The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 58

Travis arched a brow, the corners of his mouth twitching with a smirk he couldn't quite suppress.

Regina's face shifted through a whole palette of emotions before she finally gave up pretending.

Her expression turned sullen and she looked plaintively at Citrine. "Citrine, what did I ever do to you? Why would you say something like that about me?"

Citrine looked genuinely puzzled, her brow furrowed. "Didn't you just say you spend your days goofing off at Elegance Peak Academy?"

Regina was left speechless.

Unbothered by the attention, Citrine set down her fork and spoke evenly, "The tuition at Elegance Peak Academy runs into tens of thousands a year, and you're just wasting time there. What would you call that, if not a waste?"

She paused to consider, then added with utmost seriousness, "Honestly, I think that money would do a lot more good if it was donated to kids who can't even afford to go to school. At least that would count as charity."

Looking as if she was simply stating the obvious, Citrine's words made Regina's composure finally crack.
