The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life novel Chapter 259

Chapter 259 Rita’s Freedom

“You really didn’t have to bring anything.” Tracy gestured subtly to a maid, who moved swiftly to collect the items.

She glided over to Leah, clasping her hand with maternal warmth. “I’ve watched you blossom into the remarkable woman you are today–kind, thoughtful, and considerate. Bruce couldn’t ask for a better partner. He’s truly blessed to have you as his future wife.”

A rosy blush crept across Leah’s cheeks as she smiled demurely. “I just hope you don’t resent me. If it weren’t for my involvement, the Ashton family wouldn’t be facing this scandal…”

Tracy’s voice turned to ice as she interjected, “You’re not to blame for any of this. That manipulative Corrine bears full responsibility! She hasn’t just damaged your and Bruce’s reputations–she’s brought shame to the entire Ashton family. She seems to

have forgotten who provided her comfortable lifestyle all these years. Now that she’s found wealthy backing, she’s determined to crush us beneath her heel. Mark my words, people like her eventually face divine justice.”

In Tracy’s mind, Corrine shouldered all blame for the Ashton family’s current predicament.

Yet the family conveniently overlooked their own role–their insatiable greed and Rita’s revenge, leading to their current misfortunes.

Observing Tracy’s venomous attitude toward Corrine sent a wave of satisfaction coursing through Leah.

“Please take care of yourself. Don’t let this upset you further.” She guided Tracy to the sofa, accepting a cup of coffee from the maid before offering it to Tracy with a

solicitous smile.

Tracy savored a sip, exhaling deeply before turning her attention to Leah. “What brings you here today, dear?”

“There’s a Forreal auction tomorrow,” Leah responded with calculated gentleness. “I thought it might lift Rita’s spirits to attend.”

Tracy’s face brightened considerably. “How wonderfully thoughtful of you.”

Chapter 259 Rita’s Freedom

Since the incident, Rita had been confined in her chambers, her isolation breaking Tracy’s maternal heart.

Yet with both Farris and Bruce holding Rita responsible, Tracy remained powerless to

intervene.

Leah’s suggestion presented the perfect opportunity for Rita’s reemergence.

As anticipated, Bruce yielded to Leah’s proposal, and Farris found himself unable to

object.

When Leah shared news of the charity event, excitement kept Rita awake through the

night.

After two weeks of confinement, the walls had begun closing in.

Finally, she could reclaim her place in society.

Evening descended upon the city, bathing it in artificial radiance at seven o’clock.

The convention center, Lyhaton’s architectural crown jewel, stood resplendent beneath the shimmer of countless lights.

– In the plaza, the fountain performed its eternal dance, its waters twirling like an

ethereal ballerina beneath the ever–changing illumination.
