Chapter 1212


    Bruce was relentless, his eyes zing with fury as he demanded confirmation once again, "Are you


    sure you didn''t touch my phone orptop?"


    "I, Lucy, have always been upright and honest. If I did something, I''d own up to it. I refuse to take the


    fall for something I didn''t do!"


    Bruce glowered at her for a moment, then released her cor with a forceful push, his jaw clenched


    tight, his expression dark and menacing.


    So, the video hadn''t been deleted by Lucy. That meant she didn''t know about his fling with Evelyn, let


    alone the existence of any incriminating footage.


    But how had the video on his phone vanished into thin air?


    Bruce''s mind raced to Thssa''s recent change in demeanor. She was no longer the pushover she


    used to be, responding to him with defiance instead ofpliance, even going so far as to threaten


    him!


    Could it be Thssa who had deleted the video?


    She was craftier than he had given her credit for, managing to erase the files on his phone and


    Was Thssa trying to slip from his grasp, to free herself from his threats? If so, she was ying a


    child''s game. He wouldn''t be outyed that easily!


    "What''s so damn important about your phone andptop? Are you cheating on me again with some


    other woman?" Lucy snapped back to reality, shoving Bruce with a force that belied her rage.


    Bruce stumbled backwards, then red at her with a dangerous intensity, "You better watch your tone.


    If you keep pushing me, I''ll push back hard!"


    "What, you want to hit me now?" Lucy gasped in disbelief.


    Bruce’s behavior was different today. All his pretense had fallen away, revealing someone brutal,


    ruthless, and seemingly capable of murder.


    Lucy couldn''t ept this version of Bruce. She tried to suppress his dangerous aura with her own


    fierceness and bravado.


    "Quiet down!" Bruce bellowed, his anger boiling over as he raised his fist to strike.


    Lucy saw his clenched fist, ready to unleash all its force upon her. She was dumbstruck, frozen in


    shock.


    "That''s enough!" An anguished cry came from Susan at the top of the stairs.


    Bruce''s fist stopped mere inches from Lucy''s cheek. He turned to see Susan, whose face was streaked


    with tears, storming towards them.


    Bruce lowered his fist.


    Susan approached and cast a resentful nce at Lucy before turning her wrath on Bruce.


    Lucy didn''t want a divorce. Her resolve weakened, and she reached out for Susan''s arm, "Susan, I..."


    "Shut up!" Susan snapped, her voice raw with emotion. "You’ve beenining about his affairs


    every day, yet you won''t leave him! What are you trying to prove? He''s always been this way. If you


    won''t divorce him, then turn a blind eye. If you can''t stand him, then set yourself and everyone else free


    with a divorce!" Read at NovelDrama.Org

    "Susan, you should stay out of this matter. It''s between the two of us," Bruce said, trying to regain


    some control.
