The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 323

As soon as Citrine finished speaking, Theo instantly realized he'd been played.

A flicker of anger flashed in his eyes, his stare turning icy as he fixed it on Citrine. His voice had the chill of winter.

"You're toying with me?"

He was a twenty-four-year-old man, and yet he'd just been outsmarted by an eighteen-year-old girl.

Citrine looked perfectly innocent, giving a little shrug. "You asked, and I just answered honestly. Besides, with Glenwood Group being so vast, isn't it only natural I'd want a piece of it?"

Theo's expression darkened. "You dare to covet the Glenwood family? Are you tired of living?"

Citrine met his gaze, her tone breezy. "What's wrong with dreaming? You never know-it might just come true."

He narrowed his eyes at her, voice low. "Citrine Carmichael, there are plenty of ways I could get what I want from you."

It was the first time he'd ever actually wanted a woman, and he was determined to have her no matter what it took.
