The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 519

Although Kali was only the adopted daughter of the Glenwood family, she had been pampered by them her entire life. With a doting older brother like Theo- who watched over her like a hawk-she was used to being the center of attention, never having suffered the slightest injustice.

This was the first time anyone had ever struck her.

Citrine hadn't held back. Now, both sides of Kali's face were swollen and burning with pain. She couldn't even decide which cheek to clutch, staring at Citrine in stunned disbelief.

"You actually hit me?" Kali's expression was a storm of shock, humiliation, and fury.

Before anyone could react, her eyes flashed with anger. She lunged at Citrine, hand raised and ready to slap her back.

"Yeah, I hit you. What of it?" Wade scoffed, sticking out his foot on purpose.

Kali barely got her hand in the air before she was sent sprawling to the floor, tripped hard. She clutched her knee, wincing and gritting her teeth in pain.

Theo's face darkened the instant he saw his sister being attacked. He crossed the room in a few long strides, dropping to one knee beside Kali to check her injuries.

"Kali, are you alright?" he asked, worry flooding his voice.

Kali had never been so humiliated. She pressed her lips together, refusing to say a word.
