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."
