Chapter 245

Chapter 247

After leaving the Jensen estate, Citrine heard that the Carmichael Group had called a shareholders' meeting.

Manley was there too.

A sense of unease gnawed at her.

She didn't dare waste a second-Citrine rushed straight to the Carmichael Group headquarters. When she arrived, she saw Raymond at the end of a long boardroom table, pen in hand, signing away his position as CEO.
