The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 204

Seeing how serious Citrine was, Edith finally believed her.

Though they'd only known each other a short while, Edith could tell Citrine wasn't the type to joke about something so important.

Sure enough, exactly a month later, Edith received Citrine's message right on schedule.

They met at a cozy downtown café.

Citrine had barely sat down before she picked up her coffee to take a sip, but Edith, her mind preoccupied with the whole Innocent situation, was far too anxious for small talk. She snatched the cup from Citrine's hands and set it firmly on the table. "For heaven's sake, Citrine, can you not torture me like this? Tell me already or I'll lose my mind."

Edith stared her down, eyes wide and unblinking. "Well? Which company is it?"

Citrine couldn't help but laugh at Edith's intensity. She decided not to keep her in suspense any longer. "It's CICI Media Co."

"CICI Media Co.? Wait, you mean the same CICI Group that acquired The Iverson Group not long ago?" Edith's eyes widened, her voice rising in disbelief.
