The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 351

message pop up on her phone.

She was still trying to come up with the perfect insult for that conniving witch when another message arrived.

Citrine Carmichael: He said I'm prettier than you.

Kali's rage spiked. She muttered under her breath, "That little tramp."

She furiously typed back: Don't get cocky. Hastings is just bored and toying with you.

No sooner had she hit send than her phone chimed again.

Citrine: He said I'm prettier than you.

Kali was about ready to throw her phone across the room. "Shut up! You really think you're good enough for Hastings?"

Citrine: I could run circles around him and still be out of his league. Besides, he said I'm prettier than you.

Slippery little vixen, Kali thought, fuming. All she's got is that sly, seductive face- what's she so proud of?
