The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life novel Chapter 222

Chapter 222 Pinching Her

Neck Hard

“Are you still denying it?” Bruce’s gaze hardened as he pushed Rita’s head against the laptop screen, his voice laden with accusation. “Explain this to me, now! What’s going

on here?”

Accustomed to a life of indulgence and mischief, Rita was unaccustomed to Bruce’s

cold and stern demeanor.

His grip tightened around her neck, causing her breathing to become labored.

Without thinking, she grabbed Bruce’s hand, trying to pull it away. “What are you doing? I’m your sister.”

At that moment, quick footsteps resonated from the hallway.

Tracy entered the room, her face etched with worry. Seeing Bruce’s fury, her eyes narrowed. “Bruce, she’s your little sister. Isn’t there a way to settle this without aggression?”

Seeing Tracy, Rita saw a glimmer of hope, her eyes gleaming with desperation. “Mom, help! Bruce is trying to strangle me.”

Tracy immediately intervened, driven by a rush of protective instinct, chiding Bruce as tears started to form. “She’s your sister, Bruce. It’s your duty to be lenient as the older

sibling.”

Seeing that Bruce didn’t relent, Tracy, with what seemed like newfound courage, managed to push him back and wrapped Rita protectively in her arms.

“Mom!” Rita wept into Tracy’s embrace, her tears falling freely. She cast a resentful glance at Bruce, her face showing no sign of apology.

Tracy softly ran her fingers through her hair while still lecturing Bruce. “If the company’s a mess, take it out on those ruthless shareholders. Why are you picking on

your sister at home? What does that even prove? You’re out of line, attacking your own

sister.”

Bruce countered angrily, tossing his phone to Tracy, “Then look at what she’s been up

to!”

Taking the phone with a look of disbelief, Tracy read through the screen, her eyes widening in shock. She then looked down at Rita, who cowered in her arms.

Rita, feeling cornered, avoided Tracy’s gaze, biting her lip nervously.

“Did you really do this, Rita?” Tracy asked.
