The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress
Chapter 17
Chapter 18
Although Citrine never breathed a word about the Iverson family in front of him, the old man knew full well just how cruel they'd been to her.
His concern warmed Citrine's heart. She hadn't planned to keep secrets from him, so she simply told her grandfather that she'd cut ties with the Iversons.

She added softly, "I've already left the Iversons. And... I found my real father."
At the first bit of news, her grandfather finally let out a relieved breath. "Good. You're better off away from those fools. The Iversons never deserved your loyalty."
