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."
