The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 107

Ever since the Carmichael Group pulled out of their partnership with the Iverson Group, a wave of businesses—eager not to offend the Carmichaels-followed suit and withdrew their investments. On top of that, the Carmichael Group had been openly and covertly undermining the Iversons at every turn. The Iverson family's influence wasn't what it used to be.

Citrine hadn't exaggerated; these days, it really was a long shot for the Iversons to secure a deal with CICI Group.

But Sawyer wasn't one to give up. The Iverson Group was the result of years of his hard work, and he was determined to land this partnership with CICI Group today, no matter what.

Carlotta's brow furrowed, her expression darkening.

She turned to face Sawyer. "And why can't I choose the Carmichael Group?"

He spoke his mind plainly: "Right now, CICI Group is the Carmichaels' biggest threat in Havencrest. How can you be sure the Carmichaels are genuinely interested in working with you? Aren't you worried they'll do to you what they did to Chase Group Holdings?"

Carlotta had considered that possibility herself, but she trusted Citrine's judgment even more; there had to be a reason for Citrine's decision.

No wonder Citrine disliked them so much. Carlotta's voice was cold. "That's really not your
