quarreled. Several times, she was so upset that her stomach hurt, so she became even more reluctant to say anything.

And then, after the accident, there was no need to say anything at all.

“How did you lose the baby?” Bonnie asked in a trembling voice.

Tears shimmered in Priscilla’s eyes as she forced herself to suppress her grief. “It was raining and the road was slippery. I wasn’t careful and fell.”

She didn’t want to speak of those dirty matters and make Bonnie even sadder.

Bonnie’s heart ached as she patted her granddaughter’s hand. “It’s my

fault for dragging you into this. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have agreed to marry Wesley.”

She had heard everything Claude said.

She had thought Priscilla and Wesley were in love, but it turned out that Wesley still liked Larissa.

In this ill–fated relationship, Priscilla was completely innocent.

“Grandma, I don’t regret.” Priscilla tried to comfort her, but the more she spoke, the more her tears fell continuously.

She didn’t want Bonnie to be sad for her; so she quickly got up and went to the bathroom. “I’ll go to wash my face.”

Bonnie let out a heavy sigh.

While Priscilla was washing her face, Dillon and his wife arrived with Larissa.

She really didn’t want to see them, so she stopped by the door and didn’t go out.

Bonnie was furious.

“When Cilla was born, you didn’t care and left her to me. When she grew up, you schemed about her marriage, using my name to force her. Now that her marriage is stable, you let Larissa torment her. Do you really think I’m dead?”

“Now I just want Larissa to live in the countryside with me for a while, and you complain that she can’t handle it. Oh, is she made of gold?”

“Mom, please don’t get angry.” Dillon hurried to calm her down, just hoping Bonnie would lower her voice so others wouldn’t hear.

It was a bit embarrassing.
