Earlier, Amelia had called and asked them toe back, but Wesley hadn’t agreed. This time, however, Frank himself had called and told them to return home.
Prisci replied hoarsely in agreement and went upstairs to change.
Wesley watched her thin figure as she walked away, his gazeplicated. He opened his mouth to speak, but in the end, chose to remain silent.
The Carlton’s mansion.
Frank sat upright on the sofa, his expression stern.
He asked Prisci, “Exin.”
He had personally brought her back, only for such a huge mess to explode.
Frank was fuming inside.
Prisci stood there in a daze, unable to exin.
She said nothing. Amelia could no longer hold back. She pointed at Prisci and cursed, “You ungrateful wretch! Our family has treated you well, yet you went and sold the form behind our backs. Serves you right to be born a pauper!”
“Mom, that’s enough,” Wesley frowned. “We haven’t gotten to the bottom of this yet.”

Amelia retorted angrily, “But she took five million from them!”
Frank red at his daughter–inw in displeasure. “Noisy.”
Amelia’s face turned red and her neck bulged with anger.
Frank’s single word silenced Amelia. He turned to Prisci and asked, “Speak.”
Prisci instinctively dug her nails into her palm, her voice slightly hoarse: “The Holiday Series is a brand Iunched. I wouldn’t be stupid enough to destroy my own hard work.”
“Besides, you’ve already promised to let me take the entire Holiday Series brand with me. I have no reason to sell the form.”
Such a simple truth–everyone understood it.
Frank nodded, agreeing with Prisci’s words, but what he wanted was a solution.
“Tell me, how do you n to handle this?”
This time, theunch of Holiday Series had first been dyed, and now the form had leaked. A proper solution was needed.
Prisci said, “I will runch…”
“Get divorced immediately.”
Amelia interrupted Prisci, not wanting to miss this perfect chance to drive her out.
Prisci quieted down, clenching her palm.

Chap 79
What she actually wanted to say was that she would runch a new Holiday Series Perfume to make up for the loss this
time.
But seeing Amelia’s face, eager to throw her out immediately, she suddenly felt that maybe getting divorced would be for the best.
With Wesley shielding Larissa, even if she proved her innocence, what difference would it make?
If it happened this time, it would happen again.
She couldn’t take Holiday Series with her, and couldn’t fulfill her promise to that person. But if sheunched a perfume even more popr than Holiday Series-
That would count as keeping her promise, wouldn’t it?
She quickly made up her mind: divorce first.
She followed Amelia’s lead and said, “Even though I didn’t leak the form, as the main person in charge, I am willing to take full responsibility for what happened.”
Taking a deep breath, she finally spoke the words she most longed to say.
“I am willing to…”
Suddenly, her lowered hand was gripped tightly.
Wesley looked deeply at his wife and finished her sentence: “Prisci is already pregnant. She won’t be involved in the research anymore.”
Prisci was stunned by his unteral decision. It took her

several seconds to react, and she tried to yank her hand back in anger, but Wesley held on tightly.
“You…”
Wesley looked down at her, his thin lips parting, his eyes full of warning.
Prisci read his lips… Bonnie.
All the pent–up emotions surged up at once, but she could only force herself to hold them back.
Her anger was like a stone thrown into ake, creating only a single ripple before she dared not stir up any more waves.
“Pregnant?” Amelia was stunned, staring at Prisci’s belly, her eyes full of regret.
No matter how dissatisfied she was with Prisci, she still cared about the child.
Frank’s stern expression softened. Leaning on his cane, he stood up and said, “Since you’re pregnant, just rest well at home.”
He went upstairs, signaling that, as far as the Carlton family was concerned, the matter was settled.
Amelia, putting on her mother–inw airs, lectured Prisci: “Since you’re pregnant, focus on taking care of yourself at home. If I find out you’re up to any nonsense outside again, I won’t let you off.”
Prisci felt a stifling pain in her chest. She found it allughable.

Wesley said she was pregnant, but she had already been diagnosed by Sarah as infertile.
“…”
She wanted to blurt out the truth regardless of everything, but as soon as she opened her mouth, her fingers were squeezed tightly by Wesley.
It was a silent warning.
Thinking of Bonnie, she could only force herself to swallow
her words.
On the way back, no one said a word.
