The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 13

Chapter 14

After that, Sawyer simply decided to adopt the little one.

Two lost souls, clinging to each other for warmth.

It was the lowest point in Sawyer's life, a time when he had nothing to his name. And yet, with that small bundle of joy by his side, he found a rare, precious comfort he'd never known before.

Though it all happened more than a decade ago, Sawyer remembered every detail, as if it had just happened yesterday.

Back then, that little girl had eyes only for him-she'd cling to his leg, refusing to let go until he picked her up. Now, that same girl was demanding to sever all ties, as if their father-daughter bond meant nothing at all.

And just like that, she'd found her biological father.

The thought that Raymond was her real dad left Sawyer feeling unexpectedly hollow inside.

That night, he didn't sleep a wink.

Meanwhile, after returning home, Raymond immediately ordered someone to investigate Citrine's time overseas.

Sawyer had mentioned she'd lived abroad-and the child's reaction had been anything but normal.
