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.

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.

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