The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 306

"Your dad bought you a huge new condo in Verona Heights, right by campus. It's all set up-fully furnished, stocked with everything you could possibly need, and the latest seasonal clothes are already in the closet. I've also arranged for our housekeeper to come by and cook for you. Here are the keys."

"Oh, and you can drive any of the cars in the garage. The keys are in the top drawer of your bedroom dresser."

Citrine took the keys, momentarily at a loss for words. She glanced at Raymond, and said sincerely, "Thank you."

"Thank me? I'm your father, that's what I'm here for." Raymond just shook his head, half amused, half exasperated.

They chatted a bit longer before finally saying their goodbyes.

It was still afternoon when Citrine returned to her dorm. No sooner had she walked in than Ingrid and the others practically tackled her in a group hug.

They'd only been apart for a day, but it seemed like her friends had a million things to say.

"Citrine, you're finally back! We missed you so much."

Ingrid clung to Citrine's arm, complaining about the "inhumane treatment" they'd suffered in her absence.

"You have no idea what we went through with you gone."
