“And this time, if you dare hurt Larissa, Wes and I won’t let you off.”


    He pronounced Prisci guilty on Wesley’s behalf.


    Suddenly, Prisci lost all desire to defend for herself. She looked up coldly at her twin brother.


    “I’ve always wanted to know–Larissa is your sister, but am I not your sister too?”


    ude sneered without mercy: “Having a sister like you is my disgrace.”


    Disgrace?


    “Good, because I don’t want a brother like you either. What a bad luck.” Prisci clenched her fists and her lips pressed tight.


    “You… You’re just hopeless.” ude grew even angrier.


    He only wanted his sister to be more forgiving toward her family. If she wouldn’t admit her fault. fine, but now she even refused to acknowledge him as her brother.


    Prisci was about to leave.


    But ude blocked her way. “Stop right there.”


    Prisci brushed his hand aside and walked away without looking back:


    “Prisci.” ude, furiously yanked her back and ordered, “At the press conference, you should say the photos were faked by you to


    frame Larissa, and you should apologize to her.”


    Prisci only replied with three words: “You’re insane.”


    And seriously insane at that.


    ude looked at Prisci coldly. “Am I wrong? Ever since Larissa


    came back, you’ve been causing trouble every few days just to get Wes’s attention through despicable and malicious ways. Now I’m only asking you to rify the truth.”


    Prisci’s ankle hurt terribly; it must have swollen up again.


    She had no patience left for this tug–of–war. “If you really think I did it, then go to the police.”


    “The police?” ude was incredulous. “Do you really want everyone to know about the shameful things you’ve done?”


    Prisci was both angry and aggrieved. She hadn’t done it, but all the me fell on her.


    “ude, you have no right to order me around.” Whatever feelings she had left for this brother were now gone.


    When something happened, his first thought was not how to solve the problem, while all he knew was how to use her.


    Having a brother like this was her misfortune.


    Now, she didn’t want him anymore.


    “And what about me?” Tania appeared with Larissa.


    Tania looked exhausted and her eyes were full of disappointment


    she gazed at Prisci. “Prisci, Larissa is your sister. How could you do this?”


    Chapter30


    Prisci clenched her palms. One after another, they all came to wrong


    her.


    She turned her head and stared at Larissa. “Don’t you know whether I did it or not?”


    Larissa instinctively shrank closer to Tania, then said softly, “It wasn’t Prisci who did this. A reporter took photos of me and Wes entering a hotel and made up stories.”


    She exined what had happened.


    ude and Tania hadn’t expected it to really be a misunderstanding.


    However, neither of them showed any intention of apology.


    ude even said, “Even if it wasn’t you, can’t you help rify things?”


    Help rify things…


    Prisci felt a heavy weight in her chest. They just simply said so as if it was such a trivial matter.


    “And what about me? After I rify things, if theye after me and curse me, what am I supposed to do?”


    Maybe she was numb by now, but at this moment, she asked the question with unusual calm.


    What was she supposed to do?


    ude didn’t care. “You’re Wes’s wife who livesfortably at home. Those people can’t bother you.”


    Tania chimed in, “That’s right, that’s right. Larissa is different. She still has work to do; she can’t be affected by this.”


    Chapter30


    As she spoke, her tone softened. She took Prisci’s hand and pleaded<b>, </b>“Prisci, just do it for me, please. Larissa is pure and innocent; she can’t handle this kind of thing.”


    For the sake of her youngest daughter. Tania was willing to humble herself.


    A burning pain seared in the depths of Prisci’s heart.


    Bit by bit, she withdrew her hand with her dested expression. A chill swept through her heart,pletely drowning out any sense of familial affection.


    They were quite calcting–clearly it was Larissa who caused the trouble, yet they wanted to sacrifice her to solve it.


    Larissa’s sobs grew quieter: “Wouldn’t this be too much trouble for Prisci?”


    “She’s your sister, it’s what she should do,” ude said as if it were so natural.


    Larissa came over to thank her: “Thank you. Prisci, for helping


    me…


    “I never agreed,” Prisci said coldly.


    Larissa’s words of thanks caught in her throat. She began to cry aggrievedly, throwing herself into Tania’s arms. “This was my fault to begin with, Prisci shouldn’t have to bear it.”


    Tania was heartbroken, patting her back andforting her.


    ude, too, was especially patient in consoling her.


    The three of them, a loving family, only made Prisci seem like an outsider.
