Taking Back What My Sister Stole novel Chapter 70

Chapter 70

A sense of unease rose in Priscilla’s heart, and she hurried into

the office.

The work area instantly became noisy.

“I really didn’t expect Ms. Wilburn to be that kind of person.”

“Did she really do it?”

“If it wasn’t her, would the police be here?”

“How could this happen?”

“What did you say?”

“The formula was leaked?”

“Impossible.”

Priscilla’s face turned pale, and she felt the blood in her body run cold.

Early this morning, a rival company suddenly released their latest perfume, and the formula was almost identical to the Holiday Series fragrance that the Carlton Group was about to launch.

The Carlton Group immediately called the police, and in the end, Priscilla became the prime suspect for leaking the formula.

“It wasn’t me. I’ve been in the lab these past two days, I

haven’t even left,” Priscilla explained.

“There’s surveillance footage from the lab to prove it.”

At that moment, the office door was pushed open with a loud click.

Larissa hurried in, her voice unusually loud.

“Priscilla, I heard you sold the perfume formula to our rival company?”

“I know you don’t like me, but you can’t do something like this just to get back at me.”

“What about Wes?”

With just a few words, Larissa had already given Priscilla a motive and pronounced her guilty.

And since the office door was open, everyone outside could hear everything clearly.

Priscilla shot her a cold glance. “Do you have any proof?”

Larissa shrank her shoulders, taking a frightened step back.

“I’m sorry, Priscilla, I didn’t mean to say that, I was just

anxious,”

She put on a perfect act of being afraid.

Priscilla had no time for her theatrics. She only said to Wesley,

“I told you, I didn’t do it.”

Wesley walked over and took her trembling fingers in his. “The police will find out the truth.”

A chill settled in Priscilla’s eyes.

“You don’t believe me?”

Of course, if he believed her, he wouldn’t have brought the police with him.

She recalled the words he said at Baritel that day, asking for another chance.

If there wasn’t even trust, what was the point of talking about marriage?

“Wesley, do you trust me?” She straightened up, her

expression calm, and looked into his eyes as she asked again.

Wesley felt the coldness in his palm and said softly, “Go to the police station and give your statement. I’ll come pick you up after my meeting.”

He didn’t answer her question.

The light in Priscilla’s eyes slowly faded.

She shook off his hand. “Don’t trouble yourself, Mr. Carlton.”

She followed the police out.

The strange looks from outside almost drowned her, but she straightened her back.

At the police station, the officers questioned her repeatedly.

Priscilla kept repeating everything she had done, over and over again.

But as it happened, the surveillance in the lab was broken.

She had no witnesses either.

Moreover, the police found a deposit of five million in her

bank account.

The money had been transferred from an overseas account, with no way to trace its origin.

Someone had gone to great lengths to set up this flawless trap, determined to destroy her.

Priscilla’s confidence gradually crumbled under the relentless questioning.

She dug her nails into her palm, forcing herself to stay calm.

After a whole night, she was completely numb.

All hope in her heart had vanished.

She didn’t know how many more hours had passed when the police asked her to sign.

She was released on bail, but she couldn’t leave Aetherton for the time being and had to be available at any time.

After signing, she saw her husband.

“Priscilla, I’m here to take you home.” His voice was gentle.

Priscilla walked toward him, step by step.

She looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze.

Wesley’s heart trembled.

“Priscilla.”

Priscilla stopped in front of Wesley, her voice exceptionally calm. “Did Larissa become R&D director again?”

Wesley froze.

“Let me explain.”

“No need, Wesley. There’s no need to explain.”

Priscilla curled her lips in self–mockery. “You really went to great lengths to help her solve her problem.”

She asked only to make herself give up completely.

Wesley gripped Priscilla’s wrist tightly, almost forcing her into the car.

“You’re mistaken. This has nothing to do with me, or with Larissa.”

It was nothing but a dirty business war.

“Let’s go home first.”

Tears welled up in the corners of Priscilla’s eyes.

“That’s not my home.”

It was a place she had always wanted to escape from.

In the end, the tears still fell.

How cruel it was.

As soon as she entered the police station, he couldn’t wait to let Larissa take that position again.

It was tantamount to publicly declaring that she was the one
