The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 179

At that moment, everyone in the conference room was already picturing President Carmichael storming home to give his daughter a good scolding.

But just as they braced themselves for their usually stern boss to unleash his temper, they heard President Carmichael—of all people-speaking into the phone a voice so soft and oddly high-pitched that it barely sounded like him, or even like a man at all. "Citrine, don't be mad, sweetheart. Daddy just wanted to stand up for you."

Raymond paused, then added, "And it was just a little over a billion. It's really not that much."

The senior executives exchanged glances. The world of the rich was clearly beyond their comprehension.

This wasn't just doting-it was full-blown daddy's girl territory.

Raymond now sat frowning, clearly surprised that Citrine was upset over this.
