The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 314

Citrine's worry was impossible to miss in her voice.

Raymond paused, feeling a warmth in his chest. He reached out and gently tousled his daughter's hair, his tone soft and reassuring. "You just focus on being happy. I'll take care of everything."

Citrine frowned. "Dick isn't really a threat on his own, but the people backing him are another story."

She suspected that the Glenwood family might be behind Dick. If that was true, they'd definitely make a move against Raymond.

Just picturing the Glenwoods and their dirty tricks made Citrine's expression darken.

From her perspective, Dick's business didn't even compete with the Carmichael family's, and since his backers were such a headache, it made no sense for Raymond to target him. She couldn't figure out his motivation.
