The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 326

Everyone knew that landing a license from CICI Group was a guaranteed win. There was no way to lose.

Raymond had no idea why such a golden opportunity had landed in his lap, but he figured it probably had something to do with Citrine.

"He's not in great shape, and I'm worried about him being on his own."

Carlotta and her brother had always depended on each other. They were all the family either of them had. Right now, besides Citrine, Carlotta honestly had no one else to turn to.
