The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 504

"Accusing me of forgery? That's rich. What, does President Carmichael want to frame herself now?"

"Ms. Iverson, you look so refined-I almost thought you were some Ivy League graduate. Turns out you're just trash from some no-name college. No wonder you've got the nerve to stoop to petty theft."

"The Glenwood family's the wealthiest in Crestwood, yet here's a daughter who's sunk so low she's stealing like a common thief."

As the crowd's scornful voices echoed through the room, Jeanette's face flushed red, then blanched pale.

She had no choice but to resort to her old tactics, bursting into tears and trying to flee, hoping she could avoid the humiliation.

But this wasn't the Iverson estate, not anymore. The moment someone noticed Jeanette trying to bolt, they swiftly blocked her path.

"Ms. Iverson, you think you can just walk away in silence after what you've done? Is that how you take responsibility?"

Jeanette, eyes rimmed red and trembling with indignation, snapped back, "Then what do you want from me?"

The person answered matter-of-factly, "When you've done something wrong, you apologize. You stole the Vitaflux President Carmichael was planning to give away -don't you think you owe her an explanation?"

That Vitaflux had been given to her by Kali Glenwood; she couldn't possibly admit it. If she did, she'd be making an enemy out of Kali.
