Cecilia snorted, “Larissa, do you think kneeling means I should let you stand?”
She was no saint.
“Keep kneeling if you want.”
She turned to leave but Larissa grabbed the hem of her clothes.
“Cecilia, don’t I even deserve a chance to make things right?”
Cecilia yanked her hand away. “No.”
From Prisci to Corrine, Larissa had forfeited that right.
Irritated, Cecilia tossed the matter to Wesley. “Handle this.”
Wesley pulled Larissa up, frowning. “Enough, Larissa.”
Kneeling in this situation was pure emotional ckmail.
“Wesley, be gentle! She’s your own sister!”
Chu Yue gasped, pulling Larissa close. “We can discuss things. Don’t scold her.”
Larissa pleaded tearfully, “Aunt, I truly want to apologize, I really will change.”
She already had a delicate appearance, and crying made her look even more pitiful.
Larissa’s background was no secret.

So many still sympathized with her.
Ms. Carlton mediated, “In my opinion, Wesley, you and Ci should take Larissa back. If she changes, treat her as your sister. If she stays stubborn, kick her out and let her fend for herself.”
“No.”
Wesley frowned.
Larissa had long changed.
Even if Cecilia didn’t object, after everything that happened, he wouldn’t agree.
Ms. Carlton looked affectionately at Cecilia, “Ci, as the elder sister- inw, you must be forgiving. Forgive Larissa this time. I promise with my guidance, she’ll never repeat those foolish acts.”
Implicitly, Cecilia had to forgive Larissa.
Cecilia found it ridiculous.
“I won’t…”
“I disagree.”
Amelia pushed through the crowd, ncing disdainfully at Larissa, “You’re just a bastard. What right do you have to stand here?
Someone, throw her out.”
“Amelia.”
Ms. Carlton said urgently, “My brother only has these two children. Can’t you tolerate them?”
“Miss Carlton, you should stay out of my business with Brendon. No,

also Ali and Cecilia’s business, you’d better not interfere either.”
Amelia didn’t spare Miss Carlton’s feelings. “A married daughter is like spilled water–stop meddling in family affairs.”
“You…” Miss Carlton was speechless.
Though married and living out–of–province, she still saw herself as a Carlton daughter with her ce at home.
Amelia had no right to say that.
But today was the bride’s special asion, so she bit her tongue. “We’ll discuss Larissater.”
Cecilia refused to cause a scene and turned to leave immediately.
Miss Carlton frowned, summoned an attendant, and gave orders.
“Send Larissa over.”
Cecilia was in a bad mood.
She hoped Luciano could have a happy marriage with a cherished wife, but the thought of it being Fangfei filled her with intense irritation.
Why did it have to be Fangfei?
As she zoned out, her hand was suddenly grasped.
The warm touch snapped her back to reality.
“Still thinking about Luciano?”
Wesley was clearly in high spirits.
Though he was holding back.

Cecilia lowered her gaze to those slender fingers, a faint disgust stirring inside.
“Now the Carlton family can strut around all of Aetherton.”
Marrying into the equally powerful Johnson family while cozying up to the Wilkinsons.
Their future was rock–solid.
Wesley squeezed her fingers, his voice husky. “Luciano and Fangfei will decide their own affairs. I won’t interfere.”
Cecilia didn’t buy it. With such a golden chance totch onto the Wilkinsons, how could he stay hands–off?
The car pulled into the courtyard.
Cecilia and Wesley had just stepped out when another vehicle followed.
The door swung open.
Larissa thudded to her knees before Cecilia, smudges staining her in white dress.
“Sister–inw, please let me stay.”
Her hair hung straight as tears welled in her eyes.
This time, Cecilia didn’t move aside.
She stared at Larissa expressionlessly, said coldly: “Who sent you?”
Larissa wiped her tears, “It was Aunt. She said I caused all this, so I should fix it.”

“My first step is to apologize until you forgive me.”
“Honestly, I know I was wrong, sister–inw. I’m so sorry. Hit me, yell at me–just let me stay and make amends.”
Ms. Carlton’s idea?
Cecilia sneered. That Carlton aunt was bent on “family harmony.”
So she dumped the illegitimate child here.
“Get up.”
Wesley frowned at Larissa. “Have some dignity.”
Larissa bit her lip, nced at Cecilia, and shook her head. “I won’t rise until sister–inw forgives me.”
Cecilia’s face turned icy in the moonlight. “Then kneel forever.”
She left.
Larissa choked back a sob and cried softly.
“Brother, I truly regret it.”
Wesley yanked her up and pulled her inside. –
The living room was empty–Cecilia must’ve gone upstairs.
Wesley told a servant to bring Cecilia hot water, then led Larissa to the sofa.
“I’ll have Johan pick you up.”
Larissa clenched her fists, her face pale, shoulders trembling slightly.
“He won’te.”

“Calling him won’t help, he won’te, he doesn’t like me.”
Wesley said calmly, “Even if he doesn’t like you, you’re still his wife.”
